But this time, he was willing to take a gamble.
Since their time in the Pleiades Star System was unlikely to be short, and they did need a local subordinate, Amalia had no objections.
Soham had managed to get this far—that in itself proved his worth.
Lal Hiran was dead, but he had plenty of subordinates.
Some were fiercely loyal, while others, like Soham, had been eyeing the leader's seat for themselves.
Once word of Lal Hiran's death spread, his men rushed over.
Seeing Soham already seated in the leader's position, showing no respect for Lal Hiran's still-warm corpse, their ambitions flared.
Without hesitation, they banded together to challenge him.
However, with Amalia and Kenny Lin present, their rebellion was swiftly crushed.
Those who could be subdued were taken in; those who couldn't—were eliminated.
Within half a day, Soham had fully solidified his position.
No one dared oppose him anymore.
