Talent Swallowing Hero

Chapter 43 White Chandler



‘Screech’

A few kilometers away from Phirie city, Kira dropped Leo and Julia before going into the Beast storage device to rest.

Since Leo asked Julia to hide about rank 8 mutated beast, they could only walk back to the city from there.

“Let’s submit the ‘Clear Iron ore caves’ mission in the mission hall.”

While walking back to the city, Leo spoke to Julia as he continued, “As for the ‘Greedy bandits mission’, let’s say there were no mountain bandits or whatsoever on the Mountain bandits.”

Since someone from the mission hall was colluding with the Mountain fiend king in creating that mission, Leo decided to feign ignorance regarding that mission.

‘It is most likely the city leader who was making the deal with the Mountain fiend king in exchange for the Hero coins.’

Even though the mountain fiend king could not answer who it was, Leo could guess the mastermind behind the mission.

Because other than the city leader, no one else would dare to do such a thing.

So, if he found out that he and Julia completed that mission, he would come after them. ‘Even if it were not for revenge, he would at least come after the 29 million hero coins. So, it is better to feign ignorance regarding the mission.’

If Leo didn’t find such a huge number of hero coins, he would have been unable to discover why the city leader would conspire with the mountain fiend king.

“Sure, Brother Leo.”

Even though Julia didn’t think someone was colluding with the Mountain fiend king, she knew they would be in trouble if they were informed about their mission accomplishment.

Because it was basic knowledge that the mountain bandits accumulated wealth from their looting and the mission hall might ask them to record what they got from the Bandit mountain.-.

Even if they record the incorrect number, they will become the target among the other heroes who would not hesitate to kill and steal it.

‘Swoosh’

‘Swoosh’

‘Huh?’

After a few minutes of walking, Leo felt someone was running past them towards the city at an incredible speed, making him raise his brows.

‘Black suits? Rank 9 heroes?’

Even though they were incredibly fast, Leo was able to see them clearly as he unconsciously clenched his fists.

‘What are they doing here?’

Even though Leo didn’t recognize their faces, he instantly guessed who they were from their outfit.

However, he was surprised to see them entering Phirie city.

‘Don’t tell me they already have a branch in Phirie city? Looks like I need to be extra careful when I do things in the city from now on.’

Leo silently noted in his head as he watched those two rank 9 heroes enter the city.

‘Wait a second. If they already established a branch in this city, then the city leader….’

Leo was shocked when he thought about something.

‘A ‘God ruins’ appeared.’

‘Three fragments of God stones.’

‘Even the manticores are trying to establish a new territory when their king is not doing well.’

‘Most importantly, the appearance of these people. There is definitely something wrong with Phirie city.’

‘What’s happening inside Phirie actually? I just want to find out the truth behind my adoptive parents’ death and seek revenge on their behalf. But, all of a sudden, I feel this city is hiding more things than what it looks on the surface.’

When he recalled all the events after he came to Phirie city, Leo felt something was going on inside or around Phirie city.

“Brother Leo, did something happen?”

Seeing Leo lost in his thoughts, Julia asked him; however, Leo shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”

“Let’s collect the Hero coins from the Misison hall and rest until Premium auction starts.”

They didn’t encounter any problems as they entered the city to finish the things with the mission hall.

….

Inside a luxurious building in the core section of the city,

“Master, there are no traces of the Hero coins or the mountain fiend king on the Bandit mountain.”

The two rank 9 heroes in black suits were kneeling in front of an old man with a face full of wrinkles.

Unlike the two rank 9 heroes, the old man was wearing a white suit with a white hand on his head and a wooden stick in his hand.

“What did you say?”

Hearing their words, the old man seethed with rage as he asked them.

“Master, there is no….”

“Stop talking if you are going to repeat the same sentence.”

Before they could reply, the old man interrupted them before asking, “I want to know what happened.”

“Even though we didn’t find the trace of the mountain bandits or the mountain fiends, we found the signs of fighting at the mountain base and on the mountain top.”

Ren nodded his head as he replied to the old man in white.

“Signs of fighting? Are you telling me someone killed them all, disappeared their bodies and took all my money?”

The old man became even more furious with that conclusion.

“Damn it…I have been waiting for tomorrow’s premium auction for a few years and just when I thought I could finally get my hands on some good items, someone dared to steal my money?”

The old man shook in rage as he looked at the two rank 9 heroes and asked, “You know what you have to do now, right?”

“Yes, master. We have to find those thieves at any cost.”

“If we don’t find those thieves, you will kill us.”

Ren and Ken nodded their heads while trying to hide to keep a calm look on their faces.

“Start investigating from the mission hall.”

The old man barely suppressed his anger as he coldly warned, “Finding the lost treasure in a day is impossible. So, I will give you three days before the ‘God ruins’ opens.”

“Thank you, master.”

“We will definitely find those thieves and retrieve all the hero coins he stole.”

The rank 9 heroes hurriedly thanked the old man before leaving the building.

‘Damn it…now, I will not have enough funds to buy the good things.’

The old man cursed his luck as he walked out of the room where a middle-aged man was waiting for him.

“Mr. White, this is the list of the items for tomorrow’s premium auction.”

Seeing that the old man had walked out of the room, the middle-aged man hurriedly stood up and gave him a tablet.

“Thank you, Family head Oliver.”

The old man nodded his head as he thanked the middle-aged man named Oliver, the family head of the Icefeather family.

As for the old man, his name was White Chandler, known for his various businesses in Phirie city and the second richest person after the city leader.

There were even rumours in the upper circle of the city that he was richer than the city leader.

So, the three powerful families were always trying to be in the good books of White Chandler.

Also, it was the reason why Oliver gave the list of items for tomorrow’s premium auction to White.

“I hope, Mr. White, looks after my Icefeather family when we need some help.”

Oliver Icefeather didn’t hide his intentions as he politely asked what he wanted from the old man.

“Of course. You don’t have to mention it.”

White nodded his head with a slight smile as he checked the list of the items on the screen.

“Are you auctioning off these items tomorrow ?”

Suddenly, the old man’s entire body shook as he saw the top three items on the list.
