Talent Swallowing Hero

The [Supreme Market] in Phirie City was only established a few years back and it was not profitable yet as they only have a few customers.

On the other hand, the [Supreme Market] in Starlight City was established more than a decade back and gained a steady footing in the city with a lot of customers.

‘There are more than 20 stores and a dozen Supreme-ranked customers.'

Among the masked customers, Leo could sense around 12 of them have level 1 Supreme rank.

Hence, it made him think, ‘Mostly those who enter the [Supreme Markets] are those from the Evil Families and the secret organizations. Anyway, they would tell me that Talent Swallowing Hoer was behind the destruction.'

Even though there were a dozen supreme-ranked customers in the [Supreme Market], Leo planned to use them to do free publicity that Talent Swallowing Hero had become a supreme-ranked.

‘I wonder whether their secret organizations and the city leaders continue to pressure me to join their city or organization.'

Under his mask, Leo chuckled a little as he strolled few stores and bought one or two rank 9 items before going straight to the Slave Store.

Of course he didn't bother about the other masked customers and focused according to his plan.

"Welcome, respected customer."

Seeing Leo walk into his store, the store owner welcomed him and informed, "My store have all types of slaves: Beasts, Monsters, normal humans and even awakened heroes. My store have every-type of slaves."

"Do you have Elves?"

Leo asked the store owner in a cold voice, making the store owner rub the back of his head.

‘Where did this b*stard come from? Does he think getting Elves is so easy to get?'

"Sorry, Customer. We had a few; however, a few minutes back a customer had bought them."

However, the store owner said that he had sold them already.

‘Bullsh*t.'

Leo knew the store owner's words were not true; however, he didn't bother to argue with someone who was going to die.

"I will buy all of them. What is the price?"

,ᴄ-ᴏm Leo sounded lazy when he said those words.

"A..all of them?"

The store owner froze for a moment and seeing that Leo was not joking, he became excited and said,

"100 normal Humans – 8 million Hero Coins."

"10 Basic Heros – 1.5 million Hero Coins."

"10 Beauties: 1 million Hero coins."

"100 Basic ranked beasts – 10 million Hero Coins"

"100 Basic ranked monsters – 10 million Hero Coins."

The store owner did the calculation in front of Leo and adding together, the total became 30.5 million Hero Coins.

"The respected customer, you can just pay 30 million Hero coins."

The store owner acted generous by giving a small discount of 0.5 million Hero Coins.

"I have a 20 percent discount on my purchases from the branch leader."

Leo saw the token he received from the branch leader and after a discount, he paid 24 million Hero coins.

Even though he would be coming back to take them back, Leo didn't want to act out of ordinary and redeemed the discount given by the Branch Leader.

"Don't send them to my address; instead, deliver them to this location. And, I need them by tonight. Can you do that?"

Leo sent the coordinates of a location in the wilderness that was around 100 kilometers away from the Starlight City.

"Delivering them outside the city will not be a problem; however…."

"I just sent one million extra for the delivery. Is it enough?"

Before the store owner could finish his words, Leo transferred one million to which the store owner said, "I will do a special delivery and it will arrive in six hours."

"Good."

Leo nodded and strolled the other stores for sometime before leaving the [Supreme Market].

…..

"What? He bought all the slaves?"

Inside the Branch Leader's office, the old man that guided Leo informed about Leo's purchase.

"This brat…must have struck rich in the [Treasure Land]."

The Branch Leader was surprised for a moment; however, he knew how Leo became rich.

He wanted to interrogate Leo to search for the treasures on his body; however, the branch leader concluded that Mr White had already interrogated and taken all the valuable treasures including the ‘Fragment of the God Stone'.

Leo had already spent quite a lot of Hero Coins in Phirie City's [Supreme Market] and in his [Supreme Market], he spent another large sum of Hero Coins.

Therefore, he didn't bother to think about Leo; instead, he focused on the Talent Swallowing Hero.

"The Headquarters will be sending two additional Supreme Heroes to all the branches because of that Talent Swallowing Hero. Damn it….if they come here, all the valuable treasures will be taken by them."

The branch leader clenched his fists and cursed Talent Swallowing Hero.

The thing is, it was a known fact that the Talent Swallowing Hero won't stop after destroying an evil family and the headquarters feared that he would be destroying the others [Supreme Markets] soon.

Therefore, they decided to send two supreme-ranked heroes until the Talent Swallowing Hero was captured or killed.

"Master, can I keep watching Leo? Why would he buy so many enslaved humans, beasts and monsters?"

The old man asked the Branch Leader whether he should continue to keep an eye on Leo.

"Let's not bother about what he was going to do; instead, I have another mission for you."

The branch leader shook his head and ordered, "Recover all our loans by tonight by any means necessary. I want them before those two supreme-ranked b*stards arrive here; otherwise, they would take everything for themselves."

"I have already calculated, master. Adding the principle and interest from every loan we gave away, it would be nearly 50 million Hero Coins."

The Old man nodded and took out a small handbook filled with names and numbers before leaving the building.

‘I have 25 million Hero coins in my storage rings and upon adding my commission from the [Supreme Market], I only need around 20 million Hero Coins to enter that Black Tower.'

The Branch Leader clenched his fists with excitement as he was reaching closer towards his goal.

‘Once I enter the Black Tower, I can become an elder and my path to become the vice leader of the organization will be cleared.'
