Hero of Darkness

that it was indeed his son who embezzled the money but still chose to blame it on you.
Because it would affect his family name and prestige as the owner of the company.

And you are a necessary sacrifice for maintaining that pretense.
interjected Kahn before the orc could plead.

After his explanation, even Sirius had a bewildered expression.

In his mind, he started to connect the dots and one thing he realized was that despite all the evidence showing that he was innocent, and suddenly his colleagues turning on him indeed looked shady.

And then the owners son insisting that it was him after this matter was exposed also looked suspicious.

Other workers were trying to keep their jobs while agreeing with the owners son while the owner himself wanted to maintain his image despite realizing the truth.

And at the end, Sirius was discarded despite his years of loyalty to cover up a scam caused by the son.

At this point..
Sirius completely gave up.

In mere moments..
His entire life was turned around.
This betrayal hurt more than being falsely accused of something he didnt do.

All his sleepless nights and hard work he offered for the sake of the company like a workaholic employee went into vain for reasons he did not even know about.

Come with me.
spoke Omega as he put his hand on the shoulder of the orc.

After accepting the mental shock..
Sirius somehow mustered the strength and courage to follow behind Omega.

He knew one thing for sure at this moment..

If not for this peak grandmaster and his lord who showed up out of nowhere and saved him..
He would lose both his hands and tongue..
And then get put in jail for the crime he didnt commit.
And who knew how miserable the rest of his life would be.

To him, this sudden appearance of these individuals was akin to how a savior makes an entrance in the most perilous moments as they save weak and helpless people, just like heroes of the fairy tales.

After Omega escorted Sirius to their ride, he opened the door for the orc.

Sirius saw a handsome man dressed in black and golden noble clothes seated inside the vehicle.

Kahn gestured to Sirius to come inside and sit.

Whats your name? asked Kahn kindly.

My name is Sirius..
Sirius Blake.
replied the orc.

Thank you for saving me, sir.
I..
I honestly dont know how to repay your kindness.
said Sirius in a grateful tone despite Kahn being younger than him by two decades.

May I ask why you chose to help me? he asked in a cautious tone.

Because he was old enough to understand that there were no free meals in the world.

Kahn gave a light smile and nodded in approval towards the orc.

Its a very short and simple reason if I were to be honest with you.
said Kahn and continued in a gentle tone..

I want you to work for me.
