Chapter 781: Let’s make a deal
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Caron_
The Freemasonry, with the literal meaning of “free masons,” formed in the 18th century in the United Kingdom, was a religious brotherhood organization and was currently the world’s largest secret organization. They claimed to promote fraternity, kindness, virtue, and the pursuit of human survival. Its members included many famous people and politicians in the world. Its origins weren’t yet defined. According to the interpretation of its program literature, the History of the First Part of the Masonic Charter, the Freemasonry originated in 4000 BC and they called themselves descendants of Cain with knowledge of the mysteries of nature and secrets of the universe.
Since the founding of the Freemasonry, the voices of questioning and opposition never ceased. The most famous incident was the century-long war between the Catholic Church and the Freemasonry. The original conspiracy was questioned during the French Revolution. Freemasonry was suspected of supporting the campaign to overthrow the monarchy. By the middle of the 19th century, the Morgan incident triggered the anti-Freemasonry movement in the UA.
At the same time, according to unreliable rumors, many secret associations around the world had deep roots in Freemasonry.
For example, Willie Society…
In addition, it was rumored that the biggest supporter of the Freemasonry Association was the Rothschilds family.
“… According to unreliable rumors, only Lincoln and Kennedy weren’t members of the Freemasonry Association.” Standing beside the desk, Ayesha reported to Jiang Chen about the information gathered by the Ghost Agents about the Freemasonry.
“So they’re all dead? I think that information is more like a conspiracy theory from a novel than rumors.” Sinking into his chair, Jiang Chen put his fingers on his chin.
Three days ago, he was escorted by the Celestial Frigate and returned to Coro Island. These days, he stayed in the mansion and sent Ghost Agents to Europe and North America to gather intelligence about the Freemasonry.
“Some are smoke bombs, some are actual truths,” Ayesha said cautiously.
“Yes, the key lies in how we categorize the intelligence.” Jiang Chen sighed and sat up in a chair. He couldn’t stop from cursing out, “I thought I was going to the South Pole for a break, but I didn’t expect a lot of trouble.”
After gently walking behind Jiang Chen, Ayesha put her arms?around his neck and whispered softly, “I’ll handle all this trouble for you.”
Ayesha’s gentleness soothed Jiang Chen’s mind, and he couldn’t stop smiling.
“Well, I’ve been bothering you all this time,” Jiang Chen whispered while holding her hands.
The atmosphere was becoming more intimate, but at that point, the phone on the desk began to ring inconveniently.
Jiang Chen was planning to hang up but he saw the name on the screen which said Carmen Rothschild.
“Hey?”
“How was your trip to the South Pole?”
“Could I interpret this as you playing dumb?” Although Jiang Chen was smiling, his voice gradually turned colder.
“If I was playing dumb, I wouldn’t have called you.” Carmen sighed. “I admit I used you before, but I always thought we were friends. What do you think?”
Jiang Chen laughed and didn’t reply to his question. He asked indifferently, “In order to avoid more misunderstandings, I think we shouldn’t play games here. State your purpose or the purpose of the Freemasonry.”
“The Golden Apple.” Seeing as Jiang Chen wanted to be direct, Carmen smiled and gradually changed into a serious tone. “And the things you’ve taken away in Antarctica.”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Please don’t play dumb, Mr. Jiang Chen.” Carmen smiled. “We’ve investigated you. You traveled to New Zealand two years ago. When you traveled there, you discovered in the trenches to the west of Coromandel a submerged U235 submarine laying there. We found the submarine a few months ago, but the things inside were gone. If you plan to be direct with me, please show your sincerity.”
Carmen’s words forced Jiang Chen into silence; it seemed that the Rothschilds family had been investigating him and even knew such details.
After a brief silence, Jiang Chen slowly said, “The Golden Apple is right here with me, but why should I give it to you?”
“Why? You don’t even know what you’re holding onto.”
When Carmen said this, Jiang Chen sneered in his mind.
[Who’s the one who doesn’t know? The knock-off version of the Klein Particle Sender, and I even have an interdimensional video call device. You have the audacity to say this?]
“Let’s make a deal.”
After hearing Jiang Chen’s proposal, Carmen felt relieved. Although the Freemasonry had never been afraid of anyone, it wouldn’t be a good decision to enter into direct conflict with Future Group. The Golden Apple lost its purpose after 1943. This is what the Rothschilds confirmed. In that case, Jiang Chen shouldn’t have deciphered the secret hidden inside yet.
With a smile forming on his face, Carmen made a decision and said softly, “No problem. How much do you want?”
“Money? Are you kidding?” Jiang Chen chuckled.
After a pause, he said emotionlessly, “I can give you the Golden Apple, but I have two conditions.”
The Golden Apple was always in Lin Lin’s laboratory, and now it was almost a display. As a device that received signals in one direction, the Golden Apple could only passively listen to sounds from the void. However, the “specter” clearly told him in the end that they would no longer be able to interfere with the timeline in the future.
Since Carmen knew the Golden Apple was in his hands, there was no need for confidentiality anymore. It was better to use it to exchange for greater interests and avoid making himself the top target in Rothschild’s mind. It would also buy time for Future Group.
“Say it,” Carmen said.
“First, Xin will become a nuclear-armed country.”
“Give me something else; there’s no point discussing this. Even if I want to help you, I can’t.” Carmen shook his head.
“Oh, is that so? As far as I know, 60% of Freemasonry membership is in North America. Are you sure you can’t do anything with the Freemasonry’s influence? The IAEA is based in Vienna. I don’t believe the Rothschilds family’s influence in Europe can’t reach this area. The Rothschilds Bank is on the list of shareholders for half of France’s nuclear power plants. Can you really tell me you can’t do it?” Jiang Chen said dubiously.
Carmen narrowed his eyes slightly and moved his fingers as he held the phone.
“It seems you’ve done your research.”
“It’s not just you who has an intelligence organization,” Jiang Chen responded.
Silence ensued for a long time.
After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Carmen offered, “I can promise you that the IAEA will recognize Xin’s possession of nuclear technology. The UA Congress won’t pass the sanctions bill of Xin on the nuclear issue… but there’s a premise that the nuclear technology you use is limited to the civil sector and nuclear tests must also be within certain limits.”
Hearing Carmen’s compromise, a smile emerged on Jiang Chen’s face. And at the same time, Jiang Chen gradually grew vigilant.
[If the Freemasonry really can achieve this, then its influence shouldn’t be underestimated.]
“No problem.”
“Well, what’s the last condition? I hope it’s not excessive,” Carmen said as he adjusted his position, still holding onto the phone.
“The last condition is that the Golden Apple is here with me. You have to come and get it yourself.”
