Hero of Darkness

Chapter 88: Repaying the Debt



Chapter 88: Repaying the Debt

The old nobleman introduced himself to the King of the Underworld. The tall demonkin was none other than the boss of several criminal organizations who controlled everything illegal in this city. Let it be black market, assassinations, kidnapping, slave trading.. All of it.

He had been holding that title for more than 10 years already and killed hundreds of people to reach there and hold his rule together.

His bodyguards and trusted men followed him inside and stood against the doors and windows.

"What does a nobleman want from someone like me? If not for you paying 50 thousand gold dramus, I wouldn't have even attended this meeting." replied the demonkin in a skeptical tone.

"Apologies, sir. It's just that we require your services and your connections. How would you feel about doing some business with the House Vivaldi?" spoke the old man who had a well-trimmed mustache and a beard.

GASP!

Everyone in the room gasped in surprise.

"House Vivaldi? What does the most powerful noble family of the city want from me? Didn't your factions declare a war on us years ago?" asked the demonkin as he sat on the sofa.

"The matters are very sensitive so I'm afraid we can't talk in presence of anyone else. However, I was told you show you this." said the old nobleman and directed his space ring at the middle of the hall and soon, a huge pile of golden coins appeared out of the space ring.

The entire room was filled with a golden glow and all the people including the boss was left speechless.

"Please consider this as a gesture of our sincerity and listen to our request because even the walls have ears. And the matters I want to talk about are better kept a secret." said the nobleman.

"Everyone, out!" ordered the demonkin to all his bodyguards. The amount of money that laid in the middle of the room was enough to make him understand that he was actually talking with a big shot of the Vivaldi clan & the matters were too important to be disclosed to his underlings.

The bodyguards left the room and the demonkin took a magic artifact that cast a silence barrier.

"No noise can leave this room now. Tell me what is it that you want to talk about with me?" asked the demonkin after he greedily looked at the heap of gold coins.

But just when he looked at the old man again, the nobleman's eyes sparked yellow and the demonkin felt like all his muscles had stopped moving.. He was paralyzed.

The nobleman didn't speak anything, he simply walked towards the demonkin, took a knife out of his space ring and cut the demonkin's throat very swiftly. The underworld boss didn't even see it coming that the frail nobleman was not someone who came to do business with him, rather make his life's final deal.

For the next 2 hours, there was no voice or anything that came out of the room but the guards kept a lookout on the door as part of their duty.

At this moment, an elderly wolfkin suffered the same fate as the demonkin.

"Now, the last target.." spoke a demonkin with blonde hair. There was a heap of gold coins in this room as well and nobody else but the two of them present inside this luxurious room of a mansion.

The blonde demonkin's figure flickered after he took all the gold coins and he disappeared from the spot as he merged inside a shadow.

When midnight came, inside a massive mansion, a white wolfkin dressed in businessman clothes stood inside a nobleman's office and a body of an elderly bald man lied in front of him.

But this time, there was a small hill of gold coins, far bigger than both the previous times.

"Idiots. Everyone lets their guard go as soon as you show them money." spoke the wolfkin. And took all the gold back in his space ring.

He opened the window and jumped down, mixing in the shadows and leaving without any trace behind.

The next morning, Kahn woke up from his sleep and started doing his weapons practices as usual. No one could've guessed that he killed three influential figures of the city in a single night.

Because his approach was exactly the opposite of what any assassin would ever choose.

And he used his newly acquired Metamorphosis bloodline to do the job.

Kahn already had absorbed the bloodlines of various species when he created the 6 Generals after killing the Groundhog adventurer team. Just that he never had any use of these bloodlines other than the skills of their particular job. But after acquiring the Metamorphosis bloodline from the 13th floor boss, he could finally make a good use of them.

Kahn entered as the representative of the Vivaldi clan to the underworld boss, the clan belonging to the leader of the nobles faction himself. He used the money to gain instant meeting and also presented riches and fortunes to make his targets to take him seriously so they'd be left alone to discuss private matters of such a massive deal.

He went as the representative of the underworld boss to talk the business with the president of the Business Federation and then as the Business Federation representative to talk about a beneficial trade with the head of the noble clan.

As soon as all of them saw the money, they thought of him as a goldmine and treated him seriously, ordering their bodyguards to leave them alone for private chats.

That way, nobody interfered when they were alone.

Because what good were Magic Formations and Protection Barriers if you allowed the killer to enter inside?

Kahn even stormed out when he found out that the noble faction leader still had people watching over them.. Saying that they have provoked the wrath of powers that stood behind him and there will be no dealings in the future.

His act played a major part and he took out the 3 targets easily.

This way, the witnesses and powers from these three sides will point fingers at each other and have a war on the outside while inside, there would be a clash for power & the position of the successor.

Kahn made sure that the assassinations looked like a standard one than leaving any specific pattern in them.

With this, he had repaid his debt.

When the night came, the Elven assassin met Kahn again and brought him a letter. Kahn read it and understood that the magistrate was extremely happy but also wanted to carry on their partnership.

In return, Kahn wrote a letter himself and sealed it inside an envelope, telling the assassin to only let the magistrate open it.

When the envelope reached the old Lionkin's hand.. The old man was furious but also felt a sense of dread and threat after reading the contents.

The letter from Kahn wasn't anything long but only a few lines..

"The debt is paid. Do not try to blackmail me or I'll come for your head next."
