Talent Swallowing Hero

‘Looks like he is getting rid of that trash item in the name of the special item.’

Mr. White silently thought in his head as he didn’t bother much about it.

“Thank you, family head Oliver. I will make good use of it.”

However, when Leo saw the item in the gift box, he revealed a slight smile as he thanked Oliver from the bottom of his head.

‘Huh?’

Seeing that, Oliver got confused and thought, ‘Did he know how to use that thing?’

‘Not even Mr.White was able to appraise that thing. There is nothing to worry about losing that item.’

Once he thought about the evaluation of that item from White Chandler, Oliver didn’t think much about it.

‘However, I am curious about his origins.’

Not only Oliver, everyone was curious about Leo’s origins and wanted to find out how he had so much money.

….

‘Beep’

Suddenly, the city leader received a message from a contact named ‘Money grubber’ on his phone.

‘Click’

Theodore opened the message.

…._-.

Name:- Leo.

Age:- 23

Profession:- Mercenary (works alone).

Hero rank:- Rank 6.

Talents:- Teleportation and Combustion.

Note: There is no clarity on the talents’ levels, but at least one of them has to be level 6.

Achievements:- 1) He became famous after killing three rank 6 monster kings in the monster invasion against Starlight city.

2) During the same invasion, he also saved the young geniuses from the powerful families, including the son of the city leader of Starlight city.

Backing:- The city leader and the three influential families of the starlight city might help him to repay the favor for saving their young geniuses.

Reason for coming to Phirie city:- Possibly to enter the ‘God ruins’.

The complete information about Leo appeared on the screen, making Theodore surprised.

‘No wonder he was able to take out so much money.’

Finally, the city leader understood how Leo got so much money.

‘Beep’

[The cost of this information is one million hero coins]

‘This money-grubbing b*stard.’

In the next second, he received another message, and checking it made the city leader curse him.

Nevertheless, he asked one of his loyal servants to settle payment with the ‘Money grubber’.

…

‘Beep’

Soon after, the other participants also received messages containing Leo’s information.

‘So, he had the support of a city leader. No wonder he was openly showing off.’

After checking out Leo’s information, this was the conclusion everyone came off too.

‘He is a lone mercenary.’

Linus, the ‘Berserk Heroes’ mercenary squad leader, was excited as he asked Richard, ‘Shall we invite him to our squad?’

In their view, Leo had a good support talent and a powerful attack talent. So, as long as he becomes an advanced hero in the future, he will only become more and more powerful.

‘Let’s not embarrass ourselves in front of him. Do you think he will join us?’

Richard scoffed at Linus as he said, ‘For now, let’s focus on the auction and buy some useful items for our young squad members in the ‘God ruins’.’

The actual objective of all the participants except for Mr.White and Leo was to get some valuable items for their young geniuses who would be entering the ‘God ruins’.

“Sixth item, the rank 8 healing pills.”

“Seventh item, the rank 8 talisman ‘Invisible armour’.”

“Eighth item….”

.

.

The auctioneer introduced one item after another as the participants instantly brought them at a reasonable price.

Oliver had an ear-to-ear smile as he counted the profit he would get after successfully selling an item.

As for Leo, nothing piqued his interest, and he didn’t bother to bid for anything.

“There are only two items left for this auction, and as you already know, we keep the best items for the last.”

The beautiful auctioneer revealed a mysterious smile as a small golden cage appeared in her hand.

“The penultimate item of this auction is a Quasi-supreme grade artifact ‘Thundersoul cage’. As the name suggests, its main function is to capture the monsters and the mutated beasts.”

The auctioneer briefly introduced the item as she stated, “Starting price is 10 million hero coins.”

‘Another quasi-supreme grade item.’

Everyone was surprised because finding one of such items was already a miracle, but there was another item.

Moreover, the price of the artifact was very high, which made the three mercenary squads hesitate in bidding.

“15 million Hero coins.”

Amidst the silence, Mr.White raised the first bid, and he directly increased the price to 15 million hero coins.

‘As expected of Mr.White. No wonder he is the richest man in Phirie city.’

The previous quasi-supreme grade artifact was sold for 10 million Hero coins. So, 15 million hero coins could be considered pricey.

However, for Mr.White, the ‘Thundersoul cage’ was an invaluable item he must get at any cost.

‘I don’t have any use for this artifact; however, it looks like someone will go to any lengths for it?’

Leo didn’t have any plans to bid for the ‘Thundersoul cage’; however, he was curious about Mr.White because he didn’t know about such a powerful existence until he checked with the system.

Also, he felt Mr.White was spending a little bit too much for the ‘Thundersoul cage’.

‘Let’s test the waters then.’

With that thought in his head, Leo raised the bid, “16 million Hero coins.”

“Here, he goes again.”

Everyone except for Mr.White looked at Leo with exciting looks.

“20 million Hero coins.”

In the next second, Mr.White gritted his teeth as he raised the bid by million Hero coins.

“What? Why is Mr.White so interested in that item?”

Everyone was curious why Mr.White was so adamant about getting that item.

‘Excellent. Leo…you are my lucky charm.’

However, someone knew why Mr.White was adamant about getting the ‘Thundersoul cage’, and it was none other than Oliver.

He also knew that no one else would dare to bid against Mr.White. That’s why he put the starting price of ‘Thundersoul cage’ at 10 million Hero coins, not to incur any losses.

However, who would have thought that the price got raised by another five million coins because of Leo.

‘Leo, come on. Bid for the item. Mr.White will increase the price for sure.’

At the same time, he was hoping Leo would increase the ‘Thundersoul cage’ price.

However, too bad for Oliver, Leo got the answer to his question. So, he didn’t bother to bid for the item.

“Thundersoul cage…going for 20 million coins. Once…twice…thrice…Sold.”

Soon, the beautiful auctioneer ended the deal for the ‘Thundersoul cage’ at 20 million coins.

“The final item of today’s premium auction is…. ‘Fragment of the God Stone’.”
