Having figured this out, Chen Dong felt much calmer.
But then, a huge wave of emotions surged within him.
He knew he had to do something!
"You really didn't touch my men or my girlfriend?" Chen Dong asked again.
“Of course! If I dare to do it, I will definitely admit it! If I didn’t do it, of course I won’t admit it. Whether you believe me or not is your business, it has nothing to do with me!” Mr. M replied.
Chen Dong nodded.
Perhaps what this "M" is saying is true; he did not kidnap Vivian Chow and her two bodyguards.
Judging from the other party's indifference to human life, if his men were really in the other party's hands, he certainly wouldn't go to the trouble of setting up a dummy there. Instead, he would just put on a live show, which would be both convenient and complete the "cleanup" work he mentioned.
After all, that's convenient and doesn't require much worry.
So who exactly did it?
Could it be the organization of the guy who warned me twice?
But if that's the case, what's the reason? Why would they do that?
Chen Dong had a slight guess about this.
However, the most urgent matter is to resolve the issue with this M.
"What benefits would I gain, and what would I lose if I joined you?"
When M saw Chen Dong ask this question, he perked up.
"Heh, what you get depends on what you want!"
"There are gains and losses. Compared to what you have gained, what you have lost is far, far less!"
Could you elaborate?
"Okay, let me give you a few examples. All the presidents of the United States, except for Lincoln and Kennedy who were assassinated, were Freemasons."
"I don't want to be president." Chen Dong pretended not to understand.
The other person glanced at him but didn't dwell on the topic.
"As you should know, our organization has gathered countless leaders from various industries around the world. To give you a few examples, Newton, Franklin, Chaplin, Beethoven, MacArthur, Kemal Atatürk, the 'Father of the Nation' of Turkey, Walt Disney, the founder of Disney, and so on, are all our members."
"Really?" Chen Dong's face showed an incredulous expression.
"Heh, would I need to lie to you?" M said dismissively.
"That's hard to say!" Chen Dong thought to himself.
Who knows what lies this guy might tell in order to recruit me?
"Why did you come to me?" Chen Dong asked again.
"I've already answered that question, I won't repeat myself." The other person was getting impatient.
"Hehe, of course, you should do what you want to do. Everyone has their own place. For example, if you are particularly insightful and talented in finance, then after you join, you will have more available tools, more funds, and more people to cooperate with your work. At the same time, you will also recognize the true laws of how the world economy works, and then you will find that secrets are everywhere."
"If you can understand and utilize these secrets, you will gain more wealth and a higher status. Therefore, it will bring you a promotion within the organization. This promotion will definitely be of great benefit to you, whether in terms of spirit, material possessions, or mind."
"Oh, you have such methods?" Chen Dong asked, somewhat curious.
Mr. M launched into another long-winded speech, promoting his views.
"This is not surprising. Think about it, so many outstanding figures in history have joined us. Each of them has their own unique strengths, because every master in a certain field is a genius. These are what distinguish them from ordinary people."
"The accumulated experience and knowledge of these geniuses will be an immense treasure. You simply cannot imagine it!"
"To be honest, these geniuses have more casual ideas than many ordinary people have in a lifetime! So, this world is ultimately a world of smart people and geniuses."
"As ordinary people, we're only fit to be ants, or rather, raised like pigs, living a muddled and aimless life. Eating, sleeping, working, and having fun—that's the life of ordinary people! They have no idea how vast this world truly is, or how lovely yet terrifying the real world is!"
"And now you have a chance to break free, to stop being an ordinary person, to stop being someone who is raised like a pig!"
As Mr. M spoke, his expression grew increasingly fervent.
"Join us, and you will understand the truth of this world; you will truly live!"
"Hehe, what you said is indeed somewhat interesting, but that's all."
Chen Dong scoffed at M's statement.
However, to avoid offending the other party, punishing them, or causing them unnecessary trouble, he could only say it this way, trying to be as tactful as possible.
“But I don’t agree with your way of doing things, so I’m sorry, I refuse to join!” he said calmly to the mountain of flesh.
"What did you say?" Mr. M asked in a low voice, his tone turning cold.
He never expected that this Asian man, whom he had always looked down upon, would dare to refuse him and refuse to join the Freemasons.
