Hero of Darkness Chapter 537: Expert Opinion

Chapter 537: Expert Opinion

Kahn was having nothing but regrets after finding the truth about the matter that happened with the old dwarf saint blacksmith.

No matter how they looked at it… they were caught off in the crosshairs between the 2nd imperial prince and this lying and conniving b.a.s.t.a.r.d of a dwarf who intentionally hid all that information till Kahn was done with signing off their contracts and made a deal.

If it was just some local tyc.o.o.n or some overlord of this region… he and his people were fully capable of dealing with those types of people and unlike the Rukon District from Rathna, they were now far experienced enough to not leave a single clue behind.

But an imperial prince… and that too was when everyone was aware of the situation about what happened between the two parties during the banquet held for the n.o.bles.

Kahn was certain that if there weren't too many people watching, the second prince would've simply had Oakenshield killed on the spot.

And anyone with their sanity intact would make that decision of jumping the ship since it was the obvious choice in order to survive against the wrath of the prince of the empire.

And now… because of his eagerness and greed for the armors and weapons made from the guardian dragon's body… Kahn made a hasty decision and got himself mixed into the very kind of matters he wanted to avoid at all cost.

He really hit his own foot with an axe.

[Tch! What are you so worried about? It's not even a big deal.] spoke Rathnaar.

[Oh really? Wasn't it you who said that I should go with the deal?] asked Kahn in a sarcastic tone.

[Don't worry. I know a way to get out of this situation easily.] replied Rathnaar.

[How?] asked Kahn with a curious tone.

[It's simple… we take out the second prince.] he replied.

Facepalm!

Kahn facepalmed himself as if he was done with his quota of bulls.h.i.t ideas for the day.

Master Oakenshield, who was sitting in front of their group raised an eyebrow as he was unaware of Kahn's inner conversation and wondered what caused this reaction.

[Do you have any idea? We're n.o.bodies here! How the h.e.l.l are we going to do that?

And why the h.e.l.l would I go that far? The whole empire will be after me!] he yelled inside.

[Who the h.e.l.l do you think I am, boy?

I fought against empires and their chosen heroes by myself.

You may have some good and cunning plans but I am the one with much more experience here.

This situation of yours… although very problematic… can still be reversed.] stated Rathnaar in a carefree tone.

[How?]

[Become the Resistance.]

[What do you mean?] asked Kahn.

[In a fight, you know that one side is weak while the other side is the best.

Who do you think will win?] asked the peak saint.

[The best.] responded Kahn.

[But who do you want to win?] asked the first emperor again.

[The weak.] replied Kahn without a second thought.

[See. That's the concept behind it. People are thrilled and want to see the underdog win.

The second prince is the oppressor. So spread the news about it and also your compet.i.tion against the Helsi guy.

And you will become the Resistance.] elaborated Rathnaar.

But Kahn rolled his eyes in annoyance.

[Are you insane?! This is an imperial rule. Do you think anyone would dare to go against the imperial prince?

No underworld organizations would help you do the job.

People's sentiments here won't work because even with public outrage, no one is going to do s.h.i.t because that's straight-up execution.

It's nothing like Rakos Empire here. The Imperial clan is the true ruler and their word is the absolute law.] rebuked Kahn.

[That's just the beginning.

He's an imperial prince, right?

So who do you think will be his biggest enemies and who would benefit the most?] asked Rathnaar in a wicked voice.

Kahn suddenly raised his eyebrows as he came to realize the key factor of Rathnaar questions.

It wasn't them who had much to lose. But the second Imperial prince himself.

[See, if you play your cards right… not only will you get out of this situation… the old dwarf will have a lot of attention as well as backers lining up.

If anything were to happen to you… the blame would fall on the 2nd prince. Forget targeting you… that guy will have to send his people to protect you.

And it will also help you create a better cover-up for your story.] said Rathnaar and soon, he told Kahn how to retain his gains and also overturn the situation in his favor.

[That's how I dealt with many uprisings and enemy empires who attacked us.] spoke the first emperor.

Kahn and everyone else agreed with his plans as all of them were in awe after listening to a true expert.

"Tell me your name, shameless master." said Kahn as he looked at the old dwarf with the eyes of a predator.

"Throak Oakenshield. And address me properly, human. I'm your teacher now." spoke the old dwarf.

"Bah, teacher my a.s.s. Listen… let's negotiate our deal again." said Kahn and in the following ten minutes, he told him their plan.

"Think about it. It can get rid of all of your problems. Get back your reputation. h.e.l.l, it can get you even stronger backers and allies in the process." he iterated in a coy tone.

"But in return… you will tear off those contracts we signed. And you will have to do the commission for free for armors and weapons for all of us. I can even wait for a year." negotiated Kahn.

"And why would I do that?" asked Throk in a discontent voice.

To his query, Kahn let out a devilish smirk and spoke in a benign voice…

"Because f.u.c.king over the top authorities of an empire…" spoke Kahn and bragged with a charming smile.

"I'm an expert in that."
