After one week, it was announced that the new clues were found about The Saints with the help of an unknown individual who supported without revealing themselves.
The hidden path was revealed. And the moment it got announced, guild took action quickly by raiding the prison area on the same day of announcement.
With the help of other guild adventurers and with official soldiers sent by King of Valerith Kingdom.
Guild wanted to make sure to send secret investigation team with the help of the bracelet they recieved. They had made similar designs for everyone to pass through the dead end at the tunnel which leads to east side.
Even before the announcement, they had thoroughly checked the hidden area through that dead end. There were no traps or alarms and the hidden path leads to some other location.
The place it led was a huge castle like place.
The tunnel connected two different place from prison to their main castle of The Saints.

Meanwhile at the hall inside the castle.
"Sir, we recieved reports that guild has taken the action. They had already sent investigation team before the announcement which is why we failed to prepare on time." said Member of The Saints.
"But now they don't need a tunnel, they have found the location and at any rate, they could rush over here to capture you alive sir."
"I knew it...guild would find us some day. But now I have the Runic Stone at hand. Although I don't know how it works but I can use it a little bit." said Leader of the The Saints.
"Go prepare for the battle. Our main goal is to abandon this place now since it's revealed now." Continued Leader of The Saints.
"Aye sir!" The member left the hall.
The leader turned his back, looking at the beautiful angel like sculpture carved out.
"This whole event is still within my grasp. I will show guild who is righteous...After all, they are the ones who taught me." said The Leader of The Saints, smiling gently as he stared at the sculpture of an angel.

Few minutes later, guild had located the place. The castle like structure astonished everyone around it. All guild members present there were ready to charge in.
"So...this is where they live?"
"Alright, let's go inside but be careful of the traps. They might have not time to prepare on time but The Saints is one of the Seven Deadly Organizations."
The guild members discussed it briefly and then began to charge in.
Kael, Willy, and Noel were also present there.
"I wonder who had revealed their location..." said Willy.
"That's not the time to ask such questions, we should be thankful to them instead. Let's move on and bring down The Saints!" exclaimed Noel.
Some of the members of The Saints came outside of castle to defend it.
"Quick! We can't let guild target our leader. We need to safely let him escape at all costs!" exclaimed one of the The Saints's follower.
"Escape? So they are planning to buy some time so that their leader escape? I won't let that happen! This is out chance!" exclaimed Willy, swinging his magical wand.
The tsunami was unleashed. All the members who came outside got wiped out easily. They were also arrested by guild members on the spot.
"Woah, as expected from S-Ranked adventurers!" exclaimed one of the Guild member.
Everyone began to charge inside the The Saints's castle.
The castle was purely made of heaven like castle. The exterior and interior were designed and were white coloured.
"The paint is white, and there are also designs resembling angels....What kinda person is this?" asked one of the guild member.
Everyone looked at the beauty of the design which was unimaginable.
Kael could see the same design of angel everywhere he saw. The pure white angel symbol.
"Tch...We don't have time to appreciate this stuff....We need to find the leader inside this castle. We shall not let him escape!" exclaimed Willy.
Everyone listened carefully and began to launch the assault on The Saints's members while going deeper.
The intricate designs as well as the maze like path confused everyone, making it harder to move ahead.
"Damn it, it feels like we are roaming here for years. Argh! I will personally kill whoever built this." said Noel with annoyance.
"Well, what can we do? It's The Saints we are talking about...Let's go that way Noel, Kael... Let's search." replied Willy, analysing the area.
Kael had mapped out every possible direction by roaming around for a while. However Willy seemed to be aware as well.
All of them somehow crossed the maze as they headed for the deepest part of the castle.
The other guild members managed to arrive as well.
The hall was wide and a statue of an huge angel could be seen ahead.
The person standing besided the statue turned around and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Welcome everyone, The Saints welcome you here." said The Leader of The Saints.
"It cannot be....you!" exclaimed Willy, who seemed to felt betrayed.
"This can't be...but you were...by our side!" exclaimed Noel with shock.
Every guild members who saw the face of the leader stood frozen their for a second. Everyone's eyes could not believe their eyes, trying to dismiss it as nightmare.
"Hm? Why are you all so suddenly went silent? Did I say something wrong? I just greeted you all..." said The Leader of The Saints as he looked confused.
But then his confused face suddenly turned into a smirk.
"Oh now I have realised...I forgot to re-introduce myself." said Leader.
"I am Issac, the official member of guild rated SSS. However I have another identity, I am Issac, the Leader of The Saints." introduced Issac himself.
"Why!?" exclaimed Willy.
"My My....why are you so angry? I mean, I thought we are friends? Why do you actually that way." asked Issac while smiling gently.
Kael hadn't excepted this as well but he immediately considered Issac as an enemy... The first obstacle Kael have to eliminate.
