In a big three-story building surrounded by bustling city life, a meeting was held inside a large hall filled with fifty people and 20 guards. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
At the end of this hall, were seven thrones and except for the last one on the far right end, six peak grandmaster personas were sitting on these thrones while exuding bits of their kingly and regal aura.
A mage donned in black robes, a three meter tall silver werewolf, a golden-haired halfbreed tengu with two black wings, a four meter tall giant redhead man, a frail-looking gray haired human, a long green haired man had taken up their seats on these six thrones.
In front of them were two long tables where 20 people sat on each side, all of them dressed in warrior gears and mage outfits.
A middle-aged dwarf dressed in noble attire knelt on one knee as he spoke to the six people occupying the thrones.
"We have finally taken over all the other organizations that opposed us after your lordships assumed the command.
Thanks to the might of the Sins, no peak grandmaster who can oppose us or tried to take over our businesses and networks is alive."
His humble tone received only praise from all the attendees who came to the meeting.
The next moment, the silver werewolf whose head was of a wolf with an upper body full ripped and bulging muscles along with legs of a normal human stood up, speaking in a domineering voice.
"Then tell me our total strength and the profits we've gained over the past two months. I want the detailed information and how we can expand over." ordered the silver werewolf.
"Lord Raiden, currently we have two hundred and eighty thousand people working for us if we combine all the different sections and organizations that work for us.
And after tallying the numbers, expenses and emergency funds we need from the previous two months. The current profits are 13 billion gold coins altogether." replied the dwarf in a respectful tone.
Multiple gasps full of surprise came from the people belonging to various species in the large hall. None of them were able to believe the amount of money they heard just now.
"Good enough. Still, it's only enough to be comparable to a prestigious noble clan. We won't hold off if a true superpower decides to meddle in or tries to oppress us in the future.
We need security measures.. Especially against Semi-Saints and Saints." spoke Raiden.
Suddenly, one of the occupants of thrones spoke in a calm demeanor.
"Raiden, killing a saint is currently beyond our abilities. Even the 2 warships we've acquired recently can not kill a saint. But it should be enough to kill a semi-saint easily." spoke the green-haired man dressed in black assassin clothes.
"Scorpion.. It's exactly our ignorance that dooms us in the end. You can never be too careful." replied the wolfkin whose bright red eyes and long claws were visible to see for everyone present in the meeting.

"My my… why are you guys getting worked up for? It's not like we don't have a semi-saint of our own. It won't take our lord even six months to become a saint. So take things easy, will ya?" spoke the blonde tengu who was a hybrid between humans and tengu species.
Silence.. The entire hall went silent.
After having their eyes wide open with another shock, the members sitting on the chairs, who were part of the line of command, started whispering amongst themselves.
The dwarf who was shivering & having goosebumps on his body shifted his gaze to the silver-haired mage donned in the black robes.
"Lo.. Lord Loki, is this true? Is Lord Icarus speaking truth?" asked the dwarf in utter disbelief.
The building where this meeting was being held was the current headquarters of the Seven Deadly Sins. And the people sitting on these thrones were none other than Omega and the Six Generals in their alter egos as the leaders of this underworld organization.
Except for Blackwall, everyone had assumed command of this organization and had been running different sectors under their lead.
Ever since they took over hydra and united all the separate organizations under one banner, they had plenty of their fair share of others trying to kill them or overtake their positions. And many people including peak grandmasters were no exceptions.
Many leaders and forces of the opposition organizations who were in a power struggle came after the Seven Deadly Sins and tried to decimate it to the ground so they could rule over the power hydra once held in Rukon District.
But none of them in their wildest dreams had an idea that unlike Hydra, the Seven Deadly Sins actually had a line of peak grandmasters working together while sharing the same goal.
In the past month alone, the Sins had killed off 13 peak grandmasters fighters from the enemy side and took their bodies as trophies while only sending their heads back to their organization.
The only mercy they showed to these forces was that they gave them one final chance to surrender and join their organization in servitude. And all those who refused or tried to revolt were massacred in a bloodbath.
The sins killed more than 30 thousand people in the past 2 months who opposed their rule. And amongst this group.. Two monsters were feared by everyone the most.
One being none other than Loki who never spared a single life or gave them a painless death. While the other one was Dante, who was the alter ego of Jugram, the Berserker subordinate amongst the general. Dante was nicknamed as the Sin of Wrath.
This man alone killed an entire army of two thousand enemies in a single night. And when the battlefield was cleared.. Only the charred and torn bodies were left as if all of them were killed by a demon who came straight from hell.
No one ever found how these two did it but by looking at the aftermath… nobody dares to question their strength.
Raiden, the alter ego of Omega, was already nicknamed as the White Yaksha by the enemies. Given how fast he was on the battlefield and how his katana, a type of sword none of them ever heard of, swiftly cut all of the enemies in two with a single slash.
All they ever saw was a white flash passing through before their ultimate demise.
And Scorpion, the alter ego of Ronin was something nobody ever wanted to fight in a head-on battle. Because every time this assassin fought, a dense white fog filled the battlefield and all the onlookers ever heard was the pitiful and pleading screams of the enemies as if they were scared to death before actually falling to his daggers.
Icarus, the alter ego of Oliver, was someone who had shown everyone how dangerous a flying enemy can be. Because he once burned down the headquarters of an enemy force by attacking from the sky while being completely untouched by their arrows and magic cannons.
The Sins had caused terror between all the criminal organizations and underworld rackets in just two months alone. And soon, the Seven Deadly Sins rose to a level of power and authority that even the hydra in its decades of history never achieved.
Every single one of these peak grandmasters was many times stronger than others of the same levels and ranks.
"Yes. If you're lucky, you will meet our Master..." replied Loki in an elated tone.
At this very moment inside the Wayne Manor, a young man who was completely in a trance while controlling 4 different elemental spells at the same time released a burst of red & black aura that shook the entire room.
A halo of something mystical encapsulated his body and after few minutes, the aura in this room subsided. Kahn slowly opened his eyes with a content look.
His face turned joyful as soon as he heard a notification in his head.
