2.17 Getting owned.
To Blue Lotus, no matter how much they hated Varkus Maisel or Marshall Maisel. He was important to them.
The amount of Blue Lotus member's killed by Varkus's hand were enormous. But all of it was done for a specific purpose.
All of it was done to attract his attention for the day he would be needed.
And that day was soon going to come, and through some series of terrorist attacks on the masses of the city, they intended to attract the Marshall that had earned his name as the killer of Blue Lotus cult members.
But before they could carry on with their plan, the rat king had suggested to them the alternative.
"Kill his kid… I will kill him, so you shouldn't worry and eat some popcorn while waiting for the good news."
Was the Rat King's suggestion, which he made in a playful way, appearing completely uncaring towards their own opinion.
