Krane was shocked by that proposition, and for a second, he could not believe what he just heard.
"I am a criminal."
"And I am a Colonel of the Imperial Army. I have the authority to take criminals under my wing as I see fit."
Cain was talking about the ability of high-ranking military officers to take convicted criminals out of prison. Specific criteria needed to be met, and any new criminal activity done by the convict would affect the officer's military record, so not many people would take that risk. Still, Cain was confident in his ability to control Krane.
"Even if that is true, the Sundering Sky Roc University will not be happy."
"Haha." Continue your journey with empire
Cain laughed as he heard that. He had killed Dominic and indirectly caused the death of a Wave King and severe wounds on an Apotheosis Realm Cultivator belonging to the Sundering Sky Roc University. The hate the universe had for him was much greater than the one they had for Krane.
"There is no need to worry about that. That university could not possibly hate me more. Are you willing to accept?"
Krane remained silent for a moment before turning toward the unconscious Wave Champions.
"What about my men?"
A small smile appeared on Cain's face when he heard that. Krane's loyalty and sense of camaraderie were why he chose the man for this task.
"I will interrogate them. Originally, I was going to send all of them to prison. If you take the job, I could release those who had not taken innocent lives."
Krane stared at Cain and knew there was no way to negotiate. He either took the job, or all of them went to prison.
The category of innocence was different for different people, but by the young man's reaction to his story, Krane was able to deduce the way Cain's mind worked. Murdering civilians and those too weak to defend themselves was something he would not tolerate, but he could approach deaths that occurred in fights among powerful people with a pragmatic point of view.
"I accept."
Cain focused on Krane, and a solemn light appeared in his eyes as his Ego Wave burst with power. Krane knew the next part and took a deep breath as he lowered his defenses.
Cain put his hand over the man's head before sending his Ego Wave in. He was not trying to reach the middle-aged man's soul since that was too dangerous.
Instead, Cain sent a fragment of his Ego Wave and left an Ego Mark on Krane's Ego Eternal Matrix.
That was the same mark Zarak had put on his body the first time they met, allowing the man to know his location, but Cain's approach was much more restrictive. Only he could remove the mark and could make it explode if he wanted.
While the explosion of an Ego Mark had little to no strength, if it were to happen inside your Ego Eternal Matrix, just falling into a coma would be lucky.
Once Cain finished with that and was sure he could keep Krane under control, he turned his eyes to the rest of the bandits and began the interrogations.
Of the eight, Cain chose to release three and sent four to prison. As for the last one, that woman made Cain's killing intent explode.

Cain's stats were simply overwhelming. He had just entered the Middle Stage, and his body was more potent than most Late Wave Champions, not to mention that his vitality was simply off the charts thanks to the Biometal Herculean Technique.
One must also not neglect the overwhelming secondary energy pool. Cain's Blood Energy was shockingly high, and it was clear that his Blood Core was evolving at a staggering speed, one that not even the greatest geniuses of the Blood Sea could match.
'Just in time.'
Cain's eyes narrowed as he felt the Star Cruiser descending and moving slower, as it seemed it was finally reaching its port. He stood up, and his invisible Ego Wave had already flooded the place. His eyes narrowed since he recognized someone.
'Good, I can take care of that problem now.'
Cain stood up and collected the cauldron in his space ring before walking out.
