Remzi had no idea about their objectives, or the benefit they could have derived by attacking Syma, but that mystery made the mastermind all the more interesting.
"You just have to win the trust of the cults and through them we would uncover the identity of the forces that are still hidden in the darkness, far away from the eyes of the world. If we succeed in doing so, then you would be able to return as one of the heroes of the world... a protector of justice and the masses alike.
"We can then frame Matthew as someone who was with the cults and was trying to frame you to remove a potential obstacle from his path."
Arnold couldn’t help but open his mouth in disbelief.
"From a villain to a hero... a simple yet efficient plan, isn’t it?"
Remzi asked, but received no response from Arnold who still had his mouth hanging open.
The plan sounded simple, but there were many challenges in completing it, the primary being the assassination of Matthew Pierre.
Matthew wasn’t some random officer of the authorities.
He was one of the head strategists of the organization in the Veltran Empire, as well as a strong fighter himself.
Taking him out without causing too much of a scene or chaos would be challenging, but it wasn’t like Arnold was a nobody either.
Being a Platinum 5 ranker, Arnold’s expertise in combat was one of the best out there in his given rank.
Still, killing Matthew would be a task of tremendous difficulty for the Levaith.
But it wasn’t like Arnold was alone. Remzi’s support in strategies and infiltrating the base of the authorities would reduce the difficulty of the mission by a lot.
And eliminating Matthew from the board would be more useful to Remzi than it would be for Arnold, after all, that was why Remzi had asked Sasha to report her statement as a witness in such a way that it would ultimately fall on the ears of Matthew and not someone else.
People believed in killing two birds with one stone, Remzi, on the other hand, was of the idea to use a single stone to eliminate the entire bloodline of those flying pests.

"Please wait in the lounge for the time being."
The receptionist politely motioned the delegation from Eloran Alchemists’ as they stood behind their leader... the one who was currently leading the group on the orders of Lord Xavier.
"Sure."
Nodding his head, Irtuk gave a polite smile to the receptionist before walking in the direction of the lounge.
They were currently in the headquarters of Syma Alchemists’ in the Eloran Empire... the territory owned and controlled by House Elor.
After the coordinated and organised attacks against Syma and its allies... the top businesses in Jutan had suffered the most, and Eloran Alchemists’ were among those that were affected due to the immense loss of goodwill in the eyes of the masses as a result of rumours that the rivals of Syma in banking and Alchemy were the sponsors of the attack.
Eloran Alchemists’ as well as all the banks that had been targeted by the combined ire of the people had tried their best to prove their innocence, but rumours... once the fire had been spread, it couldn’t be stopped no matter how much the guild tried.
Many among the public had now stopped doing business with Syma’s rival guilds and banks... and those who were already in some contract or the other with the rival businesses of Syma had reduced the frequency of their operations.
Syma had continued its charity programme even after suffering devastating losses, which had triggered a flood of goodwill from a majority of the masses.
But the support that everyone had begun to offer Syma wasn’t only because of the goodwill that Syma had earned across the world.
No.
The support was also due to the fact that the majority amongst the masses, including the various trading houses and merchants across Jutan, had been dissatisfied with the way that the top businesses in Jutan always worked.
The topmost businesses had always used their monopoly over certain segments in the market to amplify their already existing gains, which were monstrous compared to the average businesses in the world.
But having no other substitutes to rely on, the entire economy of the world had to willingly or unwillingly depend on guilds like the Eloran Alchemists’ as well as the banks commonly known as the Big Three.
At least that was how the economic world had suffered till date, but everything had changed after the sudden arrival of Syma... which had quickly grown in its size to become a behemoth of the business world.
Syma’s entry into the economic world was like a wild card that had destabilised and turned the entire hierarchy of the business world upside down in a successful attempt to become one of the major economic powers... and had also become something that was now considered unrivalled— as Syma was equally dominant in Alchemy as well as the banking sector... with both the businesses being the core of the world’s economy.
So as to salvage the situation in any way possible, the entire leadership of the Eloran Alchemists’ had devised a number of plans in order to gain back control over the market, but—
Xavier Elor had different thoughts about it.
When Irtuk had mentioned about forming a cooperative relationship with Syma, everyone had rejected his claims, but after the meeting had ended, it was Xavier who had ordered Irtuk to lead the cooperation agreement between the two guilds.
Now, though Xavier had said it in reference to the possibility of there being a failure in the plans that were being made by the guild at that given point in time to cooperate with the Big Three amongst the banks and financially weaken Syma... the order still held.
That was why Irtuk was here on behalf of the guild so as to forge an agreement of cooperation with Syma Alchemists’.
The goal was to show the friendly relations between two behemoths of the alchemy world.
