Chapter 544 The Reasoning

After the carriages were hijacked, the subordinates quickly opened the doors that were magically sealed off with their brute force alone. 

Soon, dozens of assassins clad in proper gear exited the carriages and in their hands, were the half-dead human servants and waiters from the recent onslaught. 

These assassins were actually part of his legion who had been hiding in the shadows of these people from days after they were commissioned to work at the event held by the second prince. 

"Armin!" spoke Kahn and without further orders, Armin took out a crate filled with high-grade health and stamina recovery potions. 

Many more assassins jumped out of Kahn's shadow and started tending to the victims as they poured down these potions into their mouths of these victims. 

Armin on the other end cast his chain healing spells and now that he was a legendary rank creature himself… all his spells and abilities were many times more effective than before. 

Vines appeared from the ground and wrapped themselves around the broken bones and dislocated body parts. 

What he was trying to do here was heal them all at once even if it meant giving them instantaneous pain before the potions and his skills healed them. 

"Arrrrhhh!!" 

"My arm!!" 

Wounds started closing, bleedings stopped and the shattered bones were forcefully pulled to their original positions by these vines and the assassins who followed Armin's commands through their telepathy link. 

An hour passed and most of the victims were out of danger. Armin's skills were so unique to the point that even the teeth that fell off regrew themselves in half an hour. 

However, mending bones and growing their teeth back were extremely and excruciatingly painful at the same time so the majority of them had passed out during the procedure.

Luckily… no one had died and Kahn heaved a sigh of relief. 

[What the hell was that, boy?! You were too careless! 

If these people had died, it would be our fault!] shouted Rathnaar at Kahn. 

"What the hell was I supposed to do then? Interfere and fuck up everything?! 

I was simply sticking to the plan you created. 

But how the hell was I supposed to know that sadist bastard liked to torture and kill humans in such gathering?" he retorted. 

"We were only there to monitor things and find something incriminating. Not play some savior or a revolutionary.

And you're the one to talk. You have the blood of millions of people on your hands as well. So why are you trying to patronize me?" he complained. 

[In a war, it's killed or be killed. Everybody understands that. 

But these people aren't soldiers, they're just normal people trying to make a living. 

They don't deserve this.] replied Rathnaar in a discontent voice. 

[If you don't do something, I will forcefully take control. And you won't be able to stop me.] warned Rathnaar. 

Although Kahn wanted to talk back… there was nothing he could say. 

ρꪖꪁⅆꪖ ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​ Back then, they could've interfered before the whole beating session started. But Kahn stopped because he didn't have any incriminating evidence against the second prince or something that they could use in their favor. ρaꪁⅆa ꪁꪫꪚⅇ​ꪶ​

So he made a hard choice, the one he wasn't proud of but he felt necessary at that time. 

None of these people would've been on the verge of death but Kahn told himself that it was a necessary sacrifice. But he was aware that even that reasoning was just a lie to justify his actions. 

"If we directly interfered, they would've been killed on site as first priority. 

The bomb explosion put them in disarray and made evacuation as the first thing they focused on and thus, we could save them before they all died." clarified Kahn. 

"And if we killed the second prince, the whole empire would be after us and all these people would be treated as accomplices. 

Forget our plan working… Rogis would've been turned into a glorified martyr by the imperial family." said Kahn and walked towards the old bartender who suffered a lot of humiliation in his futile attempt to protect the others. 

He looked at the soundly sleeping old man who had passed out because of the immense pain but now he was stable. 

The assassins who previously hid inside this man's shadow gave him a recording artifact that had the whole footage that showed the true intentions of the second prince that he carelessly revealed to the old man thinking that they were all going to die anyway. 

"Your sacrifice won't go in vain, old man." spoke Kahn. 

"What about them?" asked Omega who had gathered the soldiers who fainted after Kahn released his saint pressure on them. 

"We will have to hand over the victims and their families to Venessa. They will be safe since she's a half-human.

As for these guards… it's better that she interrogates them and acts accordingly. I'm certain she has the means to make them talk." revealed Kahn. 

"As for that Rogis…" spoke Kahn and continued in a grim voice. 

"It's time we started phase two." 

----------------

In the next two days, the soldiers, as well as the human victims along with their families, had absconded into thin air and there wasn't a single clue left behind by Kahn's group. 

Kahn then took his getup of Red Hood and met Hector again inside the same villa and gave him the new recording. 

He then took changed his identity to Green Hood and met Venessa who had arrived in the capital. 

Kahn brought all the victims and their families to Venessa and also the soldiers that she was supposed to interrogate using an underworld organization that illegally transported people. 

However, both Hector and Venessa had the same train of thought. That using the footage was more worth it than spreading the news about Throk Oakenshield and his plight. 

In reality, that was indeed the truth but it would adversely affect Kahn's own plans. 

But Kahn then said that although it looked like it wouldn't affect their end goal by much… 

The Expert named Rathnaar Whitlock, aka the First Emperor of Rakos Empire already predicted this response.

So Kahn offered them an explanation and as soon as he was done… both Hector and Venessa had the same response in their meetings. 

"Let's do it!"
