Hero of Darkness

ted after the talk, no longer dwelling in the happenings of the day.

He didnt even care to find out why he was framed or how things happened the way they did.
To him, it seemed like a good idea to move on.
Or else, it would drag him down emotionally for too long.

[Master..
Youre so cruel.
I like it!] spoke Ronin in Kahns head.

[Just smile and wave, boys.
Smile and wave.]

Replied Kahn after he put Sirius in an emotional state.

[So effective.
At this rate, he will become very grateful to you my lord.
Not only did you become his savior, but also someone who shared personal feelings with.] said Omega telepathically through Hive Mind skill.

Kahn quickly replied back to the subordinates in his head in a coy tone.

[Thats how you brainwash people into becoming dependent on you.

He will remember this conversation for some time.
And later, I will hit the final nail in the coffin.] replied Kahn.

He didnt bother telling the subordinates that he was talking about his previous life in reality.

Im not going to lie.
I dont expect you to be loyal to me just because we saved you from todays incident.
I hope that I become someone worth following in your eyes.
Till then..
All you have to do is follow my orders.

For now, I will give a million gold coins as your monthly salary and a 1% share of the annual profits my company makes.
So what do you say? said Kahn as he placed the terms of employment with an exorbitant salary from the get-go.

W..
W..
What?! exclaimed Sirius in disbelief.

[Even the salary I was previously getting was only one thousand gold coins! This sir is offering me thousand times more salary!

Im not dreaming right?!] thought Sirius.

I accept! I will serve you for the rest of my life! pledged Sirius vehemently.

This was a godsend opportunity for someone like him who was dealt with a bad hand since birth, let it being born in poverty or having a weak body since childhood.

Sirius, who feared for his future at the moment because of what happened today, felt like all the misfortunes he suffered through till now were finally going away.

As for why Kahn wanted to hire him? It was only because of the empathy for him but he had to set up backup plans for the future.

Whether Kahn liked it or not, his participation in this tournament would definitely create plenty of new enemies and then, Kahn couldnt afford to get the Bloodborne company getting implicated.

And in case he or the subordinates were not present, he needed someone to be his replacement.

And Sirius who was in turmoil was the best choice.
Kahn had already planned to brainwash him into becoming completely loyal to him in the future.

He was willing to invest in this new ally to create a trustworthy substitute for himself as a backup plan.

I hope you prove your worth during the competition.
spoke Kahn as he folded his arms.

Sir, youre participating in the competition? You dont look like a warrior, rather an heir of a conglomerate.
said Sirius as he stared at Kahn with a gaze of surprise.

Yes, I am.
And Im not some heir.
But a businessman myself.
I dont mean to brag but I can be counted in the top one thousand richest people in this empire.
said Kahn with a coy tone.

Then why? asked Siriuscuriously.

To his query..
Kahn replied with a benign smile.

Because Im a very greedy man.
