Don was invited to a video conference hosted by world-top families, companies and guilds working behind the scenes that monopolize knowledge and control the majority of hyperbeings in the world. They discussed how to cope with the situation.
After their discussion, they had formulated a temporary solution, and they also put a big bounty on Sypher's head. The reward was ten billion dollars. Any small clue that would lead to his identity would be rewarded with a minimum of ten million dollars. They wanted to know the real identity of Sypher and let him experience hell, including anyone close to him, as a deterrent example. The rules they set could not be arbitrarily broken by anyone. Many people, hyperbeings or not, were tempted by the reward.
