The moment the red wooden door was opened, twenty gray-haired old men were greeted by them.

The twenty gray-haired old men were all dressed in the iconic full-body gowns of the 'Freemasonry'. He wears a sheepskin apron and ribbon around his waist, and white gloves on his hands. It is worn around the neck with different eye colors, but there are thumb-sized gemstones.

Ingested by Matthew. After the memories of Edward, the American 'Freemason' officer, could Chen Tianqiyan not know the identities of the twenty gray-haired old men in front of him? Four of them are former secretaries of state in the White House, and two are former leaders of the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party. The other 11 are directors and key members of Citibank, the Federal Reserve, and the top 10 consortia in the United States.

At this time, through Matthew. Edward's memories. Chen Tianqi couldn't help but think of a saying about 'Freemasonry' that circulated in American high society. Many of them are in high positions in the outside world. But the oath-taker knows. In these four walls. Worldly identity is meaningless. Here, all people are equal, they share a secret and swear to be brothers. ’

Such specifications of the membership assessment, oath. Obviously better than Matthew. Edward was much higher when he joined the 'Freemasons'.

When you see 'Andre. Lukese's walk in. An old man who had served as Secretary of State in the White House smiled kindly, "Everyone. Now that the initiates are here, let's get started.."

The group of old guys who were chatting just now looked at 'Anderno. Lukese' then returned to the long marble table behind him and sat down.

Chen Tianqi knew that the old man who sat in the middle, who had served as the US Secretary of State, was Quentin, the Venerable Lord of this 'Freemasonry'. Adams. He was born in the Adams family, a well-known political family in the United States. There have been two U.S. presidents in this family. And the relationship between these two presidents is still father and son. They were the second president of the United States, John Brown. Adams. and the sixth President of the United States, John Brown. Quincy. Adams.

John. Adams was also one of the four drafters of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Addams family is the first political family in American history.

The rest, the lowest in rank, was also the secretary of the headquarters of the American 'Freemasonry'.

"Don't be nervous, kid. Move your own stool and sit on it. Just think of it as an admissions interview. Otherwise, it can be regarded as chatting with us old guys. Before taking the oath, we would like to ask you some questions.." Quentin. Adams said softly.

Pretending to be a stiff 'Andreor. Lukese's nodded.

"Can you try to talk about the relationship between the gang and modern American society?" Quentin. Adams asked softly.

'Anderno. Lu Kaise was stunned, but he didn't expect the other party to ask such a seemingly easy to answer but hidden mystery question. As the godfather who is now above all the gangs in New York. 'Anderno. Lukese' is undoubtedly the most vocal. But it is not easy to give the other party a satisfactory answer. This includes sociology, philosophy, economics, and so on.

Frowning 'Andreor. Lukese's pondered for a while, then organized his language and said, "Recently, I have become obsessed with Chinese culture. Chinese civilization with a long history. Many great writings from thousands of years ago have been handed down. I like books such as "The Legend of the Assassins", "Water Margin", and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

See' Andreor. Lu Kaise's answer was not the question at all, but quoted the ancient books that have been handed down in the 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. The twenty old men sitting behind the ten-meter-long marble table not only did not look impatient. Instead, he showed a curious gaze.

And 'Andreau. Lukese said calmly, "Take The Legend of the Assassins, in my opinion. During the Spring and Autumn Period of China and the Warring States Period, those heroes who dared to assassinate the monarch of a country. It was the earliest prototype of the underworld! This point reached a peak during the Han Dynasty in China. Some famous heroes during the Han Dynasty could solve things that the government could not solve. His subordinates raised dead men and mastered casinos, brothels, hotels and other industries. Among the four famous Chinese novels, "Water Margin" is, in my opinion, a chronicle of the gangsters of the Song Dynasty in China. By today's social standards, the heroes of this masterpiece robbed cash trucks, killed people, robbed prisoners, and even armed themselves to openly confront the government."

It can be seen that gangsters will exist no matter what age and country they are! It's like day and night. They are all part of society. Can't be eradicated! And the United States today? It's all still there. Marx once said that if capital has ten percent profit, it dares to guarantee that it will be used everywhere; With twenty percent profit, it becomes active; With a 50 percent profit, it takes a risk; For one hundred percent. It dares to trample on all human laws; There is a 300% profit; It dares to commit any crime! ”

"The profits of usury are at least thirty percent. The profit of the color qing industry is about seventy or eighty percent. At least 80 percent of the profits from smuggling are higher. The profits from arms smuggling reached 150 percent. Drugs are the most profitable, at least three hundred percent. This is also why, among these three gangs, the most profitable business. No matter how much governments crack down on it, they can't eradicate it."

"But I have to say, if these industries are missing. I dare say that the economy of the United States will definitely decrease... Whether it's a low-level prostitute in the sex industry, or those notorious drug lords. After they make money, the ultimate goal is still to spend. ”

"Prostitutes would buy simple necessities or provide for their children. Narcos launder money and use the bleached money to buy luxury cars and various luxury goods. Of course, some of them will also be used to buy weapons! to continue to strengthen their own strength. And how many companies have been fed invisibly? This number though I don't know right now. But I'm sure all walks of life are getting their fair share of that. ”

"And what I want to do is to order the originally disorderly gangs! As you may know, I have divided New York's drugs, smuggling, and arms trade into 100 places. So. Each quota can only be used in the designated area.."

With the'Anderno. Lukese's expression was calm. The twenty old men showed thoughtful expressions from time to time.

The mouth of the 'Andreau. Lukese's been talking for almost an hour.

Stay until 'Andre. Lukese's finished speaking Quentin. Adams was the first to applaud. Immediately afterwards, the other nineteen old men applauded.

"Hahaha.. Very wonderful theory of underground order! Keep crime under control. Make it a boost to the economy! It was the best speech I've heard in years. Welcome to join us, Andreor. Lukese! Well, it's time to take the oath. This is the tradition of 'Freemasonry'. Presumably you, the patriarch of the new Lukese family, are you? After all, when a new member of your mafia family joins, it will also take a ceremony.." Quentin. Adams laughed.
