The round-faced middle-aged man was thinking of withdrawing from Jingzhou and returning to headquarters from the start. He had never planned on going to other cities to develop.
Some large cities already had Freemason branches in them. Even if the round-faced man brought a whole group of people over, they'd only live in the shadow of others. This was something he definitely didn't want to deal with.
Although his mind was being controlled to a certain degree, it wasn't like he didn't have ambitions of his own. He was still aware of the principle of being the head of a chicken rather than the tail of a bull.
Instead, why not return to the headquarters and report the situation in Xinjing City to the higher-ups, then wait for their arrangements?
