Hero of Darkness
chapter-175

Two weeks passed by and the Bloodborne company was back on track. Although a lot of damage was done to the reputation of the company.. Kahn then used the same method his enemies used to thwart away his rise in popularity.

Kahn paid tons of networking organizations and even made the dark alley deals with some organizations that worked in intel gathering.

He used Szayel's clan to make a direct deal with the underworld. And like there are no exceptions.. This rich and prestigious clan from the pureblood faction too had their feet set inside the underworld as well.

The vampire clan heir Kahn saved nearly a month ago was proving very useful to him day by day. Although he too was aware of how they had undisclosed motives behind all the help they were offering.. He wasn't the kind to refuse free help when he was in need.

In the first week alone, the common people hired by these agencies and underworld organizations spread around the word about how the greedy enterprises had paid and targeted the Bloodborne company because they were selling the products at a reasonable price and not the exorbitant and unfair rates these rich folks wanted them to do.

And the narrative of rich and powerful oppressing the weak and poor guy always worked like a charm on the common citizens of the society.

And to top it all.. The Bloodborne company even offered a 10% discount for the next few weeks because they were forced to make this decision as the business was in decline.

With this story spread amongst the masses, those who felt empathetic towards the starting company who was fair and just and originated from a poor background because of a hardworking and talented Grandmaster Blacksmith.. And those who wanted to take advantage of these low costs flooded their stores.

Even the dealers and distributors had their shops swarmed with people asking for their products.

This seemed like the Bloodborne company won't survive for long if the profits went downhill on the surface.. But in reality, Kahn had no worries because his real aim was to regain the reputation of the company that was tainted because of the ploy of their enemies.

Although, the company itself was suffering many losses at this time and the profits they were making barely covered the marginal cost.. The funding required to keep the company afloat for the next few months was already in his pockets.

And all that because of the generous 'donations' given by all the top business figures Kahn met in the Chamber of Commerce that day.

Each of the rings had inner space big enough to function like a medium-sized warehouse. And the amount of wealth every single one of them held..

Kahn barely managed to sleep that night after he, Albestros, Ronin, Omega & Jugram counted all the money and resources they received from the decades of all the hard work of these business tycoons.

These people wanted to oppress him but he robbed them instead.

And now.. The total amount of wealth and resources Kahn gained from the 58 space rings that he took for safeguarding from the real owners.. Was beyond his wildest dreams.

To Kahn, who had amassed his wealth before he came to the capital by the good ol' method of righteous and honorable means called plundering the dead.. The living beings offered him more money and that too without the bloodshed.

He also found the Orichalcum plates that were used as denominations for 1 Million gold coins. He now had 63 of these plates along with the normal gold coins.

Kahn was now the owner of 156 million gold coins, 80,000 A Rank monster cores and mana ores. 500,000 B rank cores. And to his surprise and for the first time.. He nearly had 3 thousand S Rank cores!

This sudden uprise in resources and materials made him realize that he wasn't living inside a small pond like before. But truly in the vast open ocean.

He barely resisted the urge to visit these people again and rob their fortune. This was just the personal wealth of all those 13 tycoons.. Who knew about their enterprise's real income.. And if this was the income of people sitting in top positions of just one section of the chamber of commerce.. What about the other four?

And at the end.. These people were the top brass of just one district.. The capital Rathna had 86 other districts. What about their wealth?

The greedy accountant inside Kahn was having an orgasm just with the thought of it.

The amount of Epic Rank weapons, potions, magic scrolls, armors in full sets he now had exceeded in hundreds. Compared to the current him.. The Kahn who felt like a bigshot in terms of wealth when coming to Rathna was not even worth looking at.

And with this money.. What Kahn planned to do would make those people who messed with him punch themselves in the face. If not for them acting all high and mighty.. He wouldn't hold this vast amount of wealth in the first place.

The president wanted Kahn to pay 50 million gold coins as a penalty for incurring their wrath.. But now his own wealth was 3 times bigger than what they wanted him to fork out.

The first thing he did was to hire 3 thousand more employees, hundreds of magic carriages for transportation. Over 20 new security guards for every single shop.. So no one would dare to cause any more trouble.

And by spending another 25 million gold coins.. He leased 23 more buildings to open their stores, made deals with even bigger suppliers and the top figures he befriended in the past 2 weeks in the name of business were none other than the powerful clans from the Pureblood Faction.

The Bloodborne company was now twice bigger, efficient and capable in just two weeks.

Rather than letting all that money rot in his space rings.. He was going to use it to keep making more money in the future.

What he wanted to do was use this opportunity to open a few more branches in other districts but the company was still in the name of the old blacksmith. Any bold moves and people will start asking questions about the origin of the funding. So Kahn decided to take baby steps first.

Kahn now stood in a forested area with Omega and all the members of the Six Generals such as Ronin, Oliver, Jugram, Ceril, Blackwall and Armin. They all looked at the cores and ores Kahn took out from his space rings.. Dozens of rings to be precise.

The glittering red cores and multicolored ores in the middle shone brightly under the moonlight as they were placed on multiple tables and these hungry wolves were rubbing their hands together like flies.

He spoke in an excited tone as he and all the main subordinates were drooling after looking at the stash.

"Buckle up boys... Time to level up!"
