Landlord World - Start with SSS talent

At Jankos' family estate.

As soon as he returned, his father, Janky, immediately planned to host a grand feast, inviting many other powerful families with whom Janky had business dealings.

Why was he organizing such a grand party this time?

It was because his son, Jankos, had encountered a tremendous opportunity and had evolved from a B-Rank Lord to a B+ Rank.

To everyone, this was a remarkable achievement.

"Father, do we need to host this party?" Jankos asked with a smile.

In the living room, his father and he were enjoying tea, and a man stood beside them.

Though the man was not dressed in servant attire, he stood there as though he were one.

When Janky and Jankos finished their tea, he hurriedly poured more into their cups.

If Noan were here, he would surely recognise this young man.

This was Caleb.

Hearing Jankos' question, Janky chuckled and said, "Son, this is the time for us to show everyone our power."

"You are so outstanding. Why hide it? Moreover, this is also an opportunity for me to tell everyone that you have become a king-like existence in the Chaotic World."

"On top of that, I want that family to know that you are worthy of their daughter, understand?"

Jankos smiled upon hearing this. He was a very proud person, and anything that could boost his pride, of course, he would not refuse.

Moreover, his father was right. He wanted that family, especially that girl, to look at him, to pay attention to him.

Janky suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha... Jankos, you've done very well this time. The event in the Chaotic World is of tremendous significance. The more dazzling you are, the brighter our future will be."

"Father, is this event organized by the Federation Government and the Empire?" Jankos asked in confusion.

Janky shook his head: "No! You don't need to know too much; it wouldn't be good for you. I can only tell you one thing... in the future, the regions will merge together."

"Moreover, a terrifying war will eventually break out. The one who stands firm in the end may surpass even Queen Catherine."

Hearing this, Jankos' face flushed with excitement. Although he was currently just a B+ Rank Lord, he could feel that he could evolve even further in the future.

At that time, the A-Rank or S-Rank Lords, in his eyes, would be nothing more than mere ants.

Why was he so sure? Because the energy inside his body would help him evolve once again.

After leaving the Trial Tower, he had evolved to B Rank Peak, not just B+.

However, he didn't want to tell his father this because... the goals of him and his father were entirely different.

Even though he had only passed the 5th floor, that was more than enough.

That's why when he heard Janky speak, Jankos felt immense excitement.

'To become a being even more terrifying than Queen Catherine... Hahahaha... I will definitely become such an existence,' Jankos thought to himself.

"Good! I'm very pleased with your performance this time. You can choose an item from the family's vault," Janky suddenly sighed.

"Unfortunately, if you could bring magical items into that world, it would be perfect. That way, you would have a significant advantage over the others."

"Hahahaha..." Jankos laughed, saying, "Father, I think everything is great as it is. No one can bring anything into that world."

"Only this way can everyone see just how dazzling my light truly is, right?"

Janky nodded lightly. "You're absolutely right. I heard that before entering the Chaotic World, did you have a conflict with someone?"

Jankos suddenly remembered a rank F kid who dared to challenge him.

Of course, he didn't want to pay any attention to that foolish kid, but that bastard often hung out with Lylia, which annoyed him.

"Father, don't worry, he's just trash," Jankos laughed. "I just want to play with him a bit."

"What's better than not only being able to kill him but also crush his hopes, making him fall into the depths of despair?"

Janky lightly nodded at this, but then he suddenly looked at Caleb with disdain, saying, "Caleb, learn a little from your brother, understand?"

Caleb gritted his teeth, his anger reaching its peak, but he still lowered his head and said, "Father, my brother is so brilliant and powerful. Even if I wanted to learn, I couldn't."

"Hahahaha... Father, he's right." Jankos suddenly poured the teacup Caleb had just filled onto the floor. "There are some people whose fate, from the moment they were born, is to be dogs."

"A dog can never compare to a human. Do you understand, my little brother?"

After finishing his words, Jankos stood up and walked away. As he passed Caleb, he stopped momentarily and said, "There are many types of dogs. Some are loyal dogs, while others are dogs who dare to bite their master."

"However, no matter what kind of dog it chooses to be, it will always be a dog, unable to compare to a human."

"If the mother is a dog, then the child born will also be a dog. It's so laughable, a dog always wanting to integrate into the human world."

"Hahahaha..."

Caleb clenched his fists until they were white, his face flushed with anger, his eyes almost shooting flames.

Janky saw this and didn't defend or console Caleb. Instead, he asked, "Did you gain anything from entering the Chaotic World this time?"

Caleb gritted his teeth, his hands clenched for a long time before slowly relaxing. He then took a deep breath and said, "Father, everything is normal. It's just… after the recent 'Zombie Wave' event, my Heroes and soldiers all died. We are in the process of recovering."

"Ah!" Janky only sighed, then took a sip of his tea and said, "The tea is cold now; it no longer smells good, and it can't be drunk."

After speaking, Janky poured the tea out of the cup into the tray and then stood up to leave.

Caleb, of course, understood the implication behind Janky's words. Though they were somewhat flowery, they were no different from what Jankos had just said.

He stood still, tears suddenly streaming down his face, his features twisted with anger.

He hated… he hated them and himself for being so weak.

If he had been stronger, his mother would not have died, and his father would not treat him like a dog.

No, even if he were stronger than Jankos, he still wouldn't be welcome in this family.

Because… his mother was…

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing cut through Caleb's thoughts.

He frowned, took out his phone, and saw a strange number.

Although he felt a bit annoyed, he still answered the call.

"Who is it?"

"It's me!" A familiar voice came from the other end.

Caleb immediately recognized who it was. He didn't rush to respond but looked around, realizing that no one else was around, and then replied, "Master!"

"Help me investigate someone; I need the results as soon as possible."

Hearing that voice, Caleb immediately became serious and focused.

"Master, just give me some information. I'm sure I can find this person." Caleb responded respectfully.

"Check your messages."

"Yes, Master." Caleb replied.

Then, he saw a few basic messages. Of course, he didn't dare delay and immediately took this information to the butler for investigation.

Caleb took a deep breath and gripped the phone tightly in his hand. At that moment, a wildly improbable thought crossed his mind.

He wanted to gamble.

Yes, he was betting everything—his future and his life—on this gamble.

…

In the bar's basement, Raito sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette while listening to the music playing from the four speakers in the room's corners.

The music was so loud that he couldn't hear anything except the music and the sound from the cigarette.

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

The sound of banging on the door echoed, but Raito remained seated as if he couldn't care less.

BAM!

BAM!

The banging continued, and Raito furrowed his brow, irritated, shouting, "Damn it! I told you not to disturb me right now. Are you deaf? I'll…"

BAM!

The door was violently kicked open. The hinges were ripped off, causing the door to fly toward Raito.

He was startled. In his drug-induced state from the cigarette, his actions and reflexes were slower than usual.

BAM!

The door hit him, sending him falling back onto the sofa. However, he was still strong enough to stand up, dusting himself off and glaring angrily at the door.

"You… you..." Raito's anger was extinguished when he saw the person standing in the doorway. He stammered, "Why… why are you here?"

Noan slowly entered the room, pulled out a small card, and said, "There are 100 million credit points on this card. Help me capture a few people."

"This..." Raito hesitated.

"Ah! I understand." Noan took out a small bag and then turned it upside down.

Clink! Clink!

Some energy crystals fell onto the floor, making a loud, piercing sound.

"Is this enough?" Noan frowned and asked.

Raito trembled slightly. He stammered, "This... You... you know I'm a gangster, but I can't..."

"I'm here to inform you, not to negotiate. If you don't do it, then you can disappear from this world."

Raito: "..."
