From Carlos’ perspective, Jack didn’t discuss with Mr. Ward about what to do with the situation at all.
However, Mr. Ward left as if he knew exactly what to do.
This gave him huge confusion.
Looking at Jack’s confident expression, he couldn’t help but ask, “Jack, what are you guys planning to do?”
“Mr. Ward will take care of it, you don’t have to worry.”
Jack smiled casually, “But we will be needing help from you and Grand Freemasons. I hope you’ll be okay with it.”
Carlos nodded smilingly, “Be rest assured. You’re now a member of Grand Freemasons, your problem is our problem.”
After Carlos left.
Jack raised his brows and smiled unfathomably.
“I wonder if Mr. Ward really got my message there?”
The next morning.
The sun hadn’t even risen but the whole SH guildhall was already in a racket.
Jack woke up and turned to the window.
It was bright as day as the racket came from his yard.
Whack…
The next moment, someone opened the door to his room.
Carlos and Rena walked in with gloomy faces.
Jack asked, “What happened?”
“Mafia Boss just settled another wave of assassins.” Carlos’ face was solemn.
“This is not a good sign,” Jack said calmly.
Carlos and Rena nodded silently.
SH guildhall had just been blown up, now they were sending waves of assassins to kill him.
They were indeed aggressive.
It seemed it wasn’t just that they wouldn’t let him off, but they would do anything it took to bring him down, even at the cost of their own people.
At this rate, the assassination would only grow worse.
Jack stretched his back and smiled, “I’ve been locked in here for too long. I want to go out for a walk.”
Carlos and Rena were taken aback.
They exclaimed simultaneously, “No way!”
Jack raised his brows and looked at them mockingly.
“Are you nuts?” Rena berated, “We have no idea who’s behind all this. We’ll do everything we can to protect you as long as you stay in SH guildhall, but you’ll be an easy target for the groups of assassins the moment you step out this establishment!”
“Jack, what you’re doing is suicide!”
Carlos’ eyes went dim and was gritting his teeth, “The people behind this were potent enough to ignore Grand Freemasons’ force and kept trying to kill you when you’re already staying in SH guildhall. They even acclaimed openly to challenge Grand Freemasons. Do you think you can stay alive out there with this kind of enemy against you?”
Jack expected this reaction from them.
And he was indifferent towards it.
Hearing Carlos and Rena’s voice, Isaac entered the room too.
He asked in confusion, “What’s going on?”
Jack smiled, “They’re opposing my desire to go out for a walk.”
“I oppose that too!” Rage immediately climbed on Isaac’s face which was filled with exhaustion just a second ago.
He was the Mafia Boss of Grand Freemasons, in charge of the 3,600 subsidiaries of Grand Freemasons.
But now he was willing to be Jack’s personal security guard to ensure his safety, always staying vigilant to guard against the assassins, and was exhausted because of that.
And with all that, Jack now wanted to go out for a walk?
What kind of joke was this!
