Although Zach already knew that Violet was out of town, he didn\'t want to give the Hunter family the impression that the Windsor family already knew that. He wanted the Windsor family to look like headless flies looking in every nook and cranny desperate to find Violet.

This was the only way to set the minds of the Hunter family at ease. It would also give them the courage to act on their plan faster thinking that the Windsor family could do nothing in front of their careful planning and cunning methods.

…

Hogan had made his son Nelson responsible for gathering intelligence regarding the Windsor family following the execution of their plans. He wanted to keep an eye out for anything unexpected that the Windsor family might resort to in search of Marico and Violet. 

The several spies planted in the Windsor family were activated at his behest and were now sending him news regarding the clandestine meetings taking place in Violet\'s office. He already knew that the people in that room did not have the potential to fight against the Hunter family on their own. As such their congregation didn\'t matter much to him considering that they still didn\'t have any idea as to the whereabouts of Violet so long after her abduction by Jack.

Unfortunately for him, this was exactly what Zach had been hoping he would do after listening to such rumors and the intelligence collected by his spies would only corroborate the rumors further.

Like a typical and pampered young master bred in the city, Nelson\'s chest puffed up after hearing the condition of the Windsor family after taking on the Hunter family. He already believed that he was invincible as long as he was associated with the Hunter family.

Initially he had decided to hold back on his impulses but now that the Windsor family had hit rock bottom so soon, he felt like he needed to increase the pace at which the Hunter family was going to eat up the Windsor family and all their businesses.

Still he was not brainless enough to throw caution to the wind in his excitement. As directed by his father, he quietly left the mansion all by his lonesome so as to not attract the attention of anyone around who might be interested in his whereabouts.

He didn\'t use the front entrance of the mansion in order to leave but used the path at the back that was usually reserved for the servants and the guards\' families. Since he was now wearing a black hood, no one would recognize him even if they saw him taking the back exit.

He looked around on both sides to make sure that no one had noticed him slipping out of the mansion. Alas there were eyes in the sky targeted at him that he couldn\'t escape no matter how hard he tried. Zach had been on to him the moment he took a step outside the mansion.

Nelson slowly walked out of the city, feeling smug that he had managed to slip out unnoticed despite this being his first try at doing something discretely. After all he had never needed to do something like this in the past given that he was the scion of the Hunter family.

The direction that he was headed in led to the outskirts where there were no signs of population, only wilderness. A lone hill stood amongst the wilderness as if symbolizing the greatest height a man could reach amidst that kind of nothingness.

Nelson\'s destination was exactly this hill which was so far away from the bustling city that there was no chance of anyone stumbling on the place even with sheer bad luck.

Nelson was barely containing his excitement. He had waited far too long for this moment. In the past whenever he tried to make a move against the Windsor family, it had been to get his hands on Violet and now that his wish was finally about to reach fulfillment, he was unable to stop his hormones from raging.

Their elaborate plan was in its final stages but the crux of their plan revolved around two main goals that the Hunter family had yet to accomplish. Firstly they planned to cripple Marico by using torture in the prison cell. 

Nelson was still unaware that their plan had been stopped for the moment by Luke\'s interference. The cop Luke had killed was still deterring the other jailers from using any illegal schemes against Marico who was being supported by the royal family. The sword with the emperor red jade was like a ghost haunting them in their very dreams.

The second goal entailed making Violet into Nelson\'s woman by forcing her using her father just in case she refused to accept it through normal means. 

While Hogan was responsible for accomplishing the first objective, he had handed over the responsibility for the second goal to his son, Nelson. Since it had been his wish for a long time, Nelson was more than happy to take on the responsibility of converting Violet into his woman.

The reason why the Hunter family was using this two pronged approach was because they wanted to legitimately claim their right over the Windsor family and all their assets. With Marico crippled and Violet married into the Hunter family, the Windsor family would naturally become a part of Nelson\'s estate without earning them the ire of the other families. 

Even if the other families turned against them at this juncture, they would have no way to restrain the growth of the Hunter family. Therefore, the gap between the Hunter family and the other top families would only widen in the future and they would end up being the only top family of Byzantium city.

While Nelson was happily treading the path between the hill and the outskirts of the city, all of his actions were being transmitted back to Zach who was monitoring him from afar. The drones were flying at high altitude and had extremely undetectable designs to help them camouflage with the surroundings. Therefore, Nelson didn\'t even doubt that he was being watched as he increased his pace to reach his destination faster.
