Winner Takes All novel Chapter 412

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.
