Female Novel
Chapter 412 Number One In The World
The atmosphere in the living room was extremely unsettling.
Jack and Carlos stared at each other.
Carlos’s icy sharp gaze almost suffocated Jack as if he was going to be stabbed countless times to
death with a knife on the spot.
This… was the aura that the forebears of the Grand Freemasons Juan generation had.
The so-called domineering attitude looked like mere child’s play in front of Carlos’s grandeur.
The aura that Carlos exuded was not of fury but self-worth and power. Even when he was smiling, he
made people feel a deep sense of despair and intimidation.
After a long time.
Jack smiled helplessly, “You won.”
“Okay! Wise people know what is going on. You are ready for the initiation ceremony.”
Carlos’s intimidating aura disappeared as his eyes softened and a smile appeared on his face.
The ceremony began soon with the presence of Carlos and Rena.
After some lengthy words from Carlos, Jack knelt in front of the altar and Carlos stood beside him.
Jack burned a piece of yellow paper and drank a cup of yellow rice wine.
After that, he finally received the token of the Grand Freemasons from Carlos.
There was not much difference between his and Rena’s token.
It was a token made of sandalwood and engraved with the symbol of the Grand Freemasons on one
side and the word ‘Juan’ on the other side.
“Mr. Hughes, this is the Grand Freemasons identity token. There are three thousand and six hundred
Grand Freemason units in the world recognizing this token. You can order them as much as you want,
even the leader must bow to you.”
When Carlos said this, he unconsciously stiffened his back, as if he was full of arrogance and pride.
When Rena, who was standing on the side, saw the ‘Juan’ engraved on the wooden token, her pretty
face turned pale. She looked as if she couldn’t believe her eyes and stood there stunned.
This token, signified the Juan generation, the same as Grandpa’s generation!
Only Grandpa had such seniority in the Grand Freemasons.
Now… was the Grand Freemasons inviting a senior forebear to come in?
As one of the Grand Freemasons Lieutenants, Rena knew very well how important was seniority
among the Grand Freemasons.
It terrified her!
Jack played around with the token, and after confirming with Carlos that there was nothing else to do,
he left.
Carlos personally went to the gate to see him off and gave Rena’s car keys to Jack. He told Jack that
he only needed to bring the car to the company building tomorrow and Rena would pick it up herself.
Looking at the blue BMW i8 disappear into the distance, Carlos’ dark eyes flickered faintly with light
and the smile at the corner of his mouth became more noticeable than ever.
Even when the car was no longer in sight anymore.
He stood there in front of the door, not turning around to go back in.
“Grandpa!”
Rena’s voice finally made him turn around.
“What is it?” He asked with a smile.
“Is it really… Juan generation?” Rena still felt like she was in a dream.
Even though she had witnessed everything just now; she was still in a trance.
“I know you have doubts, but he should have the identity of Juan's generation. This was discussed and
decided by me and the leader. There are three thousand and six hundred units of the Grand
Freemasons in the world, we must comply with the rules.”
Carlos did not explain clearly, but his deep voice suppressed any doubts that were growing in Rena’s
heart.
“But he… is so young and his achievements are not the best in the world. If the Juan generation
identity is bestowed upon him as soon as he enters, then how will the three thousand and six hundred
units be convinced?”
Still not convinced, Rena continued, “Grandpa, you have always been impartial and selfless. As your
granddaughter, I have never received any special treatment because of your seniority, it has always
been according to the rules of the Grand Freemasons.”
“Bestowed?”
Carlos smiled, “That is what he is worth!”
A subtle change in his sentence changed the meaning completely.
After speaking, he turned and stared in the direction where Jack had left.
His eyes were full of appreciation and satisfaction.
He muttered to himself, “Young people like him, with their centuries-old experience, are really thenovelbin
number one in the world.”
Bang!
With his words, Rena’s delicate body trembled as if she was hit by a huge thunderbolt.
Her pupils dilated and her mouth opened in shock as she stared at Carlos in horror.
She had never heard her Grandpa say those words before… ever.
She knew that even the leaders of the successive generations had never gotten such a compliment
from her Grandpa.
“Grandpa, does he really deserve such a compliment?”
Rena’s lips trembled as she gasped incredulously, “But he was so rude to you just now, as if he was full
of youthful vigor. How could he be the number one in the world?”
“A young man must be full of youthful vigor!”
Carlos curled his lips and his eyes gleamed, “Young people are crazy and hot-blooded, and if you don’t
have this kind of vigor, then how can you talk about winning?”
Rena seemed to understand it a bit, but she thought about something and hurriedly asked, “Then,
before when you asked me to probe around to see if he has talent, why did you scold me?”
“I only told you to probe around, not to fight with your life.”
Carlos turned around and gave her a rebuking look. He asked in a deep voice, “Youthful vigor… If you
were so full of youthful vigor, you only played against him for a few rounds, could you not feel who had
the upper hand. I will ask you now if you are really fighting with your life, what’s your chance of winning
over him?”
Rena frowned in thought.
After a few seconds of pondering, she smiled gloomily, “Probably… by one point.”
“One point? You mean you would have one point more, right?” Carlos smiled slightly, “Compared to you
guys, he has a gap of more than twenty years, but he accomplished such things. Can you still say that
he is not the number one in the world?”
Rena fell silent.
Carlos’ words had left her speechless.
Putting all other things aside, he was able to beat her, a Lieutenant of the Grand Freemasons, even
after a twenty-year gap, with only a short period of training.
Such talent was indeed worthy of praise, it was extremely frightening and god-like.
“Rena, remember, capable people don’t go around telling everyone about their capabilities, they show
their potential with their actions. You might think that he is just a mediocre man, but one day he will
take the opportunity to astonish everyone. Such people are called talented geniuses, who can learn
something very fast despite the lack of time.”
Carlos’ voice was low. After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled.
He turned around and looked at Rena with a strange smile.
“Anyway, I raised you up until now. You curse at Jack with your words and appear to be resentful
towards him, but this is the first time I have seen you teasing someone.”
“What!?”
Rena was startled and her beautiful face turned red as she blushed.
She lowered her head in embarrassment and blamed him, “Weren’t you who wanted me to test him?”
“I didn’t ask you to flirt with him.”
“Grandpa! How are you so shameless?” Rena screamed.
On the other side.
Jack drove the BMW i8 back to TM Villa District.
Inside the car, there was still a faint fragrance. It was Rena’s scent that still lingered.
But Jack didn’t care about it at all.
He was not a pervert who would go crazy with just someone’s fragrance.
Moreover, his first impression of Rena had left him with nothing but disgust.
He played with the Grand Freemasons identity token in his hand. Frowning, his eyes filled with doubts.
Looking at the dark road ahead, he whispered softly.
“By joining the Grand Freemasons, I will be below one person but above the rest. However, if I refused
to join, Yael will be defeated very soon. Is there anything better than this in the world?”
“The Grand Freemasons… do they really have nothing better to do? Or are they lacking forebear to
worship?”
Throwing the token on the passenger seat, he laughed to himself, “How can such a good thing exist?
What is the purpose of persuading me to join the Grand Freemasons?”
