"It is not her retribution. It was their punishment for trying to kill the heiress. And again, it is not her nor anyone from the Society who sent the assassin. If we are going to kill you, we will do it ourselves," There was a sinister glint in Arthur's eyes making anyone who saw it believe his words.
"And besides, the heiress is too soft-hearted to order someone to kill people. Especially that she has a son too," Daniel pointed out shrugging his shoulders. Who knows that J's tender heart could be an advantage?
The Elders went silent, probably calculating Arthur and Daniel's words. Then after a couple of minutes, the oldest of them speak. "If not her, then who?"
There was amusement in Daniel's eyes as he asked. "How many have you offended before? I doubt if it is just us." He said, cocking his head to the side.
