It was half past eleven o'clock at night.

The so-called three watches are coming.

The people of Shanghai County have already fallen asleep, but the world is still full of people.

When Han Huaiyi and his entourage took the safety staircase to take a look at the current business floor by the way, a group of gamblers happened to come out to eat supper.

Those who have won some money are shouting loudly and dancing with their hands.

Those who lose money are not convinced, and they will turn over the book later.

The hostesses who received meager salaries were on the sidelines and envied this group of people who at least gambled.

All living beings are in full view.

Immediately afterwards, they saw Han Huaiyi surrounded by a group of foreigners.

"Mr. Han!" The greenskins bent down and flashed to the side, their eyes full of admiration and awe.

"Hello Mr. Han." The waiters and shopkeepers of the restaurants and even some of the guests are greeting in unison.

"It's Mr. Han." Several singers from the dance hall deserted, and when they saw Han Huaiyi, they hid on the side and pointed and chirped.

The demeanor of the crowd cannot be faked.

This is the best proof of Han Huaiyi's status in Shanghai today.

Fei Vorli smiled and said, "Charlie, I feel like you are like the Lion King patrolling the territory. ”

"What I saw was gold coins ringing in our pockets." Han Huaiyi said, and by the way, he threw his hands around: "Everyone works hard." Everybody get rich! ”

"Mr. Xie Han!"

A bold dancer shouted, "Mr. Han will order me to drink tomorrow." ”

"You can't help it, your voice is quiet, and I have strict control at home." Han Huaiyi said with an embarrassed face, he was so down-to-earth that he naturally caused the surrounding people to laugh.

At this time, Jiang Wenwu chased after him with an excited face: "Mr. Han." ”

He wanted to speak again because he was holding a copy of today's property materials in his hand, Han Huaiyi took it and glanced at it and rolled it in his hand: "I'll take it first, by the way, if you have nothing to do, you can go back early, and you will be busy tomorrow after resting." In addition, inform all the finances, and each person will receive a bonus of 10 yuan tomorrow. ”

"Yes. Thank you, Mr. Han. ”

I finally went out and crossed the street to the club.

Han Huaiyi saw that the first floor of the club was being renovated.

Zhou Baotai, who was still in the hotel during the day, was supervising the work here, and when he saw Han Huaiyi and the foreigners, he was very smart not to bother.

After passing by the second floor where there were several White Russian guards, Han Huaiyi and the others came to the conference room on the third floor.

Jason, who was in charge of the project, opened the secret door hidden in the bookcase on the wall under Dewitt's startled gaze.

Passing through the dark staircase, they reached the real top floor.

Behind the heavy wooden door is a screen-like relief wall.

Walk around the walls to see what the hall looks like.

To the south of the hall are two blackout windows.

On the wall in the middle of the window hangs a banner with letters on it.

Dewitt was unable to discern the contents for the time being.

Under the banner there is an antique object shaped like a fireplace.

The hall is flanked by tall wooden cabinets and wine racks.

The supporting columns are of Greek style, and in front of the wooden cabinet stand two statues of knights with spears and prancing horses.

In the middle of the hall, a chandelier with a black lampshade hangs down, and although it is irregular, it is very asymmetrical.

Under the lamp, there is a spacious round table and thirteen chairs.

But the top of the table is vacant, facing the fireplace.

The screens embossed in the secret passages, the furnishings in the quaint hall and the round table ceremony, and the solemn expressions of the high-level officials of the French Concession who were silent around him made Dewitt a little panicked.

Are they going to sacrifice me to some demon? Confess, what is Charlie going to confess to me?

At this time, Han Huaiyi's voice sounded: "Today is the day to welcome the newcomers, and it is also the day when the Far Eastern Brotherhood officially launched its business plan. ”

"Brotherhood?" Hearing this lofty name, Dewitt felt like he was about to pee.

"Light up the altar, Elder Jason. Next, the Vice-President of the Brotherhood, Mr. Fivoli, the Elder Priest, and Mr. Merlot, the Deputy Priest, will first explain to you our organization and its purpose. Then we'll talk about other things. ”

As soon as Han Huaiyi's words fell, Jason pressed the switch.

Seven chandeliers and the "fireplace" at the end of the round table are lit.

The light emitted by these lamps was not bright, but it was enough for Dewitt to see the serious faces of the people around him, and to feel the solemnity of the place more deeply.

Dewitt noticed that in the center of that rectangular flag was a particularly striking sign.

This symbol is a half-circle of ears of wheat, and a circle composed of three English words for credibility, chivalry, and cooperation.

In the center of the circle is a huge ship full of gold coins.

The ship number is 3C.

There are also two staggered swords on the giant ship.

The words Illuminati and Brothers are engraved on the sword.

The overall color of the flag is red, and the color of the entire logo is black.

The flags of this hue do not conflict with the overall gloomy environment, but also stand out a little.

Dewitt looked around blankly.

If it weren't for the identities of these people, he might have suspected that it was a prank.

But the meeting was attended by Charlie Han, the French consul, the French sheriff and other well-known concession figures, and their identities determined the credibility of their words.

Dewitt's nervous mood relaxed slightly, but mentally he couldn't help but become more serious.

After Fei Volli and Melo invited him to the sofa by the altar at the front, Han Huaiyi sat down on the first chair on the right hand of the round table.

He looked through the materials that Jiang Wenwu had brought temporarily, temporarily interrupted the "brainwashing" work of Fei Volli and Merlot, and said: "Gentlemen, from five o'clock in the evening to just six hours, the revenue of the casinos of the Great World and Babylon has reached 10,000 taels of silver. Among them, the casino's revenue is as high as 11,000. ”

Everyone, including Dewitt, was dumbfounded by the amount.

"The biggest contribution in the casino is the VIP No. 1 hall that the casino is responsible for, and several Zhejiang businessmen gamble with the casino. As a result, 7,000 taels of silver were tossed on pai gow. Yan Jiuling wisely forbade them to continue gambling, and gave them 1,000 taels according to my rules, with an average of 200 taels per person. This should leave them speechless and grateful when they calm down. ”

"Well done, Charlie, it looks like this group of guests can qualify for the gambling boat program." Fevoli said.

Dewitt was confused: "Gambling on the boat? ”

"Your Excellency Charlie's idea is to transform a sea ship into a cruise ship with food, drink, and gambling, on which qualified gamblers can spend a lot of money, and we will take 10 percent of the money."

"And how much did you make today?" Dewitt couldn't help but ask.

Fei Voli laughed: "You, no, should be how much we earned. ”

"More than 20,000." Han Huaiyi said, because the money in the casino is pure profit.

"Alright, let's move on." Fei Volli saw Han Huaiyi pick up the pen and paper, turn on the gramophone and play music, he knew that Charlie had to think about some plans, so he said.

Half an hour later, Han Huaiyi, who had sorted out his thoughts, put down his pen and asked Dewitt, "How do you feel, Mr. Dewitt." ”

Dewitt is now like a drug.

He never imagined that he could become the Thirteenth Elder of such a great organization, and he could enjoy countless opportunities and wealth.

He was already exhilarating to the extreme.
