Chapter 68 : Unique
"What are they doing?" Kim Hana wondered, turning her attention to the crowd of people.
Out of curiosity, Oliver stopped his motorcycle, taking off his helmet again.
He got off and walked straight towards the crowd without waiting for Kim Hana.
And she was actually walking separately from him, not talking or looking at him. This made them seem unconnected, just two people who happened to be walking in the same direction.
It wasn't noticed by anyone because the gathered people didn't look back at all despite the loud noise of motorcycle exhaust.
They seemed to be too focused on their business.
Oliver pushed a few people aside to open the way for him to see.
The problem was that there were quite a few large trees blocking the view when he looked from behind.
"Ohhh..." He was instantly dumbfounded when he saw what these people were actually swarming around.
They were crowding around a young man, younger than her, supposedly only 14 years old where his body had not yet fully grown.
He had a cute, ruddy face with messy blonde hair.
What was interesting about him was the fact that he was sitting on a plush sofa with a huge Dragozilla on each side, each acting like they were the young man's bodyguard.
And there were more monsters besides them, lined up behind them, either Lamia or Cyclops. Perhaps they consisted of Levels 1 to 3. Although they were large, their size had not reached the point of being excessive.
A sight like this was of course very surprising to Oliver.
The monsters were completely real and alive, unlike his shadow army. How could that young man bring so many monsters in the city.
He seemed to have control over them.
When he heard the people's talk, he finally knew that the young man was trying to sell the monsters, which he said would obey each of their buyers.
Level 1 monsters he was selling for 1000 Dollars, Level 2 for 2000 Dollars, and Level 3 for 3000 Dollars.
People were lured by this offer because it was obvious that they would be greatly helped if they hunted monsters with the help of monsters.
'Is he relying on a skill? However, are there any such skills for sale on earth?' Oliver wondered.
He doubted it relied on skills because the strongest skills on earth were only Class S Skills.
If there was a skill that could control monsters like this, it should be in a higher class.
Several people began to execute purchases as Oliver watched. 2 or 3K Dollars was definitely not taken seriously for a monster.
Apparently, when someone bought a monster, the young man took a drop of blood from the monster and gave it to the buyer.
The blood was applied to the buyer's hand and after that, the purchased monster actually obeyed the buyer.
This only made Oliver feel even more strange.
'Or maybe he's relying on a special item?'
Oliver suspected that because it felt like relying on a skill was rather impossible unless it was a higher class skill.
'He must have a special background or else he wouldn't be so bold as to show such a unique ability,' he thought again.
Even he felt tempted to find out, not to mention that other practical people would view such an ability as something very extraordinary.
However, since he had more reliable skills, so he had no intention of finding out or robbing the young man.
Over time, there were more people who bought monsters from that young man. Even then, the price was raised because of the scramble.
Before he knew it, all the monsters were sold out except for the two Dragozilla standing by the young man's side.
They seemed to be special for him so he didn't sell them.
Each of the monsters that had been sold then followed their buyers, which was a rather astonishing sight.
People who didn't have the money to buy were busy taking videos, spreading them across the internet.
Meanwhile, the two Dragozillas picked up the sofa that the young man was sitting on, carrying him away from there.
He seemed uninterested in continuing there after earning so much money.
"Ehh..."
Suddenly five black off road cars came, stopping at the street the young man was heading to.
When the doors opened, a group of large men got out of the cars.
They were all dressed in casual clothes, but people knew right away that they were members of the military, judging by the license plate of the car they were using plus they were carrying a laser pistol around their waist.
"Why are the military coming?" People started discussing, looking at each other.
"Do they want to arrest him?"
"It seems so. This young man is in serious trouble now unless he has a strong background."
The young man knitted his brows when he saw the people.
He signaled his two Dragozillas to stop.
Sure enough, the soldiers gathered in front of him.
"What do you want?" he asked them.
Their leader was a man in his 30s with long hair tied up.
His entire body was completely filled with muscles. Even as a human, he gave a very intimidating impression to those who saw him.
And he was a soldier with the rank of major, which was very high for his age.
"Your name is Elliot, right?" said the man, responding to the young man's question.
"Yes!" The latter answered without hesitation.
Although he knitted his eyebrows, he seemed to have no fear of those soldiers.
"Elliot, we are here to run an errand to take you to Vera Military Base, please cooperate," the man replied, stating his purpose.
People took a deep breath when he heard that.
That the military was starting to show fangs in this changing world was something that people expected so no one was so surprised.
Only, it might be a little faster. No, this was because the thing they were interested in appeared sooner.
If anyone was to blame, it was the young man himself because he was so conspicuous.
