Chapter 231, Membership?

Face James. A cordial invitation from Blunt. 'Anderno. Naturally, Lukese would not refuse. Three days later, 'Andrew. Lukese's in James. Accompanied by Blunt, he took the other party's private jet to Washington.

Coming alone'Anderno. Lukese didn't bring any bodyguards or gunmen. Even Cell's and Adler's loyal subordinates did not follow.

Shaking the goblet in his hand, 'Andreor. Lukese' quipped, "Mr. James, I've heard it said before. To join the 'Freemasonry' is to sleep in a coffin. I don't know if it's true or not? ”

Sitting across from James. Blunt couldn't help but smile, waved his hand and said, "Technology is developing, and the times are advancing." Hundreds of years ago, who would have believed that humans could fly in the blue sky? Who would have believed that humans would go to the moon? The biggest difference between our American Freemasons and the Freemasons of other European countries is that we are constantly changing. Those old rules have been almost abolished... The old-fashioned tricks of sleeping in a coffin and blindfolding have been used for more than 30 years. The current initiation ceremony, although there are still some traditions. But it's actually more like an interview! ”

While the two were chatting, the luxurious private jet slowly landed on the airport runway.

An extended Maybach, which had been waiting for a long time, drove up when the plane suspension ladder was lowered. On the door, the special pattern of the 'Freemasons' with a rectangular ruler and compass is printed.

If New York, with its Wall Street, is the center of the American economy. Washington, D.C., where the White House, which symbolizes the highest power of the United States, is located, represents the political center of the United States of America.

Wall Street, New York, is the name of Vanity Fair for all those who work in the financial industry. It is the birthplace of countless famous and legendary financial tycoons. And Washington is the most desirable stage for all politicians in the United States. Only stood on the stage of Washington. can really be called the word 'politician'. Otherwise, even city councilors, state councilors. In the eyes of the real political bigwigs in Washington. It's just a dispensable little person.

Sitting in this black elongated Maybach 'Anderno. Lukese's eyes looked out the window. There is no joy or sorrow in his eyes.

There is no other reason for this kind of scene. Back then, in the heavenly world of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". I don't know how many times I've experienced it. James sitting on the sidelines. Blunt would 'Andreau. Lukese's unfazed expression was in full view. I couldn't help but nod secretly in my heart. In his heart, he secretly said, "Among this batch of pre-selections, it seems that he is the only one who is the most suitable... A godfather who is above all the gangsters in New York. With him, the organization will be stronger.."

About a two-hour drive, the black stretch Maybach arrived in front of 1733 Sixteenth Street in the NW of Washington, D.C.

It is a temple modeled after the temple of King Mossolus in AD. Exactly in a one-to-one ratio. This magnificent ancient building has been restored.

Off-white wall tiles, pointed towers. Understated and extravagant sculptures. This quaint temple is so incompatible with the surrounding high-rise buildings.

Here, the distance represents the White House residence, where the core of America's highest power is located. It's just a few streets. It is also the headquarters of the American Freemasonry Society.

Of course, this quaint and magnificent temple. It is definitely not open to ordinary people.

As the black elongated Maybach drove into the temple, the door was opened and the car got out of the car. Blunt pointed outside and smiled, "Anderno, you saw that too." It's full of tourists outside. Feel free to take pictures outside. The old rules of sleeping in coffins and using skulls as wine glasses have long since been abolished. You don't have to wait until the evening to sneak in. After all, for the rest of the meeting, the evening time is precious... Let's go. I'm sure you'll get through.."

'Anderno. Lukese's straightened his suit and kept up with James. Blunt's footsteps.

In this temple, which is not open to the public, there are four to six bodyguards every less than ten meters. Each bodyguard has a walkie-talkie in his ears and an open suit in the hem. The hilt of the gun is faintly visible. It's not that these bodyguards deliberately reveal their guns, but to deal with unexpected situations. Draw your gun faster.

In James. Under the leadership of Blunt, the American 'Freemason' deacon, 'Anderno. Naturally, Lukese's did not encounter interrogations, body searches, or other impolite behaviors along the way.

The quaint patterned marble floor, and the crisp sound of leather shoes stepping on it. There are many oil paintings on the walls in a medieval style. Next to the marble columns, which need to be hugged by two people, are rows of glass vitrines that resemble exhibition halls in museums.

Rows of glass windows are filled with the most brilliant treasures of human history and civilization. There are statues of Egyptian pharaohs full of vicissitudes. There are thousands of medals that do not show the age, but have a sense of age. There are also portraits of many presidents in American history. There is no doubt that these presidents were members of the American 'Freemasonry' back then.

Among the presidents, the first president of the United States in 1798, George Brown, was naturally the president. Washington shines brightest. Today's U.S. capital, Washington, D.C., is named after George W. Named after Washington. After all, George Brown, who led the United States to victory in the Revolutionary War. Washington, the merit of a lifetime. It is something that future American presidents cannot surpass.

It seems that in order to embody George. The exploits of Washington, the first president of the United States. The glass vitrines about his life are much larger than the others.

Not only George. Portrait of Washington, and George Brown. A handwritten letter left by Washington during his lifetime. and George. When Washington presided over the 'Freemasonry' ceremony, he wore a sheepskin ribbon around his waist. There's even a piece of George. When Washington first joined the 'Freemasonry', he slept on the coffin board.

Wandering 'Andenor. Naturally, Lukese saw from that collection how strong the American 'Freemasonry' was.

It wasn't long before James. Blunt took 'Andreau. Lukese' came to a mahogany gate. See, James. Blunt turned back towards 'Anderno. Lukese's whispered, "Go in, the Supervisors are waiting for you inside."

Among the ranks of Freemasonry, the highest rank is the 33rd level President. The President is also honored as 'His Holiness'. The second is the Senior Supervisor. The rank of Senior Supervisor is equivalent to that of the Vice President. Next up are the junior supervisors. After that, there is the treasurer and secretary. And James. Deacons like Blunt are ranked below secretaries. But because each deacon is responsible for most of the things in a certain area. So the actual power of the deacon is much greater than that of the secretary in the headquarters of the 'Freemasonry'.

Due to ingestion of Matthew. All the memories of Edward, the American 'Freemason' officer, 'Anderno. Lukese's could naturally guess what kind of figure awaited him behind the door.

But at the moment of pushing open the door, 'Andreor. Lukese's face still had a look of surprise.
