Talent Swallowing Hero

“Even if he doesn’t agree to meet me, try your best in persuading him.”

Ryan was serious about meeting the Talent Swallowing Hero.

“Sure…sure.”

Leo nodded and thought, ‘It looks like I have to wear the mask and meet this litlte Rebel.’

He knows how adamant Ryan could become when he sets his focus on something. So, he decided to meet him once in his ‘Talent Swallowing Hero’ form and appease him.

“I know Brother Toby will do everything I ask.”

Ryan became excited and suddenly thought about something and asked, “What should I call you, brother? Brother Toby or Brother Leo?”

“The name ‘Leo’ was given to me by our parents. So, I am planning to use this name till the end.”

Leo didn’t have to think much about it as he said with a slight smile why he chose to use the name ‘Leo’.

“Okay, Brother Leo.”

Both Ryan and Julia nodded and asked him, “Brother, why don’t you tell us about your past? We know nothing but we know you must have suffered a lot.”

“Let’s not talk about the past.”_.

However, Leo didn’t want them to know about his past. So, he diverted the topic and asked Julia, “Why don’t you call her inside. I have something to ask her.”

Pointing at the member of the squad Julia recently joined, Leo asked, and soon, that squad member walked in.

“You want to talk to her?”

ɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ Since Julia had a threat from the city leader and the other forces in Phirie city, the captain of the Graceful Swans mercenary squad assigned a rank 9 hero to protect her.

Julia was surprised as she didn’t understand why Leo wanted to talk to her; however, she called her bodyguard inside.

“I want to meet your captain. Can you ask her to come here?”

Leo didn’t waste time looking at the masked woman as he directly asked her.

‘…’

Ryan and Julia were surprised, whereas the masked woman raised her brows when she heard Leo’s words and tried to say something.

“Captain is busy….”

“Tell her Ashley’s fiance wants a meeting with her. She will come here no matter how busy she is.”

Before the squad member finished her words, Leo interrupted her and said her captain would come here despite being busy.

‘Huh?’

The masked woman frowned; however, she looked at Julia for a moment and thought about her captain’s orders, ‘You must treat her with respect just like how you treat me. Do you understand?’

At that time, the masked woman didn’t know why her captain cared so much about a rank 7 healing hero. However, she felt that Leo’s words just now made her guess it was something to do with this Ashely’s fiance.

‘Who is this Ashley? Why would my captain rush here if she mentioned those words?’

Even though she didn’t know who Ashley was, she wanted to contact her captain.

Soon, she came out of Ryan’s house and contacted her captain using a phone.

‘Fiance?’

On the other hand, Ryan and Julia looked at their brother with surprise and hurriedly asked Leo with curious looks, “Brother, who is Ashley? Is he our Sister-in-law?”

“You could say that.”

Leo replied with a slight smile; however, he didn’t say anything more and acted all-mysterious.

“Leave about me. Are you two getting married?”

Leo once again diverted the topic about him to them and asked about their marriage.

“Since Brother Leo is here, we are ready to get married anytime.”

Unlike Leo, Ryan didn’t dodge the question as he directly replied and asked Julia, “What about you?”

“I-I….”

However, Julia didn’t answer Ryan; instead, she looked at Leo and hesitated for a moment before asking with a sad but hopeful tone, “Brother Leo, do you know the whereabouts of my brother? He went missing around the same time as you.”

“Of course, I know his whereabouts.”

When he thought about revealing his identity, Leo knew Julia would ask about his best friend Joel, who suffered just because he was with him at that time.

So, he had already thought of an answer to her question.

“What? Really? Where is he now?”

Julia became agitated and hurriedly asked Leo with an excited look on her face covered with tears.

“He is working for the Talent Swallowing Hero just like me and currently, he is away on a mission.”

Leo replied, “If everything goes well, he will be back in a month or two. So, don’t worry and focus on becoming a rank 9 hero before he comes back. It will be a pleasant surprise for him.”

“Two months?”

Julia was already happy to know that her brother was alive and she would meet him in a month, which doubled her happiness.

“I will give him a pleasant surprise when he comes back to my strength.”

Julia was a simple girl who wanted to surprise her brother with her level 9 talent when he returned.

Therefore, Julia is determined to increase her talent even more after learning about her brother.

She had waited for around 10 years and felt waiting another two months was okay.

“Why don’t we get married after my brother returns?”

Soon, Julia turned to Ryan and answered his question from before.

“Sure.” Ryan nodded as he was fine with whatever Julia said.

‘I got myself two months of time. I need to find him in these two months.’

Even though Leo had a smile on his face, he was clenching his fists in anger, ‘Even though I killed that b*stard, it is still not enough to soothe my anger. The only way to calm mysel is by killing that b*stard’s grandfather. I need to pay a visit to the Everlasting city after taking care of the things with the ‘Order of the Healing Angels’.’

‘Ding,

The system is issued a new mission. Please check it.

‘Huh? A new mission?’

Leo raised his eyebrows and thought to check it; however, before he could check, the captain of the ‘Graceful Swans’ mercenary squad entered Ryan’s house.

“Sir Leo, we met again.”

With a beautiful smile on her face, Valerie greeted Leo with a respectful bow.
