Chapter 584 Black Swan-1

Few days ago in an undisclosed location-

" Lord, they are getting too close for comfort. Your subordinate urge you to do something." The butler took the knee and reported his latest finding to his master.

The young ma didn't look surprise like he expected this development. With how persistent, the Rothschild mainly Samuel, to find the truth they were bound to face one day. But he still insisted that it was not the right time whenever someone asked him to do something.

" Is he with them?" The butler knew his master tend to protect the young enemy for some reason but he didn't hesitate to reply in negative. Being the heir to the throne, he could never show any reluctance or disrespect toward him because it could lead him to death.

" Alright, why are they so persistent? I never thought they will actively seek their death!"

" Master, from the rumours they are searching for the little girl's parents that slipped away in Paris."

" Oh? How is he doing by the way? Is he dead yet? Last I heard he was butchering people left and right trying to find a proper heart." Only his master could address a successor from the six family so casually. Old man knew that for him, every human was the same.

" He is getting by, your father seemed to disclose one of family's technology because he brought him some 'gifts'."

When the young man heard his butler mention his father, a tint of anger flashed in his eyes but he immediately calmed down before the old man noticed.

" So? They don't a replacement heart?"

" Not for two-three years."

" Fine since it's a unfortunate development tweak our proposal to all three heirs and tell the head that the promise of getting the Rothschild off their trafficking business will be fulfilled in few days. Just tell them to cut off their more open market, it was a bad idea to begin with."

" Yes lord but-"

The young man raised his hands to signify he was not finished speaking. The old butler immediately bowed down knowing his mistake.

" Grab some information about the girl's origin and distribute it on reliable channel. It's to spread but only if someone specifically came looking for it. It's impossible for them to be alive but at least that would get the damn Rothschild off my subordinate's business and." he paused and thought for a minute.

"Where are they currently?"

" The Balkan states, Bosnia. They seem to have the location of their next target. Do you want me to alert the base?" The old man asked, in that way they could be better prepared or even bring home a well deserved win.

" No let them be, who else knows about this?"

" No one, it's the courtesy of our large spy network-"

" Zero?"

" Yes sir."

" That's impressive. I seem to have underestimated Zero for his double agent capabilities. Don't alert anyone for now, let them run wild and don't leave any clues behind. They will run around like headless chickens for a while now."

" What about the intel that about the girl's parents?"

" Don't make it too obvious. If we deliberately place them in plain sight, they might get suspicious."

" Yes lord."

" Bosnia, Bosnia...right. I have a perfect plan and a good parting gift." The young man thought of a great idea and began telling his butler what he needed to do.

The old butler first thought, they would send their own army to ambush them but there was no need to get their hands dirty and expose their presence yet. With the young man's plan, if everything went as he predicted, Samuel might lost few of his loyal subordinate which would be a perfect response to his recent shenanigans. 

" That's brilliant sir! But will they respond?"

" Respond? If the right people find out about a human trafficking base in their vicinity, with the countries history, they might get bombed to smithereens!" The young man chuckled thinking about what sort of face his enemy would make hearing that he didn't have anything left of his people to bury!

" Go and do a proper job this time."

" As you wish." The butler left and the young man again delved into his thoughts just like he was before he was disturbed. No one knew why he always brooded but it didn't matter, he handled his duty with perfection that's all that mattered to his family or his people.

...

Balkans, easternmost of Europe's three great southern peninsulas and were also sometimes called the Southeastern Europe. The Balkans were usually characterized as comprising Albania, Bulgaria, etc and especially Bosnia and Herzegovina which just exited the worst decade in it's history.

The term "Balkans" was freighted with negative connotations associated with the region's history of ethnic divisiveness and political upheaval. But nothing screamed divisiveness than a war, the bosnian war.

There was always an aggressor in any conflict because every war started with someone provoking the other side so much that they had to put up arms to defend their hometown. That's exactly what happened with Bosnia.

The spark was the divide among different ethnic people, that led to the collapse of the larger state leading them into a civil war with different states demanding independence. The military tried to stop it but ultimately failed miserably.

Too many lives were lost and even cities that flourished just few years ago were not deserted. But the crime continued, the more powerful regions began hunting civilians that were remotely associated with another faction.

There were many peacekeeping organization flooding in the country trying to assist the native population but everything changed on day when they were left to watch from the side lines as the army invaded their bases and dragged people away while killing many in the process.

It became so bad that the UN had to step in and bomb few places to finally agree both parties for a peace talk. The situation finally resolved but the scars of the tragedy was still fresh which was exactly what Samuel's enemy was going to utilize!
