Cale was surprised at the sudden notification from 'The Black Market', but at least he now knew that some of his questions might be answered after upgrading his Authority Level to Divine Level.
He smiled and browsed through 'The Black Market'. He opened the Slaves category and found several humans who were a lot stronger than even Brogen.
* Atlas (Human)
- 800 000 000 Black Coins
- The Emperor of the Agustus Empire and also the strongest man of the empire. His leadership allowed the Agustus Empire to reign supreme in the world of Aelous.
* Nocturna (Half-Human) (Half-Elf)
- 1 000 000 000 Black Coins
- The young princess of the Elven Kingdom in Aelous. The Elven Kingdom hid away from the mundane world as they held no desire to conquer the world. Their only wish was to protect the Tree of Life that gave birth to them, but the said tree died alongside Aelous's destruction.
Cale was surprised as it was his first time seeing a non-human slave. He had the thoughts of having her, but he held on his desires and continued to browse.
He opened the Skills Category.
* B-Class Painting Skill
- 700 000 Black Coins
* B-Class Gunsmanship (Already Learned)
- 5 000 000 Black Coins
Cale frowned when he saw the Gunsmanship skill. He did not recall buying this, but he saw the words 'Already Learned'. It must be his own learning about gunsmanship.
He then opened the Weapons Category and was pleasantly surprised at the weapon he saw.
* Energy Gun
- 10 000 000 Black Coins
Although it was merely a low-grade energy gun and was even weaker than the ones they had in the Alliance, its effectivity is much better as it doesn't need bullets. The user only needed to pour their origin essence on the weapon for it to produce energy bullets. And each of these energy bullets is at least ten times stronger and deadlier than normal bullets.
He purchased the gun without hesitation and a bright ray of light appeared in front of him. He then saw a futuristic-looking handgun appear out of thin air.
He caught the gun and held it on his hands. The cold surface of the Energy Gun made his hands a bit numb, but the feeling disappeared after becoming used to it.
He then poured a small amount of origin essence and a sudden prompt appeared in front of him.
- Ding!
- Loaded 5 Energy Bullets
"Eh? That little bit of origin essence can already produce five Energy Bullets? Good stuff!" Cale muttered pleasantly as he held the Energy Gun in his hands fondly.
He then aimed at the sky outside before firing a shot.
"Doov!" A strange sound resounded lightly when he fired the Energy Gun, but the power behind the shot was astonishing!
'Good weapon! It can definitely kill an Emperor-Class martial arts practitioner if he/she is not careful.' Cale thought excitedly despite the Energy Gun in his hands being slightly weaker than the Energy Guns they had in the Alliance.
He kept the Energy Gun on his storage before going inside his room.
The next morning.
"I want to go with you guys. Please bring me with you!" The voluptuous young lady pleaded with a pitiful look. She was already wearing elegant clothing that fitted her body perfectly.
"Look, Samantha, I understand that you wanted to come with us. But your parents would surely be very worried if you suddenly disappeared without asking for their permission." Anton had a small talk with this young lady last night, but their conversation was only less than twenty minutes as the young lady was too tired from all the events that happened.
"They... They died... They were killed by Andrei." She sniffled and was about to cry, but she held herself back and continued glancing with determination at the masked Wolf King.
Anton sighed and he was about to answer back when Wolf King's impassive voice resounded behind him. "You can come with us and you will also be a student of my Tyrannical Tower from now on."
Samantha's eyes brightened and she could not help but smile widely. "Thank you, Wolf King." She walked towards Wolf King and opened her arms wide, clearly wanting to hug the latter. But Wolf King put his right hand on Samantha's head and stopped her approach. The latter pouted cutely while faking an angry look. Wolf King smiled and patted her head softly, making Samantha feel a bit better.
'How charming! If I were a woman, I would surely fall in love with just his smile... Fuck! What am I even thinking?!' Anton inwardly cursed himself and erased the unhealthy thoughts away.
"Get inside the plane everyone." Wolf King then ordered everybody to board the plane.
More than ten minutes later, only Cale, Brogen and Zero were outside.
"Zero, stay here for a bit and gather information about those guys. But be very careful and never confront them. It's not yet time to poke the hornet's nest. Also, I want you to find this guy." Cale handed a piece of small paper with a sketch of a man. The sketch was very vivid and it looked like the man was about to come out of the paper.
To draw this vivid sketch, Cale bought the B-Class Painting Skill. He also thought that the ability will be helpful in his quest of finding the rest of his Phantom Wolf Squad.
Although the members of his Phantom Wolf Squad were not as strong as Brogen and the other slaves, he held deep brotherly affection towards them. And also with their talent and with the help of 'The Black Market', they will surely exceed their former selves if he trained them well.
And there was one guy in his squad who had the weakest skill in gun-wielding. But that very same guy was also the third strongest in the squad if Cale was included. The guy was like Zero, who specializes in assassination and stealth. He was just right behind Cale and Leo in terms of strength among the entire squad...
Zero then glanced at the words written below the sketch.
"-Eilhard Gottfried a.k.a Saber"
