Hero of Darkness

d you, it has to be in a large quantity or there ’s no point.
We don ’t do chummy change deals like a few small quantity herbs and ores.
It has to be big enough. ” said Nikola.

He was simply being honest with Kahn as small trade was done in small pawn shops, not in a business enterprise.

Kahn nodded and let out a small chuckle.

”Will this much do? ” said Kahn and emptied half the contents of the new space ring on the open space inside the office.

THUD! CLANG! CRRRR!

Things after things, materials after materials started piling up on the empty space and half of the office was full of rare herbs, monster bodies and metal ores.

Nikola was flabbergasted and almost was paralyzed on the spot.

”You..
Where did you get all these?! It ’s no different than what we deal in an entire week! ” Nikola exclaimed in surprise.

”No point in hiding from you, so I ’ll tell you the truth.
I hunted half of these while the other half came from the people who died in the dungeon and I robbed them of their belongings and whatever materials they had on their space rings. ” said Kahn and sat on the chair next to Nikola ’s table.

”So what do you think? Big enough to make a deal? I only want the price you ’d generally give to any of your traders or suppliers.
You can make off the extra profit by selling these in your stores & weapon shops.
Not a bad deal, right? ” said Kahn as he suggested the old merchant to go with his proposal.

Nikola ’s eyes flickered and a greedy look appeared on his face.
What Kahn offered was indeed a very good deal for him.

”Deal! ” said Nikola and nodded in agreement.

”I ’ll only need some time to calculate all of these products and their cost.
Don ’t worry, I ’ll give you a fair price. ” said Nikola.

”Okay then.
I ’ll trust you on that.
But remember, there ’s more coming.
So you better not rob me off, old man. ” Kahn said and laughed.

”Aye, if you can bring more materials & resources like these..
Then I ’ll often make these deals with you. ” said Nikola.

He was a merchant at the end of the day.
He knew what kind of deal was profitable for him and what kind of people he should make deals with.
His impression of Kahn was very good since the time he had come to know him so he indeed found Kahn to be a trustworthy person.

”I ’ll come back in the evening.
Give me the money then.
I ’m going to dungeons again and will bring more materials soon. ” said Kahn and bid his farewell to the old merchant.

As for why he decided to sell these materials to Nikola and not keep them to himself? Because he wasn ’t an idiot!

Many of the contents of the space ring were high-quality resources and someone from the Scarlet Lion adventurers team would definitely look for them.
Kahn would be keeping a ticking bomb in his pockets if he kept all that with him.

So he displayed half of it to Nikola as showing all of them would even scare the old man and he ’d ask too many questions about the origin of the materials.

Plus, Nikola and his Black Griffin merchant enterprise was the best place for Kahn to sell as he knew that the old man who was grateful to Kahn for saving his life certainly won ’t cheat his savior.
And most importantly, since they did business in all sectors; Nikola would easily distribute the materials in various shops owned by them.

This way, nothing would lead back to Kahn and no one from the Scarlet Lion team would guess that their fortune was being sold legally; and not on the black market either.

Kahn decided that it was time he tested his new strength and improved his skills and weapon mastery.
Also, this was the best way he could use to explain how he got all those materials while raising his subordinate ’s levels and ability ranks.

Kahn went to the adventurer association again and bought another dungeon pass.
This time, he went in as an assassin.

He had a clear goal now.
Forget the lame low-tier mobs.
Kahn was extremely disappointed in the Silver Kobold floor boss.
What he needed now was high-grade monster cores, lots of high rank & rare skills.

Kahn knew that he no longer had to play the small game if he wanted to gain strength, fame, money and authority.
From now on, everything he ’d do should make it to the headlines and become the talk of the city.

Because being an underdog would never help him the way he wanted in his path of Power & Domination.

So fuck being an underdog..
He was going to become a goddamn Tyrant!
