Hero of Darkness

A silence ensued in the room as soon as Kahn made the declaration.
About how their company in particular was being targeted by someone with a lot of power and authority.

”Do you know anything about it? ” asked Kahn to Szayel who had secretly visited them for the meeting.

The reason why Kahn asked the vampire clan heir to come for this meeting was because it was already established that their company had the support of the Vandereich clan since their clan leader himself came to the opening ceremony.

And if someone was intentionally trying to put them out of business despite knowing who were the backers of the Bloodborne company..
That meant the opposition itself had the galls to pick a fight with one of the strongest clans in the entire empire.

And Kahn ’s company was under someone ’s hit list who didn ’t fear the wrath of the pureblood faction.
He was just collateral damage in the process.

Although Kahn knew that it would happen in the future..
But he never expected it to happen in just two weeks and that too with such intensity.

And that ’s exactly why he contacted the young vampire through the jade medallion given by the vampire lord.

”I ’m as clueless as you are.
This reaction is too quick and out of the norm.
No different than a declaration of war against our faction. ” spoke Szayel.

”And here I thought you ’d know something.
Given how they even threatened the majority of our rich customers..
If they can force such big organizations who already have a lot of power in their hands; by no means they ’re a nobody.

This is an enemy I ’m not capable of tackling by myself. ” spoke Kahn.

His customers weren ’t some no-names.
But to make them back down from the deal meant that whoever it was, they clearly had the backing and power from someone standing at the pinnacle.

”Could it be the doing of someone from the opposite factions like the Demi-Human faction ? ” asked Albestros as he rubbed his hand over the grizzly beard.

Kahn then looked at Szayel for an answer.

”No.
Can ’t be them either.
Although they ’re at odds with us..
They won ’t go so low to target a small business such as yours.
It makes no difference to them even if your business flourishes or gets buried in the ground. ” explained Szayel as he shrugged his arms.

”Hmm..
This is a very well thought and targeted approach.
If this continues..
We won ’t even last for the first month if these losses aren ’t recovered. ” said Kahn.

”I have a plan. ” suddenly, Jugram spoke as he stood up from his chair.

”Why don ’t we catch & interrogate one of these troublemakers.
About who sent them or who ’s targeting us? ”

”Reasonable.
But if we cause a commotion, it might affect the other customers.
It ’s like pouring oil into the fire. ” said Albestros.

”Well..
It ’s not like we are faring any better as things stand.
So let ’s go with your plan. ” approved Kahn and they kept planning their next move.

As the midnight moon shone in the sky, they all returned to their respective rooms.
Kahn & Szayel now stood in front of the gates as the vampire heir was ready to depart.

”Do it the way I told you.
Otherwise, our plan will fail.
It ’s a double-edged sword..
If you get caught, both of us will be in a lot of trouble. ” said Kahn.

Szayel nodded with an understanding gaze and departed with his small group of security guards using an epic rank teleportation scroll that could help them travel 200 kilometers in one go.

The next day, all their stores were open as usual and the company carried on the production of arms.
But this time..
Rather than sitting behind the desk, Kahn was going to administer one of the shops himself.

He, Omega & Jugram covered one of their shops each and waited in case there were to be another incident like the previous days.

At the time of the afternoon..
Just as they expected.
A quarrel between the shop staff and one of the customers happened.

A blonde and tall Elven woman with a bob-cut hairstyle stood against the counter.

”You bastards are selling this garbage and want us to pay our hard-earned money?!! ” shouted the well-endowed elven female.

With her loud voice, over 200 customers who were exploring the weapons and armors in the main hall were startled.

”I want to speak with the manager! ”

Tap! Tap!

A set of footsteps were heard as a young man walked into the main hall.

”What ’s happening here? ” asked Kahn to the red demonkin staff girl.

”Sir..
This lady here says that she bought a bow from us yesterday and it broke just in one day.
I ’ve already explained that after purchasing the product, we take no guarantee if someone breaks them in a fight. ” spoke the staff girl dressed in formal black and beige uniform.

Kahn then glanced at the woman causing the commotion.

”May I ask what ’s your name, madam? ” asked Kahn in a respectful tone.

”Karen. ” said the blonde, bob-cut hairstyle elven woman.

Facepalm! Kahn facepalmed himself and sighed.

[Should ’ve seen that coming.] he thought.

”Who are you? Don ’t waste my time and call whoever is in charge! ” shouted the elf archer dressed in lascivious clothes that revealed many openings in her green & yellow attire made for archers.

