Hero of Darkness

Kahn relayed his plans to the entire populace of the Verlassen fiefdom and spoke about how quality standards should be established before anything was even allowed to be sold to normal people.Â

Because till this point, the more reputed and wealthy one company was, the more they sold to the masses and had their hands filled with government deals that basically resulted in a drop in the quality of goods and also implicated millions of lives such as poor quality weapons for the soldiers or useless health recovery potions that were used by the adventurers who hunted in the wild.Â

But the main objective of creating these two federations was to mandate all the companies in these two fields because the majority of the jobs such as forging, crafting even food sectors, technologies sectors that needed these cores, as well as alchemy, were dependent on the monster huntings in this fiefdom.Â

87% of the economy itself was heavily reliant on these two sectors so by creating these two federations, Kahn and his people could mandate who was selling what, if the quality was good or not and most importantly, he could decide whom they should approve or not.Â

If one chose to not join these two federations, they'd be labeled as someone whose quality of products couldn't be trusted and eventually, they won't be able to do any business in the market anyway. Because once the customers themselves became aware of the trademarks and approval of quality from the federations, they'd instinctively choose the verified goods.Â

That's why Kahn used both Albestros and Armin, two peak grandmasters, to hold the command of these federations so no one could question their authority and skills to judge these products and the business organizations that would sell them in the market.Â

Plus the 30% tax exemption was an extremely alluring offer for everyone because that'd save them a lot of wealth as well. The bigger companies would save a huge ton of profits by joining these two federations.Â

And now, the biggest ace in Kahn's sleeves was also going to turn up. The whole act of creating these two new federations was just a front for him.Â

Because using them'¦ Kahn was going to set up his own business empire.Â

He knew that if he used The Bloodborne company or created a new alchemy company in Armin's name'¦ others would use it to tarnish his name sooner or later anyway.Â

So in the name of search and seizure warrants, he had acquired all the assets of the top business organizations by bringing in their leaders in People's Court and after they were proven guilty, the assets belonged to fiefdom aka Kahn himself.Â

And now that he had the underworld in his palms.. He would use them all to create hundreds of companies, give them these properties to establish their organizations and use the leaders of those criminal organizations he made slaves out of to hold command here.Â

This way, Kahn would be able to legalize them and use these shell corporations to funnel the black money at the same time.Â

And after joining the federations, they'd be legally allowed to establish themselves in the whole fiefdom and through them, not only will Kahn control the underworld'¦ he will also rule the business world at the same time.Â

They'd have resources, backing from the government and military, licenses to make deals in particular areas and sectors. So in the end'¦ everything would go into Kahn's own pockets.Â

All the black money will be turned white and will directly go into his pockets. So in simple words.. He'd be the richest man in the whole fiefdom and no one could even point any fingers at him.

Although it was unfair'¦ Kahn didn't care about those who hadn't joined his side and wanted full hegemony as well as a monopoly in every sector of the fiefdom to establish his complete rule.Â

Plus the government and military were already in his control. And now with the underworld and economic sector also under his hands'¦ with the full support from the people themselves.. Kahn's authority itself was unquestionable.Â

Next week, Albestros also announced that he would make Aesir as the new headquarters of his weapon manufacturing company and will do his best to provide quality products to the military of this region.Â

That he would personally take responsibility for them. So Kahn offered the arms dealing with the Bloodborne company and declared that they'd make sure that no scam or underhanded deal affects the lives of the innocent people and the soldiers of the fiefdom.Â

While with his help and full support, Armin also set up his own company named Ayurveda which would be making all alchemy-related products such as potions, antidotes and cures to many illnesses and diseases.Â

And with full support from Kahn and every sector of government, they had no problems in creating a big business empire of themselves because unlike the capital Rathna, they didn't have a problem finding good locations for the factories, warehouses or properties to function as the base of opposition.Â

At the same time'¦ many talented and skilled people joined their companies because they wanted to learn from the peak grandmasters themselves and hone their skills. So in the matter of weeks alone, these two companies became the leading spearheads of their respective fields without a slight resistance because Kahn had already taken out their competition.Â

Later, Kahn gave mining and monster hunting contracts to hundreds of different companies that were actually operated by his Seven Deadly Sins throughout the fiefdom so nobody could even detect his involvement.Â

Even the Adventurer's Associations throughout the fiefdom were controlled by him from behind the shadows and now, he had the support from all the fighter class organizations as well.Â

One by one, he was controlling every aspect of the fiefdom and ruled over them.Â

After another one month passed by and Kahn had established all his companies, he had everything in his control after thoroughly planning and setting things in his favor. With each step, he had set up a foundation to rule the next sector systematically. And with all these important sectors in his hands, Kahn had become'¦Â

THE TRUE SOVEREIGN.Â
