Hero of Darkness Chapter 335: Finding A Star

Chapter 335: Finding A Star

After Kahn's order, both the brothers checked the list of names inside the book handed to them by Ronin. And as soon as they shuffled through the names, their eyes were left wide open in surprise. Both of them looked towards Kahn and suddenly, a solemn expression appeared on their face.

"My lord, this list.." spoke Elijah but before he could continue, Ronin interjected.

"Yes. The list of all the criminal and underworld organizations that we've found out till now." he said while looking at the duo with lifeless eyes.

Kahn then spoke in a solemn tone.

"As you can guess… all these names are connected to various government officials, conglomerates and military officers.

These people are the ones doing the dirty deed and have laundered the money for those people.

Just doc.u.mented records aren't enough.

We can't prove their crimes and misdeeds without proof or witnesses." spoke Kahn as he revealed the meaning behind the names in the book.

Since Seven Deadly Sins wasn't established in Verla.s.sen yet, they couldn't use or rely on anyone else to carry out an operation of this scale without attracting eyes on them.

"Both of you are natives of Verla.s.sen and you know this place better than us. And our hands are already filled with a lot of work.

So can you two do it?" elaborated and asked Kahn.

"But my lord.. An operation of this scale… are you trying to get them all in a single swoop?" asked Niklaus.

"That's my job to worry about. Can you do it or not?" asked Kahn again with a firm tone.

Both the brothers suddenly stood up and shouted together.

"We will not disappoint you, my lord!"

Kahn then took all the records handed by commander Stark in his s.p.a.ce rings and spoke.

"You will receive all the tools and funding for it. Just make sure that n.o.body suspects anything or finds your real ident.i.ty.

I will send a warship for you to travel around Verla.s.sen tomorrow morning. You have only one week." commanded Kahn and decided to depart.

While traveling back to Aesir, Kahn and Ronin were sitting in a wide room and discussing a few things among them.

"What did Omega, Jugram and Oliver report?" asked Kahn.

"They're finished on their end. We have everything that you planned. So when should we start?" reported and asked Ronin.

"Well… since the stage is ready, we need a celebrity for the first episode. So we can make the show a complete hit right from the start." replied Kahn.

His eyes were now filled with resolution and a light smile appeared on his face.

"So let's bring in our first candidate."

The next day, Kahn and his warships departed in the evening and at midnight, they arrived at the western end of the fiefdom.

This was a region named Hiryno, a military-controlled area but unlike Mordor, it was filled with millions of people.

However, the loud noises of the gigantic warships broke the silence of the night as they flew above the city that specialized in business related to magic ores mining.

And as they reached the central region; one by one, the four warships Kahn brought with him, each of which was controlled by his people in gray armors, a loud announcement echoed throughout the 50 kilometer radius as Kahn spoke through the sound-amplifying artifacts installed in the ships.

"Commander Aswala, your time is up!"

His loud voice spread across the city and since many people had already woken up because of the arrival of the warships, they heard this message loud and clear.

"You're under arrest for several crimes against the fiefdom such as corruption, money embezzlement, abuse of power.

You shall be taken into custody by the authorities for further questioning.

So come out peacefully and surrender yourself." declared Kahn.

Shocked!

Most of the population of this city who heard this announcement was shocked and dumbfounded.

"What's this nonsense?! What proof do you have?!" shouted the bearkin semi-saint as he stormed out of his house.

Kahn then replied from the warship hovering high in the air.

"We have more than enough proof. Please comply and surrender yourself.

This is a place where your clansmen, soldiers and family lives.

So let's not do something stupid and involve innocent people during the arrest.

Should you choose to resist, I will be forced to take extreme measures." announced Kahn from the warship.

"You think I'm a fool?! Guards, prepare our weapons and cannons and attack this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" commanded the bearkin in a loud voice that resounded in the entire headquarters that spanned for 5 kilometers in radius.

[Ah, this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Does he not care about his people getting killed during the fight? Does he thinks their lives are easily replaceable?] thought Kahn as he facepalmed himself.

This semi-saint was so high on his horses to the point he forgot that he was throwing hay on a guy with a gun.

"Jeez.. I don't have time for this. I'm already skipping on my goodnight sleep to catch this guy and he is choosing to fight back.

The audacity of this b.i.t.c.h.." spoke Kahn in an exasperated tone.

The next moment, he made another announcement and the whole scenario changed.

"Take them out!" spoke the new sovereign.

Everyone who heard this command was scared to death instantly because they thought Kahn was about to wipe out the entire headquarters. Just one cannon attack from his warships was more than enough to turn this place into cinders.

But unlike what everyone thought… the command wasn't targeted toward the people running the warships but the ones that had already infiltrated inside this headquarters.

It was Ronin and his team of a.s.sa.s.sins that were hiding using the dark of the night even before Kahn arrived in the warships.

One by one, they took out all the people who were about to attack Kahn's side and dismantled all the weaponry.

As soon as the bearkin commander noticed that something was amiss, he took out two battleaxes from the s.p.a.ce ring and challenged Kahn.

"If you want to capture me.. You'll have to show me if you're strong enough." he spoke in an enraged tone.

"Great! There goes my sleep." yawned Kahn and jumped down from the entrance of the warship.

He jumped right in the middle grounds of the headquarters and spoke with a bored expression as he looked at the bearkin.

"Seriously man, this is.... un'bear'able."
