Talent Swallowing Hero

“B-but why?”

Liam tried to stop the blood rushing out of the cut on his neck and asked Leo with a shocked look.

“Because I am famous for breaking the promises I made.”

Leo replied to Liam with a scoff and said, “Also, don’t worry. Even though I look cold, I am not the type to break up families. Your little brother Seth will also join you in hell.”

“There is no need to thank me for that. I love family reunions.”

From Dominic, Leo already knew Seth Ambermane had gone to Starlight City, and he had already asked someone in Starlight city to take care of Seth silently.

‘What?’

Liam was only an inch away from death and could not bear Leo acting like he did some kind of favour by killing his entire family.

He had never expected that the two servants’ greed for a few bucks had cost the lives of the entire Ambermane family.

‘Swoosh’

“Boss, you have already taken care of the family head?”

As Liam was having a little bit of consciousness, he saw Dominic and others appear in the dining hall and call Leo ‘Boss’.

‘So, they were all in this together.’

In the last moments of his life, he discovered another shocking thing as he closed his eyes.

“Yes.”

Leo didn’t bother to look at Liam because he had already received confirmation of his death from the system notification._-.

“I guessed right. The Ambermane family is not alone. The Cloudriver family and even the city leader are behind the death of my adoptive parents.”

Even though Leo looked calm on the surface, he was furious and wanted to kill the Cloudriver family and the city leader.

However, he controlled his anger and wanted to find the truth before killing them.

Moreover, killing the city leader inside the city was impossible because of the formation. Therefore, Leo was not in a hurry to kill the city leader Theodore.

‘Wait a second.’

Suddenly, Leo thought of something, ‘The city leader is planning an expedition. It looks like I can test my luck then.’

“Boss, what is your next step? Since the Icefeather family has nothing to do with that event from the past, shall I inform the ‘Silent Beast’ mercenary squad to leave the Icefeather family?”

Dominic asked about Leo’s next move.

“No. Let them stay with the family. Judging from the family head’s character, I don’t think he is innocent and had nothing to do with the death of my adoptive parents.”

Leo shook his head and continued, “As for you, you should return to our hideout for a while.”

The fact that everyone from the Ambermane family was killed would be known to everyone tomorrow, and if Dominic and others were still alive, they would be suspected without a doubt.

Therefore, Leo asked them to leave the city and hide until he settled everything in Phirie city.

“Yes. Boss.”

Dominic accepted the order and replied, “We will take care of the bodies before leaving the city.”

“It will take a lot of time for you to make those bodies disappear. Let me take care of them.”

Leo shook his head and ordered them, “Pile all the bodies in one place and leave the city.”

“Boss, if you burn them, there will be ashes. Even though it will take some time for us, we can….”

“Don’t worry, I am not planning to burn those bodies; instead….”

‘Roar’

Leo didn’t finish his words; instead, he showed the devil’s mouth on his palm, surprising Dominic and others.

“Boss, what is that?”

“It’s my talent.”

With a smile, Leo replied.

“Another talent? Boss, you are a monster.”

Mikhael could not control his awe for his boss and spat those words.

“How dare you call the Boss a monster?”

Rebecca slapped the back of Mikhael’s head and scolded him.

“Guys, let’s hurry up.”

Dominic raised his voice a little and left the building with them.

“Shall I devour him?”

Looking at Liam’s corpse, Leo revealed a slight smile and walked towards it.

‘Wait a second.’

However, his footsteps suddenly stopped as he thought, ‘That’s right! As one of the three powerful families in Phirie city, it must have a lot of hero coins and treasures, right?’

“Vladimir, send your bats and search the treasure room.”

“Yes, Master.”

The shadow vampire hurriedly nodded and followed Leo’s orders.

“Master, one of my bats, found the treasure room.”

“Already?”

“Yes, Master. I have trained my bats in searching for treasure rooms for situations like this.”

Within a minute, Vladimir bragged about his bats to Leo.

“Stay here and look after the corpse. I will go and check out the treasures.”

Leo got used to Vladimir’s bragging about his achievements. So, he left the shadow vampire in charge of the corpse before entering the treasure room.

‘Ding,

Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission ‘Strike before the Enemy’.

‘Ding,

A map to the [God runs] is sent to the host.

The moment he stepped foot in the treasure room, Leo received several system notifications, which surprised him.

‘It looks like he successfully killed Seth in Starlight city.’

After killing Liam, Leo was waiting for the mission accomplishment notifications, and seeing them, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Leo was not looking for the reward; instead, it was an assurance for him that he killed everyone from the Ambermane family.

‘Where is the location of this [God ruins].’

Before checking out the treasure room, Leo opened the scroll that appeared in his hands.

“It is in the [Uncleared Land] around the Starlight city. I can’t leave Phirie City for a few days as it will make me look suspicious. I think I should leave after this Ambermane family’s matter settles down.”

Leo wanted to go to the [God ruins] because it was the fastest way to increase his strength or find more Fragments of the God stones or even a complete God stone.

However, he wanted to observe the aftermath of eliminating the Ambermane family, and at the same time, he didn’t want to look suspicious.

Moreover, the city leader is planning an expedition soon.

Hence, he postponed the matter regarding the [God ruins] and devised a good plan after learning more about the expedition date.

“Now, let’s see how much the Ambermane family had amassed by committing all kinds of dirty jobs for the city leader.”

Inside the treasure room, there was a huge golden-coloured chest.

“Only one box? I thought they would have at least a dozen boxes.”

However, when Leo saw there was only one treasure chest, he was a little disappointed.

‘Anyway, let’s see what’s inside it.’

Nevertheless, Leo opened it and saw it was full of hero coins.

‘Come to daddy.’

Leo absorbed all the hero coins into his storage ring without wasting any time.

‘Ding,

The host gained 30 million hero coins.

’30 million hero coins? As expected for the city leader’s dog.’

Leo could tell why the Ambermane family had so much money, and it was because they followed the city leader’s orders.

‘Huh? What is that?’

After absorbing all the hero coins, Leo saw a small jade box in one corner of the treasure chest.

‘This is…’

Leo curiously opened it and was pleasantly surprised by the item inside the box.
