    Location- Sky Blossom City, Outskirts, Underground Base


    Heading out, Norman summoned his grimoire and made contact with Sansa.


    “Grey fur, you are done already. That was fast.” Sansa answered the call and was surprised to hear from Grey Fur so soon.


    “Not yet, Madam. We are yet to start. Other teams haven’t arrived but we have done initial reconnaissance. And everything is within madam’s n. Once all the team gather we n to distract the boy’s protectors while Flower thief tries to kidnap the boy. We n on using the boy as a hostage to escape and then get rid of him.” Grey Fur exined the reason for the dy and his n step by step. This way Sansa would not me him for calling her prematurely.


    “This must not be the only reason why you called me? What is it?” Sansa asked impatiently


    “I called to report about Flower Thief.” Grey fur was trying to do extra credits in Sansa’s books. It was due to teacher pet’s like Grey fur, Sansa did not have a hard time managing her secret organisation.


    The senior members of the organisation have grown so dependent on the secret organisation that they protect it and make sure that the organisation continues to grow untraced. And also help Sansa manage and keep tabs on the new members so that they do not do something stupid. Sansa’s secret organisation is now basically functioning by itself. Except for recruiting new interns and solving asional disputes Sansa’s role in her organisation was decreasing but this did not mean that her control over the organisation members decreased instead it only grew stronger.


    “What about him? Did he try something funny? Should I suppress and check his memory remotely.” Sansa thought that Norman must have tried to escape or something. So she decided to shut him down remotely.


    “No, Madam. your n was a sess. That kid is ying right in your hands. He could not resist the idea of bing the future Jones family head. But I will still keep my eyes on him for now. He is no longer a reluctant participant and is showing initiative.” Grey Fur reported the change in Norman and him showing Initiative.


    “Good. There is no surprise there they always do.” Sansa answered nonchntly.


    “It’s because madam knows how to select the perfect interns. With Flower thief in our hands, we have made it into the Jones family. Next, which family are we targeting madam?” Norman knew the key reason they were able to break Norman was because of his weak personality. Sansa knew how to select them.


    “You are enthusiastic as ever Grey fur. But for now, finish that Boy. I do not want him stepping into the capital. I had tried so hard to get rid of that troublesome Ellen but even after death she still somehow manages to trouble me. Give that boy the most painful death you can think of. Only then will my anger recede.” Sansa ordered Grey fur to kill Wyatt in the most painful way he can think of.


    “Do not worry madam, your salve will not disappoint you.” Grey fur humbly epted Sansa’s order.

    Date- 27 Mar 2321


    Time- 14:30


    Location- Sky Blossom City, Whiteburn Manor, Whiteburn Family Conference hall.


    “If everybody is here then let’s start with discussing the number of casualties during the ambush of demigod worshipers,” Jack announced themencement of the meeting.


    “Thanks to family guards fast response the casualties are limited to only 7 family staff.” The 7th elder reported the casualties during the ambush as asked by Jack.


    “How many of them very form the main family?” Jack asked the questions that most of the elders present in the hall were wondering.


    “None. The casualty was limited to branch family members.” The 7th elder answered without any feelings for the dead.


    “Good and what about property damage?” Jack did not dwell on the sacrifice of 7 branch family members. As if their deaths were not worth his concern. It seemed he was more eager to know if there is any casualties to main family members and how much property damage had taken ce.


    “The family dered martialw since the very beginning of the ambush so the property damage and casualties were kept to a minimum.” The 7th elder just followed Jack’s lead and report to what he was asked. It was as if they were ying a y.


    Jack had already read the report submitted by the 7th elder but the other elders and grand elders were yet to receive the report. So Jack asked the 7th elder all the questions that were in the minds of all the elders present in the conference. So that everyone is brought to the speed. But still Whiteburn family was a den of wild animals elders would not sit still as he acted y to show that his leadership was perfect and not to be questioned during the ambush.


    “Family head, please do not waste our time and skip to the main question that we all are here to ask. Why did the demigod work shippers only target our family and how did they know and were able to ess the family’s secret escape teleportation array?” The 21st elder was of the same generation as Jack and was one of the people who were stepped on by Jack to his climb to power. He was especially here to scrutinise Jack. Despite knowing the answers to all the questions he just asked he still brought up the following questions in the conference to put Jack in the hot seat.


    As expected 21st elders questions worked like a charm and the quiet conference hall turned rowdy in a matter of seconds,


    “Wait, our family had a hidden escape teleportation array? So the rumours were true.”


    “What? The demigod worshipers used our hidden teleportation array to attack our family manor. Howe I am getting to hear this now?”


    “That’s not important, how were they able to find the teleportation array and ess it? It’s only known to a few of us. Does this mean there is a traitor in our family”


    “The important question is why isn’t the family head asking these questions instead of unting the minimum casualties during the ambush.”
