Chapter 53: Supreme Market

"Mr.White, we are here."

Soon, Oliver guided Leo into a luxurious room on the top floor of the building.

"Take a seat, young hero."

Mr.White maintained a pleasant smile on his wrinkled face as he asked Leo to sit down.

"Sure."

Leo was calm as he sat and replied, "I don't drink coffee. So, let's come to the main business directly."

"Young Hero Leo is straightforward. I like it."

The old man nodded and glanced at Oliver, who nodded and left the room after informing Leo.

"Also, there is no need to call me 'Young Hero' every time you call me. You can just call me Leo."

At the same time, Leo asked Mr.White to call him Leo.

"As you wish, Leo."

With a light chuckle, the old man nodded his head.

"Just like you, I don't like beating around the bush. So, I will come to the main point of why I called you here."

Mr.White didn't waste any time as he asked, "Have you ever heard of 'Supreme Market'?"

'Supreme Market?'

Leo revealed a surprised look on his face.

"Looks like you have heard about it. Good, it saves me the trouble of explaining it."

Mr.White revealed a slight smile as he asked, "Do you want access to the Supreme Market of our Phirie city?"

Even though its name sounds grandeur, Supreme Market was just a Black Market.

Many cities have these so-called 'Supreme Markets', aka Black markets, and only a few people have access to them.

Even if one has the money, it might not guarantee access to these markets because only those with the potential to become rank 9 heroes would be given access.

You buy and sell many things in these markets, including enslaved monsters, beasts, and even humans.

Also, one can put bounties on their enemies, and anyone who likes the reward would go after the target.

The identities of both those who put the bounty and who completed the mission would be hidden during the whole process because everyone wears unique masks and uses code names.

'Looks like my guess about him is true.'

Finally, Leo confirmed that Mr.White was the leader of the 'Black suits' in Phirie city.

Because these Supreme Markets were operated by none other than 'Black suits' and only the leaders could give access to the new members.

"What do you want?"

Of course, Leo knew that Mr.White was not generous enough to give access to him without asking for anything in return.

"You are sharp."

Mr.White praised Leo with a satisfied smile and asked, "I guess you will be entering the [God ruins], right?"

"Yes."

"All you have to do is find at least one 'Fragment of God stone' and bring it to me."

Mr.White directly asked what he wanted as he continued, "Of course, I will let you buy the things worth 30 million Hero coins in the Supreme Market. What do you say?"

Almost all of the Fragments of the God stones in history were found in the [God ruins]. So, Leo, who had two top-notch talents, had a higher chance of getting them.

Since Mr. White owns the Supreme Market, the buyer and seller would pay him a commission of some percent.

So, it was not a problem for him to allow Leo to buy 30 million Hero coins worth of items in the Supreme Market.

Of course, Mr.White was betting everything on Leo; instead, he had a whole group of young heroes from Phirie city entering the [God ruins].

Leo didn't agree to Mr. White's condition; instead, he asked, "But, what if I don't get my hands on any 'Fragment of the God stone'?"

"You will still get the access; however, to get the 30 million hero coins, you have to bring me the 'Fragment of the God stone'."

"It's not a bad deal, right?"

Mr.White asked with a slight smile as he knew no one who knew about 'Supreme Market' would refuse the deal.

"Yes."

As Mr.White expected, Leo agreed to the deal and left the room.

'So what if you have the backing of a city leader? You are just another one who follows orders to get benefits.'

Even though he cursed Leo in the auction house for making him spend more on 'Thundersoul cage', he didn't hate Leo.

Instead, he thought about something else and wanted to use him to get what he wanted from [God ruins].

'He will be among the top ten young heroes entering the [God ruins]. I hope you find at least one 'Fragment of the God stone'.'

Seeing the leaving silhouette of Leo, Mr.White silently thought to himself.

'I wonder whether those b*stards found the thieves that stole my money.'

At the same time, he thought about Ren and Ken, searching for the thieves who stole the Hero coins from the 'Bandit mountain'.

'Also, the manticores must have settled in the Solitary forest by now, but why didn't they send any message?'

While enjoying his coffee, Mr.White started thinking about other things he was supposed to do in the Phirie city.

.....

In the city leader's mansion,

"My dear daughter, come and see what I bought for you?"

With a happy smile, Theodore called his daughter.

"What is it, father?"

Soon, an 18-year-old beautiful girl rushed out of her room with an exciting look.

"A fruit?"

However, when she saw a silver-coloured fruit in Theodore's hands, her excitement vanished.

From a young age, she had eaten a lot of fruits. So, fruits didn't excite her anymore.

"Little girl, just eat and see the benefits of this fruit for yourself."

Theodore didn't explain the benefits and asked Zola to eat it.

"Okay."

Looking at the excited look on her father's face, Zola guessed the fruit might be valuable because her father had that look whenever he gave some priceless treasure to her.

'Kacha'

'Sweet'

So, Zola took a bite and surprisedly exclaimed with a unique sweetness.

Within no time, she finished the fruit, and the moment she finished it, her fists turned into metallic fists.

"Father, my talent…it increased to level 6. I became a rank 6 Hero."

Soon, she noticed that change in her talent and excitedly danced.

"Congratulations, my dear daughter."

Theodore also started dancing as he congratulated her.

"Father, what about me? You promised me 'Thundersoul cage'?"

However, Zander was not happy as he asked his father about his promised item.

"Mr.White was adamant about getting it. So, I didn't bid against him."

Theodore shook his head and said, "Why don't you take the 'Radiant armour'. It is also the same grade."

"Thank you, Father."

Soon, Zander thanked his father and started dancing with his little sister.

Zander knew that his father would not bid against Mr.White. So, he changed his liking from 'Thundersoul cage' to 'Radiant armour' because they were both Quasi-supreme grade items.

If someone saw the scene where the city leader was dancing with his children, they would feel they were dreaming.
