What Kahn felt right at this moment was something he hadn't felt before.. Although he wanted nothing else but to rip out the hearts of the hired professionals who we killing his employees as a way for the people from the chamber of commerce to get back at him.. There were still many things Kahn had doubts about.
What he didn't understand was how did the people who couldn't even handle Omega & Jugram's pressure properly suddenly grew up a spine and dared to outright kill his people?
Because even if they let impulses & anger affect their decision.. It was already clear that none of them actually had the capabilities to kill Kahn if they couldn't even defeat his bodyguards.
And it was obvious that Kahn would come for their heads after that final warning. And yet.. Things had come to the current circumstances.
As if these people no longer had a fear for their lives.
Kahn quickly slapped himself to control his angered state.
"Think clearly! This isn't simple like it seems." he spoke to himself and adjusted his breathing.
As the calm breathing exercise started showing its effect and he regained his composure and focused mind, he started to look for proper reasoning.
"A provocation like this is only good in two scenarios. And One, you are far stronger than your opponent and can control everything if it comes to a life and death situation.
Two.. when you want to lure out the enraged enemy right into your trap." said Kahn.
He wasn't going to do the mistake of walking into a trap ever again after his experience with Arkham & Solomon. He won't always come out alive from it because of some plot armor or a coincidence. Even the power boost skills he had were the last resort when he was completely cornered and had no other choice; so there was a need of examining the situation first.
And there was another problem..
He couldn't afford to reveal his identity as a Semi-Saint Rank fighter either. Otherwise, it will come to bite him back later. Plus there was also the matter of security of the company & Albestros.
Someone of his strength would eventually end up catching the eye of top guys. And hence it wasn't a good choice to reveal his true strength either.
But there was still a way for him to interfere without implicating his real Identity. It was the same method he used in Flavot city.
And that was to create another persona.
Since Azrael was out of the equation as he didn't want to gather too much attention on himself or let people from Flavot city know that Azrael appeared in the same district of the capital where Kahn also lived now.. He had to use a different persona and a different method to hunt down his enemies.
Kahn took out a body from one of his space rings and placed his hand on it.
This body belonged to none other than Bartholomew Volstov, father of Eren Volstov. The father & son duo tried to use Azrael's name to plot and kill their own clan's head. Although they did succeed.. Kahn was the one who benefitted from it the most.
So far.. He didn't even have a reason or time to pay attention to this Intermediate Grandmaster Rank Archer.. But he hadn't completely forgotten about him either. Although he could mix it with Oliver.. But the fact that Bartholomew wasn't a peak grandmaster fighter wouldn't give any favorable results at all.
And because of that.. Kahn was waiting for a proper time to use this body. And after nearly two months.. The opportunity finally appeared.
"Absorb!" commanded Kahn and used the Ability Absorption divine ability.
"System, show me the abilities and skills."

"Good enough for now." spoke Kahn as he looked at the mirror.
"I can't reveal my own identity.. But I can't hide behind a mask this time either.

I need to… make a statement." he said with fervor in his tone.
"System.. can I change my age using the metamorphosis ability?" asked Kahn.
He could always take the form of another species but when it came to archery, he found his human form the most suitable.
[Yes. How old would the host like to appear?]
"Hmm.. I always wondered how I would look 20 years later in my past life.
Let's make it 45." spoke Kahn.
The next second, his appearance started changing.. His young and handsome appearance started aging at a visible rate.. Multiple wrinkles and a beard slowly grew on his face.
A strand of white patch appeared on his long yet well-fashioned beard and now shoulder-length hair on both sides. In just a minute, his appearance turned from a vigorous young man to a stoic and matured seasoned warrior.
Although his body was a bit thin compared to before.. The aura he gave from the new appearance was worlds apart. His eyes looked full of wisdom and experience along with the kingly aura that made him look like someone who spent decades fighting wars.
Kahn quickly took out an Epic Rank gear set for archers and a bow made up of rare alloys. After the new abilities he gained and breaking through to the Grandmaster rank for Archery skills, his innate connection to this weapon increased drastically.

But before he could admire his new appearance, he heard a warning signal from one of his assassin subordinates he left in one of the employees.
His countenance turned serious as he spoke..
"Pray to your god for this is your last day.
