Chapter 474: The Missing Carlos

Chapter 474: The Missing Carlos

It was Carlos who took Jack in the Grand Freemasons on his own with Rena.

It was also Carlos who urged Rena to take care of him.

During this period, Carlos would come here at least once a day.

The assassination tonight attracted the attention of the whole SH guildhall.

Considering Carlos's concerns about Jack, it was impossible that he did not get there at this moment!

"Does he have some trouble?"

Jack and Isaac speculated at the same time.

At this point, Rena had rushed out of the room.

Noticing Isaac's intention of running out of the room, Jack shouted, "Take me with you."

Isaac returned and pushed Jack's wheelchair towards Carlos's residence.

When the two got there, they saw Rena standing at the gate, motionlessly.

"Where's Mr. Carlos?"

Isaac asked.

"He's not here."

Rena turned around, with her eyebrow knitted tightly, and her beautiful face was full of worries.

Isaac's face was frozen suddenly.

And it also made Jack's heart sink.

The whole room was empty. And they found that even the bed was neat after checking out.

Apparently, Carlos had been "missing" before he went to bed.

But where would he go... at night?

"Somebody comes here!"

Isaac shouted loudly.

A middle-aged man rushed in, "Master, what can I do?"

Isaac asked, "Where is Mr. Carlos?"

"He went out." the man answered immediately, who was especially responsible for the care of Carlos, "Mr. Carlos left SH guildhall in a hurry about an hour ago."

At this time, Rena came with worries on her face.

She held her cell phone in her hand, and there was mist in her eyes.

"His phone is off!"

Jack and Isaac looked sullen instantly.

If Carlos had just left here, they would not be worried.

But the time Carlos left was when the attacker arrived. What's more, they could not get in touch with him.

No matter which way they choose to consider these two incidents, these two things must be connected.

Since the attacker could enter the SH guildhall to assassinate Jack, they also could attack Carlos!

"Rena, take Jack back to the eastern courtyard. I'll go out for Mr. Carlos."

Isaac made a decision immediately.

When Jack was about to say a word, Isaac gave him a glance and interrupted,

"You should stay the courtyard now, rather than go out with me."

Then Isaac went away.

Jack smiled bitterly and looked at his legs subconsciously.

The "losing contact" with Carlos made Rena worried a lot.

But Isaac had made decisions, so she could not violate it no matter how worried she was.

It was the rule of the Grand Freemasons.

The orders of the Head, which was like the imperial edict in ancient times, could not violate.

Rena pushed Jack back to the eastern courtyard in a trance.

After helping Jack lie lie on the bed, she sat on the chair, holding her mobile phone in her hands, and she would press the phone from time to time.

"Don't worry. Mr. Carlos will be okay." Jack comforted her.

"You don't understand."

Rena shook her head, "There are many people who want to kill my grandfather. So he will make a plan about the route in advance and designate people from the Grand Freemasons to protect him in secret." After a pause, she stared at Jack, "Even before when my grandfather and I went for you for the first time, it seemed that there were only me and my grandfather, but actually there were someone else from the Grand Freemasons."

Jack was silent and looked gloomy.

Rena meant that maybe the one who made Carlos missing was not that who want to kill Jack.

But there was a great chance that it was the enemy of the Grand Freemasons who did this. So Carlos might have terrible troubles.

Otherwise he could not leave SH guildhall alone without protection and telling others.

Rena rubbed her face and said with worries that If Mr. Carlos, the only great elder of the Grand Freemasons, had some sufferings, it will be a disaster for the them."

Jack nodded, without feeling her words rude.

Even if he was now the other great elder of Grand Freemasons.

Since he was clear how the status was from.

Compared with Carlos, his status was not orthodox.

The only great elder was the symbol of Grand Freemasons, who witnessed the history of the Grand Freemasons and was like a living fossil.

If the only great elder should be missing, the others would despise its strength like it was a paper tiger.

It was a matter of dignity of the Grand Freemasons.

And it was also a consequence caused by the harm of its dignity.

Seeing Rena's worried and anxious look.

Jack did not know how to comfort her.

He knew something about Rena during these days in the SH guildhall.

For example, Rena's parents died miserably shortly after her birth, leaving her and Carlos caring for each other.

It was also for this reason that Carlos took good care of Rena, and made Rena the apple of the eye of the whole Grand Freemasons with his status.

On the coast.

The breeze blew gently with fishy smells and moist.

The sound of the waved reached ears.

It was a deserted corner of a beach.

There was not even a street lamp, and the only light was the moonlight in the sky.

The sea glinted in the moonlight.

A man stood in the dark, stepping on the beach, with the waves bringing sands and covering his feet, but he still did not move.

There was suddenly a light on the seaside road behind him.

A "Bumblebee" galloped with rumbling.

Creak!

The car stopped.

The door opened and a rickety man went off slowly.

It was Carlos.

Instead of being on crutches, he walked around to the co pilot's seat and took out two jars of wine.

Looking at the sealed jar, he took a deep breath in an enjoyable way then cracked a satisfied smile.

Then he walked off the road and stepped on the rough gravel towards the seaside.

As if... he had known that someone was standing in the dark.

"Are you here?"

Hearing the footsteps behind.

The man in the dark asked in a calm tone.Content rights belong to .

If Rena was here, she would recognize the man was the one who broke into the villa and drove her and her grandfather away!

"Yeah!"

Carlos nodded with a smile. His aged body and two jars of wine made him walk slowly and arduously, as if he was going to fall over.

He glanced at the man in the dark who did not even move with complaint, then he said with a bitter smile, "I have stolen two jars of Nu'er Hong of my granddaughter to treat you. You are supposed to give me a hand. Are you picking on me since I'm old and weak?"

Nu'er Hong was a kind of good wine, which was stored in the cellar when the daughter was born. It was used as a dowry when a daughter got married at the age of eighteen. It meant blessing. These two jars of wine represented how strong the friendship was!

"Oh!"

The man sneered, "Nu'er Hong was a dowry in ancient times. But now there are so few girls who are virgins when they get married."

Carlos was shocked and his face turned red.

There was a great anger in his face.

He said angrily, "Old man. I will teach you a lesson if you continue slandering my granddaughter."

"Oh! I'm not slandering your granddaughter. I've just experienced a lot. Do you know how many girls of the same age as your granddaughter on the occasion of revelry call me old baby?" The man in the dark shrugged, "Well, we got too far away. You such a old man of conservative can't understand this kind of happiness. Take the wine as we come to the point."☐☐☐☐☐
