Hero of Darkness

After the whole search and seizure session ended for the day, the whole capital heard the news and everyone came to know about Kahn's targets whom the battalions of covenant soldiers visited today. 

More than two hundred renowned business organizations and corporations that worked in various sectors let it be market, provision supplies, rations, jewelry or even transportation business were visited by these armed soldiers. 

And at the time of evening, Kahn himself made another broadcast in the capital addressing the issue. The reason he explained that these corporations did tax fraud, hoarded the resources in order to raise prices, used shell companies to hide their money and resources. 

One after another, Kahn presented the records that were confiscated by the covenant soldiers today and while doing so, he also mixed the evidence proving their crimes that were actually gathered by his assassins in secret. 

Most of the public was shocked to see that even the poor restaurant owners in their neighborhood were just pawns of these big organizations to funnel the black money and resources. 

This shook the normal hardworking class of the society as of them knew about how the whole corruption had been well established right before their eyes but they never suspected anything. 

But as a result, many also feared the aftereffects that would appear in near future on the economy. 

Yet, the fact that their sovereign was bringing out these unbelievable scams to them and creating a transparent rule for the commoners had won the hearts of many people again. 

—————-

The very next day, another meeting between the elites and the ruling class of the fiefdom was held. 

But this time… no one had a stuck-up or a haughty expression on their faces. Because unlike before, Kahn's new crusade had put half of them in jail and soon.. All those elites were going to be prosecuted in People's Court just like commander Aswala. 

Some of them had chosen to flee the Verlassen fiefdom while those who had too much to lose stayed behind.. Yet their resolve was shaken to the core just like the former. 

"What do we do now? He came up with all the proof of scams and below-the-table deals. 

Even the most secure places have been discovered by him regardless of the tight security. It's as if he planted his spies in our forces years ago. 

And those recordings he's showing in the broadcast are very recent as well as from well-guarded locations." spoke one of the business organizations chairman. 

Because the way Kahn was collecting the inside information, it appeared as if all of them had his spies hidden in their inner circle. Yet they never found anyone. 

But unbeknownst to them.. Kahn's assassins were already in the shadows of these top figureheads and while they were conducting these meetings, those same assassins were mixing with the people who were left out the last time. 

And each time any of them tried to hide their money and evidence… In reality, they themselves were helping Kahn's assassins to gather more evidence and video recordings as proof of their scams and implicating even more people who were connected in their misdeeds. 

This way, the amount of people Kahn kept getting evidence against keeps piling up every day.

The same scenario carried on for an entire week and now, Kahn had basically confined most of the top figureheads such as presidents, clan leaders and chairmen of these forces who heavily influenced the economy of the fiefdom while he on the other hand, kept confiscating all their money, resources and properties in the name of investigation. 

But since of them could even fight back and the Sovereign himself had gathered legit proof against them… there was no form of resistance they could put either. 

Kahn was the strongest person of the entire fiefdom and they were all criminals at the end of the day. With the authority and public support in his hands.. None could even retaliate against him. 

Because the members of the high court and several government sector heads themselves were afraid of him as there was a chance of Kahn bringing them into the People's Court and publicly execute them like the semi-saint commander. 

In other words… Kahn had simply grabbed them all by the throat and of them could even fight back unless they wanted to get publicly killed while their crimes were cited to the millions of citizens. 

And just like that, one more week passed by. 

The total amount of resources such as warships, flying ships and even armory such as weapons, magic artifacts, cannons, armors the covenant soldiers kept confiscating reached the point Kahn could equip an army of 50 million soldiers. 

The rations and armory were simply too much that even Kahn was dumbfounded. The amount of black money and resources these people had amassed was many times higher than his initial expectations. 

Just in one week, the money was already above 2 quadrillions… and these were not even half of the people he had on the hit list.

At the weekend, Kahn held another meeting between him and the general… with the addition of Elijah and Niklaus who also returned from completing the task that was given to them by their lord. 

Omega, Jugram, Oliver, Elijah & Niklaus who had particular secret missions of their own stood in front of Kahn and handed out their reports to Kahn.

"Good Job everyone. We have everything we need now. So it's time to begin the next phase of our plans." spoke Kahn in a content tone as he rested on his throne in the main hall. 

"What is it, if I may ask, my lord?" asked Elijah, the druid among the two Stark Brothers. 

"Thanks to you two and your grandfather's hard efforts, we can finally move with a better strategy and cover more ground. Now, I don't have to go after them one by one. 

We can take them all out in a single swoop." he replied with an excited expression. 

"I don't understand.. What is it we're talking about here?" asked Niklaus with a curious expression since he sensed a shift in their agreed plans that Kahn proposed when he visited their house that night. 

To his confused figure, Kahn only replied in a nonchalant tone as if they were going to do an easy task… 

"It's simple… We're going to topple the government."
