Hollywood Zenith

" Don't you know they have eyes everywhere? We also have a new addition so you should respect his right to privacy." The man sitting in the middle added. He appeared to be the mediator both from the sitting arrangement and the tone of his voice.

" Ho ho, this old man didn't expect you would bring such dangers to our doorsteps. Don't you fear what would happen if he was a spy of from the family?" With a slightly husky tone, there was no need to guess the age of the man. He was the oldest among them and was rightly named as sly fox because how long he lasted inside this group.

He was the most cautious and sneaky old man that survived countless espionage and assassination attack from his enemies but still lived to tell the tale. If not for the importance of this meeting he wouldn't have come out of his hole.

" I know there has been a lot of rumours floating about me but I am only here as a replacement until I fulfill my objective. My foolish father refused to head my warning which led me to take matters into my own hands." He said in a respectful tone but it was clear he was looking down on them.

They could at most be considered the elders from the six families but he was a direct lineage meaning he had right to inherit the throne unlike them who only schemed behind the scenes to pick up bread crumbs!

If he didn't lose support from his family temporarily, he would never have accepted to meet these old fools. But he was sugar coating his words briefly until he achieved his objective.

" Why are you so worried old man? It's not like I didn't see the fifty elite soldiers that you brought with you. I don't even know how you manage to borrow them from your family. Aren't they elites that are stationed to protect the head of the family?" One of them said with a chuckle.

" I will tell you if you let me borrow those snipers you stationed around this place. Are they precious resources of your family too?"

" Urgh..this old bas-"

" Stop. We are not here for a dick measuring contest! No matter the rivalry between the six families we always operated together to take advantage of that friction. Do I have to remind why I have bring this young man here? That old fogey's health is deteriorating so fast that he couldn't even escape that Moldova."

" Wasn't he going to obtain a donor? What happened?"

" It's not clear. I can't carelessly make a move since Europe is not our territory, if they find us operating in other family's land it will only bring trouble our way but I can at least say that a Rothschild had some hand in disrupting his plan."

" I thought the Paris incident was reported as gang violence. How come our contacts in the government haven't reported anything about it?" Old man squinted finding the situation absurd.

There was nothing they couldn't find out with their connections so it was surprising how the news didn't reach them. Was someone blocking it? Impossible! Even if it were the Rothschild, there was no way their people would fear them.

" Was it Samuel?" The young man asked.

" It appeared so. That's what I find troublesome. Even if he made a name for himself and amass some money he couldn't even be compared to a toe of any of six families."

" Motherfucker!" The young man suddenly lost his cool. Samuel name seemed to be a trigger for him.

" You know him?" The mediator questioned. Others also noticed his lapse in judgement, especially old man who smiled. They were master manipulators and the young man had given them one of his weaknesses involuntarily.

" We had some dealings in the past." Young man immediately composed himself. He was aware how these old foxes operate, he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

" Isn't it more plausible that Rothschild family themselves had a hand in this? The six families have underestimated them long enough, they are not much worse when compared to them." he continued.

" Pff~ Hahahaha, youngsters these days knows how to joke around. No matter how much worms crawl and wiggle around they could never avoid being stomped out." One of them ridicules him for his absurd stance.

" That's where you are wrong, even an ant can kill an elephant if it tried. I don't know about you but I have personally met him. You are also forgetting they have close dealings with Morgan family and The British royal family." Old man surprisingly came to young man's rescue.

" Even then, they shouldn't be able to block the news so thoroughly. Is it one of the six family hiding their embarrassing defeat? But I have seen the head of that family, he didn't appear to particularly care of these minor issue."

" Right, they are also in a fierce succession battle. From the reports, the second received unexpected support from somewhere which made him come toe to toe with the leading contender. With their third young master out of the race because of this incident, I think we can expect a clear victor in few years." It was a good news for them.

They could lure in the unsuspecting victor to their side which would bolster their own forces up several notches.
