A few days later Amaranth came up to him and Cobalt aside and asked "I've been thinking about the assault your team led on my family. How was it planned?" "Your family had employed some really tough people but we had info on all your travel routes and such so we picked the best place for an ambush and where you would all have your guard down. The info, I later discovered came from the inside, your people." "What do you mean there was only 4 people who knew all that information outside of the guard leader." "And he wouldn't have told a soul he was a good man loyal and trust worthy I worked with him on a few jobs even had some offers to join his group." "So basically you're saying my family was betrayed." "Yes I suppose I am. The best way to find out who is to think 'Who would have benefited the most with your family gone?' Do you know the names of the 4 people that new this info?" "Cross 2 off they were killed when your team attacked, so that leaves 2 we will have to find them." "Okay then, I'll set my network to look into it." "Your network?" "I have an information network I use for lots of things mainly for getting info on my targets or whatever the job is along with info on the people who hired me. I have lots of money. I'll have to give you a phone for them it will be encrypted so it can't be traced or hacked from either end."
A month passed the information network had finally collected all the data that was needed and he reviewed it on the way to today's hideout to meet with Amaranth and show her everything that was found out, man these people were going be hard to get to I mean lots and lots of body guards, rich people it was never simple they had lot of security and you could only get into the parties by invitation and what not. Well with all of this He figured if they were to have any chance at succeeding he had to tell her his last secret he wasn't sure how she would react but or even remember.
He arrived at the hideout and went in and she was there sitting in the room, it looked like she was thinking about something so she didn't notice him come in so he sneaked up and jumped up and came down with a loud thud and yelled "Remnant to Amaranth!" to which she fell off the couch and in the same instant punched him in the chest knocking him over too "Ow" they said at the same time "maybe that was a bad idea."he said to which she replied "Ya think."
"Anyhoo what were you thinking about?" "Oh just someone I haven't seen in a long time, I was very young at the time and so I don't remember much just some boy I would see, he was an odd little faunas boy he would follow me around most of the time or hiding in the bushes or trees he never spoke, I don't know why either my family never hired any faunas for our staff. OH! I just remember his name it was a really weird one too, Lupus Neko-" she cut off hearing him growl it sounded too much like a wild animal "I really really hated that name still do." she was stunned "Wait you were that weird little boy?" he explained "While yes your family didn't have any faunas in employ I was but not on any record I was still training with the people who raised me, I was good at what I do, I had even killed a guy before I met you and my main directive was to follow and observe not to interact. I'm surprised you remember."
With the trip down memory lane done he said "I think you should claim your family's assets and basically come out of hiding." she looked sideways at him "Why would I do that?" well if he were to tell her his plan might as well "The 2 people you wanted me to find I found them they be rich and we will need to act part of their world to get close to them besides, if you do came out of hiding they just might make a move because whatever they needed your family out of the way for they needed all of you out of the way which means even if you don't know how you just being alive could ruin the plans they have." she waited a bit to speak. "You do make an interesting point but how would I do that I've been gone for a long time?" "Well that's easy, we would just have to go and use your DNA to confirm who you are. I left a legal document saying that day with some high up people that the heir to the family would return plus I own the estate so it couldn't be taken or sold and what not, and as for me well I'm you trusty manservant/bodyguard who has- maybe I don't want to be your manservant cause I'd have to use THAT name."she jested at him. "Oh come on I like that name"
"As you wish M'lady. In all seriousness this is going to make the news go nuts. Speaking of did you see the news this morning-course it is probably still on right now its pretty big Beacon the hunter training school was attacked, it really sucks cause I was thinking of turning my company into a private security business and a few people I was scouting to join are missing." he sounded kinda disappointed "Oooooo that is bad." "More than you might think it appears the White Fangs helped, those assholes 'Oh we want equal treatment so lets attack a school training people to help protect everyone that way we are all equally screwed when the Grimm come calling' bunch of idiots I mean really if you want things to change for the better they should be out there helping people so peoples view of them and faunas in general changes for the better, I mean if you make people afraid of you ya it'll work for a while but when people get tired of being afraid they will come right in a beat your ass then its back to square one for everyone."
"Ha i just thought of something great if you were to make your comeback you'd probably have to act all weak and such like you don't know how to fight." "The hell I will." "It would serve two purposes 1. If I wasn't near by when you got attacked you'd have surprise on your side, my delicate little flower mmph" this had earned him a punch to the side making him grunt "Was the really necessary? 2. They may think that you don't really care about what happened when you were a child so they may try to talk to you and get you to their side again because I'm sure they probably tried that with you dad, killing someone is usually a last resort, quicker and faster to turn someone on your side. Even though you've been gone they had to be careful in what they were doing, they don't know how much you know."
The house she remembered from childhood looked the same as it always had and everything round the estate looked the same too except for a couple of new buildings that she didn't remember when she asked Cobalt bout them he said "Oh those they be mine I built then to serve my purposes one is another hideout and the other is my secret no one can enter it without me or a verification that came from me. On another note seems your family was popular in the political light somewhat for trying to help faunas and working towards faunas equality so with that info i can think of at least a few people and groups that would love to end that type of thing especially with the money they gave certainly puts Schnee up the-" just then his phone rings "Yar? hmm that's interesting-wait what no don't send them there you wan to get them killed damn dude send them to the other place and make sure they don't wear those god awful things they call a uniform and be quick." he hangs up the phone and screams "FUCK MY LIFE!" Amaranth rubs her ear and asks "What the hell? I'm right beside you, what was that about?" he looks at her "Sorry. It seems life is gonna be a little more interesting we need to go to one of my bigger places I own in town tomorrow."
The next day as they are headed to where Cobalt said they needed to go a place where Amaranth didn't know about she asked him how many places he owned in the city to which he replied "It's not just this city I have places round all of Remnant it took a long time and a hell of a lot of money of which over the years I helped your bank accounts grow so technically they belong to you too." they chatted a little more as they went along when they rounded a corner Cobalt stopped and yelled "What they hell is this?"
