Chapter 208: The Preparations

One week pa.s.sed after his reunion with Szayel. Kahn now had a different set of priorities given the fact that he was finally done with establishing himself in the capital, had no need to worry about money, resources and even had the backing of some of the top clans and Saint rank figures behind him.

To the current him, it was already more than enough as his goal wasn"t to trample the heavens but to create a safe-haven for himself where he could be without worries about the things he thought he needed when he came to Rathna three months ago.

Most of it involved him getting targeted & having to face economical pressure. And after the incident with the Vandereich clan, Kahn was now a wiser person to not even trust his closest of friends.

He had done this mistake with Arkham & Solomon once and now the clan leader of the vampire clan cemented that lesson in his mind.

And the other lesson was that even sparing innocent lives from the enemy side had its consequences. It was either you or them.

Now Kahn didn"t even trust the people who worked for him, let it be in his company or his house.

In the past week, he had been making arrangements for the much-needed break he wanted.

Ceril & Omega were now introduced to the company management as the only two people who were authorized to make decisions and approve any big transactions.

The teams of people in logistics and management were ordered to report everything to them since both of them were free and no longer had different places to handle.

Currently, Ceril handled the new main headquarters, Jugram & Omega handled the other branches and also acted as the main powerhouse to protect it.

To his surprise, Ceril who was a necromancer by profession was extremely quick to study & catch up with how the way of business worked. Just like magic, he was becoming very efficient in processing and handling doc.u.ments and transactions as if he too inherited Kahn"s eidetic memory.

Ronin on the other hand was left in charge of Kahn"s new mansion which was named as the Wayne Manor by Kahn for reasons unknown. And Alfred, his main butler who got the job as soon as Kahn heard the name, was in charge of acting as his main attendee and one who managed the property with the highest authority in case Kahn & his subordinates were not present.

Armin, the subordinate with a Legendary Cla.s.s who also had Alchemy & Healing abilities finally gained access to tons of resources and medicinal ingredients after Kahn spent millions of gold coins and bought them for him.

Kahn knew that Omega & Six Generals were no longer just brainless subordinates who abided by his commands without thinking twice. All of them had sentient will now and they were evolving as a living beings with each pa.s.sing day, having their own thought process and personality traits.

But since the master himself was an amalgamation of peculiar personality traits and different tastes… no way would his creations be normal.

Omega was a sword freak who only cared about practicing and perfecting his sword skills. Ceril was a s.a.d.i.s.tic creep who just wanted to study and experiment with dead bodies by cutting them whenever he had free time.

Jugram was a musclehead and like his job cla.s.s, he thrived on discipline and strength. He would often put all the security personnel in a strong practicing regime like some military drill Sergent.

Ronin was a quiet person but actually liked collecting information on everyone and everything around him. Unlike Kahn, he was so cautious that he asked Kahn to give him 200 a.s.sa.s.sins and deployed them in the shadows of all the people who worked in their mansion and security.

And the biggest freak out of all of them was Armin. The seemingly harmless and kind-looking guy was actually a maniac who studied Alchemy recipes, potions and tried to create new types of poisons.

But what made Kahn facepalm himself was that for testing all these new recipes & poisons.. Armin was using himself as a test subject.

Since he had tons of SSS rank healing skills and even a legendary rank ability that could bring back someone from death if used under certain conditions such as a short time after death and body being intact, he was suffering and learning through trial and error by himself.

Like how a mad scientist would sacrifice their own body and mind for the sake of proving their research right.

The only ones left were Blackwall, Oliver & Rudra.

In the past week, Kahn made the arrangements and set up an office full of transmission artifacts that covered 300 kilometers of distance, all of them connecting him to all the main offices and shops should something of importance came up and he needed to be informed about it as soon as possible. More like a direct command base from where he would send out orders to his people.

So Kahn was finally free to put time into studying magic. Something that was far more important but so far, neither did he have the free time nor he had enough resources required for it.

And since he wasn"t a 15 year old kid anymore, he didn"t want to waste his time by joining a magic academy in the capital. He had enough confidence in himself that given enough time and practice, he would be able to increase his skills and proficiency just like he did with his swordsmanship.

Although he was jack of all trades and master of none.. This also entailed that he could reach the top in all of them.

And the main reason he thought so was because he had the biggest helper that no one else, not even the rest of the heroes summoned in this world had.

And that was the Weapon Mastery & Combat Technique mastery blessings given by the War Deity himself.

Contrary to his previous beliefs, the Combat Technique mastery blessing was also applicable for magical skills and spells than just physical attacks.

All he needed was proper knowledge & understanding of magic itself and he could soar through the sky in months while it took others nearly decades.

Kahn now stood in his new study room and took nearly 40 books out of his s.p.a.ce ring.

These were exactly the books he found in the s.p.a.ce ring of the semi-saint rank elf magician who tried to kill him in Flavot city, Solomon Elfenheim.

The elven mage who spent two centuries studying and gathering useful books and resources related to magic, ultimately gifted Kahn the top-grade archives people studying magic would never get their hands on in their lifetime.

Kahn took a deep breath and grabbed a violet cover book, the cover itself gave piqued Kahn"s curiosity as soon as he read the t.i.tle…

THE TRUE MEANING OF MAGIC.
