Chapter 553 - The Freemasons’ Headquarters (2/2)

Seeing the sky was about to turn dark, the group’s journey to the northeast finally came to a stop to rest near a large city.

Yang Sen signalled for everyone to stop at the woods outside a city, then said softly, “Let’s rest here for a while. We’re not familiar with this area and it’s very easy for us to draw the attention of the military. Let me send a signal to headquarters; they’ll send someone here to receive us soon.”

In the midst of his sentence, Yang Sen opened up his personal terminal and sent out a message, while the others waited.

—

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Che suddenly sensed the faint vibrations of engines from the simple roads outside the woods. His eyebrows jumped. The Freemason headquarters were indeed efficient. The local staff had actually arrived so soon!

It went to show how widespread the Freemasons’ influence in this large city was. Not only that, this was under the circumstances of them hiding their strength! If they revealed everything, they would surely cause a huge sensation!

Immediately after Zhang Che heard the approaching engines, Yang Sen’s expression brightened slightly. Obviously he had also heard the commotion and knew the headquarter’s staff had come to receive them.

Just by comparing this point between the two of them, Zhang Che knew he was much stronger than Yang Sen. Although the two of them were both Tier Seven beastmasters, Zhang Che’s senses were obviously much sharper!

After a short while, the noise from the car engines grew increasingly clear.

At this moment, everyone hiding in the woods took notice of the noise, smiles appearing on their faces one after another.

-Headquarters has sent people here to receive us!-

However, no one made any move or sound, waiting for Yang Sen to contact headquarters through his personal terminal. After he confirmed the fleet of vehicles was indeed here to pick them up, he waved his hand, signalling everyone to make their way out of the woods and down to the road below.

The fleet of vehicles was huge; they were all modified off-road vehicles, with savage appearances. One look and you could tell they were made to guard against exotic beast ambushes, with many steel plates added on the outsides.

The fleet of vehicles stopped one after another when they saw Yang Sen’s group. A few men jumped out of the vehicles, every one of them burly men close to two meters tall, and approached the group. Their rough appearances drew a contrast with their smiles. One of them said out loud from afar, “Old Yang, it’s been two months. We finally met again, hahahaha…”

Yang Sen went up and hugged the man hard, then said bitterly, “Ai, don’t mention it. This brother is like a stray dog this time, kicked back here by the military. Who knows how the President will punish us when we get back…”

It was indeed as he had said. He was forced to give up on the Xinjing branch, which he had spent so much effort developing, and was returning to headquarters pathetically. Punishments were inevitable.

Tian Gang laughed heartily, “Haha, don’t worry so much. It’s not only your branch that was hit. The military went raiding everywhere. Many branches were also struck severely. I presume the President won’t give you too hard a time since you managed to bring back so many elite brothers.”

The two chatted for a while, before Yang Sen looked back and waved to his men, saying, “Come, get into the vehicles. We’re returning to headquarters.”

Everyone got into the vehicles quietly. The fleet slowly reversed direction and drove out of the woods along the mountain road, then headed straight towards the large city ahead.

This large city was a new city, built upon the ruins of the original city after the arrival of the new age. Its population was a few million; it was the biggest city within thousands of kilometers, known as Xinfan City.

When the fleet was entering the city, they weren’t checked by the security. It seemed the Freemasons had taken deep roots in this city. Their strength was definitely not simple!

-So the Freemason’s nest is here. Should I send this information to future father-in-law right away?- Zhang Che observed the outside carefully as he was squeezed in the vehicle with a few other companions, wondering if he should inform Huang Juyun now.

After thinking for a while, he decided to put it on hold. He’d make further plans after arriving at the Freemasons’ headquarters and getting a better understanding of their strength.

Naturally it’d be best if the Freemasons weren’t as strong as he had imagined. He could find a chance to destroy them by himself!

If the Freemasons’ headquarters had many experts and he couldn’t take them on alone, then he’d find an opportunity to relay the information. At that time the military’s forces would join him in large numbers and get rid of the largest evil cult in all of Hua Xia in one go!

After the fleet of vehicles entered Xinfan City, they continued driving east along the streets. After passing through the whole city district, they finally arrived at a densely populated residential area.

This area was obviously a poor district in the past. The buildings were a mess, the people in poverty. Hiding their nest here was indeed an extremely good choice!

The fleet drove through streets and alleys, and soon stopped outside a huge courtyard. This was the Freemasons’ headquarters!
