Hero of Darkness Chapter 521: First Meeting

Chapter 521: First Meeting

As soon as Kahn revealed the Whitlock family, the imperial family of Rakos empire's treasures in front of so many people…

The first emperor and the once peak saint cursed Kahn loudly in his head.

Kahn was showing all these chests and crates filled with diamonds, rubies and invaluable treasures that his subordinates robbed from Imperial Castle inside the final barrier in the forbidden region.

And these weren't even the 10% of what he had in his s.p.a.ce ring.

As for why Kahn was settling the bidding using these… because all the hard money he had in gold coins was in dramus, the currency of the Rakos empire. And he had no single coin called Harlen since he was new to this empire.

But what he offered was indeed rarer and more alluring even to the top rich folks of this city named Oslom.

"What in the eternal flames of Hetrax!... How does he have so much wealth?!" exclaimed the dwarven n.o.ble.

"This… these gems and treasures are too rare.

I think after appraising it… it will be more than 40 trillion harlen!" exclaimed one of the rich customers.

"Wh… who is your client again?" asked the auctioneer woman and many of the attendees also wanted to know about the ident.i.ty of this immensely wealthy tyc.o.o.n.

"Like I said before, it goes against our rules to reveal the ident.i.ty of a client." replied Kahn in a subtle voice.

"You there!" suddenly, he heard a voice from his back.

It was none other than Venessa who was seated in a corner while being surrounded by her commanders.

She signaled Kahn to come towards her.

Kahn then slowly walked towards Venessa and bowed in the same way as everyone did previously.

Gasp!

Gasp!

But for some unknown reason, many of the people gasped in shock instead.

"The audacity of this human!" spoke one of the attendees.

"He dares bow and not kneel in front of a Fireborne?!!" bellowed the n.o.ble dwarf in a s.h.i.+rt made of gold.

[Ah, f.u.c.k! What kind of f.u.c.ked up thing is happening here? Why are there so many social customs?] asked Kahn to himself as he had no idea why he was being ostracized since the moment he bid for the body.

"Shhh! Don't be loud, Princess Venessa herself is a half-human." spoke a foxkin who stood behind the dwarf.

"Hmph! She only took after her human mother's appearance. But she's a true Royal Fireborne.

Yet that miscreant dares show this shameful conduct. That's no different than standing up against the imperial family." retorted the dwarf.

At this moment, Venessa had a curious look as she examined Kahn from head to toe.

His face, build, clothes and the confidence he had while being unafraid of everything… piqued her curiosity.

"What's your name? And who is this client you speak of?" she asked without getting angry.

"It's Kahn Salvatore, your highness." spoke Kahn in a respectful tone.

[What the h.e.l.l is happening?! Why did I suddenly reveal my real name to her?!] exclaimed Kahn in his mind.

[Careful boy! She has a sandhed charm! It makes you speak the truth if you don't know about its existence.] informed Rathnaar.

[This crafty woman! She only looks beautiful, but her brain is that of a witch!] cursed Kahn who was just moments away from revealing how there was no client in the first place.

[I'll take care of this.] said Rathnaar and cast a triangle-shaped formation with a big eye in it.

[I have dispelled the charm effect. Don't get us caught here, boy. You can't afford to be found out here.] said Rathnaar.

"To be honest, your highness. Even I don't know their true ident.i.ty. I was only tasked with buying this body and given this s.p.a.ce ring filled with these treasures." spoke Kahn in a humble tone as he lied.

Because making up a random name would ensure that they'd enquire about that person even more and will blow up their cover.

.

So saying that even he didn't know about their ident.i.ty was the best way to not raise unnecessary questions.

"Well, if your highness doesn't like our offer… I shall take my bid back. I don't think either I or my client would prefer to trouble your highness if their ident.i.ty is that important to you." said Kahn in a gentle tone.

"No!" exclaimed Venessa and quickly controlled her demeanor.

"Since you're paying that much… I'll let your transgression go. But be careful in the future…

Other members of the imperial clan are not as forgiving as I am." spoke Venessa.

It wasn't for herself but for the deceased soldiers and their families that she was going through this unnecessary trouble.

More. Money meant that they'd receive more compensation as well. So Venessa let go of her pride and chose to not stretch the issue.

Because she could take these treasures and through the right channels, she could receive even more money that 40 trillion by selling them somewhere else.

After Kahn's bid… no one raised another one because they simply didn't have enough money on hand.

And finally, Kahn luckily won the body of the jatvuarym after so many risks he took. If not for Rathnaar being an expert, Kahn's lack of knowledge about this empire's customs and artifacts would've thrown off his disguise.

And soon, the whole Vulcan empire would be searching for him.

Kahn bowed again respectfully and delivered the treasure to Venessa's people.

Swoos.h.!.+

Suddenly, a black shadow pa.s.sed under one of the crates filled with money that Venessa's people handed to the Oslo auction house as 5% of their share of the deal.

Just by using this one bidding, they earned 2 trillion harlen and all they did was act as a mediator between the seller and the buyer.

[All of you! Tail this man. There's something suspicious about him.] ordered Venessa telepathically to her people through an artifact.

As for Kahn… he was overjoyed to get this legendary rank creature whose bloodline was something he desperately needed for future use.

As for the money he paid for it… Kahn had plans to double his gains.

Kahn looked back at the departing figure of this princess with a royal fireborne bloodline.

Little did they both know… that this first meeting of theirs…

Was going to change both of their lives.
