Talent Swallowing System

"Respected customer, if you like any of these enslaved monsters or mutated beasts, let me know. I can throw in a good discount."

As the old man with a belly guided Leo into the stall, Leo saw the cages of all sizes.

In those cages, enslaved monsters and the mutated beasts with lifeless eyes looked at them as they walked deeper.

The slave seals engraved on them looked similar to the Moonlight unicorn that Leo bought in the premium auction.

"Did you place the same slave seals on the humans too?"

Leo tried his best to suppress his anger and asked the stall owner calmly.

"Of course not. The value of enslaved humans lies in their expressions and emotions. So, the respected customer doesn't need to worry about it."

The stall owner asked Leo not to worry and said, "We are here."

As soon as he said those words, the old man with the belly pulled a cloth covering the cages filled with humans.

There were around 100 cages, and each cage had one enslaved human.

However, compared to the enslaved mutated beasts, these humans could still retain their emotions in their eyes.

Those enslaved humans didn't utter a single word; instead, most of them looked at Leo with hopeful eyes, asking him to free them.

'Damn it.'

Looking at them, Leo clenched his fists because he saw himself in those humans.

'Hm..where are you?'

Leo looked at all the cages as though he was searching for someone among the enslaved humans.

'Sigh…it looks like they are not here.'

After searching all the cages, Leo was disappointed.

"The top-notch beauties that the respected customer is looking for are in this row. Please take a look."

Suddenly, the stall owner pointed at a row of cages filled with young and beautiful women and asked Leo to check them.

'There are more?'

Leo didn't expect the stall owner was hiding more enslaved humans on the side.

'I should let him see all the goods first before showing the goods that he wants.'

This was the business tactic that the stall owner used on Leo.

If Leo liked any of the enslaved humans before he showed the enslaved humans that Leo wanted, the stall owner would be selling more humans.

'I hope he buys at least one or two from the first batch of goods.'

In the eyes of the stall owner, the enslaved humans were nothing but goods, and as long as he sold them, he would earn his commissions from the organization.

"How much should I pay for all of them?"

Leo knew that if he could not control his anger, he would be unable to save anyone.

So, he suppressed his anger and asked about the cost for all of them.

"All these top-notch beauties cost the same price of one hundred thousand hero coins each; however, if you buy them all, I can sell these twelve beauties for one million hero coins."

The old man rubbed his belly and acted generously.

'No wonder the 'Black suits' kept selling the slaves as their main business.'

Leo raised his brows when he heard the prices and said in a serious tone, "I said, 'All of them'. Can't you hear me?"

"What? All of them?"

The stall owner was surprised.

"Respected customer, are you sure you want to buy all of them?"

Nevertheless, he asked Leo to confirm his purchase.

"Looks like you don't want to sell them. I will go to the other city's 'Supreme Market'."

Leo turned around to leave the stall.

"Please forgive me, respected customer. I will sell them all to you."

Seeing that Leo was not joking with him, the stall owner hurriedly apologized to Leo.

"So, quote a price."

Leo didn't bother to turn around and asked the stall owner to quote a price.

"Including these beauties, I have a total of 112 enslaved humans and all of them are less than 20 years old."

"Not a single one of them had awakened the talents. So, the prices are much lower than those that awakened the talents.

"Each one of them cost 80000 hero coins. However, since the respected customer is buying all of them and to apologize for my earlier doubtfulness towards the respected customer, I will reduce the price to 70000 hero coins for each enslaved human including these beauties."

"The total will be 7840000 hero coins. What do you say, respected customer?"

The stall owner didn't quote the price directly, fearing Leo might feel he was extorting him.

So, he explained about the enslaved humans before quoting their prices.

As Mr. White said, the supreme market in Phirie city was still growing, and even the enslaved humans they sold didn't have any talents. So, the prices for them were very low.

'Ting'

Leo didn't bother to negotiate the price and directly transferred ten million hero coins to the stall owner.

"10 million?"

The stall owner was surprised and bowed to Leo, "Thank you, respected customer."

"I want more enslaved humans. Those with no talents only. The extra money is for you to bring them as soon as possible."

Leo replied in a calm tone.

"You want more?"

The stall owner was shocked; however, he was happy and hurriedly nodded his head.

"But why only the talentless slaves? They are only useful for menial labour? Wait a second…are you planning to make them work in the mines?"

"Correct. Now, tell me, how are you going to deliver my goods when we are in the center of the city."

Leo nodded and asked about the delivery.

"It must be the customer's first time buying the slaves. So, let me explain."

The stall owner revealed a slight smile and explained, "The delivery method changes depending on the reason you are planning to buy."

"Since you are planning to use them for mining, if you leave the address of the mine, we will make the delivery within a day."

"As for these top-notch beauties, you can leave your home address. In the whole process, your identity will not be known to other customers. So, the respected customer should not worry about it."

Since Leo made a huge deal with him, the stall owner was patient and explained everything.

"Oh"

Leo nodded and gave the delivery address of a mine and a manor he bought in Phirie city even before coming to the city.

"Oh. So, this mine and building were bought by this respected customer."

The stall owner was surprised when he received the address.

"What? Are that manor and mine famous or what?"

Leo frowned as he didn't expect the stall owner to know about his manor and mine he bought before coming to the city.

"I don't know whether I should say this or not but since the respected customer had made such a huge deal, I will say."

The stall owner hesitated before saying, "The previous three owners of that manor and mine mysteriously died in their sleep. That's why no one from this city bought that land, manor, or mine. Since you bought it, you must be new to this town.

I suggest the customer finds another place to sleep at night because it is very dangerous."
