...

"Who are you?"

Old Barry, indeed the head of the Neville Family and a Deacon of Freemasonry, despite feeling the icy coldness from the Longsword, quickly regained his composure, and asked with a sinister tone.

"Who am I? You should be able to guess…"

Qin Fang didn't answer directly, only responded with a mischievous smile.

"I can guess…"

Old Barry was slightly stunned, appearing even more puzzled… He had never met Qin Fang directly, how could he possibly guess? His expression became even more rigid, "Who exactly are you?"

"You've been eyeing Richie's position, and it's a spot I made available for you… You really couldn't guess who I am!"

Only then did Qin Fang leisurely speak.

"Did you kill Richie?"

Old Barry couldn't keep calm at this point, looking at the unfamiliar face before him with a deep sense of shock and surprise… Richie, as one of the Four Emissaries and the Ace of Hearts, was already considered a high-level core member, but now he had been killed, and this incident was quite significant within Freemasonry.

However, not only did the murderer not hide and evade Freemasonry's hunt, but instead openly showed up at his home, standing in front of him… This truly shocked him! Though simultaneously, he was also a bit fearful…

Qin Fang dared to kill Richie, the Ace of Hearts, so he naturally wouldn't mind sending him to Hell as well…

"NO! NO! NO! NO!"

However, Qin Fang kept shaking his head, "Richie died right in front of me, but I actually wasn't the one who killed him…"

The reason Richie died was because Qin Fang used the Mind Reading Technique to discover the deepest secrets within his heart, triggering a pre-set restriction, which then counterattacked and killed him… Qin Fang truly didn't intend to kill him, yet Richie still ended up dead.

But…

Old Barry clearly didn't believe this.

In his view, Richie died, and even if Qin Fang didn't do it personally, it must have been one of Qin Fang's accomplices…

"What exactly do you want?"

After a moment of silence, Old Barry finally curiously inquired… He could tell, Qin Fang didn't seem to have murderous intent towards him; otherwise, he would have already acted, with no need for so much unnecessary talk.

"Well, that depends on your choice…"

Qin Fang responded with a smile.

At this moment, he even released the sword pressed against Old Barry's neck, leisurely walking to the sofa and sitting down, appearing no longer as discreet as before.

"What do you mean?"

Yet Old Barry didn't relax because of this, instead becoming more tense. He vaguely sensed that Qin Fang's true purpose might plunge him into a massive crisis.

"I can help you climb to the Ace of Hearts, even the Black Spade A position…"

Only then did Qin Fang leisurely speak.

Regarding this point, Old Barry didn't think it impossible at all… In fact, it was rather straightforward, just by eliminating everyone who might ascend to that position! Qin Fang already eliminated Richie, the Ace of Hearts, so he certainly wouldn't mind getting rid of a few more core members of Freemasonry.

"What do I need to pay?"

There's no such thing as a free lunch, since Qin Fang proactively offered him such a benefit, he definitely would want something in return; it's absolutely impossible to give him this gift for no reason.

"Submit to me…"

Since the matter was already laid out, Qin Fang didn't hide his intentions any longer.

"Hahahahaha…"

Though he had long anticipated Qin Fang's possible terms, when Qin Fang actually spoke them, Old Barry couldn't help but burst into laughter… Luckily his office had good soundproofing, otherwise, it might have startled the guards outside.

"I don't know who you really are, but you should know my identity… Freemasonry is not as simple as you imagine!"

After laughing for a while, Old Barry then couldn't help but sneer.

He was a core member of Freemasonry, so he was very aware of Freemasonry's strength… But precisely because of this understanding, he knew how terrifying Freemasonry was, and it absolutely wouldn't tolerate rebellion.

Though Freemasonry's rules might not be as harsh as The Holy See's intolerance for heretics, it absolutely does not permit the existence of traitors and rebels… Once exposed, the consequences would be unimaginably terrible.

Not only would the rebel himself die miserably, but his relatives, friends, and the associated family behind him would also be doomed… With the power that Freemasonry holds, achieving this wouldn't be difficult at all.

