After the event, Joshua knew what to expect. People and organizations will feel fear and would like to dispose of him as soon as they can. And that's exactly what Joshua was pinning on. 

Joshua wanted to have an attempted attack on him. He knew that an attack is inevitable as he is growing too fast but why not make most of it from the attack. 

That's why Joshua made such a declaration, he wanted to provoke people in power. He wanted to make them feel that their power was shifting from them to him. 

Now, why would Joshua want to have an attack on himself? The reason was simple. He wanted to show the world that He truly Owns New York City. When this attack will fail people will cower in fear by just listening to his name. This attack will show his power, this attack will be his coronation and it will let people know that he not only barks but also bite. 

After all, a new king must show his power to the people. There was a reason that new kings waged war most of the time. 

Secondly, He knows who will perpetuate the attack. You see, Joshua has been keeping an eye on everything so how can he forget the most Iconic and ancient organization of highly trained ninja assassins, The Hand.

The Hand is an order of evil mystical ninjas who are heavily involved in organized crime and mercenary activities such as assassination plots. The hand originated from the K'un-Lun, A place that teaches how to harness the chi energy. The five founders of hand Madame Gao, Murakami, Alexandra Reid, Bakuto, Sowande were all the students there. They were banished from K'un-Lun because they didn't want to heal; they wanted immortality -- power, to never face death, to regenerate themselves again and again. The elders saw this as an aberration, and so, like Lucifer from heaven, the five were banished from K'un-Lun forever. They became the five fingers of the Hand." 

when the five founders were banished from the city and have since lived on in the shadows for centuries, promoting their goal through wars, crime, and influence on powerful people.

After their banishment, each traveled back to the lands of their births, where they built their own criminal empires.

In East Asia, the Hand discovered the mystical secret of immortality, by using the substance of dead dragon bones. Now, fearless of death, the group soon expanded their control over Asia. Only after they became a powerful empire, did the group call itself "Yami no te" (Dark Hand) or the "Hand," with the goal to activate the human weapon known as Black Sky.

However, the Hand has made many enemies. As they massacred a village, one boy managed to kill some of their greatest warriors. The Hand named the boy the "Chaste", who over the years recruited warriors to fight the Hand.[4] The Order of the Crane Mother faced the threat of the Hand as well, training their warriors and the Iron Fist to destroy the group.[5] Conflict also existed within the hierarchy of the organization, specifically among the Five Fingers, where each leader would often attempt to usurp one another even utilizing assassination attempts.

To find more of the elixir, the Hand dug holes under cities where beneath them laid the bones of dead dragons. For centuries, this Modus operandi destroyed several cities, such as Pompeii and Chernobyl.

The hand is a very ancient organization and is all over the world. They came to New York for the Dragon bones and were slowly starting to gain a foothold in New York. 

Alexander Reid started her company and all that. It was not that hard to figure out that Hand was present here Thus providing Joshua a perfect target to show his might. 

Also, Joshua too wanted the dead Dragon bones that were under New York so a battle against each other was inevitable. 

At night in front of Joshua's Estate 2, guards with guns were doing their duties. 

They were talking to each other and then one Guard gets up and leaves the other guard there. 

And then suddenly when both of their backs were facing each other, from behind a pair of hands came and slit their throats. 

After killing the guards all 20 ninja assassins enter the estate but they didn't notice that the wounds on the Guards at the gate heals and they opened their eyes.

When the assassins reached the Mansion they saw various guards at various positions. The leader of the ninja group has strict orders to kill everyone there so he orders the group to kill the guards. Now imagine their surprise when they heard a whistle from behind and what they heard a whistle from behind. 

When they moved their heads and they found the 2 guards that they killed at the gate standing behind them aiming their Ak-56 at them. The guards smiled and opened fire at them. 

In a second all of them were dead except the leader. He too has some bullet holes but not at the vital places. One of the guards handcuffed him. The leader tried to slash at the guard but those slashes don't have any effect on the guard. 

Then the other guard takes out a walkie talkie and said

" Sir, the assailants have been captured. Waiting for further orders." 

Joshua was eating dinner when his security in charge William interrupted him and told him about the situation. 

" Sebastian, call the police and inform them of murder," Joshua said and continue eating his dinner.
