Chapter 57: I'm all about that Money

Kahn had Ceril cast the Silence Barrier on his room while Ronin guarded the house from shadows. He could not afford to have the news of him grabbing and running away with the entire noble clan's fortune.

As for the aftermath of the night's battle.. He hadn't left any traces behind unless there was someone who could track his location and all the places he went through some sort of tracking device or a satellite. This world simply wasn't that advanced for the latter.

Kahn took out the things he got in batches one by one and started counting exactly how big of a haul he had last night. After spending hours trying to list down everything based on their categories and uses, he was finally done. His Eidetic Memory being extremely helpful to him again; because if it was someone else, they would've lost the track of it just in few minutes since the amount was too big.

Under this silence barrier, Kahn started laughing like the Green Goblin again.. Thankfully the barrier was stopping his voice to leak out of his room.

After jumping with joy and doing a little moonwalk did he finally stop. Kahn gave a final look at the contents of the space with a satisfied smile. He was certain that even the Magistrate or Solomon weren't as rich as him now.

He started listing out the things just for the sake of it again.

7 epic & 21 rare rank weapons, 3 epic and 13 rare rank armors made of highest quality materials such as body parts of highly defensive rare monsters. Then his gaze shifted to the mana ores.. Totally 2000 or more mana ores.. Each ore was comparable to a C Rank monster core in terms of the quality of mana. These things sized of a fist and were extremely rare to get because mana condensing together inside the deep grounds was a rare phenomenon.

There were more than 40 high-grade and 90 Medium grade Health Recovery potions. Over a dozen rare poison antidotes and for the first time, Kahn saw the Mana Bombs.. From what he had learned, these were used in an open war or against a monster tide. Each one was strong enough to wipe out everything in a 500-meter radius from where it was thrown. These were like mini-missiles. And there were 5 of them.

Then he moved towards the rare herbs and materials he couldn't even recognize. He didn't have any Alchemist skills or had a chance to absorb them so he wasn't aware of plenty it these rare herbs. But he was certain that not a single of one these was a wasteful thing.

Then his eyes turned to the rare magic scrolls. There were plenty of life-saving scrolls such as teleportation, barriers, elemental attacks, stun and paralysis, debuff and explosive magic. As per his knowledge, no one could use these things like skills and had to rely on the process of imprinting magic formation and designs for them to work. It took skilled magicians and artificers to work together to even create a single low-rank magic scroll.

And there were more than 100 of these scrolls. He really had hit a jackpot because if one day he were to face an opponent far stronger than him, these magic scrolls could help him fight and even win against the opponent or at worse, help him escape if his life was in jeopardy.

And now for the remaining ones.. There was a chest full of rare rubies, diamonds, pearls and minerals he hadn't even heard of in his previous life. He realized if he were to sell these to someone, they'd easily be 10 times of what he earned by selling the materials to Nikola a week ago.

For the final contents of the ring.. That made him happy the most. The gold coins!

Before this, Kahn thought having 60 to 70 thousand gold coins in personal worth was enough to make him one of the top one thousand richest people in the city.. But now he realized how wrong he was. That would barely make him one of the top ten thousand in reality.

He kept staring at the hill of the gold coins with an elated expression.. Because the sheer number had left him gobsmacked after he was done tallying them..

2 million gold coins!

Yes! That was the number of gold coins he had now. And that too after excluding the worth of the other materials and gems. Kahn was having a hard time deciding how he would even manage to spend half of this money.. This was beyond anything he hoped for.

"Wait.. If that's the worth of just a single noble clan. I wonder how much money the other clans have.." said Kahn with a greedy and malicious smile on his countenance.

"I guess I no longer need to depend on that contract to get resources and money. I already have a reputation so there's nothing those old fogies could help me with." spoke Kahn to himself.

There truly was no need for him to go killing around people or even act as the enforcer of justice using the name of Azrael. The current Kahn had all he wanted in the beginning.

He had strength, he had money and resources and more importantly.. He had the reputation. Now nobody would look down on him or willingly pick a fight with him.

Because he was no longer a nobody who could be bullied or killed and not a single person in the city would know or talk about it.

Besides, he had already killed Stragabor; the main cause of the contract in the first place so it was now nulled if thought practically. So in other words, Kahn was no longer bound to anyone, he wasn't dependent on anyone and was completely free to do whatever he wanted.

Because after the banquet.. Many doors were already opened for him among the richest and top echelons of the city. Soon, he too would make dealings with them and form friendship here and there.

Now he had only one thing left to do if he wanted to stand in front of the strongest in the city on an equal footing.

And that was breaking through the Grandmaster Rank!
