Chapter 413 Mr. Ward Cries

Nothing was free in this world.

Grand Freemasons had been gradually increasing their numbers within the last 200 hundreds, and

therefore nobody was foolish in inviting this person to join them.

There certainly was a price to be paid.

There was no doubt when this would happen; it was just what exact price was to be paid.

Jack was very aware of this.

But in the situation just now, he had to make a choice.

Yael was his close friend and also the one who in charge of his family properties that were worth

billions.

Five forces had joined together for the attack, and if Grand Freemasons were to do everything in their

power then Yael would be powerless against them.

This involved Yael and also concerned the answer sheet that would be handed to the Hughes Family a

year later.

He didn’t dare to make any gambles because one careless move and the whole game would be over.

Therefore his only choice was to join the organization in order to give Yael a slim chance of survival.

If it wasn’t for Grand Freemason’s attack, then Yael’s had more chances of turning things around for

the better one .

When he returned to the TM Villa District, it was already nine o’clock in the evening.

As Jack had parked the car and walked inside he saw Amelia.

“When did you change your car?”

Amelia asked with a smile.

“Something happened just now so I borrowed someone else’s.” Jack explained casually, he was really

quite worried about the situation regarding Grand Freemasons, so he called Mr. Ward up to the rooftop.

Amelia who was still stood there, with a complex expression on her face whispered, “The fragrance of a

woman… a very delicate and natural fragrance.”

While she whispered to herself, she slowly raised her eyes and looked deeply at the BMW i8 in the

garage.

As the sensitive of woman, it made her distinguish it immediately.

Due to her family’s social background it was even clearer what the residual fragrance on Jack’s body

was.

Ordinary perfume could never have such a fragrance as this.

Even the most expensive perfumes couldn’t acquire such a fragrance.

It was a natural scent that had been blended very carefully.

On the rooftop.

Jack threw Grand Freemason’s metal token onto the table.

Once Mr. Ward had seen the metal token he suddenly appeared horrified.

“Master Hughes, this is a Grand Freemason’s token! You, why do you have it?”

Jack sat down on the chair helplessly, “They gave it to me.”

“Grand Freemason gave you that?” Mr. Ward was completely dumbfounded.

Jack then said, “Turn it over and have a look.”

Mr. Ward took a deep breath, calmed himself down, slowly picked up the token and turned it over.

He was startled beyond belief when he read the word ‘Juan’ on the token.

Mr. Ward was then just stood there lifelessly.

“Juan, this Juan token… this stands for Grand Freemason’s Juan.”

Mr. Ward was in a complete state of panic and his lips trembled as he said, “It’s impossible that Grand

Freemason would give Juan’s token to you. They have a whole system set up which is about accepting

new members; they would never give it out to someone, let alone Juan’s token.”

“Grand Freemason’s first twenty four characters and the last twenty four characters make forty eight in

total. With their strict rules, as time goes by they will occasionally make exceptions to promote

someone to a higher position, but this was only for someone who has contributed greatly to Grand

Freemasons.”

“In Juan’s position there is only one member currently and that person is a real ancestor of them, and

even if he is the head of Grand Freemasons, he still must yield to the rules of the organization.”

Mr. Ward’s series of low murmurs to himself showed how affected he was by this.

Jack mocked himself and shrugged, “Well Mr. Ward you should count yourself very lucky ,which you

have seen the second member on par with Juan’s position.”

Mr. Ward was overwhelmed.

His eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost and he looked at Jack in horror.

“So, Master Hughes not only was accepted into the Grand Freemasons but was also put into Juan’s

position within the group.”

Jack nodded, “it sounds unreal, right?’

He had also heard everything about Juan’s position within the group from Carlos and Rena.

He was now only below one person and above ten thousand others.

This person could only be Carlos, and the only thing separating them was experience and seniority.

And the other ten thousand people must be all within the three thousand and six hundred sections, all

of them were below him in rank even if the leader was among them.

Mr. Ward was unable to hide his panic, no, he couldn’t hide it at all.

“What is going on? Have the people in Grand Freemason’s gone crazy?”

“Juan’s token, The Grand Freemason’s would never give it out, the leader wouldn’t agree, Juan

wouldn’t agree and nor would the people within the other sections.”

At this moment Mr. Ward’s last remaining bit of sanity kept him from not screaming out and jumping on

the spot.

“But they gave it to me, it happened just now.”

Jack was full of doubts and said rather helplessly, “Moreover, the one who gave me this token was not

others than Carlos.”

Mr. Ward was stunned.

Completely and utterly dumbfounded.

Jack had already expected this reaction from Mr. Ward.

To be honest, anyone who had heard this exact same information would react just like how Mr. Ward

did.

He continued to say, “And, do you dare believe that he said if I join them then I won’t have to pay any

price, and I would be regarded as a superior among them.”

“Impossible! There must be some conditions for this, this kind of treatment and behaviour by the Grand

Freemason’s is unheard of, they must surely have something else in mind.”

Mr. Ward threw the token onto the table, “Master Hughes, we cannot be part of this, you don’t need to

accept their invitation, and we don’t need this token.”

“I had agreed with you.”

Jack smiled painfully, “But they used Yael as a threat, and said that if I don’t join them and accept the

token then they would do everything in their power to attack Yael, so this was all I could do for now.”

Mr. Ward’s body shook and he staggered back in horror.

What Jack said made him hesitate.

He eventually sank down into the chair.

And in the dim light, Jack could clearly see that Mr. Ward’s eyes were red.

The look of horror on his face gradually turned to anger.

He was not surprised and instead felt that this reaction was normal.

Not just Mr. Ward but even himself was furious.novelbin

Being completely suppressed and forced to join the association, to be honest regardless of whether

Yael was attacked or what other prices he had to pay in the future, he really couldn’t bear this.

This feeling of suffocation turned into extreme rage.

After a while.

Mr. Ward suddenly started to smile.

However this smile was full of bitterness and his red eyes were hazy.

Jack was afraid that this was too much for Mr. Ward to handle, so he got up to go comfort him.

“Mr. Ward, relax. Maybe things won’t be as bad as we think? At least, Yael’s situation can be

temporarily resolved and with this token I can ensure that all of the other people have to obey me and

treat me as a superior.”

“I know, I understand.”

Mr. Ward burst into tears and shook his head with a wry smile, “I am the one should be blamed, for due

to my own inadequacies, I let you get into this terrible situation.”

Once he said this, Mr. Ward got up and walked down the stairs.

From his figure you could see he didn’t stand as straight as before and you could see the effects of old

age from his movements .

Jack smiled helplessly and looked up at the stars and moon in the night sky.

His eyes were full of unwillingness.

Then he muttered to himself, “Pretending is a good thing . At least it’s a good thing for Yael for now. I’m

just not sure what will happen to Yael tomorrow when the market opens and the trading commences

.”
