The Legends Of Creator Hero
Slave Merchant

Rigel stared at the window, as if he heard a strange explosion and force from a distance. Although faint, he could feel a clash of strength between the forces of nature and one that was slightly unique. More like a power similar to the one Alexei used.

"Is it just my feeling or is something really going on behind the scenes? is it possible that Lucifer is moving?"

If it was Lucifer, then Rigel would be suspicious. He was the type of person who made one plan secretly but always hit two targets together. He himself did not believe that Lucifer would be silent for some time, although lately there has been no attack from the devil after the invasion. Maybe Dante's death was the cause of their silence because they did not want to lose anyone again.

Even so, Rigel wasn't sure about it. Lucifer himself stated that even without the demon pillars, he was still far away so powerful and Rigel admitted it was reality.

"However, the bitter taste on my tongue and this ambiguous feeling... Something must be happening or will happen. I guess I'll have to prepare myself even further."

While busy arguing with his head, someone walked up to him. She is Merial, who seems to have returned from Britannia to pick up Natalia and Leo.

"Mr Rigel, I've picked up Leo and my mother, Natalia. He was currently with Asoka discussing something and for Leo, he was going outside the palace to greet Riri and the others."

"Your work is as fast as ever, Merial. Nice work... Then, how did Leo react when I called him and what did he say?"

Merial began to daze over Rigel's question. Naturally, because he did not know anything that happened during the match practice.

"Umm, he did not say or show any special expressions. He's the same as always."

"so. Please go."

Merial left the place, while Rigel remained leaning against the window and gazing at the outside scenery. There are many things and puzzles that need to be answered, but for now he will only do the most urgent: the underground black market, Darkness.

Maybe this is a good opportunity for Leo to get a real experience on the edge of death. Inner Rigel.

Since there was nothing to do during this leisure time, Rigel decided to cool down by washing himself with the cold water of the mountains.

After washing himself, Rigel wore clothes with a black robe that looked evil. The waiter standing guard at the door of the bathhouse tells Rigel that Ray has returned. So he decided to hurry.

As soon as he arrives, he finds Ray and a 40-year-old midget man. He had a slightly unique appearance and was very reflective of a slave merchant.

"Rigel, this man is the one I'm referring to. Her name's..."

"What a thousand respects to be able to meet the Messiah of the world, Lord Hero Amatsumi Rigel! I was really moved by the opportunity I thought would never happen! Introduce, I am a Slave Merchant, just call me by whatever you want. Because I am despicable and filthy, it is not proper to name in front of you."

He bowed with great respect and looked like he was crying. Rigel doesn't believe it's real, he has faith that it's just crocodile tears. Although suspicious the reason why he did not mention his name, but in view of Ray's reaction he seems to have known the reason. Rigel will ask for the details later.

"Well, then just Midget. Straight away, I want you to be my guide when you go to Darkness. In exchange, I will buy many slaves you have and pay enough, how?"

Hearing that he started to giggle. As expected, her crying was just an act. He's really talented playing his part, it's terrible.

"That was indeed a great offer Mr. Hero Amatsumi Rigel. However, I want something else than money."

Midget's expression changed again, which made Rigel suspicious of her. On the other hand, Ray seems to know what he wants to say and his face turns sad.

"What is that? if you ask permission to sell slaves in the Region, unfortunately I'll kick you out."

"Yes, of course I know that you refuse the slave trade. I did not ask for property or permission. I only ask for one, please, please avenge my son who was killed by the champion of Fight To Death."

"Isn't it a natural death in that fight?"

"Right, if my son dies from fighting in the arena, then I won't try to avenge him. However, he never registered himself in that fight. He was just trying to help his fighting friend, but his opponent didn't let go and killed my son with his friend."

"Are outsiders allowed to enter the arena?"

"Yes, but under special circumstances. A person who can enter is only a person who is willing to give his valuables for the life of a defeated fighter."

So anyway. Now Rigel understood very well the outline that happened and about Fight To End.

"All right then. But I can't promise, depending on the circumstances I might not be in that fight."

Hearing that, Midget nodded and seemed not to impose her will.

"Alright, Mr. Hero Amatsumi Rigel. Then, I'm ready to deliver you at any time."

"Call me Rigel."

After saying that, Rigel withdrew and did something else. He goes out of the palace to meet Leo who seems to boast that he has grown up. On the other hand, Riri and the other children look flushed with jealousy and a little angry at the provocation that Leo gave them.

"Gee! Brother Rigel!"

Riri realizes Rigel's whereabouts and runs towards him with the other children.

"Sister Rigel, please get us to grow up faster like Leo, so he doesn't brag about himself!"

"Well, if you want to grow up, eat a lot and raise your level. Then, if you want to level up, invite Fang or Red to accompany you. I won't let you go alone."

Rigel gently rubbed Riri's head and passed through it, walking towards Leo who remained silent.

"Leo, I'm sorry for what happened back then."

"It's okay, dad! actually, I was a little scared until now, but I heard from my mom that you're fine now!" Leo smiled as widely as ever.

The mama? what does he mean is Tirith? I'll make the calculations to him later.

"So, what do you need to call me, Dad?"

"Yes, I want to take you to the underground market, Darkness and give you a real experience."

Leo's expression changed, unlike Rigel's. His expression turned irritated and angry at something upon hearing that he was going to visit Darkness.

"Dark market, Darkness?!"

Ahh~, now Rigel remembers that Leo used to be a slave. He may have had some bad experiences in that city.
