Chapter 308 [Bonus Chapter] Wilson Stardust
After entering his manor, Leo didn’t waste his time and put on his blood-coloured mask before entering the Secret Dimensional Space.
‘Target: City Leader’s mansion.’
Since he still have to wait for the store owner to deliver the slaves, Leo decided to complete the second reason why he entered Starlight City.
And it was none other than taking control of Starlight City.
That’s right!
He was planning to take control of Starlight City because it was a mission that the otherworldly beings didn’t complete.
They created the cities with protective walls; however, they had to leave because of the ancient voice leaving those cities without any city leaders.
Initially, the residents of the cities elected a wise and strong leader; however, in a world with talents, and resources in the wilderness, the such ruling didn’t last for much longer.
After a few years of fighting for power, among the thousands of humans that risked their lives in the wilderness, a few of them successfully became Supreme-ranked heroes and took full control of the city.
Moreover, a supreme-ranked hero could unlock the supreme-ranked formation in the city to become even more strong inside the city.
From that point of time, only supreme-ranked heroes started becoming city leaders.
‘Since they have the supreme-ranked formation, even if a rank 2 or 3 supreme-ranked heroes could not kill them; however, as long as I neutralize him before he could activate that supreme-ranked formation, it would be a piece of cake to have a good discussion with him.’
Leo didn’t have any plans to kill the current city leader because he was not as bad as the other city leaders he had seen.
Even though he knew about the [Supreme Market], the city leader didn’t have enough power to go against the ‘Order of the Black Tower’. So, he could only look into his eyes and let them operate in the shadows.
However, when it comes to the infrastructure and the protection of the city wall, he upgrades them every year or twice.
‘The city leaders that care for their citizens are very rare in this age and world. So, it is better to give him some support and he will create a Safe City for both awakened and unawakened.’
Among all the city leaders he had seen until now, Starlight City’s leader was the only one that left a good impression after Maisy, the leader of the ‘Order of the Healing Angels’.
Therefore, Leo decided to bring the city leader under his wing.

Since Leo had already visited the city leader’s house once in the past, he didn’t have any problems entering.
‘There he is.’
Soon, he found a middle-aged man looking at the empty space as though he was thinking about something.
“City leader, what are you thinking about?”
Leo walked out of the Secret Dimensional Space and placed his hand on the city leader’s head before asking in a calm tone.
“Who are you?”
The city leader was about to turn his head; however, Leo stopped him by saying, “If you don’t want your head blown into pieces, listen to me patiently.”
“Talent Swallowing Hero?”
From the corner of his eye, the city leader saw the red-coloured mask and instantly recognized the person who dared to place their hand on his head.
“Yes. I am Talent Swallowing Hero.”
Leo nodded and said, “Are you going to listen to what I have to say?”
“I know you are not the type to harm innocent people.”
On the other hand, after learning it was Talent Swallowing Hero, the city leader became a little relaxed and said, “Of course, I will listen to what you have to say.”
“Then you really don’t know me.”
To the city leader’s first sentence, Leo shook his head and removed his hand from the city leader’s head.
Even though some people believed that the Talent Swallowing Hero would only go after the Evil Family and would not kill innocent people; however, Leo doesn’t agree with it.
Why Leo removed his hand from the city leader’s head because he knew the city leader didn’t have any intention of fighting him.
‘He is another one of those ignorant people that would make someone a hero overnight for a single good deed.’
Leo shook his head; however, he didn’t come here to discuss that he was not as righteous as they think.
Instead, he directly came to the point, “Do you want to create a safe city for your citizens?”
“My city is much safer…”
“Stop fooling yourself when your city’s orphans were being converted into slaves and sold away.”
Before the city leader could finish his words, Leo interrupted his words with a scoff.
“…”
Hearing Leo’s words, Wilson didn’t become furious or retorted; instead, he remained silent because what Leo said was true.
“What can I do about it? I am not powerful enough to protect everyone.”
Wilson bitterly sighed as he continued, “I know that’s not an excuse. If you are here to punish me for abandoning those orphans to the evil hands, I am happy to die in your hands.”
‘Huh?’
However, Leo was surprised to hear Wilson’s words as he didn’t expect a city leader to say such words.
“From the looks of it, you must have already become a supreme-ranked hero. If you promise me that you will become the next city leader of this city, I will die without any regrets.”
As for Wilson, he continued to say, “If it is you, you might have a chance of winning against the ‘Order of the Black Tower’.”
“Stop with that cr*p. You want to escape after making the lives of thousands of orphans miserable?”
Leo slapped Wilson’s head as he continued, “What if I back you? Will you go against the ‘Order of the Black Tower’?”
Leo was not surprised that Wilson knew about the ‘Order of the Black Tower’ as he asked him whether he was willing to fight the ‘Order of the Black Tower’ if he supported him.
“What? Really? Are you going to support me?”
Wilson had mixed emotions as he didn’t wait for Leo’s reply and said in a serious tone, “If Talent Swallowing Hero really supports me, I will destroy the [Supreme Marker] in my city right away.”
‘Ding,
Congratulations to the host for gaining a new subsidiary city.
