Silas' initial thought when heard of the Black Hand organization was that if was an all-powerful organization that controlled everything behind the scene. Something like the triangular eye organization, but after the call, his view on the organization changed a bit.
The organization was still all-powerful but Silas felt that this is due to the calibre and affluence of its members.
They say the wealthy and powerful rule the world, but that was only true in an ordinary world. With the presence of people with superpower, Phenomenals, money and wealth is no longer enough.
Silas has been keeping a very close on the organization, especially the extremely ambitious project they are undertaking. A project that if successful, will allow them to also wield superpowers.
He was aware of the recent achievement the group achieved in their experiments lately.
