Talent Swallowing System

‘A breakthrough? Even though I was expecting it to upgrade its grade, I didn’t expect it would be so soon.’

Leo was pleasantly surprised by the sudden system notification.

‘I think there were so many weapons and artifacts in the weapons store.’

In the weapons store of the [Supreme Market], there were dozens of rank 9 weapons, hundreds of rank 8, and thousands of rank 7 weapons. So, Leo was not surprised with the breakthrough of his Arcane Silver anymore.

‘Ding,

The breakthrough of the Arcane Silver will be completed in 24 hours. During that time, the host can’t use it.

‘Huh? It looks like all weapons need 24 hours to upgrade to the supreme grade.’

Leo thought about the War God’s Battle Axe, which was about to complete its upgrade, and silently thought.

‘I have already given Captain Valerie a signal to start the takeover process of Phirie City. I hope they can successfully claim the city core and defend it until their supreme-ranked hero arrives.’

Since Leo had taken care of the powerful hidden boss in the Phirie City, he was not worried too much about the Graceful Swans because he knew what they were capable of._.

‘As for the Cloudriver family, by now, the ‘Ethereal Blades’ must have finished their job.’

‘Ethereal Blades’ is the young mercenary squad that the Cloudriver family recruited to enter the [Treasure Land]; however, they were Leo’s followers and were sent by Leo to keep an eye on the Cloudriver family from inside.

Since Leo got all the answers he wanted, he felt there was no need for the Cloudriver family to exist anymore. Therefore, he sent Vladimir to inform the ‘Ethereal Blades’ to take care of the Cloudriver family silently.

‘As for the Icefeather family, I will let them off for Amy’s sake. If not for her, Julia would have suffered a lot. That’s the least I could do for her.’

Even though Leo acted cold in front of Amy, she was his first love and helped him when others kept their distance.

‘Anyway, once the ‘Order of the Healing Angels’ takes over Phirie City, the Icefeather family’s business will take quite a hit as they could not sell the enslaved beings through the auctions anymore.’

Most of the income for the Icefeather family comes from the auction house…to be more specific; it comes from the enslaved beasts and monsters.

The ‘Order of the Healing Angels’ also hates enslaving others after an incident. As for what that incident was …it was even classified in the organization.

‘Now, let’s see what I learned about the Black Suits.’

After putting aside all other thoughts, Leo checked the information about the Black Suits.

‘So, they were called the Order of the Black Tower.’

Finally, Leo got to know the name of the organization he had nicknamed ‘Black Suits’.

According to the information he received from the system about the Order of the Black Tower, its main objective was to establish a [Supreme Market] in each city and make sure everything was available in it and where everyone could access it.

‘So, this is their pickup line for the new members. What a load of bullsh*t!’

Leo scoffed at their organization’s motto; however, he knew what kind of organization it was and what atrocities they could do to achieve its motto.

They kidnap people and turn them into slaves before selling them through their [Supreme Markets]!

They take assassination orders, and as long as you give enough hero coins, they would even assassinate the city leaders.

‘Of course, if their target is rich and could afford to pay them more than their patron, they don’t hesitate to make a deal with their target to kill the patron. There is no limit to their atrocities.’

Since Mr White was the branch leader, Leo was able to learn more than just the motto of the ‘Order of the Black Tower’.

‘Suprsingly, Mr White was the one who bought me and Joel along with other missing children from the city.’

However, when he thought about it, Leo was a little surprised that Mr White had already entered Phirie city back then.

As for buying him and Joel, Leo was not surprised because that’s what the ‘Order of the Black Tower’s main business was.

Either kidnap or buy the children from the nameless families and turn them into slaves before selling them through their channels.

‘I guess he bought his death upon himself.’

This was the only thought in his head.

If Mr White didn’t buy Leo and Joel, back then and let the servants of the Ambermane Family kill them, Mr White might still be alive and soon have taken over Phirie City.

So, what is it called other than Buying his own Death?

‘Even though he saved me by turning me into a slave, I already killed him. There is no need to think about it.’

If he had known that before, Leo might have hesitated a little in killing Mr White; however, he felt it was a waste of time to think about the closed chapter of Mr White.

‘While the ‘Order of the Healing Angels’ take over Phirie City, it’s time to establish my own city.’

Since Leo was already a supreme-ranked hero, there were no more restrictions for him in using the City Creation Token to establish his own city.

‘I have already selected a nice location to establish a city.’

Before meeting with Leader Maisy, creating a city was a part of his plan. So, he already selected a location for it. So, there was not much for Leo to think about as he decided to leave the manor.

‘Swoosh’

“Master, I helped the Ethereal Blades and have successfully completed the mission.”

Suddenly, the shadow vampires jumped out of Leo’s shadow and informed Leo about the mission of taking care of the Cloudriver family.

“Did they already go back to the ‘Tribe’?”

Leo paused in his tracks and asked Vladimir, who nodded in reply.

“Let’s go. It’s time to create our own City.”

Soon, Leo took the surprised Vladimir and his new followers to the location where he was going to create a city.
