“Who wants to see me?” Jacked asked looking at Carlos surprisingly, because it had been kept secret that he was in the SH guildhall.
He couldn’t figure out who else would came to the SH guildhall and want to see him besides the one who wanted to kill him.
“You’ve asked me before. Don’t you remember?” said Carlos.
Jack’s eyes gleamed. Then he became serious and said, “Isn’t it better to meet him in the SH guildhall?”
Carlos shook his head and said, “That was what I thought. But he said hastily on the phone that he arrived at the gate of the SH guildhall before he hung up the phone.”
Rena was complete lost hearing the conversation between Jack and her grandpa, which was like a puzzle to her.
Hearing what Carlos had said, Jack was silent in contemplation. And Carlos didn’t urge Jack to decide, because he also understood that Jack would become the target openly if he stood right in front of the gate of the SH guildhall at this moment. Besides, the east yard was still in a mess.
Having hesitated for a few seconds, Jack said slowly, “I’ll meet him outside the SH guildhall.”
“But...” Rena was worried. Before she could finish her words, Carlos stopped her by shaking his head.
At the gate of the SH guildhall.
Because of the explosion in the SH guildhall, many people gathered outside the house on the Chinatown street, gossiping.
Mr. Ward headed towards the SH guildhall with Amber painstakingly through the the crowd. With his protection, Amber was free of being pushed by people.
“Mr. Ward, is that the place where he is?” Amber looked towards the SH guildhall through the crowd with her gleaming eyes, which was all she cared at that moment.
“Yes.” Mr. Ward became worried whether something had happened seeing the crowd around. Soon he found out what happened through the crowd’s conversations.
The news that the SH guildhall had been attacked by bombs came to Mr. Ward like a bolt from the blue.
He looked serious and turned around to Amber, “Your ladyship, please promise me that no matter what happens, you won’t do anything on impulse and that you will leave after a glance.”
Amber was in a dilemma with her pale face. How could he expect her to do so? But seeing how serious Mr. Ward was, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to see him even for a glance if she didn’t promised Mr. Ward.
Amber clenched her fists and agreed nodding her head, “Okay.”
Seeing this, Mr. Ward felt relieved. As far as he was concerned, it was really inconsiderate of him to take Amber here when the SH guildhall had just been attached by bombs.
But he failed to turn down Amber who begged and made him to do so.
Finally, Mr. Ward had arrived at the front of the crowd with Amber. When standing there, Amber champed at the bit with her gleaming eyes and a sweet smile on her face. Words failed Mr. Ward when he saw this.
'Maybe it was the first time she had been in high spirit these days.' Mr. Ward thought to himself. Sometimes one could love another so deep that his or her life relied on another.
In the area right under the memorial gateway of the SH guildhall, people from the Grand Freemasons were coming in and out continuously, paying no attention to the crowd around. It was such a chaos and mess.
It was absolutely shocking news that the base of the prestigious the Grand Freemasons had been attacked by bombs.
It was well known that the Grand Freemasons which had existed for more than two hundred years with 3600 branches, was not inferior to any old family in the world in terms of its strength.
How come a base of such a powerful organization be attacked by bombs?
