Mastermind wants to bring to his level

Mastermind is an old man. Has got no skills. Wants to bring me to his level. 

I will beat him in brains as well. Leave skill. Lets do one on one asshole. 

Mastermind could be Bengali unit. Very high chances. That's why first placement in cognizant Kolkata. But why?

How come the japanese monkey Ezekiel is working with the mastermind?
