"Artemis Fowl is publicly known as a 13-year-old genius. He has one of the highest IQs in all of Europe. In certain circles, however, he is known as a ruthless criminal, willing to do anything for gold," Natalya recited.

Artemis Fowl…Where had he heard that name before? The Headmaster of H.I.V.E searched his memory. Nero questioned, "Parents?"

She replied promptly, "Angeline Fowl and Artemis Fowl the First."

He leaned back in his chair, impressed. Fowl Senior was one of the H.I.V.E's success stories. He had achieved an international reputation as a powerful tycoon who didn't take "no" for an answer. Fowl Sr. was also the head of a criminal empire that stretched worldwide.

"Status?"

"Artemis Fowl Senior was declared missing after a business trip to Russia. Angeline Fowl is currently…indisposed. There are rumors that since the Fowl Star sank, she has not been entirely sane," Natalya's eyes flickered.

"What else do you have on Fowl the Second?"

The Russian girl's voice only held a shred of hesitance, "He has an Interpol file. An active one. And as the heir to the Fowl Fortune, Artemis Fowl has already secured an estimated 12 million pounds in the two years his father has been gone."

Nero barely withheld a sharp intake of breath but could not hide his widened eyes. He narrowed his eyes, "Keep a close watch on him, Raven. A very close one."

Natalya nodded sharply and added one last comment before leaving, "His bodyguard is one of the top three martial artists in the world. It is going to be difficult to enroll Artemis Fowl inH.I.V.E if he is against it."

Nero clenched his teeth. The boy wasn't even here yet, and he was already causing trouble. Worse than Otto and Wing put together!

"Take an extra team," the headmaster finally said.

She slipped her mask on and stepped into the shadows.

Thousands of miles away, a dark-haired boy sneezed. "Must be a cold," he told Butler.