”Well..
I am the MANAGER. ” spoke Kahn in an authoritative tone.

”You? Someone so young who doesn ’t have a beard yet is running this place? No wonder you guys only sell trash. ” scoffed the elven archer.

”Show me the bow. ” said Kahn with an irritated face.

Nobody likes a Karen..
This lady was proving why.

Hundreds of other customers were watching at this moment, whispering amongst themselves.

Kahn took the bow in his hand and opened a strap of leather that was covering the part where you hold the bow while shooting an arrow.

Kahn ’s expression then turned grim.

”Bring me a bow from our side. ” ordered Kahn.

After a white snakekin staff member handed him a bow from the weapons shelf, Kahn pulled out the strap on the same spot.

There was a brand mark of two coiling dragons over a sword.
That was the logo of the Bloodborne company.

”This broken bow isn ’t made by our company.
There ’s always a logo hidden in every weapon we make. ” spoke Kahn, this time..
His tone was filled with anger.

”Lies! You ’re lying! ” shouted the elf.

”Frisk her! ” commanded Kahn to the security guards and the two of his master rank subordinates who were hidden within normal guards approached and apprehended the elven archer.
Without caring if she was a woman.

Kahn had no mood to quarrel with a planted troublemaker.

Before she could shout, the spear user subordinate closed off Karen ’s mouth and they dragged her away.

Kahn then looked at the remaining customers who were staring at him like they were looking at a criminal.

”Apologies, ladies and gentlemen.
We do not tolerate those who intensionally come here to cause trouble & ruin the mood for other customers.
I hope you can carry on your exploring. ” spoke Kahn and went inside the shop.

In an enclosed room, Karen was strapped to a chair by the subordinates.
Kahn walked in with a grim expression on his face.
The subordinates then exited the room and closed it from outside.

”I don ’t have time for chitchat so let ’s get straight to the point.
Who sent you? ” asked Kahn in a domineering tone.

”What do you think you ’re doing? You think I won ’t.. ”

SLAP!

A crisp sound of a slap filled the room as Kahn ’s furious eyes landed on the elf woman.

”Like I said..
I don ’t have time.
Now spill out the truth or the next one will hit even harder. ” he declared.

”You bastard! Don ’t you have any shame to hit a woman! ”

SLAP!!

Another slap landed on Karen ’s face.

”The Slap of Justice doesn ’t discriminate between genders. ” he said.

”Motherfucker! ” shouted the woman in a shrill tone.

SLAP!!

This time..
She almost felt the world around her spinning as another crisp slap hit her beautiful face.

”Looks like you don ’t understand how I am being very polite to you, miss Karen. ”

He spoke and held her chin.

”Oh my..
Have I ruined your pretty face? ” he asked while grinning.

Karen on the other hand looked at him very furiously..
But she didn ’t dare to curse or retort lest another slap came from the young man.

”Like hell I ’m gonna tell you.. ” spoke Karen as she stared at him with vengeful eyes.

”Oh..
Then I should use another method I see.. ” spoke Kahn and held her chin up again with his right hand.

Boom!!

Kahn released War Dominance aura and instantly froze Karen on the spot with his murderous and chaotic pressure.

This wasn ’t even half of his aura but Karen felt like she was pressured under a mountain.

He came close to her face and whispered in her long ear.

”You know..
I have a thing for Elven women.
So I think it ’s about time I fully enjoy one. ” spoke Kahn in a sadistic tone.

His fingers that held the chin then caressed her lips as he gave a lecherous smile to Karen.

His other hand then reached down from her neck and his forefinger slowly moved downwards towards her big and tall mountains and stopped in between the valley that separated them.

Karen on the receiving end was shuddering in fear and her body had goosebumps all over it.
She looked at Kahn as if she was staring at an executioner..
But no words could come out of her mouth.

”Ma..
es..
tro..
Weapon enterprise. ” spoke Karen in her jittery tone.
She was scared to death just with his aura full of bloodlust.

”See..
Wasn ’t too hard was it.. ” spoke Kahn and quickly returned to old calm and collected demeanor.

There was no lustful expression on his face..
But rather one full of scorn.
He used his immense pressure and the sexual harassment trick to scare Karen to death and feel the sense of impeding danger to her life and her body at the same time.

Kahn then spoke with a sinister smile on his face..

”This is what happens when you ask to speak to the manager. ”
