Talent Swallowing Hero

Outside the [Treasure land],

All the powerhouses of Phirie city were waiting in front of the dark pillar.

They were excited after learning about the [Treasure land] and the treasure points to buy the treasures.

However, whenever one of their young heroes got kicked out of the [Treasure land] without any treasure, they became anxious.

Nevertheless, everyone became disappointed after a few hours, other than the Ambermane family, the Icefeather family, and the City leader.

“City leader, it looks like your children will be getting some good treasures.”

“Family head Liam and Family head Oliver, you too.”

Family head Gregor and other powerhouses of the Phirie city were praising them.

Since more than 70 percent of the participants were kicked out, the chances of getting at least one treasure for the remaining participants were high.

“If my children find some treasures, I will host a party tomorrow night.”

Theodore was very confident in his children and already thinking of hosting a party.

‘Even though Zander didn’t have much intelligence, Zola was very intelligent just like me. Zander will protect her with his combat skills whereas Zola will guide him.’

He was proud of the duo and knew it wouldn’t be a problem for his children to get some good treasures from the [Treasure land].

“Don’t worry. If it is not very useful for my family, I will put it on my next premium auction.”

Oliver was beaming with happiness as he promoted his premium auction.

‘Even though I should be happy right now, why am I having a bad premonition in my heart?’

However, Liam could not feel happy as he looked at the dark pillar.

‘That b*stard. I am going to kill him.’_-.

As for Mr White, his heart was burning with rage as he learned Leo killed his participants despite knowing they were his people.

So, he swore to kill Leo as soon as he came out of the [Treasure land].

‘Swoosh’

Amidst their conversations, they saw some participants appear in front of him.

“Zac, what happened? Is Zen still inside?”

Liam hurriedly rushed to his son and asked.

“It’s all because of that b*stard Leo. He killed us…..”

Soon, Zac briefly explained everything that happened on the mountain top.

‘Swoosh’

As Liam was listening to Zac, a light flashed as Zen appeared.

Like everyone, he was also surprised that he was still alive and soon cursed Leo.

“Damn it…I am going to kill him.”

Seeing that everyone from his family’s group was killed by Leo, Liam swore to kill him once he got out.

“Sorry, Family head Liam. Our talents were sealed and Leo had top-notch combat skills. We were unable to protect Zen and Zac.”

Dominic apologized to Liam.

“Don’t worry.”

Before Liam could say anything, Zen replied, “I was surprised your hand to hand combat skills were much better than Zander. Why don’t you continue to work for my family?”

Before entering the [Treasure land], Zen thought Dominic and others were only rank 6 heroes; however, only after entering the [Treasure land] did he learn that they were all rank 7 heroes.

Moreover, he was satisfied with their sense of duty. So, he liked to hire them for some more time.

“It will cost you a lot.”

Even though Dominic would accept that offer without any pay, he didn’t want to raise suspicions. So, he informed them it would cost them a lot to hire them.

“Money is not a problem.”

Zen nodded his head and agreed without thinking much.

‘Swoosh’

A few more seconds passed as Julia and Ryan appeared.

‘This b*tch also got killed?’

Zen and Zac were surprised to see Julia appear right after them because she was under the protection of Leo. So, there was no way someone could kill her.

‘Gulp’

As soon as she appeared, she saw that the elite talent upgrading stone was still inside her hands. Without thinking much, she swallowed it.

After consuming the talent upgrading stone, it only took a few seconds for her to become a rank 7 hero.

“Capture her.”

Coming out of their shocks, both Zen and Zac shouted at once.

“Ryan, stand behind me.”

Since Ryan has a powerful attacking type talent, he decided to protect her.

“Ryan, there is no need for that.”

‘Screech’

While saying that, Julia summoned the rank 8 mutated beast ‘Abyssal Eagle’.

“What? She has a rank 8 mutated beast pet?”

“It looks more powerful than regular rank 8 mutated beasts.”

“I wonder where she got it from.”

Everyone, including Ryan, was surprised by the sudden appearance of the enormous eagle.

“I was lucky enough to enter the [Treasure room] and got a rank 8 pet.”

Julia lied about where she got the huge eagle from without any hesitation.

“Father, let’s capture her. As long as we have her, that b*stard Leo would kneel in front of us.”

Zen misunderstood that Leo liked Julia and would do anything for her.

So, he asked his father to help him capture her.

“So what if you capture her? Do you think Leo will beg you?”

In the next second, lights flashed by as more than 40 participants appeared in front of the pillar, and among them, Amy was the one who scoffed at Zen.

“Huh? What are you saying?” Zen frowned.

“Leo killed her without any heistation when I offered him something.”

Zola answered Zen’s question as she silently informed everything to her father.

‘What?’

Theodore was shocked when he heard Zola’s words.

“Leave it. There is no need to fear that incident anymore. Even if everyone in the city knows about it, I don’t care.”

However, Theodore smiled and asked his daughter to not bother about that incident.

‘Oh. Okay, father.’

Zola nodded her head and looked at Julia, “However, I want them dead.”

“Okay.”

Theodore didn’t even bother to ask the reason and nodded his head.

“Go and imprision them for betraying the group.”

He looked at a rank 9 city guard behind him.

“Yes, sir.”

Since a rank 8 mutated beast protected Julia, Theodore sent a rank 9 hero.

“City leader, on what charges do you want to imprison them?”

However, a female voice resounded in the surroundings, asking the city leader.

“Why do you care, Captain Valerie?”

Looking at the fully equipped woman in front of Julia. The city leader frowned.

Captain Valerie is the squad leader of the third-ranked mercenary squad in Phirie city. So, the City leader and Liam were surprised why she would want to protect Julia.

“Wait a second.”

Valerie asked them to wait as she turned her head to Julia, who was a little bit anxious because of the Ambermane family and the City leader.

“Do you want to join my ‘Graceful swans’ mercenary squad?”

Valerie asked Julia with a bright smile on her face.

“Me?”

Julia was surprised by the sudden offer; however, she nodded her head without hesitation.

“Good. From now on, you are the 10 member of my ‘Graceful swams’ mercenary squad.”

As soon as Julia agreed, Valerie announced it to everyone to clarify that Julia was under her protection.

“Do you think you can protect her?”

Hearing those words, Liam became silent; however, Theodore didn’t think much as he asked Valerie with a smile.

“Of course. Because, I am a member of ‘Order of the Healing Angels’ and my squad is also a part of it, which makes Julia also a member of the organization.”

Everyone was shocked to hear those words; however, Valerie continued with a smug look, “If you still want to kill her, go ahead.”
