"Who knew the trump card of the Sun had such an impactful terror. Their wealth is immeasurable, much more so than ours!" Sean said with a smile.
After a few days' work, the Khan had looted everything they could from the Sun.
Sean sat on the Khan throne, and smiled brightly at his subjects.
"Indeed! After our little insurrection, our clan had risen far beyond what was once thought possible!" a leader said.
"Now, we have both Skyfall and the mayor having our backs, who'd dare try anything against us?" another chipped in.
The Khan leaders cheered and celebrated their success.
"Hey, now that we have the Sun's techniques at our disposal, no doubt the Khan will improve further!" a leader checked.
"Right! The Sun also had a lot of weaponry!" another added.
It would seem the Khan were very pleased with their spoils.
"Even though we are now the greatest power in Starlight, there are still some that dare to oppose us!" a leader suddenly said sternly.
This leader was Mateo Khan, a loyal Khan leader.
His personality was calm, and very rarely did he get angry.
"What's wrong, Mateo?" Sean asked.
"Yeah, Mateo, who would dare oppose us again?" the other leaders asked.
"The Zane!"
Mateo replied sternly.
"Zane?"
Liam asked suddenly, carrying with it was a shocked expression.
"What's wrong Liam? Are you familiar with the Zanes?" Zeke asked.
Everyone in the Hall turned their gaze towards Liam, curious as to what he knew.
"My lord, I do indeed know about the Zanes. Although the Zanes aren't as great as the Sun, nor do they enjoy the Khan, they still harbor much influence. Afterall, they have been in Starlight for over 600 years!" Liam replied.
"Yes, I have heard of this. The Zanes are privy like that. However, the Zanes and us do not bother each other, why would they act out now when we're all powerful?" Sean asked.
After taking on the role of lord Khan, Sean had become very strict with his rule.
Every word he said was either a command or a statement.
"My lord, the Zanes were indeed privy, but recently they have become more brazen. While we were taking over the Sun's assets, the Zanes acted. They recently took over one of our mines. When I went to ask for its release, they denied me!" Liam replied.
Mateo's expression became more solemn upon hearing this.
"Hmph, even if the Zane have been here for 600 years, they wouldn't dare be so bold. They must have something else that motivated them!" Zeke said.
No one would dare disregard what Zeke said, regardless of how much of a junior he was.
Mateo quickly replied Zeke's thoughts,
"My lord, Zeke, you may not know this, although the Zanes have not developed much over the years, they have close connections with the Leeds of Caledon." Mateo continued,
"Accordingly, the Zane heiress was engaged to a Leed, allowing them to be so bold!"
"Celadon? Leed?" Upon hearing this, many frowned.
Celadon was an even bigger power than Starlight.
Starlight was nothing more than a measly town to the Ahi Dynasty.
Celadon however, was a great city in all of Ahi.
The Leeds were also an ancient clan from Celadon, one much greater than the Sun.
The Khan, who knew this, realized what dire risks that may pose.
"Zeke, what do you think?"
Sean could not make a decision.
After the last battle, Tyson and the Elders retreated into their hovels.
Only Sean and Zeke were left to lead the Khan.
"Celadon is not weak, neither are the Leeds! However, this isn't Celadon, it's Starlight!" Zeke chuckled.
The attendees felt a strong presence from Zeke.
Zeke retreated in the middle of the Khan discussion.
He felt that Sean was able to make the right choices, he was a better leader after all.
The Khan had the Skyfall and the mayoral office to back them up.
No matter how brazen the Zanes become, they would not dare act irrationally.
...
"Master, I have investigated the person of interest towards young Lily. He is a guard of the mayoral office. His name is Logan Starr, a Strength of level eight. He is also the adopted son of Bruce," Liam said softly when he reported his investigation.
"Logan Starr?"
Zeke nodded, while he smiled.
Lily was the most important person in Zeke's lives, he had disappointed her before, he vowed to repay her now.
"How is this Logan character?
"He is said to be honest, loyal, and down-to-earth. He had been raised by Bruce since he was young, I doubt his character would be bad," Liam replied enthusiastically.
"Right"
Zeke sighed.
If Logan's character was not up to par, even if he was Bruce's son, Zeke would make sure Logan learns a lesson or two to never hurt Lily.
"Thank you for this, please continue your work. Lily's happiness cannot be sloppily handled!" Zeke ordered.
The fact that Lily had an interest was given to Zeke by Liam.
Zeke had long regarded Lily as his sister.
No matter what, Zeke would make sure that Lily's happiness is kept.
