Hero of Darkness Chapter 705 Making New Friends

Chapter 705 Making New Friends

Kahn proposed an under-the-table deal to the brown wolfkin executive a.s.sociate of the mercenary a.s.sociation named Logan Vargr on the spot without any forewarning or talking in roundabout ways. He was not worried about any ramifications of the latter acting out or causing trouble for him.

Kahn was dealing with a grown and experienced person who had seen the ins and outs of the business and not some noob on the first day of his job who had moral and ethical values.

"Point me in the right direction, make a few recommendations for us in the future and I will make sure to fill your pockets to the point you can't carry the weight." he spoke nonchalantly.

Corruption and Favouritism existed in all sorts of companies, organizations and even the government. So Kahn intended to make use of those precedents and set a few things in stone.

As for the jewelry and gold… Kahn didn't need these. He had enough of these shiny objects to form a mountain. But selling them in bulk or even on the black market would gain too much attention even from the imperial authorities given how these were mostly from Rakos, an enemy empire.

So revealing these to the ma.s.ses was a big risk to their lives. But using them for a small exchange wasn't going to leave any traces behind because the person next wasn't an idiot who would put it on display to the world either.

The brown wolfkin on the other end was still trying to grasp the situation given how quickly things happened.

He was already under the impression that Kahn needed him because he was an Iroborn, the kind of elves who sometimes get looked down on even by normal elves among the same species since they didn't serve and pray under the customs set by the monasteries.

As for Kahn's offering… the chest filled with gold and jewels was enough to set him up and live a lavish life for a couple of years.

But the way Kahn casually pa.s.sed it around… Logan's intuition told him that Kahn and the group were some big-shots starting anew in Alfheim.

Getting in the good books of these people would only be beneficial and won't hurt him as long as he used the laws of the a.s.sociation as a pretense.

He already knew how his higher-ups were giving preferential treatment to top clans, exalted n.o.bles and high elves while not even throwing breadcrumbs to them when in reality, he managed the whole department and did all the paperwork as well as shouldering all the responsibilities and consequences.

The higher-ups reaped the rewards all these years yet he got nothing for his hard work only because he was a Demi-Human and not a Human or an Elf.

[This could be my only chance to change my life.] he thought to himself as he made an important decision.

Logan nodded and then pulled the chest in his own s.p.a.ce ring made by Elven Artificing techniques.

Honesty, Loyalty and Morality… he had seen how valuable those things were in real life and how they amounted to nothing in their social structure.

One was bound to be stuck in a cage made by the powerful as soon as they were born in any other species than Elves in this empire.

So now that a great opportunity came knocking at his door, he would be a fool to let it go.

A few seconds later, Logan took out a red book and gave it to Kahn.

"Find these people. And you can try your luck there. If things don't go as you want… you never met me." said Logan in a stern voice.

Kahn nodded in affirmation. Both parties stood up and then shook hands, the latter responding in a pleased tone.

"I hope you will have something useful for me ready when I come next time."

1 WEEK LATER

Inside a ma.s.sive auditorium, more than 700 individuals from species to species and different fighting cla.s.ses and professions had gathered after being paid a good sum just to attend this meeting.

The main common factor being that everyone belonged to small mercenary teams that stood at the bottom of the food chain.

After getting the book from Logan Vargr, Kahn and the group had spent an entire week locating and contacting all these mercenary teams and some envoys and lured them with hefty offerings to attend this meeting.

Other than being mercenaries, these groups were ousted by Logan in a separate book because there was another common factor that no one other than him knew.

All these groups… were about to be disbanded.

Not getting enough clients or making way too less money put them in an economic crisis… all these groups were the victims of the wealthy guilds taking away all the juicy meat and not even leaving a few bones behind for these bottom feeders.

As for the hosts of this event, all of them were said to be peak grandmasters. Thus, many came to get the free money that was promised after the end of the meeting and also due to curiosity to see the frivolous people who were throwing it away just to make them attend this gathering and witness what all this fuss was about.

7 peak grandmasters stood on the stage while all these invitees were calmly seated, waiting for the main event to begin.

Omega stood at the center and announced their new names to all the people present as part of the introduction.

And finally…

Step!

Step!

Kahn in his Legolas Ragnarsson appearance walked on the stage as Omega and all the Generals bowed in respect, giving everyone a hint that the main boss had arrived.

"Welcome everyone. Thank you for receiving our invitation.

Before I begin, let me a.s.sure you all that whether you like what we have to say or not… you will still receive the money." he started off the bat with the main thing everyone came from.

"Ha ha! That's more like it. Finish this chatter quickly then." spoke a Tank cla.s.s orc warrior.

Others also laughed and chanted the same thing.

"Alright, alright. I won't beat around the bush." spoke Kahn and continued in an elegant yet domineering manner.

"I present you all... A life changing opportunity."
