Chapter 523 – Money Heist

126 TRILLION HARLEN!

As soon as those words fell on Kahn’s ears… His expression turned ecstatic as if he was experiencing peak euphoria.

“Haha ha ha!

126 trillion harlens! I’m rich!!” exclaimed Kahn as he started laughing hysterically.

Just on the second day of his arrival, he was already a very rich man in an empire where he had no connections, knowledge or information at hand.

In Verlassen fiefdom, his net worth was 86 Quadrillion as its sovereign. But in this new land… this wealth was his day two income.

For a newcomer in town like him… this was a very good start.

So simply, in exchange for those treasures that cost him 40 trillion harlen, Kahn got both the body and the tripled hard currency like a Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer.

In his case, Buy 1 Get 3 for Free.

“Master, how much are we robbing?” asked Ronin.

“What do you mean by how much?” asked Kahn in return.

“Don’t tell me…” spoke Ceril on the side.

“Yes. We’re robbing all of it!” declared Kahn with a grin.

[Ha ha ha! That’s more like it.] approved Rathnaar.

“But master, wouldn’t that enrage them to the point where to send their strongest people after us?”

Kahn then chuckled and replied in a carefree tone.

“You see all this money… it’s gained from the commission of providing deals.

All they do is provide a platform for selling and take a 5% cut from it. The higher the cost, the bigger the cut.

This is called white-collar robbery. And I’m sure these people don’t even pay their taxes.” spoke Kahn as he places his hands on the chests filled with money.

“And what we’re doing… is called Tax Recovery.” he spoke in a righteous tone as a charismatic aura oozed out of him.

“Besides, if we want to make it big in this empire and hide properly… we’re going to need a lot of money. And the security here is very bad.

So we’re only safekeeping it… indefinitely.” he clarified.

The next second, Kahn tapped his right foot on the floor and soon, the entire wide room was covered in his dimensional domain.

After his rank-up, Dimensional Domain now had a span of 5 Kilometers in radius. So this room which wasn’t even half a kilometer in length was instantly covered in the black dome. And the next second, Kahn deactivated it.

As they returned to the room again… this time, there wasn’t even a single coin or any chest left.

The whole room had been cleaned out of everything without even making a sound.

This, Kahn had succeeded in his perfect Money Heist.

“Alright, we’re leaving. The other me has evaded everyone’s eyes as well.” he said and both the subordinates jumped in his shadow.

They opened the door and closed it again. Kahn then jumped inside the true dimension again and quickly left the auction house while none of them even knew that they were robbed of years of wealth.

—————-

Kahn appeared on the other end of the city and got a room in a high-end hotel.

The next morning, he left the hotel and mixed among the crowd.

[Where are we going?] asked Rathnaar.

[To gather the information.] said Kahn in a firm tone.

After spending a couple of hours, he got inside a vast local library and had to pay three times the amount compared to other species for some reason.

But the rich tycoon Kahn had no problem with it and soon gathered all the information and history books he needed to find in order to get enough knowledge about this empire first.

And the information he gained was shocking to him for so many reasons as he finally found out why he was getting this third-rate citizen treatment ever since he came here.

The Vulcan empire was first established after the Fireborne race took over this land. And later, they reformed the entire with the entire dwarven race who were actually slaves in those times.

Many of the dwarves had fled back in that era and some even went to Rakos empire after Rathnaar had died and his son was the reigning emperor.

In Narnia, four cruel humans reigned as its rulers after overthrowing a witch empress. And those were some dictators they had who oppressed every other race under their rule.

After the Sigfreed clan, the clan of firebornes who came from very far lands took over it… they released and freed all the races. And soon, they formed an alliance with the dwarven race to reestablish the empire.

Since both firebornes and dwarven race worshipped Hetrax, the God of Fire… the religion was accepted as the only religious practice allowed in this empire as Firebornes had the highest affinity with fire while the dwarves had the highest affinity with metals and minerals. Two things that went extremely well with each other.

But in the past 500 years alone, the human race started a lot of coups and caused a bloodbath in the empire in order to take control of the empire.

Even one of the heroes of the past had joined their so-called revolution because he felt like humans deserved to be on the top like a textbook supremacist.

But each time, the imperial family turned out to be the final victor and when the current emperor took over the throne, he took drastic measures.

The entire status quo of the Vulcan empire was changed. And now, there was a completely different status quo in society.

The elites who stood at the top were the firebornes.

The 2nd most powerful and respected race was the dwarves.

3rd part belonged to Demi-Humans such as wolfkin and other species.

4th were the hybrids between many different species.

And lastly… were the humans.

As things stood… humans were subjected to social injustice, harsh treatment whether it was a job or even a business.

There were places and institutions where humans were barred to enter. And even the soldiers in the military were not allowed to rise in ranks past the captain’s position. It didn’t matter if one was talented or not…

The humans were the scums of society and treated like dirt because of what their ancestors did.

Kahn now finally understood why humans were treated so harshly in this empire’s social structure. If it was the old and foolish him, it would’ve boiled his blood.

But the current Kahn did not feel an empathy towards the humans of this empire. Not because he had become cold or heartless… Rather, he understood why the reigning emperor took these drastic measures.

No matter which world, humans were always the curious and rebellious race. And in the past 500 years alone, they had caused too much bloodbath in this empire so he understood why the current situation was so adverse.

This explained why Kahn was getting such a second-hand treatment and get ostracized everywhere he went because he was a human.

But the him of now didn’t care too much about it since he wasn’t some savior or beacon of hope for the human race in this place. And neither did he have any intentions to start a revolution.

And thoroughly going through the study about this empire’s social structure, notable historical events and in how many regions it was divided as well as the topographical variations concerning people, their life standards, upbringing and set of beliefs instilled in the populace of the empire…

He finally gained the necessary information that was more than enough for him to survive in the new land.

—————-

Kahn came to realize that soon, he’d need to travel and find a safe haven for himself to raise his levels and ranks while being in hiding.

And also find a way to gain more resources and money since with each rank up, he’d need twice the amount compared to other saints.

Because the technique taught to him by Rathnaar and using the Chamber of Exaltation was a powerful means to ensure that he was always the strongest compared to others of his rank and levels.

But the lesser dragon’s body was only enough till he became a 2nd stage saint. After that, he’d still need external sources since he couldn’t absorb Rathnaar’s core until he was a 4th stage saint.

So Kahn kept going through books and tried to find anything available on the god who summoned him and the forces who served him.

Obviously, the information about God of Darkness, the Abyss Empire and its location was non-existent in these books that were mandated by the ruling authorities.

The information on ruling powers, who controlled what and established governing forces was not provided in these books. A classic method to keep the population in the dark.

All it took was 300 years and they had erased the existence of those things from the world by carefully brainwashing the generations of people and turning truth into myths and folktales.

And finally, Kahn reached the most important topic that he needed the information on…

The Gods and Empires.
