While Arnold was handling things on his end, the syndicate was having their own troubles to take care of. The source of trouble was the swamp, or the area now known as 'Barrenlands'.
The pitch-black atmosphere of the room currently being occupied by the leaders of the families was cold. Very cold. The only source of light in the room was an overhead LED, but no... It didn't require electricity to operate.
Mere presence on mana was sufficient to light it up. Under the light was a large, round table completely made of black wood also known as Ebony. Around the table were the remaining heads of the family, behind each of them was a bodyguard/assistant. Nicole was currently occupying the role of Nathan's bodyguard.
Right now, there were two issues they needed to address. One, the task to retake the swamp was a failure. Why? Because there was no swamp to retake. Everything was obliterated because of the nuke.
