Talent Swallowing System

"Do you think this can scare me…aargh."

'Aargh'

The groans of the leader of the group became louder and louder.

The two subordinates who were watching their strong leader groan in pain could not help but shudder.

'If the leader is barely able to endure it, I don't think we can handle it.'

The two men silently thought to themselves and looked at each other and decided to commit suicide; instead of getting tortured by the Talent Swallowing Hero.

Earlier, they thought their leader would come up with some deal with the Talent Swallowing Hero; however, they didn't expect their leader to be so loyal to the organization that he didn't even bother to make a deal with the Talent Swallowing Hero.

Even though they were not loyal to their secret organization, the two men thought to not reveal any information and quietly commit suicide to escape the torture.

"If you are thinking of committing suicide, why don't you just join me?"

Leo saw the two men summon a small dagger from their storage rings to kill themselves; however, he didn't move personally to stop them.

Instead, he offered a deal to them, which made the two men pause their actions.

"What did you say?"

"What do you mean by joining you? Are you asking us to become your followers?"

The two men felt a little hopeful as they asked Leo about his deal to get confirmation.

"You heard it right! I know you must have your reasons to join the secret organization. As long as you answer all my questions, I will take you in as my subordinates."

Leo didn't give them any time to think as he continued, "Since I became a supreme-ranked hero, I want to create my own secret organization. Why don't you become the first batch of my secret organization?"

"Really?"

"We will definitely follow you even in our deaths, master."

The two men no longer hesitated and hurriedly agreed to it.

'I got them.'

Leo silently thought in his head with a cold smile and asked, "Before that, why don't you tell me everything you know about the secret organization?"

"Of course."

One of the two men nodded and hurriedly explained, "We belong to the League of the Beast Masters and it only recruits those who have the talents like [Beast Tamer], [Beast Control], [Beast Hynoptism], [Beast Nurture] and so on."

"Oh."

Leo was surprised a bit and thought, 'It looks like this secret organization is not as bad as I thought it is.'

Since the secret organization only recruits those with a particular talent, Leo didn't think they would be kidnapping the random orphan and children like the 'Order of the Black Tower'.

However, in the next second, he heard something that made Leo change his opinion on the 'League of the Beast Masters.'

"We have never seen the leader of our secret organization but we know he has a talent that could mutate and evolve our beasts. Even though it was very evil and required the blood and the organs of the humans to evolve and mutate the beasts."

"I think the Talent Swallowing Hero can swallow that talent as it would be quite useful for you to make all your tamed beasts a lot powerful."

'I thought they were good and in a few moments, they already proved me wrong.'

Finally, he understood why the 'League of the Beast Masters' became a secret organization; instead of a good organization like the 'Order of the Healing Angels'.

'Nevertheless, the talent of their leader seems pretty interesting.'

Leo revealed an evil smile as he shook his head and continued to ask one question after another.

Of course, Leo didn't believe the talent was so evil; instead, the usage of the talent was.

For example, his [Talent Swallowing Ability] was considered an evil talent; however, Leo knew for himself that it was not.

Moreover, it helped him in surviving the difficult situations that he thought he could survive.

'If I get the chance, I should check it out and see whether I can use it.'

Since he had a lot of beasts under his care, Leo felt he could use that talent to mutate and evolve his beasts.

'If it really requires the blood and organs to evolve and mutate them, I will just replace them with the natives of other worlds.'

Since Leo had so many world tickets, he felt it was not a big issue for him.

Hence, he thought of keeping an eye on that talent.

"So, do you know about the other secret organizations?"

After learning a few more minor things about the 'League of the Beast Masters', Leo asked about the other secret organizations.

"This…we don't know."

Even though the two men were supreme-ranked heroes, their level was not high in their organizations, so they don't know anything about the other organizations.

"However, we only know there were five secret organizations, including ours."

"Huh? There are five secret organizations?"

Leo was not surprised as he guessed there would be less than ten secret organisations in this world.

However, these two men didn't know the names of those organizations, making Leo feel they were no longer useful to him.

'I think I can send them on their way to hell now.'

Leo didn't want the followers who would easily betray their own organization. Therefore, he decided to kill them when he felt they were no longer useful to him.

"If the Talent Swallowing Hero wants, we can collect the information about them from their members who were currently inside the [Treasure Land]."

Just when Leo thought to kill them, he heard something that made him stop his line of thoughts.

"They are currently inside the [Treasure Land]?"

Leo asked them with a frown.

"Yes, even though most of them were dead, the leaders of their squads along with a few squad members were still alive."

Soon, the two men explained about how they were stationed at the Supreme Mountain City to capture the Talent Swallowing Hero and how they mistook the [Treasure Land] for a natural treasure and rushed into the [Treasure Land]…everything.

"Oh. So, you were supposed to kill me?"

Leo chuckled when he learned about the alliance of the five secret organizations.

"Thank you for your valuable information. Now, you can go and rest for eternity."

'Slash'

As soon as he finished his words, Leo painlessly killed them in a single strike.

"Since you have provided me with some valuable information, I will let you go painlessly."

After killing them, Leo used the special effect of the 'Fragments of the God Stones' and reset the cooldown for his [Talent Swallowing Ability].

'Ding,

The host awakened a talent [Beast Tamer].

'Ding,

The host awakened a talent [Beast Tamer].

'I have four [Beast Tamer], I wonder whether I can merge all four of them with the [Unique Beast Tamer] talent?'

Leo was curious and thought, 'I will find out whether I can do that or not after completing the system upgrade.'

In total, he used the special effects for three Fragments of the God Stones and without wasting any more time, he used those three Fragments of the God Stones to upgrade the system.

'System, I will use three Fragments of the God Stones to instantly speed up the three weeks of upgrade time for the system.'

'Ding,

Congratulations to the system for successfully upgrading the system.
