After entering his manor, Leo didnât waste his time and put on his blood-coloured mask before entering the Secret Dimensional Space.
âTarget: City Leaderâs mansion.â
Since he still have to wait for the store owner to deliver the slaves, Leo decided to complete the second reason why he entered Starlight City.
And it was none other than taking control of Starlight City.
Thatâs right!
He was planning to take control of Starlight City because it was a mission that the otherworldly beings didnât complete.
They created the cities with protective walls; however, they had to leave because of the ancient voice leaving those cities without any city leaders.
Initially, the residents of the cities elected a wise and strong leader; however, in a world with talents, and resources in the wilderness, the such ruling didnât last for much longer.
After a few years of fighting for power, among the thousands of humans that risked their lives in the wilderness, a few of them successfully became Supreme-ranked heroes and took full control of the city.
Moreover, a supreme-ranked hero could unlock the supreme-ranked formation in the city to become even more strong inside the city.
From that point of time, only supreme-ranked heroes started becoming city leaders.
âSince they have the supreme-ranked formation, even if a rank 2 or 3 supreme-ranked heroes could not kill them; however, as long as I neutralize him before he could activate that supreme-ranked formation, it would be a piece of cake to have a good discussion with him.â
Leo didnât have any plans to kill the current city leader because he was not as bad as the other city leaders he had seen.
Even though he knew about the [Supreme Market], the city leader didnât have enough power to go against the âOrder of the Black Towerâ. So, he could only look into his eyes and let them operate in the shadows.
However, when it comes to the infrastructure and the protection of the city wall, he upgrades them every year or twice.
âThe city leaders that care for their citizens are very rare in this age and world. So, it is better to give him some support and he will create a Safe City for both awakened and unawakened.â
Among all the city leaders he had seen until now, Starlight Cityâs leader was the only one that left a good impression after Maisy, the leader of the âOrder of the Healing Angelsâ.
Therefore, Leo decided to bring the city leader under his wing.
Ïêªná¦a (nꪫꪣ)ê«âꪶâ âSwooshâ
Since Leo had already visited the city leaderâs house once in the past, he didnât have any problems entering.
âThere he is.â
Soon, he found a middle-aged man looking at the empty space as though he was thinking about something.
âCity leader, what are you thinking about?â
Leo walked out of the Secret Dimensional Space and placed his hand on the city leaderâs head before asking in a calm tone.
âWho are you?â
The city leader was about to turn his head; however, Leo stopped him by saying, âIf you donât want your head blown into pieces, listen to me patiently.â
âTalent Swallowing Hero?â
From the corner of his eye, the city leader saw the red-coloured mask and instantly recognized the person who dared to place their hand on his head.
âYes. I am Talent Swallowing Hero.â
Leo nodded and said, âAre you going to listen to what I have to say?â
âI know you are not the type to harm innocent people.â
On the other hand, after learning it was Talent Swallowing Hero, the city leader became a little relaxed and said, âOf course, I will listen to what you have to say.â
âThen you really donât know me.â
To the city leaderâs first sentence, Leo shook his head and removed his hand from the city leaderâs head.
Even though some people believed that the Talent Swallowing Hero would only go after the Evil Family and would not kill innocent people; however, Leo doesnât agree with it.
Why Leo removed his hand from the city leaderâs head because he knew the city leader didnât have any intention of fighting him.
âHe is another one of those ignorant people that would make someone a hero overnight for a single good deed.â
Leo shook his head; however, he didnât come here to discuss that he was not as righteous as they think.
Instead, he directly came to the point, âDo you want to create a safe city for your citizens?â
âMy city is much saferâ¦â
âStop fooling yourself when your cityâs orphans were being converted into slaves and sold away.â
Before the city leader could finish his words, Leo interrupted his words with a scoff.
ââ¦â
Hearing Leoâs words, Wilson didnât become furious or retorted; instead, he remained silent because what Leo said was true.
âWhat can I do about it? I am not powerful enough to protect everyone.â
Wilson bitterly sighed as he continued, âI know thatâs not an excuse. If you are here to punish me for abandoning those orphans to the evil hands, I am happy to die in your hands.â
âHuh?â
However, Leo was surprised to hear Wilsonâs words as he didnât expect a city leader to say such words.
âFrom the looks of it, you must have already become a supreme-ranked hero. If you promise me that you will become the next city leader of this city, I will die without any regrets.â
As for Wilson, he continued to say, âIf it is you, you might have a chance of winning against the âOrder of the Black Towerâ.â
âStop with that cr*p. You want to escape after making the lives of thousands of orphans miserable?â
Leo slapped Wilsonâs head as he continued, âWhat if I back you? Will you go against the âOrder of the Black Towerâ?â
Leo was not surprised that Wilson knew about the âOrder of the Black Towerâ as he asked him whether he was willing to fight the âOrder of the Black Towerâ if he supported him.
âWhat? Really? Are you going to support me?â
Wilson had mixed emotions as he didnât wait for Leoâs reply and said in a serious tone, âIf Talent Swallowing Hero really supports me, I will destroy the [Supreme Marker] in my city right away.â
âDing,
Congratulations to the host for gaining a new subsidiary city.
