In Chinatown.
It was bustling and the crowd swarmed.
In this land, there was a Chinatown in each city.
It was a place for all those who left home to relieve their homesickness.
A Lamborghini roared into the street, attracting many attentions.
Crunch!
At last, the car stopped in front of the “SH guildhall”.
The large guildhall, in Chinatown, seemed to stand out from the crowd, which was quite solemn.
Compared with the bustling streets, the guildhall was a little more serene.
The large board with the words “SH guildhall” was decorated with iron and silver, which was majestic.
The antique construction was built by green bricks in shape of hanging eaves.
The bluestone floor tiles stained with moss seemed antique and weather-beaten with the drizzle.
In the corner, there was a water tank where planted water lilies, which also appeared to be poetic in the drizzle.
Tiana got out of the car and walked slowly towards the “SH guildhall”.
“It’s a private place. Admittance of staff only.”
A sudden angry rebuke stopped Tiana’s steps.
Then she looked at the direction of the sound.
Four young people in Tang Costume came with solemn expression.
“I just want to have a look.” Tiana smiled, “Since we’re from the same country, there’s no need for you to be that harsh. And I’m not a thief.”
“It’s a private place. If you don’t leave, don’t blame us for our rudeness.”
The leader among them said in a determined voice, without giving Tiana a chance to retort.
Tiana shrugged to show her indifference and left.
After getting in the Lamborghini, she rubbed her hair with distress and muttered.
“It is just the headquarter of Grand Freemasons. What private place?”
After the car started, it drove towards the end of the street.
On account of Tiana’s special identity, it was easy for her to find out where the headquarter of Grand Freemasons was.
But she could not enter it, let alone to investigate!
Watching the Lamborghini drive away, the young leader said, “Two men stay here. There is a distinguished guest we saved from the sea, who is not a person to be trifled with. Anyone, except our member is not allowed to enter the SH guildhall, and the junior member also should not enter the eastern yard.”
“Yes, we got it.”
The leader warned again with a deliberately lower voice.
“Be careful. I have got some news that even Mr. Yales and our head treat the distinguished guest as a guest of honor. What’s more, Mr. Yales has recently asked Rena to look after him. So you can imagine the result of you disturbing the guest.”
When heard the news.
The other three maintained discreet silence and looked solemn.
In the eastern yard of SH guildhall.
Squeak...
Rena returned to the room after pouring the water.
She opened the door and looked at Jack who was lying on the bed.
Sympathy for Jack was shown on her beautiful face.
“You were still fine when we left. It's only been a few days, how could you make such a mess of yourself? I really envy your wife since you had travelled so far to find her. Grandpa is right. It's all destiny, true love only happened at the right time without a second later or earlier. I just don’t have the luck to catch the right time.”
While saying, Rena looked a little guilty and self-condemned.
“I am to be blamed for your coming all the way here to encounter the danger.”
It was not difficult to find out the purpose of Jack’s visit with the power of Grand Freemasons.
What’s more, Carlos and Rena was clear about the misunderstanding between Jack and Amber.
But they didn’t expect after they came back here as what he said Jack came here too.
And now he was injured like that.
Rena had intended to inform Amber to pick up Jack.
But her grandpa and the leader stopped her.
The assassination was unusual. If they sent Jack back, it was possible that there would be another assassination, even getting the Knight Family involved.
