Chapter 649: Shadow Syndicate

[Quasi Divine Knowledge]…

Item Name: Beast Storage Token.

Item Grade: Special Gold.

Use: The owner of the token can store three non-contracted beasts in it.

…

The first thing Leo did after receiving the Beast Storage Token from Uncle Grey was to check its details.

'I can store three non-contracted beasts? Good.'

Previously, Leo had used the Beast Storage Devices in which only one non-contracted beast could be stored; however, with the current one, Leo could store three non-contracted beasts.

So, of course, Leo was happy about it.

Without any hesitation, Leo stored the Galestorm Giant Eagle, Verdant Blade Hawk and Crystalwind Butterfly in it.

"For the next two days, stop reading and training. Take complete rest…drink the herbal concoction…."

After explaining about the Beast Storage Token, Uncle Grey started giving a list of instructions that Leo should be following for the following two days.

According to him, by doing so, Leo would awaken a powerful beast tamer's talent; however, when Leo used the [Quasi Divine Talent], he learned that there is no such thing as awakening a powerful talent.

Everything depends on the participant's luck.

Anyway, Leo assured Uncle Grey that he would follow them to make Uncle Grey stop worrying about him.

"Okay then, I will…"

'Swoosh'

Before Uncle Grey could finish those words, a group of silhouettes jumped onto him with various weapons in their hands.

"Wind Dragon, come out."

With his strength, Uncle Grey was able to sense the attack and hurriedly summoned his most powerful contracted beasts.

"Windy, Wind Tornado."

Without wasting any time, Uncle Grey dodged the incoming attacks from that group of silhouettes and hugged Leo before ordering the Wind Dragon to use its powerful skill.

'Roar'

'Swoosh'

With a roar, the Wind Dragon released a huge tornado which swallowed all the masked men into it.

At the same time, Leo's courtyard also turned into nothing but shambles.

Nevertheless, what matters to Uncle Grey was that Leo was safe and the masked men were caught in the wind tornado.

"Wind Basilik King, Wind Cutter."

Suddenly, there was a calm voice from the tornado and in the next second, the tornado was cut into pieces as though it was a piece of paper.

'Swoosh'

With the disappearance of the tornado, a total of 12 masked men along with a serpent-like beast landed on the ground in front of Uncle Grey and Leo.

"Shadow Syndicate?"

Uncle Grey raised his brows when he saw the logo of an organization on their clothes.

"As expected of Lord Valerian's brother, you are powerful."

The leader of the masked men chuckled a little as he continued to speak, "No wonder, your brother had put you in charge of the family while disappearing to who knows where."

"Your Shadow Syndicate was silent for the last ten years. I wonder why you are making a move all of a sudden?"

Uncle Grey was alert as he continued, "Don't tell me you are afraid of him?" Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ N0vᴇlFire(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

That's the only reason Uncle Grey was able to come up right now because the secret organization had remained silent for more than 10 years.

"My Shadow Syndicate is silent?"

Hearing Uncle Grey' words, the leader of the masked men scoffed before saying, "My Shadow Syndicate was never silent and had been preparing to take over this world while eliminating your so-called powerful families."

"And you guessed it right! We want to kill that brat before he could become another Valerian and along with him, you will die too."

As soon as he finished his words, the leader of the masked men took out a scroll and started injecting his tamer's energy into it.

"Whatever you are trying to do, it won't happen because, with the commotion I created earlier, the elders of the family will come at any time now."

On the other hand, Uncle Grey frowned when he saw the actions of the masked man and at the same time, he felt anxious because he was unable to guess what the leader of the masked men was planning to do.

Nevertheless, he didn't show any fear on his face and tried to intimidate them.

"Do you really think that we didn't know about that?"

The leader of the masked men scoffed at Uncle Grey as he continued, "Before they could come here, we will be going somewhere else to have a peaceful fight. Shall we go?"

As soon as he finished his words, the leader of the masked men tore the scroll in his hands.

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

As soon as he tore the scroll, everyone in Leo's courtyard disappeared after a bright light released by the scroll fell on them.

Of course, they didn't have the time to dodge the light ray because it was so fast that even Uncle Grey was unable to dodge it, not to mention Leo who didn't even awaken his beast tamer's talent.

….

Somewhere far from the Stormrider's Family,

'Swoosh'

Leo and others appeared in a forest that was filled with huge and tall trees.

"Welcome to the Dark Forest! It will take at least one hour for your elders to figure it out and come here. Until then, let's have fun."

After finishing his words, the leader of the masked men ordered his men, "What are you waiting for? Kill them."

"Yes, Duke."

Without wasting any time, the 10 masked men rushed towards Uncle Grey while summoning their contracted beasts and a masked man selected Leo as his target and summoned his contracted beasts.

"It's been a while since I fought with someone."

On the other hand, Leo remained calm as he slowly checked the strength of the incoming masked men without even trying to block the incoming attack.

"It's an easy opponent. I have to kill him and assist Uncle Grey."

Leo was not worried about himself; instead, he was worried about his Uncle Grey who was completely surrounded by 10 beast tamers and their 30 contracted beasts.
