"..." Hearing Karl planned to yield and retreat, Sansa did not immediately respond. Her thoughts were chaotic right now as she need Karl to go after the boy.

Sansa had big plans she wanted to grow her secret organization into an unstoppable army before she became a demiG.o.d herself. Such that once she achieves the demiG.o.d realm she planned to surface her dark organization as a legitimate one by overthrowing world powers for example the Southern and Northern Royal families.

When that happens, it was inevitable that the past of her dark organization would be dug up. Sansa was not worried about becoming a public enemy because of her ability or her actions, but she was worried about her husband. As a DemiG.o.d, he was already detached from mortal perils except for one, his childhood love, the late Ellen Wyatt.

She was confident her husband would look past whatever she did to come to power and similarly she was also confident that he would not hesitate to kill her if he were to find out that,

She was the one who had influenced Ellen to fall for a mercenary. Sansa was proud of this one as she did not even have to use her ability to achieve this. All she had to do was fed Ellen romanticized c.r.a.p about forbidden love such as the princess and the huntsman, the Lady and the stable boy, etc. Ellen's arranged marriage with DemiG.o.d Baylor was a big help too as it made Ellen's infatuation for the mercenary much dirtier and forbidden. Recall those memories, a satisfied grin formed on Sansa's lips.

She was the one who influenced Ellen to elope with her mercenary lover when Ellen had caved to the family pressure and decided to Marry demiG.o.d Baylor. Once again, Sansa did not need her origin card to influence Ellen. A little encouragement and a few glamorous words about undying love were enough for her to change Ellen's mind. This was only possible because Ellen naively believed and trusted Sansa as her best friend.

It was Sansa who leaked the information about Ellen and her mercenary partner's escape to the southern region to the Duskborn family. If not for the involvement of DemiG.o.d Baylor, the adulterous couple would be caught and hunged by the Duskborn family instead just having her name erased from the family ancestry records.

Sansa was the one behind Ellen and her new family's misfortune after Ellen settled in Sky Blossom City. Which ultimately led to the untimely death of the couple on Sansa's whim.

Anyone of these was reason enough for DemiG.o.d Baylor to kill Sansa, his only wife, without hesitation as that's how much he loves the late Ellen. DemiG.o.d Baylor was a man who was willing to see the love of his life in another man's arms as long as she was happy. Showing his selfless love for his childhood friend Ellen. Only someone with such altruistic love would be willing to adopt the son of the love of his life born to another man.

Knowing her husband's temperament Sansa had made sure to leave no evidence behind, except for the Circle. Considering the alliance between them she thought that won't be a problem and further planned to use them to get rid of the sp.a.w.n of her late best friend to avoid the suspicion of her husband when he learns of the death of the boy within a day of him announcing that he wanted to adopt the boy.

But now the Circle plans no longer made it possible for her to achieve that. From the start, Sansa had her doubts that despite the hatred of the boy for their organization the Circle would hesitate to kill the boy considering their unfinished business in the southern region which required the consent of the Souther royal family. Therefore Susan deployed her best a.s.sa.s.sin to the battlefield to quietly do her bidding and let the Circle take all the blame for it. Only by Circle being labeled as the culprit for the death of the boy will she be able to escape the suspicion of the husband of her involvement in the successful a.s.sa.s.sination of the boy.

Now hearing the plan from Karl himself her doubts were confirmed but if the Circle retreated without putting up a fight as per their new plan then her contingency would never be able to be put into action. Therefore she had to think of a quick way to have the circle reconsider their plans or at least stand their ground against the boy long enough for her minions to get the job done.

"That's a surprise, I never thought that one day you would consider sacrificing one of your branch leaders," Sansa spoke provocatively hiding the chaos Karl's previous words have brewed in her mind.

"Who said anything about sacrificing my Mike? He will retreat with other surviving members, all we are doing is abandon the sun blossom city branch. We rebuild after the boy leaves for university," the plan to retreat that Karl came upon on a whim, became the only plan after he heard the provocation in Sansa's tone as she respond. Though he still did not conclude that Sansa was behind the series of unfortunate events that befell the Circle's Sun blossom city branch, he had a feeling that Sansa had other motives.

"And you think that is possible? According to my sources, the boy seemed to have vowed to kill your branch leader. I don't know if he is capable of that but I can guess that he would not let your people retreat," Sansa started to undermine Karl's plan to retreat using the hatred of the boy for the Circle as a reason.

"And whose to blame for the boy's hatred for my organization?" Karl answered blaming Sansa for the current mess one of his branches was going through.

"Hey, no need for pointing fingers, I am trying to help you aren't I?"
