Talent Swallowing System

Chapter 89 Three Objectives

‘A haunted manor?’

Coming out of the [Supreme Market], Leo could not help but shake his head.

After finishing the deal with the old man with a belly, Leo checked the last stall, ‘Miscellaneous stall’.

However, there was nothing that piqued his interest. So, he quietly left the market the same way he went in.

Also, in the [Supreme Market], Leo noticed a huge wall with the title ‘Assasin wall’ with a few posters on it.

Leo knew as long as one sticks a poster and pays the money in advance to the [Supreme Market], someone would kill the target and take that money.

However, all the posters on the wall were marked as ‘X’, which means they had successfully finished the target.

Nevertheless, Leo wasn’t interested in using that to take his revenge. Moreover, it might even backfire on him because Mr. White might take the city leader’s side and backstab him.

‘How many hours are left for the completion of the system upgrade?’

Leo muttered to himself, and a timer appeared in front of him.

[10 hours left]

‘Mr. White must have already informed others about my arrival. If that happens, according to the contract, he should inform them that I am working for him. So, I can go and relax for tonight and start planning my next move.’

Leo had planned so many things before entering the city, and so many unexpected things had happened around him.

At the same time, he also learned some new things. So, he wanted to check his plan once again before starting his revenge._-.

‘First, I should find the real reason behind the death of my adoptive parents and take revenge for it.’

‘Second, I have to free as many enslaved humans as possible and find Joel and Claire before going against the ‘Black suits’.’

‘Third, I have to finish the things that the otherworldly beings left halfway. In the process, I have to find the b*stard who marked a slave seal on my body.’

Leo was clear about his goals and their preferences.

‘As for becoming the Supreme Hero, I have to do it while completing the first and second objectives.’

For his first two objectives, becoming a supreme hero was not very important; however, he should be powerful to complete the third objective.

As long as he fulfilled the third objective, Leo doesn’t have to worry about failing the world assessment.

‘Master, if you don’t complete the first objective, you will never become a supreme hero. Isn’t that the reason why we came to this city?’

All of a sudden, Leo heard Vladimir’s voice in his head.

‘Vladimir, didn’t I tell you not to use mind-reading on me?’

Leo transmitted his voice to the shadow vampire and asked, ‘Why are you here? Didn’t I tell you to protect Julia?’

‘Master, I can’t follow her anymore.’

Vladimir replied lowly and continued saying, ‘Because ‘The Order of the Healing Angels’ sent a special rank 8 hero to protect Julia. When she entered Ryan’s house, she sensed my existence and hurriedly called rank 9 heroes.’

‘Huh? A special rank 8 hero?’

Leo was surprised; however, he revealed a slight smile, ‘It’s good. They will take care of her from now on.’

‘My existence will only put her in trouble. So, I left before the rank 9 heroes arrived.’

After saying that, the shadow vampire asked, ‘By the way, where are we going, Master?’

‘Home.’

Leo didn’t bother to use [Space Manipulation]; instead, he walked all the way to the manor, which is very close to the city’s outer wall.

…..

“What? He came out of the [Treasure land] and He is working for Mr. White?”

The city leader and the family heads of the three powerful families were shocked when they learned the news about Leo.

“Yes. Mr. Leo had already given a ‘Fragment of the God stone’ to our chairman. So, please don’t bother Mr. Leo regarding the items from [Treasure land].”

“Moreover, Mr. Leo said he will be selling a few things he got from the [Treasure land] through the Icefeather family’s auction house three days from today. You can attend it and buy the items you like.”

The men working for Mr. White visited those powerhouses, explained everything they were supposed to tell, and left.

“He gave away a ‘Fragment of the god stone’?”

Everyone was shocked and didn’t doubt that Leo was working for Mr. White anymore.

“Let’s attend the auction and see what kind of items he got from the [Treasure land].”

Soon, everyone decided to attend the auction because they were curious about the [Treasure land] items.

However, they knew Leo would not auction off all the items he got from the [Treasure land].

‘This Leo, he is more mysterious than we thought. Even the information regarding his hero rank and his talents are not accurate.’

Everyone started to feel uneasy with Leo because the information they bought was never wrong until now.

However, for the first time, it was not accurate because they learned that Leo’s hero rank was rank 7 and that he had the third talent related to earth.

“Keep an eye on him for now.”

In the end, everyone decided to observe Leo for now and decide what to do with him after gaining more information on him.

A young man who had three rare talents and had already become a rank 7 hero before 25 was a rare genius.

However, too bad, he was already working for Mr. White. So, all they could do right now was wait and see for an opportunity to either recruit him or erase him.

…

Among the three family heads, Oliver was the happiest one because Leo would be using his auction house to auction off the items from the [Treasure land].

On the other hand, Liam was furious because he learned that Leo had evidence of his family’s dirty secret.

“If it means going against Mr. White, we should kill that b*stard.”

Liam decided to kill Leo and apologize to Mr. White later.

“Father, since that b*stard is working for Mr. White, you can’t even use the assassin wall from the [Supreme Market] and Clemens got killed in his hands.”

Zen calmly asked, “So, who should we send?”

“Where is your Uncle Seth?”

Liam looked at his son Zen and asked in a serious tone.

“He went to Starlight city on a mission. It will take at least a couple of weeks for him to return.”

Zen answered without thinking much.

“Hm…then what about your second uncle?”

“Uncle Mad?”

Zen was shocked when his father asked about his second uncle.

“Father, don’t tell me, you are planning to send Uncle Mad to kill Leo.”

“Yes. I know your uncle Mad does mad things; however, he has never failed the missions I gave him. Moreover, other than your uncles, I can’t leave this matter to someone from outside the family.”

Liam scoffed at Zen and urged him to inform his uncle about the mission.

“Okay, father.”

Since he was the reason behind Leo knowing his family’s secret, he could only endure his father’s deadly stare and do whatever he asked him to do.

….

The south-east corner of Phirie city,

‘Let’s see what type of ghost is haunting my manor.’

Looking at the huge manor, Leo silently muttered to himself before walking through the gate.
