Two weeks passed since Kahn won the Emperor's Chosen competition and rightfully became the new Sovereign of the Verlassen mountain range.
As per traditions, a grand coronation ceremony was held and in front of the entire Rakos Empire, Kahn was officially appointed as the new ruler of this part of the empire.
He was legally given all the rights and took an oath just like a Crowned Prince inheriting the position of the Emperor.
A grand celebration was held by the government throughout the empire and their generosity as well as support to Kahn, the new Emperor's Chosen was displayed to the masses.
At the night, a great banquet was held and all the top officials of the government, clan leaders of the most influential clans, heads of the biggest business corporations, honorary ranked officers of the military and the leaders of the free folks aka the political figures.
Many Saints and their respective forces tried to make friends with Kahn as he was now the owner of the biggest reserve of the mana ore and monster-related materials in the empire.
Yet the real truth that no one from the public could see was that all of the people present in the banquet actually abhorred him and already started conspiring against him… including the Pureblood faction after Kahn had basically given them a middle finger by choosing this region.
"Start pulling out our people and officials from the Verlassen mountain range one by one from all the cities and government sectors.
This kid thinks he can run a fiefdom of that scale on his own. Let him gloat for a few days..
After that, he will come crying and beg all of us to give him support." spoke some of the clan leaders and top officials.
Just then, the three faction leaders entered the conversation while Kahn was surrounded by people coming to greet him.
"It's too early. Let him play for a few months. Then we will make our move." spoke Stalin, the faction leader of the Neutral Faction.
"I don't understand, sir…" spoke a minister of the parliament.
Just then, Allister interjected and explained.
"Why appear as his enemy? Instead, we can make an example out of him about how those who do not come from a proper background like a noble faction or military house; do not possess skills to rule a fiefdom or any part of the empire as matter of fact.
And once everything goes according to our plans.. The public of the empire itself will label him as an incompetent sovereign and we will be justified to take away his position." spoke the old vampire who himself was disappointed and angry after Kahn had pulled a UNO reverse card on him in the finale.
Then Jeremiah, the old elven saint spoke in a condescending tone..
"No matter how talented he is.. A warrior and a king are not the same breed. He will make a fool out of himself and we won't even have to raise a finger.
So let him receive all the attention for now.
The higher he rises… the greater his fall will be."
[Only if I had a skill that could read thoughts.. I would know what those fuckers are planning.] thought Kahn as he greeted another minister with a smile on his face.
But unbeknownst to all of them, Kahn had already planned his moves and knew that soon, he would have to run the whole place on his own.
Kahn earned 3140 trillions aka 3.14 quadrillion gold coins after gathering all the wealth from the competition. Although it wasn't remotely as big as the earnings made by the top three noble factions.. He had cost all the other two factions who bet on Kassandra a big chunk of their wealth and profits by winning the match.
And he was certain that soon, these people were going to create problems for him one way or another. So rather than waiting like an idiot.. He was going to place his cards as soon as he went to the capital of Verlassen mountain range and assumed command.
In a way, it was going to be him against the government, noble clans, military officials and factions very soon.
But rather than becoming afraid, Kahn with his business mind saw this as the biggest opportunity for a major expansion.
He had already learned all the important history about this part of the empire and how it functioned.
Verlassen Mountain Range had a total of 187 million normal citizens spread across thousands of cities. While it was guarded by nearly 48 million soldiers that were comprised of normal soldiers and ones sent by the three factions as part of a pact made between them separately.
This part of the empire was basically a warzone and a lot of wealth was spent by the government in the name of military management, provisions and maintaining order because of the annual monster tide. But from the intel Kahn received..
This was one of the most corrupt regions as only the powerful people with connections ruled over here while the shallow management cost only the lives of honest soldiers and innocent citizens.
And millions of heinous criminals throughout the empire such as serial killers, rapists, murderers and those who have committed unspeakable crimes were sent here after receiving a death sentence and forcefully admitted in the military and told to fight against the monster tide.
Everything was about hunting the resources of the inner areas that were spammed with unimaginable and insanely strong monsters that were still unheard of to most of the empire. Here, existed the type of monsters and species that Kahn hadn't even read about or seen in any dungeon either.
In terms of resources, harvesting rare materials from monsters and given how their uses directly affected many professions and businesses of the empire which led to this region playing an important part in the economy, it was no different than a treasure trove.
But because of the restrictions of no Saint being able to enter here.. The best warrior they could send was a semi-saint. But given the power struggle in the capital.. There were only 6 other semi-saints with war experience of decades stationed here.
And 3 of which were sent by the three noble factions while only 3 were the native commanders who controlled it and actually fought for the lives of the citizens while the ones sent by the factions who were there just to display the support in the eyes of the public.
But it was mentioned that most of them had abused their authority from time to time as per the secret intel he gathered by Ronin after Kahn decided on Verlassen mountain range before the finale.
Each one of these saints lead six different fronts and held command of their own armies.
Yet the reason why the Verlassen region was added to the list of fiefdoms available to be chosen was because the government wanted to appear fair and just and pretend to give its native citizens hope for a better future.
And after Kahn chose this region… he was going to be the biggest authority and the ultimate ruler even if none of them wanted to.
Kahn on the other end saw nothing but opportunities for both the Bloodborne company and Seven Deadly Sins for a grand expansion.
And meanwhile.. He would also clean the scums who were plaguing the management and playing with normal people's lives to rule as its proper sovereign.
Many new challenges were awaiting him. But Kahn knew one thing in his bones that once he settled down there properly…
HE WILL BE UNTOUCHABLE.
