章節 825: Plan

'The Empire's domain?' Khan repeated in his mind, confused about that development.

The situation was quite odd. The three ships clearly had noble support. They wouldn't have been able to find Khan otherwise. Yet, killing him didn't seem to be their goal.

That didn't make any sense. The unknown enemy party had invested a lot in that ploy, meaning it expected significant results. Instead, pushing Khan into the Thilku's domain wasn't much of an achievement. There had to be more to it.

Khan reviewed his situation, considering the potential problems that could arise. Much of his authority and leverage came from the Empire. Ruining that relationship would greatly damage him, but the matter was easier said than done.

The Thilku were straightforward people, and Khan had even earned their cape. His relationship with the Empire wouldn't crumble over misunderstandings or minor incidents. Only something big could make that happen.
