“..” After learning about Sansa’s ability and the various ways, she uses it. Lorenzo’s throat went dry such that he couldn’t even gasp in shock. Just the very thought that one of your trusted people would be a spy and you not knowing is dreadful enough. However, the idea that the spies themselves do not know that they are spies was frightening

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room turned severe, Anna switched the topic, ” On a less serious note, why are Sansa and her organization called Matron and Paw Clan? From the Information I have gathered, I know for fact Sansa is called Madame Web, and her Organization is called Madame Web’s Club. But according to you, in the future, she will be titled as Matron, and her organization will be called Paw Clan. Why is that? What changed? And what kind of a name is Paw Clan?” 

“..” Lorenzo stayed silent as he was still trying to digest the info he just got. Suddenly Lorenzo had a weird thought: what if such a thing were to happen to him? If somebody were to dig up his dirtiest secret and use it to force him into betraying his family and friends. Will he do it? Hell no, he would rather face the consequences head-on than betray his family or friends. Being punished for his crimes is better than becoming a traitor. 

Thinking of this, Lorenzo could not help but ask, “I do not understand how one can use someone’s darkest secrets to form an organization like that.” 

Lorenzo did not know that Sansa would not target people with little to hide. She has her template for selecting her victim. Her victims have always been people with lots to hide and the darkest secrets. And not to mention the merit and reward system that she has in place for her victims. 

“According to the card emperors I interrogated, Sansa only recruits people with dark secrets. And also, her demands at first do not seem unreasonable. But over time, they turn into some tests to test the loyalty of the victims towards her organization and her. If they pass, they are eligible for the merit and rewards system. With enough merits, the Victims can exchange anything they desire. The organization will make sure of it thanks to its vast network. This is how Sansa converts her victims into willing perpetrators. It is almost like running a cult.” Speaking of Sansa and how she built her cult organization, Anna could not help but admire her. 

“What kind of desires can the merits buy?” Lorenzo could not help but ask. Compared to the welfare of the Heatsend Royal family, the Sansa’s Paw clan’s merit and reward system started to seem more enticing to him from the sound of it. 

“Anything from strength to authority to physical needs. 

You need resources for the breakthrough, you got it; 

You require somebody assassinated in a power struggle to climb ranks, done; 

You want to obtain somebody for yourself, consider them kidnapped. 

You fancy someone else’s ultimate Card, then consider it stolen. 

According to them, even an incomplete divinity is available for exchange. That’s how she has so many card demigods in her ranks.” Anna narrated the information that she gathered from the card emperors trapped in her Damned Arena.

“What an incomplete divinity is also up for grasp? Isn’t that only obtained by killing false demigods? How does she possess so many? ” Lorenzo was shocked hearing what enough merits could buy him in the Madame Web’s Club. No wonder the victims of Sansa had no trouble joining her and becoming a perpetrator themselves.

“With her origin card’s ability and massive organization supporting it, I don’t think she will have a hard time killing a few false demigods to extract their incomplete divinity to stock up her shelves,” Anna commented. 

“Yeah, but the question is, how is her organization going unnoticed after committing so many atrocities? Until yesterday I did not even think that there existed a shadow organization that was willing to send 30 card emperors to assassinate a mere card student.” Lorenzo was astonished by the capability of Sansa’s cult. 

“Come to think of it, why did Sansa want Wyatt dead?” Clown mask asked Anna. 

“This! the hostile card emperors said this assassination attempt on Wyatt was out of the blue and sudden. Sansa seemed to give a lot of importance to this assassination mission. And apparently, the merits awarded for the mission were very high. Except for this, they knew nothing else. I guess they did not bother asking why? What? Before taking the task posted by Sansa. After all, that would count as rebellion in the books of a tyrant boss like Sansa.” Anna did not manage to find anything regarding the reason behind the assassination attempt on Wyatt. 

“Well, isn’t that obvious? If Sansa plans on having the Heatsend Royal family and Osmond Royal Family crippling each other, families should have equal strength. 

But because of the Silver Milk Powder discovered by that boy Wyatt our family’s strength will soar to unimaginable heights in a few years. By then, even the Osmond family will no longer match the Heatsend family.

Hence she urgently wanted to dispose of Wyatt. And yesterday was the perfect chance for Sansa to assassinate him because all our forces were focused on Mission: Forsaken Treasure. 

Mission: Forsaken Treasure was planned months ago. Therefore Sansa got a lot of time to prepare for her ambush. But the assassination attempt was scheduled at short notice. Because of that, we did not face any false demigods assassins.” Lorenzo speculated. 

“Pretentious much old man? You are talking out of your ass as if you were there. Did you know Sansa Baylor, Young Demigod Baylor, and Wyatt’s parents were all friends? There are lots of think we need to take into consideration before we jump to a conclusion. What we should be talking about is how do we proceed with the information we have now? Whom do we share the information with?” Anna did not want to take a chance on why Sansa was after Wyatt. Because her mother’s background search on Wyatt and his parents showed that Mama Wyatt and Sansa Baylor were friends.
