Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1128  Heart Laid Out

The following day, Kahn and Kassandra emerged from the secluded realm, accompanied by Kahn's three most trusted subordinates.

A palpable sense of resolve marked the transition from their private sanctuary back to the real world, as both carried the weight of their responsibilities and impending actions.

To Kahn's surprise, Kassandra had long been aware of his enigmatic subordinates, having discovered their existence years ago when she had first ascended to the rank of a 2nd-stage saint.

At that time, she had just begun meticulously orchestrating her plan for vengeance against those who had wronged her. Her ascent in power had granted her a greater understanding of the hidden forces at play within her clan, allowing her to uncover secrets that had been deliberately buried beneath layers of deception and political maneuvering.

This particular Elder, despite being only a 3rd-stage saint, had secured his position of power not through sheer strength but through his cunning, strategic mind, and manipulative tactics. His ability to navigate the treacherous waters of noble politics had earned him favor among the majority of the clan's ruling council.

To him, the offspring of the clan were nothing more than bargaining chips, mere commodities to be exchanged in carefully arranged marriages that served the sole purpose of elevating his own standing.

His influence within the Elder Council stemmed from his ability to negotiate and orchestrate unions that would bring wealth, alliances, and political leverage to the clan... transactions that ensured his name remained relevant and his status unchallenged.
