Chapter: 6083
Hank explained, "He poured fuel into the cabin and set it ablaze, burning down the entire helicopter and machine library. And I also saw a figure inside. It might be that Peter Zhou... now they're probably already dead, maybe even turned to ash."
Howard was stunned, subconsciously asking, "Are you joking with me? That's just Peter Zhou, the son-in-law of An Qi Mountain. He's so well-respected and would never commit such a foolish act."
"I also don't understand..." Hank said, thinking about something else, and hurriedly added: "Ah, boss, Chen Zhimin said he wasn't selling his life for a family."
"What does that mean?" Howard felt like his brain was going to short circuit, asking again: "Who is he selling his life for?"
Hank replied: "He said it's some kind of 'Break Clear Assembly', I've never heard of it before, and he also said he wants to take Zhou Peter to meet the English king or something, and then he just... well..."
The person on the other end of the phone, Howard, was suddenly struck by lightning, muttering: "You... you mean what? Break Clear Assembly? Are you sure you didn't misunderstand?"
Hank assured him: "Sir, don't worry, I'm absolutely certain! He really said that, and others were with me too, they can vouch for me..."
Howard's muscles tightened, blurting out: "What do you mean? And are there others?"
"Ah... yes..." Hank said: "All my subordinates are here, following my orders to carry out the task..."
Howard felt like he was in a cold winter month outside, with someone opening up the sky above him, and the wind blowing straight into his face, scaring him. He quickly said: "Quickly, get all of them back here, not a single one left! And make sure to collect their phones too, absolutely no contact with anyone!"
Howard was so shocked and disoriented because he had heard his parents talk about this ancient and mysterious super organization, the Black Clear Society.
Although he didn't know much about it, he had received a warning from his parents: if he ever encountered the Black Clear Society, he should stay as far away from them as possible.
This is because other organizations need money, but this one needs lives.
Moreover, once these people decide to take matters into their own hands, they'll stop at nothing, even going so far as to love killing families.
However, in the Northern Federation, only the old-money aristocratic family, Rosshield, has ever heard of the Black Clear Society. For most people here, the name is completely unknown.
This is because the upper echelons of society in the Northern Federation are extremely complex.
Some are the new rich, born from the rise of Silicon Valley and Wall Street financial markets, with money but lacking foundation; others are old-money families that fought their way to the top during the war era, having some foundation but not much; and then there are the political families that emerged after the war, with little wealth but lots of influence.
The Black Clear Society is known only to those political families within these three groups. However, they deliberately avoid confrontation and never leak information about the Black Clear Society for fear of unnecessary risks.
Ultimately, the Black Clear Society differs from those terrifying organizations that have been infiltrating the world and various social circles for centuries, far exceeding those terrorist groups that have only been operating in remote mountainous areas of the Middle East for a few dozen years.
The political families are extremely wary of them,
except for the genuine connections between them and the Black Clear Society, as well as the historic Rothschild family.
The Rothschild family had long established roots in Europe before World War II, but due to the war, they gradually shifted their focus to the Northern Federation. Their ancestors were aware of the existence of the Black Clear Society as early as two hundred years ago and had even witnessed its methods.
Therefore, even after two hundred years have passed, each new generation of Rothschild leaders will make a special point to remind their successors not to provoke the Black Clear Society under any circumstances.
Howard originally didn't take the Black Clear Society seriously,
after all, from his grandfather's generation onwards, the Rothschild family had almost no direct connection with the Black Clear Society in reality. The legends about the Black Clear Society were still passed down through oral tradition, but everyone just considered it a story. JrNovels.com
