As soon as Zeus and his subordinates revealed their intentions, everyone present in the room came to a certain realization. That Zeus never had any intentions to give any of them that much freedom, to begin with. And like ignorant morons, they thought rejecting his offer was a viable choice. "Some people really don't know what's good for them. If they can't even understand the gravity of the situation… how can they be useful for the long run? I was only testing whether all of you were deserving of my trust. But despite offering everyone a once-in-a-lifetime deal, many were still incapable to see the bigger picture. Anyway… now that we have fewer people to worry about, how about we discuss the new terms of our contract?" asked Zeus in an ominous tone. This was his plan from the very beginning. To test who was at least smart enough to understand that there was more than meets the eye and hence chose to not reject his offer right away. To Kahn, he couldn't leave the fiefdom's crime syndicate in the hands of morons so he had Omega takes care of more than four hundred of these people in a flash. The Magic Swordsman subordinate had been honing his katana fighting skills like a Samurai for a long time and wanted to display the progress to his master anyway. And this was a perfect opportunity given how not only Kahn but everyone present in the grand hall was out of words. Omega was simply too fast for any of them to even see and other than Kahn, not even Oliver and Jugram could see his top speed. Omega's speed and accuracy as a swordsman were simply too terrifying. And if other subordinates were to fight him.. Even they would have to be afraid for their life because he was an opponent they couldn't even see unless he allowed them to. As for Kahn himself… everything was going just as he planned a long time ago. Under the name of the People's Court, he ruled and controlled the government and military after planning 10 steps ahead. And using the prisoners sent from the corners of the empire, he created a force of his own to impose the law and order which helped in working on a grand scale he had never operated on before. And after gaining the support from the citizens themselves… he became a figure whose authority and motives couldn't be questioned by anyone as it would be considered blasphemy. But there were still two sectors that he needed to control with his own hands. And one of them was the Underworld of the Verlassen fiefdom. So using the Covenant & People's Court as his means, he took out all the ruling heads after Omega, Oliver, Jugram played as the rich customers and the Stark Brothers found out all the headquarters of thousands of criminal organizations. Because one way or another, the crime never ended no matter how good the ruler was. Kahn wasn't an idiot to believe that just because he put 100 guys in jail or even executed them, other people will let go of their greed and ambitions. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn. And undoubtedly, they'd soon become an eyesore for him and his authority. Plus, after seeing the merits of running Seven Deadly Sins in Rukon District in the capital, which greatly aided him in expanding his reach, connections, wealth, especially during the Emperor's Chosen competition.. Kahn knew it was a sector he just couldn't ignore. Hence, gathering all the top figureheads of the underworld that he himself dismantled in one place; he was going to upgrade his crime syndicate from level 1 to directly level 10. Soon, he'd be an undisputed ruler of the underworld as Zeus while he ruled the fiefdom in broad daylight as Kahn. This was also something necessary for the next and final phase of his plans. Under the fearful gazes of the remainder of the people, Zeus took out the Blood-oath token that baffled everyone and now.. All of them felt like their fates were completely sealed. After the blood-oath token ritual is performed under the terrifying and deathly auras of these several powerful beings which carried till the next morning, Kahn made all of them as his slaves and distributed what criminal organizations and which area they'd control. So in simple words.. He had the government, military and now the underworld in the palm of his hands within just one month of this arrival to his fiefdom. ---------------- The next after Kahn returned to his castle, he held another meeting between the generals and started discussing his next move. "So when is he coming?" asked Kahn to Ronin. "In 4 days, my lord. We should be done preparing everything by then as well." reported the rogue general. "Good. After his arrival, not only we can control the arms distribution sector of the fiefdom but also have complete hegemony over the military and government. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂 Plus with the rising numbers of Covenant soldiers, we need more supplies every day and waiting for the shipments from the capital is rather inconvenient." said Kahn while he was seated on his throne. "Yes, master. Compared to the capital, we won't have to spend any money on resources or raw materials here because everything is already under our control. And we don't even have to answer to anyone about where all the resources were used or company did we assign to manage them and for what reason." spoke Omega as he nodded. Kahn then slightly grinned and then further evaluated the next phase of their plans. Because despite gaining control over all these sectors of the fiefdom, there was still a need to rule another sector that was extremely profitable and important if he truly wanted to become the sovereign of this place. Kahn let out a sinister smile and spoke in an excited tone as he revealed the next and the final stage of his plans. "Time to control the Economy."
