As the Dark Knights continued their research and development of the superpower serum and degu firearms, one of their workers was approached by a member of a rival organization. This rival organization had been closely monitoring the Dark Knights' activities and was interested in obtaining their technology for their own purposes.
The rival organization offered the worker a large sum of money to provide them with information about the Dark Knights' research. The worker, who was struggling financially, saw this as an opportunity to improve his life and accepted the offer.
The rival organization then used the information they obtained to spread rumors and leaks about the Dark Knights' activities in the underground. This caused other organizations to take notice and begin gathering information about the Dark Knights.
