" David, we have already given you two days. I hope you could give us a suitable answer." Kenneth asked.

" Yes, we have found who was responsible for the incident." David announced to everyone.

A joint committee was established with David as the head. The Rothschild, the Morgan, the Hanson, and the British royal family took part in the investigation.

It was a no-brainer that whoever was behind it would be found when this much power was put behind it.

" Who was it then?" Eleanor asked. She had been restless since she heard the news. She was itching to let loose.

" The Medici Family."

"""" What?"""" Everyone had the same reaction. It was a name they had not heard in ages, last time the family surfaced was during the middle ages, and the main branch died by the late seventeen hundreds. That was what the public knew, but it was not valid.

" Medici family, aren't they extinct?" Oscar asked. He didn't mean to do it, but it was too shocking for him. The younger generation was also like Oscar; they stared at David for clarification.

Jane stepped forward instead.

" Allow me to explain. The heir of the House of Medici was Anna Maria which was believed to have left no offsprings but in actuality she did gave birth to a son. His identity was hidden seeing the declining duchy was well within at its end."

" So, that person's descendant was responsible for the attack. It is hardly believable; I have never heard that we have bad blood with them." Robert asked. He had been the head of the family for a while now; he had to have known if their paths had crossed.

" They have already abandoned their family names ages ago, at present they are ruling the underworld around the europe. They are the overlord of that region and are involved in numerous crime syndicates. Does 'AXA' rings any bell?" Jane asked.

"!!!" It was a name they had all heard about, a group of influential individuals involved in shady businesses.

" That's right. The person who is responsible is the older son of the person who controls the guild. It was hard to infiltrate because they are very suspicious of new members but we bought several existing members with money. For them loyalty is optional when they see money."

" Is it credible? I don't want to crush them simply on speculation. It will leave a bad taste in my mouth." Eleanor had already made up her mind.

" Yes we are certain." David responded.

" Was he the person who was involved with the trafficking scandal? Was that the cause?" Nathaniel asked. He had heard about it, but such cases were sporadic. It brought great shame to the British government, which was why they were intensely cracking down on it.

" That is a possibility but I don't thing it was their first time meddling in our business." Jane said.

" Please explain." Robert asked.

" It was when we found our first clue that the Medici family was connected. We found red dotted marks on secret letters they used for information exchange. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence, but the number of red dots symbolized ranks.

Foot soldiers had one mark, while Grant had three dots. Sniper was ranked higher in four spots, meaning he was very skilled and strongly connected to the guild.

That was when I began to suspect a connection, so I looked up the incident regarding the Hanson family."

" About my mother?" Oscar was the only one present from Hanson's side. He could guess what Jane was talking about.

" Yes, it's about Lady Olivia. That was done by the guild, although they were directly responsible but they acted on the command of Hanson branch family members." Jane explained.

" I think we can all agree that this has gone too far." Laura said.

" What should be the 'punishment'?" Nathaniel asked. They had already touched everyone's bottom line, but he was not ready to bring hell to innocent people.

" We could erase that guild right?" Steve finally opened his mouth, but he said something dangerous.

They discussed and, after some time, came to a conclusion. If the guild suddenly vanished, it would be a completely different problem. Such lawlessness would affect the ordinary citizen the most, which they wanted to avoid.

But at the same time, they wanted to teach them a lesson. They had to know who they messed with, which would also be an example for others.

" Sir, If I may?" Drac asked. He had a perfect solution for their current dilemma.

" Speak," Kenneth said. He didn't know much about Samuel's team but was familiar with their role in the group. Drac was a sensible fellow with a good connection; he understood 'them' better than everyone here.

" I suggest we took over the guild and destroy it slowly from the inside. We can also transform it as a information agency, their connection could bear some fruits in future."

" What about the current regime? They would not hand over to us so easily." Robert asked.

" That is why we will 'make' them, no matter how strong they are they would not be able to withstand the current strength of people in this room." He explained.

" One-sided massacre? That's my cup of tea." Steve supported his friend's idea.

" Yes, we could judge them based on their history. I believe Medici still have some good people who are struggling under the current head. For their soldiers, we could give them a choice it will be up to them if they have sense of judgement."

" Ok, I like it. David, please see to it; I believe everyone agrees to it." Kenneth looked across the room, and seeing no objection, he greenlit the plan.

" It will be done. I just ask if you could let Uncle Arthur accompany us, I know he is retired but it will make things easier if the 'TRIGON' helped us this time around." David said with a smile.

" Trigon?" Steve and his team asked. They had never heard about such a person in the Rothschild family.

" Kid, I told you not to call me that!" Arthur whispered in David's ears.

" Very well, Are you up to it?" Kenneth asked while looking at him.

" Yes, It will be done." It's not like he had any problem with taking on the task, he just hated the name. It reminded him about his embarrassing past.

" Prepare the black envelopes. Make it in large quantities; we have a lot to go through." Kenneth said. His voice was neither loud nor low, but others could notice some sadness.

​ This concluded the meeting; it would be the first time in decades that the mysterious entity known as 'Trigon' would resurface.

At the same time, the Guild master of AXA received a piece of alarming news. One of his most trusted advisors brought him a document concerning his son's recent activities. He couldn't seem to get a strange feeling in his heart when he finished reading it.

" What was he up to?" He thought as he turned over the page. He was shocked to read the report but couldn't help but laugh out loud with joy.
