044 Spider II

Eve continues to give reports after reports on the Identity and background of the officers and elders of the Spider organization. Everyone who doesn't know the identity of Eve, which is pretty much everyone except those that come from the system and Arc. They are all amazed by her knowledge, of course, they all attribute it to the enigmatic organization behind them and the hidden leader of the Shadow units and the Army. There are many urban legends popping up among the Shadow units on how their organization manages to gather all the intel they are receiving and the person behind the voice of Eve.

And because they are warned not to ask questions about it, the legends just keep getting bigger and bigger. Some even guess that Eve is not a single person, but the name of a secret group like them, and that Eve is a group that specializes in gathering information. Some also believe that Eve is a group composed of several hackers. Ruby and Jem when they heard it just laugh and don't pay much attention to it. But at the same time, they warned them not to dig too deep about Eve.

But that warning only fueled their curiosity, fortunately, they are all well-trained and know how to control themselves, but that doesn't stop them from making a bet on the identity of Eve and anyone who can guess would take all the credit that is getting bigger and bigger as the days went on.

The rules of the bet are simple, for every guess they need to put 100 credits in the pot. And anyone has 10 chances to submit their guess. And if multiple people make the same guess, if they are correct the pot would be divided among them. Unfortunately, it's a bet that won't be resolved any time soon.

As everyone continues to listen to Eve's report she suddenly stops, and silence remains for about a minute Arc Feels his heartbeat accelerate for a moment, then Ruby's voice suddenly rang up

"ETA 10 minutes"

When they heard it, they all sync their watches.

Inside the main headquarters of The Spider, the minions are busy accommodating and guiding the Elders and Leaders, even the officers to their respective places.

Everyone inside can feel the tension and heavy atmosphere as the top members of The Spider arrived and are guided one by one.

Almost no one can be heard talking except for the footsteps and the minions guiding and leading the top members to their respected seats no one talks idly all of them received the same report they know the implication involved regarding war with the Morgan Family, each one of them will be affected if this war started, and although they are not afraid they must remain vigilant as a war with the Morgan Family has a potential to destroy their so-called invincible organization.

"How reliable is this information?" one elder finally break the ice of silence almost everyone suddenly switches their attention and focuses on him, the immediate attention almost flustered him, but he didn't show it on his face, he remained expressionless.

The elder opposite of him replied, "it's not completely verified, but the news of the Morgan Family being active and making many hidden moves has been verified, and all communication we have to the Morgan Family has been suddenly cut off. The reports of our spies and the information we bought from The Speakers matches the information we have about the Morgan Family's sudden activities."

"Just how much power they have managed to accumulate for them to have the guts to make a move on us, even by chance they won against us the damage they will sustain will also be massive, and many top organizations will not let that opportunity go." said another elder.

"Hmmp, that's only in the premise that our power is on the same scale, what if they manage to acquire power a few times more powerful than us? The Morgan Family is not stupid, they know what a war with us entailed and the only explanation I can find is that they were able to gather powers several times more than us without us knowing." stated one of the leaders

The conversation and arguments continued most just listened and didn't partake in the conversation the officers, on the other hand, have no right to join in the conversation between elders and leaders, the only thing they can do is listen.

The conference room of The Spider is circular three half rings on both sides and the center is a slightly elevated circular platform with a massive flat chair on it, the elders are closer to the center behind them the leaders, and further back is the officers.

Fancy food and wine were served in front of them, but the quality also differs. From the elders to the leaders there's not much difference in quality but from leaders to officers there is a massive quality difference but none present cares about it, most didn't even look at it except the officers who have nothing to do but listen are eating and drinking of course only moderately.

This massive Conference room is only being used every 10 years or if any important issue affects them all. Only the Head has the power to gather all the top members of the spider.

No leaders, not even the elders, have the right to use the conference room. This room is called The Web except for the head of The Spider, The Web is a sacred place to The Spider organization every major event happens here on the Web, the appointment of elders and leaders can only be done here, and the head can exert his or her full power here, in other words, the Web is like the throne of the head of The Spider, and in here no one has the right to undermine the power of the Head, or it will be considered as treason and no one wants to be labeled as Traitors, especially in the organization like The Spider, for death is the most generous rewards given to the betrayer.

Most traitors are still suffering in the basement of the headquarters, wishing for death that never seems to find them.

Suddenly, all sounds suddenly disappeared one by one, and footsteps could be heard from the center of the Web. Everyone suddenly stood up and bowed no one is an exception, not even the elders.

A person can be seen slowly walking towards the center and into the massive chair that can fit five people seating side by side with room to spare. The person then sits on it and puts their left leg up to take a thinking position.

"It has been a while gentlemen ease up and take your seat we have a long day ahead of us.." said the head of The Spider calmly.

"It's time! All units take out your target, this is it! Don't make a mistake, we can do this perfectly." Ordered Ruby calmly. She made a gesture and the shadow unit takes action.

At the same time Tom the overall commander of the Army also gave his command, the army is divided into three groups Jerry, Biggs, and Wedge are leading each group, and Tom is in the army command center overseeing the operation.

Arc can see all the movement of his men on a massive holographic projection operating in front of him, and he can control the projection with his mind it is a rank 5 device made by his ever-reliable multi-factory.

The holographic image is not your average laser base hologram, the image in front of are has no different from the real thing, this is a virtual reality holographic image. Arc can see everything as clearly as he was looking at it in person.

Tiffa is with him as well as Jarvis, as for the two maids they were dragged by his sisters along with Cosmos as they form a party of five, no four, and a dog in the training room hunting and playing at the same time.
