The two Viscounts and the Merchants continued to discuss one way after another to capture, kill, and torture their opponents. Axel realized that Merchant Han was the one in the leading position among the trio and the man with the greatest authority in the underground network operation.
It seems their main goal was to build an information network in the end. Then use that information to slowly move up in the social ladder through blackmail and exploitation.

Axel, being taught by the butler who was an expert assassin himself, knew how to hide his presence naturally. Of course, he was sitting a bit away from them as well.
Only after a total of 10 minutes had passed that their discussion near its end, Viscount Frank called out, "Guards, get the girls and the drinks."
