CHAPTER 7
As Phileo walked into the house, it reeks of blood as the whole house was covered in blood. It was brutal that Phileo dropped his phone while observing the whole scene. He clenched his fists as he looked at how horrible the house was. It was something that they won't allow. This could only be done by that one syndicate whose origin is still unknown.
The Lycoris Syndicate.

"Ahh! If it isn't my favored Jester." Someone happily greeted the woman who walked confidently inside the room. Every walk she takes made everyone smile. She strode her hips, like a model in the runaway. The woman sat down and removes her mask that covers half of her face. She was greeted with men-high profile men that you would not want to mess with.
"Shut the crap, I did what you told me to do." She said and smirked at them, showing how perfect her teeth were. "As expected of my Jester, you wouldn't fail your mission." The boss spoke as he showed his golden tooth.
"You know me, Boss. I hate failing so much." She commented as she laid her back in the chair, purring like a cat. Finally! A rest after all the work she has to do. "Those Lycoris shits think they run the whole underworld. Feels like a joke to me." An Elder spoke while he scoffed.
"We still hold the biggest syndicate. Not some newcomers. Speaking of, How's she doing?" The boss asked the woman who was sitting comfortably. The boss specifically implied she, was the leader.
"She's starting to doubt that there's an intruder among us. God, she's blind for not noticing me, who acts suspiciously! Extremely, I guess I finally caught her under the trap." She said arrogantly as her face showed how confident she was.
"She's wary? That's not good you fool!" The elder shouted only to be glared at by the woman. She glared at him, cold icy glares were thrown at the elder, making him feel fear. "Listen very well Mr. It was your fault that you killed the whole Goyo Family and left something stupid! You cunt! You shouldn't have left that flower!" She retorted and was about to punch the elder but the man who sat tall, threw a weapon-a kunai at the woman's face, wounding her cheek.
"Don't act too arrogant. We didn't send a flower, that flower. It was them who sent their flower. He just wiped out his whole family to add more drama to their Syndicate. To add more internal and external conflict. You worry too much, my favorite Jester. She may be wary of us, but she hasn't discovered us. Let alone have evidence to clear their suspicions. As long as we slowly push the blame unto the right woman she always with, it's impossible for her to identify it was us." The man said, grinning ear to ear.
"Oh yeah, that bitch is too much. Owning the spotlight as if it's hers." She sourly commented disgust on her face as she remembers the lad with a mask, always on Andrea's side. "My Jester, with you we can destroy them more. I hope they will always include you during meetings or events." An Elder said and laughed aloud.
Everyone was laughing as the blame was pushed on the Lycoris Syndicate, making their plan walk the path of success. "How about we drop their next plan?" She suddenly asked making everyone stop. "That's a great idea." Someone said but immediately got knocked down by the boss.
"We do not give an easy death for our enemies, you bastard. Since when have we been given an easy death? Foolish child." The leader commented angrily and started hissing towards the elder who recommended the next plan. "But, I like it." He added making all of them sigh in peace. The leader was a twisted person that everyone cannot read especially her.
"What's the next agenda of that lily, my Jester?" The person asked the masked lady who was sitting on his lap purring like a cat who was addicted to its owner. "Meeting up for smuggled goods at Antonio's Fair, the abandoned port." The masked lady replied to the man whose grin went wide.
"I see. Let's just give them an easy problem, don't you think so, Jester?" He asked as he lowered his hand on her waist and kissed her neck, seducing the lady on his lap. "My, what a benevolent enemy you are, Monsieur." She said and giggled.
All the elders stared at them, flirting and kissing. Of course, they were disgusted but they can't act like that in front of the leader himself. They avoided their ey and started to open up some more ideas to ruin the Lycoris Syndicate.
Suddenly, a smirk crossed the Leader's lips as he pushed the Jester away from him slowly. He looked at his men sitting across him, grinning ear to ear. Fear creeps into their backs as cold sweats run down their forehead.
"Pig, drop their location to the one who's handling the case. Peacock handles the smuggled goods and replaced them with our men also the product. Let's create a wonderful disaster, shall we everyone?" He said joyously and laughed like a madman while the Jester on his lap smiled as she watched him, happily.
"Ahh, another one. Koi leaked the news. Everyone deserves to know how they will handle this shit." He smiled evilly while the elder whose codename is Koi smiled at him and nodded. There was something in the smile that freaks the leader but just shrugged it off. May be related to how he will handle the leaking of news.
"Well gentlemen, we shall enjoy the movie today." He said maniacally and laughed like a jackal. Everyone grabbed their wines and raised them in the air, toasting. The man named Koi looked at them happily, as if it was something funny to observe.

"Who the hell did this?" General Felipe asked, shocked at the news that welcomed him. The place was showered with blood, as their lifeless and headless bodies were scattered everywhere.
"None other than the top syndicate, General," Phileo spoke up as he was examining every inch of the house. There was no physical evidence, the murderer left the house clean, without even being spotted by just a small piece of evidence. The hopes of solving this crime were at the bottom, not even 5%
"I see. It'll be hard to solve this problem. Especially since there are no clues about the perpetrator." General Felipe said and sighed as he started to massage his temple. This mess couldn't be left undone, especially since it involves the biggest syndicate that they couldn't manage to subdue.
"General, Lieutenant Colonel, Good Morning." A soldier rushed by, saluting Phileo and General Phileo. "A call from the President." He reported and held a phone, with the President looking at them.
"Salutations to the Commander in Chief." Phileo and General Felipe greeted the President, saluting. The President tiredly nodded and closed his eyes. His eyes were red and dark eye bags were under his eyes. Fatigue was visible but the President stayed strong as if his life depends on the news.
"I know, you don't need to speak." He said as General Felipe was about to report the massacre that happened. "Dismiss the case." He said leaving the two shocked at what he just said.
