But being greedy here wasnt the best choice either.
If the cores of all these saints went missing, Kahn would be in deep shit sooner or later.
If they found out, he would be dead for sure and the heat it would bring back to him was something he couldnt deal with even now.

Besides, Kahn couldnt even use the cores of the saints of higher stages.
Dealing with that issue later was a more reasonable choice than completely enraging the top powerhouses of this clan and dying a painful death.

When the night finally fell and only the ashes of the traitors were left on the execution ground after cooling down, Ronin passed from Szayel to shadows of the guards and then used the dark of the night to steal the core, using his assassination skills and the fear toxin to divert the guards stationed as security.

After he successfully stole the core, he waited for an opportunity to leave the place but the best chance he got was when Szayel came with a group of grandmaster rank soldiers to collect the cores and safely escort them.

Luckily, there were no monitoring devices or artifacts present here as no one would ever imagine someone infiltrating and stealing from the clan right in their main headquarters.

Using the dark shadows and carefully masking his presence, he again hid in Szayels shadow as that was the best choice to meet Kahn again.

Even without the direct commands from his master, Ronin was already very careful and intelligent; inheriting Kahns opportunistic and patient behavior to perfectly execute the task.

And since no one would dare to inspect the clans heir and the candidate for clan leaders position in the future, no one even dared to inspect Szayel after a thorough investigation was done by the clan which resulted in some of the soldiers getting imprisoned for failing their duties.

And ever since then, he had been hiding and waiting to get out and meet Kahn all this time.

Kahn on the other end was completely consumed with thousands of things to do in the past month after the deal with the 8 big clans and the saints who visited him that day.

But since the system hadnt notified him, he knew that Ronin was still alive.
Just that it was unclear whether he succeeded or failed the task.

And during his conversation with Szayel he had a couple of hours ago, he had all his questions answered by the clan heir.

He wasnt traced or even considered as one of the suspects.

–

Kahn held the bright and glowing white core in his hands after Ronin appeared after one month.

Even though he wasnt proficient in using or sensing the world energy, he still could feel the extremely condensed world energy within this fist-sized core.

Just by touching the core, he felt an immense reserve of energy that can be used for destroying the army of tens of thousands if used properly.

And this was just a first stage saints core.
The cores of the higher stage saints would be far powerful and contain more energy inside them.

Well done.
said Kahn as he nodded at Ronin who successfully managed to steal this core from the headquarters of the Vandereich clan and remained untracked, waiting patiently for this exact moment.

Kahn let out a content sigh as he looked at the core with a joyous smile.

Kahn finally had one of the main sources to become a saint which was also the hardest one to get.
He wasnt stupid to even think about killing a bonafide saint himself after looking at how the mage oppressed the army of ten thousand and didnt even receive a scratch from those destructive magic cannons that could obliterate hundreds of Kahn together.

Finally..
Half of the battle is won.
said Kahn as he put the first stage saints core in his personal space ring.

He gave 1000 SS Rank cores to Ronin as his reward and decided that it was time for the subordinate to take some time off and rise in levels just like the others.

All Kahn needed now was time.

By his estimation, he would need at least half a year to reach level 200 and then he could finally become a certified saint.

A realm that was in a way, a realm above the mortals and felt more like pseudo gods.

Kahn laid on his bed and spoke in a tired voice.

Finally I have everything I needed.
