Talent Swallowing System

"Say it. Whether it is valuable or not, I will confirm it."

Leo asked her to say it first.

'Our city exploration team found an otherworldly portal in the 'Solitary forest' a few months ago.'

Zola hesitated a little before walking closer to Leo and whispered in his ears.

'An otherworldly portal? Aren't they all closed?'

The changes in this world happen because of the sudden appearance of the portals.

All types of monsters came out of these portals.

However, the 'Gods' have closed all the portals before leaving this world.

'They should be closed; however, the city exploration team was lucky enough to find it.'

Zola revealed a slight smile as she continued, 'So, for the past few months, we are analysing things like what monsters come out of it and how powerful they are.'

'We are almost on the verge of completing the external analysis and soon, we will be sending the exploration teams into the portal.'

'Since you are powerful, I can recommend my father to let you enter it. From our initial analysis, we are sure that there mightbe a lot of resources on the other side of the portal.'

Zola had another thought when she revealed the information about the portal.

She wanted to tempt Leo into entering the portal.

"You promised it. You should not go back on your promise."

Leo nodded his head and asked her to keep her promise.

"Of course. I will keep my promise."

Zola was happy as she nodded her head while silently thinking, 'B*stard, I will let you know the consequences of offending me.'

It will take another couple of years to finish the external analysis of the portal. Their research on the portal until now concluded that it was even dangerous for rank 9 heroes, not to mention a rank 6 hero.

'It looks like I do't have to hunt him down.'

Since Leo seemed like he wanted to enter the portal, she could ask his father to hide a few things about the dangers of the otherworld portal and send Leo into it.

"So, is it valuable enough to keep my life?"

Zola asked with a slight smile because she knew Leo was already tempted.

"It is much more valuable than your life. So, I will let you live."

Leo nodded his head while thinking, 'She might be sending into the portal already. No wonder the quote 'The fruit doesn't fall far from the tree' is right.'

Zola was just like her father, Theodore, cunning and clever. They would not hesitate to kill for anything they want or anyone who offends them.

"Zander, transfer the treasure points."

Next, she asked Zander to transfer the points, who transferred while shooting lasers at Leo, holding his broken jaw.

<You have received 900000 treasure points>

<Your total balance is 2560000 treasure points>

After receiving the treasure points from Zander, Leo's total treasure points have crossed a whopping 2.5 million.

'I think it is enough to sweep the [Gold] section items from the [Treasure room].'

Leo could not help but be excited because he looked forward to seeing what items were stored in the [Gold] section.

"Since we finished our deal, why don't you go and kill them?"

Zola asked Leo with a slight smile.

"Sure."

Currently, Ryan and Julia are in the Icefeather family's group.

So, Leo nodded as he walked toward them with a stern look.

"Leo, what are you doing? Didn't I hire you already?"

Amy frowned as she shouted at Leo.

"Yes, you hired me to protect you and your group; however, Julia and Ryan don't belong to your group."

Leo coldly replied as he didn't stop in his steps.

"Everyone, protect them."

Seeing that Leo didn't intend to stop, Amy could only order her group members to protect Julia and Ryan.

"Are you willing to die for some unknown people?"

Leo could see the hesitation in the faces of Amy's group.

Since Amy was their young miss, the family head would kill them if something happened to her. So, they were willing to risk their lives to protect her.

However, why would they risk their lives for Julia and Ryan, who were wanted dead by the daughter of the city leader?

"Young miss, are you willing to sacrifice the lives of everyone just for them?"

They all knew what Leo was capable of. So, one of the subordinates asked Amy whether she wanted everyone dead?

'...'

Amy fell into a dilemma because Leo could kill their entire group; however, she didn't want to give up on Julia either.

"Sister Amy, there is no need for anyone to die today."

As Amy was lost in her dilemma, Julia walked out of the group along with Ryan.

Julia was already grateful to Amy, and she didn't want any more people to die because of her.

"Brother Leo, I already know I will die after leaving the [Treasure land]. So, I will not mind dying in your hands."

Even though Julia could not believe that Leo was the type to kill just because of treasures or money, she was not sad to die in Leo's hands.

'Since it was Brother Leo who saved me, I don't mind dying in his head.'

This was what Julia thought in her head when she said those words.

"However, can you please let Ryan live? He still has to look after Emily and Evan."

Julia requested with misty eyes.

'Sigh'

Leo sighed and turned to look at Zola.

"I won't take back a dog that I abandoned once. It should be killed to let the other dogs know what happens when they leave my side."

Zola shook her head, rejecting Julia's request.

"Sorry, I can't fulfil your request."

Leo shook his head as he walked closer to Julia and whispered, 'Do you trust me?'

At the same time, he silently passed an elite talent upgrading stone to her.

'Hm'

Julia was surprised for a moment as she nodded her head.

'As soon as you go out of the [Treasure land], announce that you are a rank 7 healing hero. Don't forget it.'

After finishing his words, Leo lightly tapped a pressure point on her neck, making Julia fall asleep.

Next, he touched her a few more pressure points on her back and soon, she turned into light dots before disappearing into nothing.

"You"

Ryan was angry and was about to hit Leo; however, Leo didn't waste any time giving Ryan a painless death.

'With this, no one will use Julia or Ryan to threaten me.'

Even though Leo didn't like killing Julia and Ryan, he was relieved that his enemies would not go after Julia anymore.

Moreover, she would become a rank 7 healing hero with the help of the elite class talent upgrade stone, and she also has the rank 8 mutated beast.

'I hope the situation does not go to the point where Vladimir has to reveal himself.'

Leo had already run all simulations of the events that might appear after Julia went out of the [Treasure land].

"Are you happy now?"

After killing them, Leo turned and looked at Zola.

"Good."

Zola nodded her head and didn't think much about it.

'Hey old man, come out and announce the winner of this round.'

Since Leo was the only one who had the treasure points among the remaining participants, he asked the old remnant spirit to conclude the round.

<What if I don't?>

Without any delay, Leo received a reply from the old man.

'So, you are rejecting the request of a 'VIP' participant?'

<Coming>

The old remnant spirit appeared on the mountain top in the next second.

After learning that there was no actual death, Leo concluded that the creator was not some cold-blooded hero who liked killing, or he might have changed after going through a lot of killings.

So, Leo was sure that the creator added a lot of restrictions for this remnant spirit from doing whatever it wanted.

That's how Leo could have his way with the old remnant spirit.

<Even though you didn't kill each other, you don't have any treasure points left. So, I can only send you out of my [Treasure land]>

'Snap'

With a snap, except for Leo, everyone turned into light dots and disappeared just like Julia and other dead participants.

<Go and shop in the [Gold] section. I will take you to the last round after you finish your shopping>

'Sure'

Leo nodded his head and disappeared from his place.
