Hero of Darkness

Chapter 26: The Arrangement

The gigantic Basilisk was releasing his killing intent at Solomon like trying to challenge him for a deathmatch. He was a Mythical rank creature and finally found a good opponent to fight.

"See, That's why. I don't know what creature is hiding inside your shadow as your Familiar but I'm certain it is able to fight on even terms with me. Even Stragabor won't be able to kill you if you used that creature in a fight against him.

That's why I decided to hire you for this job in the first place.

I have no intentions of killing you or discarding you after the job is done. Why make Enemies when you can make Friends?" said Solomon in a sadistic & evil tone.

Kahn thanked his previous life experiences at the moment. Because both the men sitting in front of him weren't some saints and upright people who cared about Law & Justice like their previous demeanor made them look like throughout the entire day.

These were the real faces of both these elderly men. The Elven mage looked no different than someone who'd kill anyone to hold his power and authority intact and the elder man looked like someone who had bathed in a river of blood and grew numb to killings.

If this was the gullible Elric of his past life, he would've believed that these men had a right cause and would've agreed to help them like some idiot main character of some munchkin Manga & Novel made for the teen audience where every elderly figure who helped the protagonist was a trustworthy & kind old man for some reason.

This was the reason why they helped to get his name cleared of the murder accusation. They just wanted to have Kahn owe them a favor and reel him in their plan.

"Fine. But I have my conditions." said Kahn, the businessman inside of him waking from a long slumber.

"I want all the resources you can provide me for the job. Your people will bring me the intel on the targets and I'll finish the job in any way I see fit. As for the remunerations.. I want lots of high-grade monster cores, a lot of money and a small share in the bodies of rare monsters that have been hunted by adventurers & brought to the association for selling & salvaging. If there are five, then I want one." said Kahn as he put out the terms of their arrangement.

"Fine. We can manage that. But know that our deal is strictly based on what you deliver. If you fail in your tasks, then the deal is off." said Solomon with a calculative expression on his face.

Kahn responded in hurry again, "And one more thing."

"Now what? Aren't we already giving you a lot?" Arkham asked furiously.
