Yamarin had said that the bank needed to protect its credibility, which made sense. But the other senior executives at Swiss Bank were more aware of how significant a blow their business would suffer, now that the IRS had got hold of their weak spot.
Just as the atmosphere became somewhat tense, a sudden knock on the door was heard from outside.
"Jasic, go check it out."
The man named Jasic who was called upon hurried to open the door.
Standing at the doorway was a well-dressed man exuding an air of scholarly sophistication.
"May I ask who you are?"
"I am a representative of Freemasonry, here to speak with Mr. Yamarin."
"Freemasonry!"
Jasic was stunned, then quickly turned to Yamarin and the others inside and said, "Yamarin, a representative from Freemasonry is here."
Upon hearing this, Yamarin Humphrey and the others in the hall were also taken aback, after which their faces fell simultaneously.
After a moment of thought, Yamarin finally said, "Let him in!"
