Chapter 1502 Freemason

All seeing eye.

One of the three top men's groups in Western history, Freemasonry.

"Are you a member?" Li Zitao was quite curious about this organization that existed only in legends before.

Skull and Bones, Freemasonry, Illuminati.

When it comes to the West and the United States, these miraculous organizations are always indispensable.

After more than 20 years, Li Zitao thought he would never meet again.

Hoover leaned back leisurely and said calmly, "I am a member of 33degree."

"Level 33, the most senior member?" Li Zitao glanced at him in surprise, his expression was a little playful, and he said seriously; "Then, do you have a big sword?"

"???" Hoover was confused, what the hell?

"The Sword of Freemason, I heard that Freemasons hang it behind their doors. Do you have it in your house?"

Hoover looked at him in surprise and said, "How do you know?"

Without answering his question, Li Zitao smiled embarrassedly and said, "Dude, do you sell your big sword?"

boom!

Hoover slapped the table like a frying pan and jumped up, pointed at him and shouted angrily, "Charlie, can I take your words as a challenge to the Freemasons?"

"No, no." Li Zitao waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile; "It's just a child's curiosity. Compared to it that has existed for centuries, I'm very young, aren't I?"

Looking at his half-smile, indifferent, and sincere smile, Hoover didn't know what to believe.

"Since you're here, it means we have something to talk about." Li Zitao spread his hands and relaxed: "Tell me, what do you want?"

"Join us." Hoover said, looking at him seriously.

Li Zitao looked at him with an expression of 'you're kidding me', and after a long time, it was as simple as that, joining them.

He doesn't think he's going to get hit by a pie, except for that one time 20 years ago.

"And then?" Li Zitao signaled him to continue talking.

Hoover sat down again and said: "You must know that in the history of Freemason, there has never been a person of color joining. You are the first, so you should be honored."

"Remember William Morgan?" The name Li Zitao mentioned was like a needle stuck in Hoover's heart.

The famous Morgan incident, the source of anti-Masonicism in the United States, is also the reason why they made a sudden turn in their statement, closed most public churches, and had to go underground completely.

In Pennsylvania and Vermont in the Northeast, some people even publicly funded large-scale campaigns by anti-Masonic members.

Now in both places, the influence of the Freemasons has been almost wiped out, which greatly annoys them, and is the last scar the Freemasons want to mention.

"Charlie, you are making a serious mistake." Hoover warned: "You are wrongly judging our strength."

"In the United States, the leaders of every industry and most of the elites are our members, Rockefeller, Morgan, Duke, Mellon, DuPont..."

Without saying a name, Hoover's tone became more complacent, "Oh, by the way, there is also your friend Jonathan, whose father is also a member of the Freemasonry."

"In other words, the whole of America is in your hands, right?" Li Zitao asked curiously, "If that's the case, why do you want me to join?"

Finding that Li Zitao wasn't scared or surprised, Hoover was even more puzzled by him.

Doesn't he understand how powerful these forces are when they combine together, and what kind of influence they can have?

"Any organization that wants to exist for a long time,

They all need to absorb high-quality fresh blood. We have inspected you for a long time, and you are qualified. "Hoover's attitude was like a handout.

According to the normal logic, Li Zitao should be overjoyed and flattered that the top men's group in the West wanted to recruit him.

But he didn't feel that way at all. Instead, he felt disgust and resistance from the bottom of his heart.

Accustomed to being a free man, he no longer likes to be controlled and follow orders.

"Can I ask, what level of membership am I if I join?" Li Zitao opened the cigar box, threw one to Hoover and asked, "Are you the same?"

"32 degrees." Seeing that he was subdued, Hoover said proudly; "32 degrees is already the highest honor. If you want to be promoted to 33 degrees, you must meet the conditions."

"What conditions?" Li Zitao was like a curious baby.

Hoover said impatiently; "That's not your concern."

"In other words, I have no chance to reach 33 degrees." Li Zitao said clearly; "I need time to think about it."

Hoover, who had just put on his cigar and was about to order him as a senior member, stayed for a while, "What did you say?"

"I said, I need time to think about it." Li Zitao spread his hands; "I naturally need time to think about such a big matter."

"Could it be that when the other party invited you to join, you just agreed?" Li Zitao's tone was irritating.

Pressing the cigar out in a rude manner, Hoover straightened his collar and threatened: "Then, I hope you can think carefully and don't make trouble for yourself...Charlie."

After Hoover left, Li Zitao stayed alone in the room for a long time.

the next day.

Before dawn, he called Lawrence, "Hey, man, if there is no plan to make money, I will ask you to pay for my mental damage."

Li Zitao said to the phone: "Freemason."

"How do you know? You want to join?" Lawrence immediately restrained his smile.

"Didn't you ask Mr. Director to come and invite me to join?" Li Zitao said the word 'invitation' very emphatically.

"How is that possible." Lawrence said seriously: "If you want to invite you, it should be me, Jonathan, Doris or someone else."

Lawrence said several names in a row, and finally said; "Julianna is more suitable than him."

"Julie too?" Li Zitao was a little depressed to find that he was surrounded by a circle of freemasons, and he didn't know anything about it.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?" Li Zitao didn't get angry because everyone has their own secrets and rights.

He was just curious about it, why no one mentioned it to him.

"Uh!" Lawrence touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Freemasonry has never had a precedent for people of color to join, so..."

In fact, it is because there are a group of members within the Freemasonry with strong racial concepts and discrimination.

And if you want to join Freemason, you need to get the consent of all members, and no one will do it knowing that it is impossible.

After telling him about Hoover's arrival, Lawrence said a little confused; "Wait, I need to find someone to confirm, and I will call back later."

Hearing that the other person hung up the phone, Li Zitao waited patiently in the room, feeling a little hungry after relaxing.

Having someone prepare breakfast for himself, Li Zitao took a shower in the public bathroom of Qinghua Building, and walked out comfortably and refreshed with his clothes in his arms.

boom.

When passing through the curtain, a figure suddenly appeared behind, bumping into him.