It's because of this that Old Barry reacted this way when he heard Qin Fang speak...

"Of course, I know Freemasonry is not simple..."

Qin Fang, however, was indifferent to Old Barry's reaction and said with a smile, "But... so what? I killed Ace of Hearts Richie, wiped out the entire Rose Manor, but here I am, still fine. Has Freemasonry found me?"

"Do you really think you can escape?"

The smile on Old Barry's face was quite disdainful,

"Things have happened too suddenly for now. When the Temple Envoy emerges, you'll have nowhere to escape... Let me advise you, while you haven't fully exposed yourself, leave America quickly and find a secluded place to hide. You might still have a slim chance of survival!"

"It seems you intend to persist in your stubbornness, to go down to the bitter end?"

Looking at Old Barry's face, Qin Fang asked with a chuckle.

He was just trying it out, but he didn't expect Freemasonry to have brainwashed these core members so thoroughly. Even in the face of such threats, Old Barry wasn't moved...

"..."

Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Old Barry suddenly became tense. It was only then that he remembered his life was currently in Qin Fang's hands. He subtly reached under his desk.

"Let me also advise you, a gun means nothing to me, save your effort... As for wanting to deliver a message, it's better not to do so either. I don't want the tragedy of Rose Manor to be reenacted here!"

At this time, Qin Fang, still sitting, lazily reminded him.

Old Barry's movements immediately stiffened, and he didn't doubt Qin Fang's words at all...

The armed forces at Rose Manor are much stronger than here...

Just the twelve Temple Executors already formed a terrifying armed force, not to mention the fierce firepower support. Even for the military, attacking in was not easy, let alone completely destroying Rose Manor. It would need an incredibly formidable strength.

And here, repelling small-time thieves would be easy. Dealing with ordinary mercenaries would be no problem...

But against a terrifying force capable of sweeping through Rose Manor, it was far inferior!

"What exactly do you want?"

Old Barry once again repeated his question, his palms completely wet, a sign of his restless heart at this moment.

"What I want, I already told you earlier! Unfortunately, you were uncooperative! Since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, I'll have to do it myself!"

Qin Fang now stood up, speaking as he walked toward Old Barry.

"What... what are you going to do?"

At this moment, Old Barry could no longer remain calm and quickly reached for his gun... He had been startled by Qin Fang before, but now that Qin Fang expressed his intent to act, he naturally sought to protect himself.

But...

Before his hand could touch the gun hidden beneath the desk, Qin Fang had already reached him and lightly tapped his shoulder. Old Barry felt a sharp pain like a needle prick in his shoulder and then lost control over his body.

"What have you... done to me?"

Old Barry was thoroughly terrified. His body inexplicably immobilized, undoubtedly Qin Fang's doing... Now, whether resisting or committing suicide, was beyond his control.

"Help..."

Instinctively, he wanted to cry out for help...

But Qin Fang was faster, inserting a silver needle into Barry's neck, and no matter how much he tried to yell, no sound came out!

"It's useless to struggle..."

Qin Fang said with a smile, "Since I dared to say so much to you, I naturally have a way to deal with you... Save it; since you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit, it's time to send you on your way!"

As he spoke, a cold longsword was placed across Old Barry's chest, aiming at his heart, seemingly deciding how to pierce it effectively.

"Mmm mmm mmm~~~"

Old Barry's eyes were filled with fear, but besides making this sound, he couldn't scream or evade.

Death seemed imminent!

However, what he might not have expected was that Qin Fang was using the Mind Reading Technique on him, probing all the information in his mind... Besides some details on Freemasonry, there were also secrets about the Neville Family.

One reason Qin Fang came, besides Old Barry being the New York Steward of Freemasonry, was because he was the head of the Neville Family...

In Qin Fang's planned scheme, Old Barry played a significant role...

Therefore, as Old Barry's fear grew, Qin Fang even used the Soul Control Technique on him... (To be continued.
