Talent Swallowing Hero

In a luxurious manor, Starlight City,

“Sir Leo.”

Seeing Leo entering the manor, the servants of the manor respectfully bowed to Leo.

This manor and the servants working in this manor were a reward from the city leader of Starlight City after he saved his son.

Of course, the servants were only respectful to Leo but were not loyal because their loyalty lies with the Starlight City’s Leader.

‘I hope someone from the ‘Order of the Black Tower’ contacts me. After taking care of the things of this city’s branch, I have to pay a visit to the city leader with my other identity.’

After entering his room, Leo sat cross-legged and started cultivating while waiting for someone.

p<ᴀɴᴅᴀ>-、 There were two things that Leo had to complete in Starlight City. One was to destroy the side branch of [Order of the Black Tower] and the other was to meet Starlight City’s leader.

According to Mr White, someone from the [Order of the Black Tower] would contact him and invite him to the [Supreme Market]. So, Leo was waiting for that someone while cultivating.

‘Ding,

+100 units of Starlight Energy are absorbed into Starlight Dantian.

‘Ding,

+100 units of Starlight Energy are absorbed into Starlight Dantian.

“Sir Leo, someone wants to meet you. Will you meet him?”

Leo had already informed the servants that they could freely inform him if someone wanted to meet him.

Only after two hours of his cultivation, one of the servants informed Leo.

‘So soon.’

Leo nodded and walked out of the room to meet the guest.

…..

“Sir Leo, you must have already guessed my identity.”

It was an old man wearing black robe. He didn’t introduce himself; instead, he said to Leo in a mysterious tone regarding his identity.

“Yes.”

Leo nodded and asked, “I am in need of some slaves and some rank 9 items.”

“The Branch Leader has asked me to invite you to his house. Let’s meet him first before going to the Supreme Market.”

The old man nodded and guided Leo to a luxurious building that was as tall as the city hall of the city.

“Sorry for troubling you to come here.”

The branch leader was a middle-aged man wearing black suit with red-tie around his neck. The moment they met, he apologized to Leo.

“It’s alright! But, can you say what you want to say quickly? I have to leave Starlight City by tomorrow.”

Leo acted like he was in a hurry. Of course, he was in a hurry to leave Starlight Ciy; however, he would only leave after completing the things in the city.

“I heard Customer Leo was the last one to visit to the [Supreme Market] in Phirie City, did you see anyone suspicious when you visited the market or Mr. White?”

The Branch Leader of the Starlight City asked Leo about the Phirie City’s [Supreme Market].

However, he remained polite and respectful to Leo because it was the main policy of their organization to remain polite to the rich customers like Leo.

Moreover, in Starlight City, Leo became famous overnight after saving the city leader’s son. So, as the Branch Leader who was planning to take over the Starlight City, he had to become close to the City Leader and those who were connected to the City Leader.

“Huh?”

Leo intentionally raised his brows and replied, “No. I didn’t see any….wait a second. I saw someone suspicious; however, everyone who enters the Supreme Market is suspicious, right?”

“What? You saw someone suspicious?”

The Branch Leader became excited and hurriedly asked, “Who is it? Can you recognize me if you see him again?”

“He was wearing a red-coloured mask…wait a second…thinking back the mask he was wearing looked a little similar to the Talent Swallowing Hero; however, I don’t think you will allow him into the [Supreme Market], right?”

Leo had already planned everything before entering Starlight City and slowly made the branch leader suspicious of the Talent Swallowing Hero.

“By the way, did something happen?”

At the same time, he acted innocent and asked the branch leader about it.

“What? Someone with the same mask as the Talent Swallowing Hero?”

The branch leader raised his eyebrows after listening to Leo’s narration and thought, ‘Is it really him?’

Since the Talent Swallowing Hero was known as ‘Evil Family Exterminator’, Leo didn’t have to try his best to convince the branch leader.

All he had to do was to raise some suspicions with some gaps regarding the Talent Swallowing Hero and the branch leader would fill those blanks.

“Someone killed Mr White and subordinates and took all the items from the [Supreme Market]. In short, there will be no [Supreme Market] in Phirie City for a couple of years.”

“The city leader was killed and it was taken over by an organization named ‘Order of the Healing Angels’.”

After concluding the fact that it was done by the Talent Swallowing Hero, the branch leader explained to Leo about the things that happened in Phirie City after he left.

“What? The City Leader died? Mr White was killed?”

Leo acted like he didn’t know those things; however, he said, “I know a few things about the ‘Order of the Healing Angels’. However, no matter how much they try, I don’t think they could manage a city. Sooner or later, it will be taken over by some secret organizations.”

“You know about the secret organizations too?”

The branch leader was a little surprised; however, recently, the secret organizations were no longer staying secret and going all out after receiving the worldly announcement.

So, he didn’t think much about it.

“Customer Leo, I have something important to do. You can go and shop in the [Supreme Market] now. For giving some valuable information, you will receive a special 20 percent discount on all the items from my [Supreme Marker].”

Since he learned that the Talent Swallowing Hero was connected to the destruction of one of their branches, the Branch Leader decided to inform the headquarters about it.

Hence, he sent Leo away as he entered a secret room to connect with the headquarters.

Of course, he didn’t forget to give a discount for Leo’s information.

…

‘That went better than I thought.’

Following the old man from before, Leo silently thought.

Since all the secret organizations were already hunting the Talent Swallowing Hero, Leo was not worried much about it.

Moreover, Leo felt it was better for all the secret organizations to come at him so that he could make this world clear of all those secret organizations that always have the power to control the world.

“Sir Leo, this is one of the entrances into the [Supreme Market].”

Soon, the old man guided Leo into the basement of one of the buildings that was a little far away from the branch leader’s office and residence.

“Time to buy.”

Without wasting any time, Leo visited the [Supreme Market]; however, he was shocked to see a completely different-type of [Supreme Market].

Compared to Phirie City’s [Supreme Market], it was completely different and it was bustling with so many customers and there were so many stores unlike the four stores in Phirie City’s [Supreme Market].

‘This basically looks like a hidden city.’
