Chapter 485 Mr. Ward’s Astonishing Identity
Mr. Ward and Carlos were both shocked at the same time.
There was complete silence in the room.
Mr. Ward felt how much strength was in Jack’s hand as he held it while saying those words, his
complexion changed.
And even Carlos, was completely shocked.
He was staring at Jack in shock.
“Such tenacious belief, such frightening grandeur. He is really outstanding!”
This was going on in Carlos’s mind.
He had witnessed the change in Jack’s mood since he was rescued.
From despair and bitter crying to calm and accepting of everything.
And in just these few days, he was once again burning with the will to fight.
Carlos had only seen this kind of change a few times in his life. However, to change like this in such a
short amount of time, to walk out from the darkness towards the light… Jack was the only one!
Failure should not be feared, the thing to be feared is to not be courageous enough to try again after
failure.
In Carlos’s eyes, Jack had suffered a bolt out of the blue; he was drowned in calamity and it was just as
hard for him to get back on his feet as it was to touch the sky.
But how long had it been?
Less than a month!
Jack was able to be so ambitious, probably due to his… terrifyingly tenacious conviction!
“Master…”
Mr. Ward’s eyes twinkled and his tears gradually dissipated.
After crying, Jack smiled, “Since I was a child, I have always stayed in the dark. I have never given up,
continuously and diligently pursued the light. Now that the darkness has found me again, why should I
be afraid to find the light.”
Jack didn’t have much of his childhood memories.
Because, they were all full of darkness.
Dependent on his mother for life, being called a bastard, he and his mother had suffered horribly just to
survive.
All the memories were dim and dark, there was no light to speak of.
Maybe that was why he studied so hard to find his way out of the darkness and into the light.
But now, it had started all over again.
Jack released Mr. Ward’s hand, “If the Hughes family doesn’t have a precedent, then I will be there.
Even if, it is the Hughes family’s iron clad unchangeable law, I will destroy it, as for the family’s position,novelbin
I will win it even if I have to sit in the wheelchair, and I will made everyone in the Hughes family be
convinced! This is not only my promise to my mother but also my responsibility towards Amber and the
child.”
Jack’s gaze was burning and his will to fight was strong.
In this moment, he didn’t look even a bit devastated or in despair.
His aura was like an unsheathed sword, ready to pierce through the dark night sky.
“Okay, Master! I will try my best until my last breath!”
Mr. Ward made up his mind and was no longer terrified and grieving like before.
Carlos had been looking at the both of them throughout the whole time.
Jack’s sudden change had hammered on his heart heavily.
It had shocked him to his core!
Perhaps, this was why Jack was able to become the top in the younger generation in his heart.
Carlos kept his usual calm on the outside but he still exhaled a deep sigh inwardly, feeling shocked.
Jack smiled faintly and glanced at Mr. Ward with his deep eyes.
Gradually, his majestic aura faded away.
He rubbed his nose and looked back and forth at Mr. Ward and Carlos.
“Aren’t you guys going to explain your relationship?”
They were both stumped for words.
They exchanged glances silently.
Jack smiled, “When Carlos came back that night and said those drunken words, I guessed that it was
you Mr.Ward.”
He paused, his eyes twinkling, “If I am not wrong, at that time when Carlos and Rena were forcing me
to join the Grand Freemasons, Mr. Ward also met with both of them separately.”
“You are wise, Master.” Mr. Ward smiled bitterly and held his fist in his other palm in front of his chest in
respect.
Carlos also smiled, “At that time, I forced you to join the Grand Freemasons, he especially came to find
us because of what we did, he almost beat me up!”
Jack laughed involuntarily.
Then silence ensued again for a few seconds.
Carlos and Mr. Ward exchanged a final glance.
Finally, Mr. Ward opened his mouth to speak, “As you have already guessed then I will no longer keep
it from you. Master, you have always addressed me as Mr. Ward. I guess until now, you have never
known my full name.”
Jack remained silent.
He really didn’t know his name.
Since Mr. Ward came to his side, he had always addressed him as Mr. Ward. Moreover, he had never
thought about investigating about his past.
A person who had been with his father for decades, who even his father called Mr. Ward, was
trustworthy enough for him to not get a background check done.
Mr. Ward smiled faintly, “My full name is Trystan Morgan Ward. I am the forerunner of the Grand
Freemasons.”
His voice fell.
Carlos smiled in agreement, “The Grand Freemasons are divided into twenty-four generations, after the
Juan generation comes the Morgan generation.”
*Boom*
It was as if Jack was struck by lightning. His eyes filled with astonishment.
It never occurred to him that Mr. Ward was a Grand Freemasons member himself?
Not only that, his seniority was only one generation below Carlos!
How wild was this!
Frankly speaking, if he wasn’t invited to join the Grand Freemasons and to become the youngest in the
Juan generation, Mr. Ward’s identity would only be lower than that of Carlos and would still be higher
than the rest.
Morgan generation’s status today was still higher than the generation of the head of Grand
Freemasons, Isaac Wells.
Among the Grand Freemasons, he was respected enough to be called “Ancestor”.
Astonished, shocked and unable to believe, one by one these emotions rose up in Jack’s mind.
But it was only with this identity that Mr. Ward’s relationship with Carlos could be explained clearly.
“Then, how come you quit being a Grand Freemason and began to work for the Hughes family?”
Still surprised, Jack blurted out.
The Ancestor of the Grand Freemason was higher in status than the rest of the people, it definitely
wasn’t inferior to the head of a rich and powerful family.
However, Mr. Ward gave up being an Ancestor and willingly entered the Hughes family to be cursed
around and to be made into Jack’s father’s domestic servant.
No matter how he thought about it, it felt like a prince submitting himself into slavery.
Although, Mr. Ward’s position in the Hughes family was not that low, when compared to his freedom in
the Grand Freemasons…
Anyone who wasn’t completely stupid would choose to become a head of a small group rather than be
a nobody in a big group.
Mr. Ward lowered his head and smiled a bit oddly.
Jack’s question remained unanswered.
Carlos smiled helplessly as he raised a hand to put on Mr. Ward’s shoulder, “This old fellow is a bit of a
fool. Things were too complicated back then. Jack, have you noticed that even though I have more
seniority, he is still disrespectful towards me?”
Character?
Jack understood his meaning in an instant, Carlos was pointing towards Mr. Ward’s character.
Otherwise, the Grand Freemasons had always been particular about seniority. Even if Mr. Ward
withdrew from the clan, he would still be respectful and polite towards Carlos.
He would have never made Carlos drunk, let alone to almost beat him up.
“Master, this is just my past. If it was not for the current situation, I would have never mentioned it.”
Mr. Ward said with a slight smile, his expressions calm, “It is not a place for us old men anymore. A
wise man doesn’t boast about his past achievements. I didn’t want to mention the past, the story of
withdrawing from the Grand Freemasons and becoming your father’s servant is very complicated.
There is no need for you to try and get to the bottom of it.”
With just these words, all the doubts in Jack’s heart were completely blocked.
It was clear that even if Jack continued to ask, Mr. Ward was not going to budge.
He rubbed his nose, pushing down the doubts in his heart.
He waved his hand, “You go back first. Now that you have found me, you should know what to do
about what happens next, right?”
“I know. Please be at ease and recuperate. I will do everything personally.”
Mr. Ward bowed in respect and then turned around to leave.
Carlos stood in his spot blankly.
He glanced dubiously at Jack and then at departing Mr. Ward.
How was he going to handle… what happened next?
