"Why do you know about the Holy Book?" John asked in shock.
This was one of Freemasonry's deepest secrets. Had there really been a traitor among them?
"Oh? So that thing actually exists?" Surprisingly, Lao Da sounded a little startled himself.
John: "..."
He had been tricked!
In fact, once Nie Yun learned that Freemasonry was behind this operation against the Ghost Captain, he had focused his surveillance on its members' communications.
He had then been rather surprised to discover that some of its senior members occasionally mentioned the "Holy Book." Although their references were vague, they seemed to regard it as a sacred relic. Even this operation against him had something to do with this so-called Holy Book.
That had piqued Nie Yun's curiosity.
Granted, communications around the world contained all sorts of things, but surely Freemasonry's core leadership, who considered themselves the elite of Earth, weren't all suffering from adolescent delusions? And so Nie Yun had grown curious about this supposedly real "Holy Book" they kept mentioning.
"All right, since it really exists, take us to get it," Lao Da told John.
"Impossible. This is our sacred relic. We will never hand it over to outsiders, even if you kill us!" Before John could speak, Klein coldly refused the three of them.
John's gaze flickered, but he said nothing.
"Sigh... You're making things difficult for me by refusing to cooperate! In that case, Er Mao!" Lao Da sighed.
