"So now, Nobel, I will give you two choices. Step down and fall into obscurity or die."
"No one will believe you." Nobel said coldly.
Malikhi smiled. Nobel was right. If it was so easy to pick out the details of this, the Lubon would have done it already.
The problem was that the politics of a Guild were complicated. The Lubon might be their best information collectors, but with that came an inherent skepticism and scrutiny from the other Clans.
If there was 100% trust, that would be great. But on the other hand, if there had been 100% trust, Nobel's plan would have already succeeded.
The Lubon might be quasi-enemies with the Analei for good reason, but the Lubon had their own other quasi-enemies within the Guild as well. The Rizen Clan, for example, had been blocked by the Lubon Clan several times from going into wars they wanted as well.
