Chapter 787 Watertight
Cheer started to shudder after the call ended. It was not because of the fact that all the members of the
seven regions were ordered to protect Jack with their lives. It was certainly worth their sacrifices to
protect the life of an Elder pioneer.
What shocked him was he was representing the Mafia boss to command the seven regions! This was
an unbelievable honor! The six regions surrounding South Maine were on even keel with South Maine This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
and all of them were on the same status but now in the critical moment, he was being thrust forward to
lead the seven regions! This was a huge opportunity to make a significant contribution to the Grand
Freemasons.
“Hoof… whether I succeed in life depends on this moment!” Cheer took a deep breath and suppressed
his anxieties and walked quickly out to mobilize the forces. He was a smart man. He knew that for the
Mafia boss to empower so much power and resources to him because the task at hand was going to
be extremely dangerous and complex.
Based on the behavior of Elder Hughes, the situation must be very critical and urgent. Every minute
and second of the two days would be very intense and stressful. It would be dangerous at every
moment and no time to let their guard down. He also knew that the more dangerous the task was, the
greater would be his reward. If it was not dangerous, then why would the Elder look for him? If it was
not dangerous, then how could he leave a good impression with the Elder and strive for a better future?
Three minutes were very short but it was enough for Cheer to mobilize all the men within the “Cheer
Teahouse”. Jack did not enter the “Cheer Teahouse” and waited outside. At the three-minute mark,
Cheer had already gathered the men and weapons and ready for their mission. The scene drew the
attention of bystanders along the old street.
Then, Cheer declared, “Elder Hughes, a hundred and twenty-eight men of the South Maine region are
here. The remaining four hundred and seventy-two men are on their way.”
Cheer then turned to face the men and rebuked, “Where are your manners?”
Immediately the hundred and twenty-eight men knelt and roared, “Elder Hughes, we are at service!”
Their voices and expressions revealed their determination, zealous and courage. Everyone along the
street looked in awe and many of them stared at Jack and remarked, “What’s going on? The Cheer
Teahouse compensated us ten times the bill and asked us to leave all because of this crippled?”
“Who is that man in the wheelchair? Who knows this man? My gosh, what did it mean for them to
address him as an Elder?”
“Golly, this looks dangerous, will anything happen soon?”
…
Jack could not be bothered by all the remarks. But now at South Maine, the Bloody Angel organization,
the Kool family, and other strange organizations all had focused their attention on him. Now he could
not waste his time on other distractions.
“Set off!” Jack ordered.
The hundred and twenty-eight men rose in unison. Cheer brought Jack towards the lead vehicle. Then
the motorcade of tens of cars drove off like a slithering dragon towards its battle.
Outside the hospital.
The arrival of the motorcade of cars attracted much attention. Everyone looked at the convoy with
surprise and curiosity. The cars surrounded the hospital and ensured the area was safe before Jack
exited the car with Cheer’s help. Several men escorted Jack into the hospital.
Curious onlookers started to gather at the entrance of the hospital. The black business suits worn by all
the members of the Grand Freemasons gave an impression that something serious was going on. The
people started to murmur and speculate. Everyone looked towards Jack.
“Make the necessary arrangements,” Jack ordered Cheer. The gathering of the killers forced Jack to
abandon his typical desires to maintain a low profile. He was willing to do anything to ensure the safety
of Amber.
Under the orders of Cheer, the members of the Grand Freemasons spilt up into their teams and
secured the various entrances of the hospital and surrounded the hospital. This shocked everyone as if
they were preparing for an impending battle.
God… what’s going on? The hospital was a public access building and how could a hundred men be
protecting and surrounding the hospital so swiftly?
The director of the hospital was escorted by a security guard and ran towards Jack and Cheer. Before
the director spoke, a doctor remarked in surprise, “Mr. Hughes, what’s the meaning of this?” This
doctor was treating Amber and her mother, Rosie.
“I’m sorry to alarm everyone but I am doing this for my wife and mother-in-law’s safety.” Jack
apologized and explained.
Safety? Immediately the director and doctor looked at the men protecting the hospital. Were all these
necessary just to protect his wife and mother-in-law?
“I’m sorry, Director, I’m Cheer of the Cheer Teahouse”. Cheer walked in front of Jack, smiled, and
spoke to the Director. The doctors remained bewildered but the Director’s expression changed.
As the director of a hospital, his status and social circle were different from the regular doctors. In
reality, people in the upper social circle of South Maine know that the Cheer Teahouse of the old street
was not a regular tea house. They were the local chapter of the Grand Freemasons!
When the director came to his senses, he smiled at Cheer and then said, “My apologies, Cheer, can
both of you come with me to my office? As the Director of the hospital, it is my duty to understand what
is going on.”
“Okay.” Cheer nodded and smiled.
Just as they were about to move off, the onlookers remarked loudly, “Gosh! Look! Here comes another
motorcade!”
