âJayden? Slave Marker?â
Leo could not believe Theodoreâs words for a moment; however, he realized something when he connected all the dots.
âMy parent invented the Seal Resistance Serum; however, if it were manufactured in bulk and available in the market, it would make the Slave Makerâs talent to engrave the enslavement seals useless.â
At first, Leo believed Theodoreâs master to be the Slave Marker; however, when he checked for the enslavement seals on Theodore and other city leaders, he didnât find any seals on them.
Thatâs why he rejected his thought regarding Slave Marker being the master of the city leaders.
âWho would have thought these b*stards would swear their allegiance to the Slave Marker willingly.â
Since these city leaders didnât have any enslavement seals on them, Leo could tell they willingly became the Slave Markerâs servants.
âWhere can I find him?â
Since the Slave Marker was the true mastermind, Leo obviously wanted to kill him.
âI only know that he lives in a Hidden city. I donât even know its name; however, the city leaders who serve him call that city the âCity of Slavesâ because thatâs where all the enslaved people were created and supplied to all the cities.â
Theodore was still in the dream and mistaken Leoâs voice for Heavenâs voice and answered everything..
âCity of Slaves?â
Leo frowned because he had never heard of such a city name in his years of venturing in the wilderness.
âGive me some more information on how to find the âCity of Slavesâ.â
Leo asked Theodore for more information; however, the other party clearly didnât do anything more than what he had said already.
âWhere should I find this âCity of Slavesâ?â
He felt he had enough information about the human world and all the cities in it; however, he only realised that there were still many things that he was oblivious to.
âPleâ¦use stop torturing me.â
As Leo was thinking about a way to âCity of Slavesâ, Theodoreâs torture in his dream upgraded to the next level.
âGive me something in finding a way to the âCity of Slavesâ. Then I will put you out of your misery.â
Even if Theodore was not the mastermind behind the death of his parents, Leo didnât have any thought of sparing his life.
So, he intentionally let Theodore experience the pain he had suffered for the last decade.
âH..how many times do I have to tell you that I donât know.â
Gritting his teeth, Theodore shouted at Leo for asking him the same question repeatedly; however, he soon realized that he was not in the position to speak angrily.
In the next second, he started begging the Heavens to put him out of his misery, âIâ¦I reallyâ¦.donâtâ¦.know.â
âThink. You must know something.â
Leo was not hoping for any new information from Theodore, and he just wanted to let Theodore for some more time before putting him out of his misery.
âWait for a secondâ¦I donât know about the âCity of Slavesâ; however, I know someone who might know about it.â
After a few moments of suffering and endless torments by the beauties in his head, Theodore seemed to remember something.
âHuh?â
Leo was pleasantly surprised and asked, âWho is it? I can put you out of your misery.â
âT..heâ¦city leader ofâ¦.Everlasting City. He is the closest one to theâ¦.â
Before he could finish his words, Theodore could not endure the endless torment from the beauties anymore and stopped breathing.
The mighty leader of Phirie city had died in the depths of the Solitary Forest without knowing who his killer was related to the scientists he killed ten years back.
âDing,
The host killed a level 1 supreme-ranked hero and gained one [Supreme Promote Point].
âDing,
The host has successfully completed the mission âTime for Revengeâ.
âDing,
The hostâs rewards will be issued in a few minutes. Sorry for the delay.
With the death of the City leader Theodore, a series of system notifications resounded in Leoâs head.
However, he was not excited or curious about the rewards; instead, he was thinking about Theodoreâs last words.
âEverlasting cityâs leader? Kaiser?â
Leo knew who the city leader of the Everlasting city was and frowned, âThat arrogant old b*stard is also a servant under the Slave Marker?â
Leo had never expected the old man he had a feud with would also be a servant of the Slave Marker.
He felt it was hard to believe because the old man of the Everlasting city was arrogantâ¦more arrogant than Gorilla or anyone that Leo had seen in his life.
âHowever, he had the strength to back his arrogance.â
Even though Leo was unable to assess Kaiserâs strength because of low strength back then, he could easily guess it would be around level 3 supreme rank.
âBut the thing is how that Slave Marker was able to get the acknowledgement of these city leaders without engraving his enslavement seals?â
Although Leo knew the Slaver Marker could turn a level 5 supreme-ranked hero into an enslaved person to follow him, he didnât expect the Slave Marker to have such strength to get the acknowledgement of the mighty heroes like City leaders.
âIf he could enslave and get the acknowledgement from the supreme-ranked beings with a rank 9 hero strength, how powerful would he become if he became a supreme-ranked hero?â
Just the thought made Leoâs heart anxious, and he muttered, âI have to be careful and kill him as soon as possible.â
Since he found the true mastermind behind the death of his adoptive parents, Leoâs target changed, and he wanted to kill him as soon as possible because he didnât want the Slave Marker to become more powerful than he already was.
âI think I should soon pay a visit to the Everlasting City and fulfil my promise to turn the Everlasting City into Neverlasting City.â
Leoâs only clue to finding the âCity of the Slavesâ was through Kaiser, the leader of the Everlasting City.
Therefore, he decided to visit the Everlasting City with his followers.
âDing,
The rewards have been issued, and a new system mission has been issued. Please check.
