BXBX NOVEL Chapter 181: The Order
Chapter 181: The Order
[Too many people.. I can't take them all by myself.] thought Kahn as he gauged the strength of the nearly two thousand fighters. These were indeed one of the top professional killers who worked on a contract basis. As he strode within the crowd from one side to another.. Nearly 2 kilometers of the rectangular area was full of these fighters. Even the weakest one he sensed was a beginner master rank warrior.
Kahn also sensed 2 Peak Grandmaster Rank fighters. One being a mage and the other being a female ogre who was a battleaxe warrior.
Who knew how many assassinations were conducted and lives were taken by these people.
What he wanted to do here was look for the exact records and find out who were the people that targeted his company & hired these people to kill his employees.
He wasn't stupid to think that out of all those people he offended that day, everyone was part of these targeted killings. He wasn't a psychopath to go and kill everyone because of mild suspicion.
But by knowing the names of the people responsible, he would be properly able to exact revenge on those who were the root cause of it.
During his stroll around the area.. Kahn was looking for the best ways to use the battlefield to his advantage.
And the biggest and most key advantage he could use was none other than..
The Ventilation system.
Because this place was an underground facility, there were plenty of ventilation ducts coming inside and the grid was made to supply air to every corner of this vast market-like floor.
There were a total of 11 doors altogether from different sides, like the one Kahn previously came from. And as the wolfkin revealed previously.. There were plenty of isolation barriers and detecting formations.
Anyone stupid enough to break in through this facility won't leave out of here alive. And if not for Kahn, who learned about the password and had the appearance of one of the well-known members, a grandmaster rank archer.. He too would've been noticed and caught as soon as he entered the tavern above.
As he silently checked the nook and cranny and the divided sections for the bigshots of this profession and those who had a rich clientele.. He finally decided on how to deal with this situation.
In half an hour, Kahn silently and successfully planted 20 isolation formations, 12 anti-teleportation artifacts and 6 domain artifacts of his own.
And now, even if a big fight was to break out.. Nobody outside or above the ground would be able to sense the commotion.
Kahn now possessed over 30 fear toxin timer bombs. He planted 20 of them on different desks under the name of looking for a suitable contract and then using his extension skill, he planted the rest in the ventilation system.
After carefully rigging this entire facility to his favor.. Kahn decided that it was the time for the real thing.
He went to the restroom and changed back into his old man Kahn appearance.
Now, he stood in the very center of this wide facility full of criminals and murderers.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
His loud clapping noise echoed and silenced half of the facility as he used a sound amplification scroll.
"Listen, everyone.. I have an announcement to make!" he shouted, quickly garnering the attention of everyone who was going about their affairs.
"Those who took the job of killing the Bloodborne company's people, raise your hands. I have an extra offer from the main clients. They say they will give 50,000 gold coins to each person who previously accepted their contract." spoke Kahn loudly.
Gasp!
Multiple people present here, let it be dwarfs, botirs, thralls or elves suddenly had all of their attention on him.
"But only those who accepted the job previously are eligible for the next proposition. So those who did.. Raise your hand!" declared Kahn.
Thud! Flutter!
One by one.. Hundreds then over a thousand and then nearly two thousand.. Almost 99% percent of the professional killers here raised their hand.
"What the fuck?! How come all of you accepted the job?!" asked Kahn.
"Ha ha ha!!"
"Pfft!! Is he for real?"
"What rock were you hiding under, dipshit?"
Hundreds of people started laughing at him altogether.
A purple thrall standing close to Kahn spoke..
"Don't you know? The contract on that company & killing their people paid 3 times the normal price?.. We all took it. But the client's instructions were that we all had to do it on selective days and in small numbers.
Otherwise, it will reveal that an entire company was on a hit list and the total number of dead people would get noticed by the public.
Seriously, how do you not know that?"
Kahn was struck with surprise. He only knew that a selective number of people had taken the contract but this was an entire organization-wise contract?
And they even paid 3 times the normal price.. Did someone really hate him to the core and wanted to see him and his company buried in the ground that badly?
"Hey! What kind of nonsense is this?!" suddenly an old human mage shouted from the other end of the facility.
"I'm the one in charge of dealing with this matter and reporting to our clients. Who the hell are you?!"
"Really? What proof do you have that I'm not the one to relay their orders. Do you even have the ledger and contract details given by our clients?" retorted Kahn.
"Yes I do!" declared the peak grandmaster mage and took out a big record book from his space ring and placed it on the table.
"Now tell me who the hell are you? I haven't seen you before either." asked the old mage.
"Since you guys are all so cooperative.. I'll tell you the inside information." he declared and looked around the thousands of people full of different species, races and genders..
"My name is Zeus. And I have been ordered to kill everyone who took the contract against the Bloodborne company." declared Kahn… Zeus, the Archer in his mature and rustic voice.
Everyone who heard this sudden declaration was caught by surprise.
"What nonsense!! By whose orders?" asked the mage in an enraged tone.
BOOM!! BOOM!!
Kahn quickly released War Dominance at full capacity and revealed his strength as a Semi-Saint Rank Archer to everyone present inside this vicinity.
His pressure already put nearly a thousand of the weak fighters on the ground as Kahn then replied in his tyrannical and domineering voice...
"By the order of Peaky Fookin' Blinders!"
