Hero of Darkness

Chapter 48: Mixing with the Elite

Kahn took a deep breath and entered the large hall. Although he was feeling awkward a bit inside, he still maintained his confident look and looked approachable.

He grabbed a glass of wine and greeted the organizers. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered and started to look around; some of the guests approached him and greeted & formally introduced themselves to Kahn.

Kahn didn't have any problems getting mixed up among these reputed and influential people as one would expect because at the moment, his reputation was at its peak.

"I've long heard the renounced name of yours, mister Kahn. And I hope to cooperate with you on many things in the future if you have time." spoke one of the well-dressed guests who displayed proper etiquette and demeanor of a well-mannered individual.

"Pleased to meet you as well. And I do appreciate you being direct about it than beating around the bush. I like such type of person the most." joked Kahn and started a friendly conversation.

As a grain of sugar was in front of them, many of the guests started swarming like a group of ants towards Kahn and tried to make his acquaintance before others had a chance.

Soon, there was one side of the hall that was filled with dozens of people making pleasant and praising remarks to Kahn while he greeted them politely and replied with utmost respect like someone belonging to an Aristocrat background.

But to some younger men in the crowd, the sight was displeasing because who didn't like attention and gain recognition of the masses. Especially for the ones belonging to the upper class of society. Something such as power, reputation and respect is what they yearned for most.

The nail hit the coffin when many young and beautiful girls and some extremely gentle looking women adorned in lavish clothes started paying attention to Kahn and even gave occasional flirting remarks, praising his extremely masculine body and handsome face.. This even made Kahn feel shy occasionally because who didn't appreciate compliments from the opposite gender?

Kahn kept a polite smile on his face and laughed in response, showing a welcoming attitude to these young and gorgeous women.

"Eh, what's so good about killing a bunch of braindead monsters? And since when can a Commoner be better than those from Noble clans?" spoke a young and round-faced man among the guests. His voice was was loud enough to reach every corner of the hall.

"Yes. I believe he didn't even kill those minotaurs by himself and had help from others. All those rumors seem like nothing but a sham to me." complained another noble heir among this crowd, adding fuel to the fire.

But unlike some Beta main character, Kahn wasn't the type of guy who'd allow others to talk down on him or let such remarks slide if somebody specifically targeted him.

"I feel like if you gentlemen have some misgivings about me.. May I know why?" asked Kahn in response, his voice was loud enough to reach everyone's ears.
