Although as much as possible, the Society don't want to be involve in violence, they have their own arsenal where arms and ammunition are stored. The Society uses arms and ammunition mainly to protect themselves. Adjacent to the arsenal is the firing range.

While the computer laboratory is maintained by various computer experts like security hackers, IT Experts and Computer Engineers. Their main job is information protection, telecommunications and information gathering and evaluation to assist in formulating an attack against potential target. They were also the ones responsible in concealing the identity of the members of the Society including Jenny and obliterating all traces of their operations.

President Martin also opens a recreation center that includes archery range which is specifically built for Jenny.

Soon, the time for the council meeting arrived. The members of the council arrived one by one in the large conference room in the main base. Among them is Mark Sloane, although there were other members of the Society in the industry of politics, Mark Sloane was chosen to be member of the Society because of his clean work history. And the citizens and other politicians trust and respects him.

Of course, this foundation is a subsidiary and funded by the Society.

Lance together with his father and grandfather also arrived. Everyone in the Society was aware that Lance represents the Do's in the business circle but they are not aware the he is a childhood best friend of their heiress and used to be her right-hand man. His father on the other hand is the personal lawyer of President Martin and Madam Victoria while his grandfather is the head of the Society's legal team.

Miss Eve and Miss Nancy were there as well, being two of the first members of the Society and the most trusted by Elder Do, they were the first council members of the Society. Both of them were head of some charitable institutions under the Society. Miss Eve's focus is on education and children while Miss Nancy is focused on abandoned elderly and women who are a victim of domestic violence.

When all the twelve members of the council were already seated the door to the adjacent room which is President Martin's office opened. The first one to enter was Peter and Leo, they were followed by President Martin and Madam Victoria. When they thought that the entourage has ended, everyone was surprised to see Jacob and J entered followed by James and Arthur.

Upon seeing Jacob and J, the council members looked at each other. So, this meeting really has something to do with the news that started to spread last night.

Leo and Peter remained standing in the left corner of the room while James and Arthur stand in the right corner. Jacob, J and Madam Victoria seated while President Martin remain standing facing all the members of the council.
