章 142: The Capital

Four days later, Kahn and the Caravan finally came closer to the outer areas of the capital. 

During their travels, Szayel told him a lot about his background which made Kahn feel happy about his choice to save the heir of the Vandereich clan. 

The reason why Szayel was ambushed was because currently, their faction held the most positions in the Finance Ministry and under the order of his father, he was to be sent on a secret visit to backtrack a money-laundering scam that could potentially reveal many government officials; and their corrupt businesses done by misusing their power & authority. 

Although the Rakos Empire was under an Oligarchy in the past hundred years, it wasn't about oppressing people and using fear to rule. In a way, the three factions kept each other on their tiptoes before any of them tried to misuse their power or take over the empire.
