Chapter 2117: Chapter 2117: The Humiliation Came Too Quickly

“I don’t want to hear about this!” Gill shouted angrily.

“Has the fire been put out?”

“Not yet. Several fires have broken out across the city, and the firefighting forces are all spread thin. Over here at the Freemasons’ building, there are only two fire trucks. It’s very difficult to control the blaze!”

“Damn it! Find a way to fix this immediately!”

“Y-yes, understood!”

Gill’s fury was beyond control.

He had worked hard in the Freemasons for many years, carried out countless missions, and had finally reached B-class, earning the opportunity to be promoted to Grand Warden.

He had thought this would be the perfect chance to prove himself, but things had gone wrong right from the start.

And it happened right in front of Connolly.

“The other side is very clever. Your anger is pointless,” Connolly said.

“Berghain is already in trouble. He might be preparing to head to Toyo now. You should start preparing as well.”

“Understood!” Gill replied seriously.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Just then, Evans’ phone rang. He instinctively glanced at Connolly.

The latter nodded in approval, and Evans stepped outside to take the call.

Less than a minute later, Evans hurriedly ran back in.

“Supervisor, the Freemasons’ building in Toyo is on fire as well.”

“How is that possible!?”

Helice and Gill exclaimed in unison, “He’s in Berghain, how could something like this happen?”

“It’s simple. He has accomplices in Toyo,” Connolly stated.

“B*stard!”

Gill clenched his fists tightly, his face a mask of rage, like a volcano about to erupt.

Even Connolly, who had maintained a calm expression all this time, couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

This was something even he hadn’t anticipated.

Evans’ assumption was also accurate.

Because over in Sunrise Land, it was Lin Yi who had arranged for Caie Mitsui to cause the distraction.

They were trying to divert the Freemasons’ attention.

“There are six Freemasons headquarters around the world. Four have already been destroyed by fire. Only Newyo and Soul remain. Spread our people out, and make sure there are no more mishaps.”

“Understood!”

The four men bowed. Connolly stood, slightly hunched, and slowly walked out of the office.

Evans gave Gill a meaningful glance but said nothing further. He turned and left with Helice, leaving Gill and Nathan behind in the office.

“That damn black!” Gill cursed, unwilling to accept the situation.

“Calm down, man,” Nathan said casually.

“Walker’s dead. He wanted to promote one of his own to fill the Grand Steward position, but you beat him to it. Naturally, he’s not happy about it and is likely waiting for you to make a fool of yourself.”

“But I won’t let that happen!” Gill declared.

“If nothing goes wrong, the person my team ran into in Berghain should be Lin Yi. Now he only has two targets left: Newyo and Soul. Based on the current trajectory, his next move should be Newyo, and I’m already prepared to take action.”

Nathan nodded. “That sounds like the right plan. Act quickly. The Supervisor is already quite upset, and this is your chance to secure the Grand Warden position. It’s up to you how you handle it.”

“I understand.”

The two of them spoke while walking, soon exiting the building.

Coincidentally, Evans and Helice were standing at the entrance, engaged in a conversation. Both their expressions were grim, as if they had a disagreement.

“Haven’t you two left yet?” Gill asked, grinning at Evans. “Want to grab a drink to celebrate my promotion?”

As someone with deeply ingrained racist views, Gill had always looked down on Evans.

He believed that a “black” like Evans being part of the Freemasons was an utter disgrace.

“The situation with the Central Guard Brigade hasn’t been resolved yet. You’re not the Grand Warden yet. Know your place,” Evans replied.

“True, but I don’t think that’s going to be an issue,” Gill shrugged.

“I’ve already analyzed his movements. He’s heading to Newyo soon, and you can count on me to bring back good news. When I’m officially promoted to Grand Warden, I’ll throw a huge party, and you must come.”

Evans squinted but didn’t respond. However, anyone could see the anger on his face.

But he had nothing to say because Gill’s assessment was entirely correct.

His men were in Ouzhou, and the next logical step in the plan was indeed Newyo.

Gill had already reached B-class, while the leaders of the Central Guard Brigade were only C-class. The difference in strength was vast. If Gill took action, Lin Yi’s chances of escape were slim.

At this point, none of the Freemasons knew that Walker had been killed by Ning Che’s gun because he couldn’t defeat Lin Yi.

As a result, they all still assumed that as long as a Grand Warden-level figure was sent, and it wasn’t within the Central Guard Brigade’s base in Yanjing, their leader would stand no chance against him.

If Lin Yi dared to show up in Newyo, he would surely die!

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The tense atmosphere was interrupted by the sound of Evans’ phone ringing.

It was a call from one of his subordinates.

“What did you say? Something’s happened in Newyo?”

Evans’ words immediately made Gill and Nathan tense up, and even Helice’s gaze fixed on Evans.

“Handle it quickly! Don’t waste any time!” Evans urged.

“Retrieve the surveillance footage immediately. I need to know his movements!”

A few minutes later, Evans hung up and turned to Gill.

“It seems your plan has failed. The Freemasons’ building in New York has also been set on fire.”

“How is that possible?! Ring! Ring! Ring!”

Gill didn’t even have time to process his shock before his phone started ringing as well.

When he answered, his expression changed repeatedly.

Both calls had delivered the same news: the Freemasons’ building in Newyo was on fire.

After hanging up, Gill no longer appeared as arrogant as he had earlier.

He even seemed a bit embarrassed.

“The person you’re dealing with is far more difficult than you imagined,” Evans said.

“Young man, this mission might require a bit more effort than you anticipated.”

With that, the two of them got into a car, leaving Gill to curse in frustration.

In terms of composure, he was not yet suited for the role of Grand Warden.

“Alright, now’s not the time to be angry,” Nathan said.

“He’s already succeeded in Newyo, so his next target will definitely be Soul. You need to move fast. Get to Soul as quickly as possible and wait for him there! If all six headquarters are destroyed, the Freemasons will be humiliated on a global scale!”

Gill narrowed his eyes, his expression growing more savage.

“Don’t worry. This time, I won’t let him get away. I’ll break his legs and make him pay for crossing the Freemasons!”
