“Rena, this is a family affair.”
Isaac Wells slowly turned his head and looked solemnly at the amazed Rena Yales, “As an elder, I think that your grandpa did well. This thing, at least for now, we really shouldn’t tell Jack.”
“Why?”
Rena was completely shocked and looked at Isaac in disbelief, “What’s the origin of the Kool Family? Why do you and grandpa both scold the dogma?”
After Carlos Juan Yales hung up Jack’s call, the words contained a few information about the Kool Family, but those few words were very superficial, so she didn’t understand at all the reasons from her grandpa’s words.
The Kool Family, a family without any origin, made the two Grand Freemasons’ highest-ranking members both ignore the dogma.
That was ridiculous!
“This is a family who has disappeared for many years or it can be regarded as a wealthy family.”
Isaac slowly spit out a word, with a dignified look, “We won’t tell Jack for now. It’s better to postpone this matter.”
Obviously, he knew as much as Carlos.
He just didn’t tell Rena.
Rena was completely stunned.
At that moment, facing Carlos and Isaac, she suddenly had a sense of collapse.
From childhood to adult age, his grandpa taught him to memorize the dogma of the Grand Freemasons so the Mafia Boss Isaac fulfilled that dogma countless times.
But now, the two of them regarded that so-called unshakable dogma as a family affair, and it was ignored and discarded.
In a daze, Rena murmured, “But it’s related to the blood debt of Jack’s wife and child. Jack is the ancestor of Grand Freemasons’ ‘Juan’ generation.”
“That’s not a reason!”
Isaac’s words were as resolute as those of Carlos.
Rena’s body trembled and she looked at Isaac with teary eyes, “Why?”
“There are not so many whys in the world. In the world of the adults, there are no whys, only pros and cons.”
Isaac said those harsh, cold and unfeeling words with a deep voice.
Rena was absent-minded, she felt Isaac’s words as a heavy hammer bashing her heart for a long while.
“I see.”
Rena replied in despair, in a weak tone.
Then she walked out.
After Rena left, Isaac walked up to Carlos and said anxiously, “That family has disappeared for many years and now they have reappeared again and pointed at Jack’s wife and child. Are they really not afraid of death?”
“Everyone is afraid of death, but when benefits are greater than human lives, then they are not afraid of dying.”
Carlos’ voice was solemn, he stroked his beard lightly and said with emotion, “In these troubled times, I hope that my decision won’t affect the Grand Freemasons.”
Isaac looked dignified.
He knew that Carlos’ remarks were referring to woo Jack, rope him into the Grand Freemasons, and became the ancestor of the ‘Juan’ generation.
“It should not be so.” Isaac comforted him.
Carlos shook his head, his eyes deep, “It’s hard to tell. It depends on how high Jack can fly. It has to do with that damn family. Despite the blood debt of his wife and child, Jack must be put on hold, it’s better not to rush and maintain stability.”
“But if we do like this, we won’t respect the dogma, and when it comes to family affair, It will be too awkward for us.” Isaac smiled awkwardly.
Carlos smiled bitterly and lowered his head.
At that time, the voice of a member suddenly sounded outside the room.
“Mafia Boss, Mr. Yales, there is a problem. Rena grabbed the car and went to the airport!”
Boom!
In an instant, Carlos and Isaac turned pale at the same time.
“Oh, no! Catch her!”
Carlos stomped fiercely and hurried out.
Isaac’s face was even paler and, taking large steps, overtook Carlos and rushed out.
