Mr. Lin Yu had been a pillar to Scott when he had nothing, and now Scott had become one of his favorite protégés.
Throughout Scott's journey, it was impossible for him to refuse anything given to him by Lin Yu. Scott found himself indebted to Lin Yu for countless favors.
One morning, as Michael was on his way to work, he bumped into Scott. Scott was not happy to see him; he was full of rage against his uncle. Nevertheless, he was not ready to compromise his mission for anything.
Michael stopped his vehicle and called out to Scott, but Scott was not willing to answer. "Don't worry. The less you stay away from me, the better for you," Scott said. Because Scott did not answer him, Michael drove off, confused and concerned.
Michael went ahead to see Thomas and told him what happened, but Thomas was not surprised.
He knew why Scott harbored such anger. "Don't worry yourself too much over nothing," Thomas said. "Everything will be fine." They started talking about politics, and Thomas brought out a glass and a bottle of brandy.
They both drank and relaxed, letting their worries fade away for the moment.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lin Yu had promised Scott to take good care of his younger brother, David.
He called Scott to his office, and Scott went immediately. Mr. Lin Yu handed Scott a brown envelope, saying, "This is a gift from me to you." Scott was shocked and curious. When he opened it, he found a passport, other travel documents, and some cash. The passport bore David's name.
Tears flowed down Scott's cheeks as he realized the magnitude of the gift.
Scott knelt down with gratitude, but Mr. Lin Yu lifted him up.
"No need to cry anymore. The light has come to shine upon you," he said.
Scott went home with joy in his heart, eager to share the marvelous news with David.
When he arrived, he found David and told him, "You will be leaving the country to study. This was made possible by my boss at the office." David was overwhelmed with happiness.
They had a lot of fun together, celebrating this new opportunity. David was to leave the country in two days, and Scott decided not to inform their uncles about it.
When the day came, Scott escorted David to the airport. "You have to make me proud," Scott said. "Take care of yourself."
David promised, "I won't fail you," and boarded the plane.
A week later, Mr. Lin Yu asked Scott about the proposal they had discussed. Scott replied, "I am ready, sir." Mr. Lin Yu told him to prepare his mind, spirit, body, and soul for what was to come.
Mr. Lin Yu had built Scott as a weapon of distraction. Trained by an ex-soldier called Eagle, who had been betrayed by his comrades and left to die, Scott was molded into a formidable force.
Mr. Lin Yu saw potential in Eagle and helped him, and Eagle became a part of Lin Yu's inner circle.
After Scott's training was over, Mr. Lin Yu congratulated him. "Son, remember when I first saw you, I knew we had the same will.
Now, we have to explore the world together." As they walked through the hallway, Mr. Lin Yu told Scott he wanted to take him somewhere special.
Scott, curious but confident in his newfound strength, followed Mr. Lin Yu. They got into a vehicle and drove to an abandoned building. Stepping out of the car, Scott was surprised to see the place, but Mr. Lin Yu assured him. "Let's go inside."
Inside, men and women were celebrating, dressed in elaborate robes. Scott quickly realized this was not just any gathering. Mr. Lin Yu wanted to introduce him to the family. As soon as they sensed Mr. Lin Yu's presence, everyone gathered around an altar and formed a circle.
Mr. Lin Yu walked straight to the altar, and they all bowed their heads, chanting, "GREAT GREAT GREAT."
"Raise your heads," Mr. Lin Yu commanded. "We are all gathered here today to welcome a new member among us."
The crowd rejoiced, chanting "GREAT GREAT GREAT" even louder. Mr. Lin Yu calmed them down. "I bring before you Scott."
Scott was initially frightened, but he gathered his courage and approached the altar. Mr. Lin Yu smiled at him. "Scott, you are welcome to be a part of this great family. Here, you are protected. Are you ready to join us?"
Scott answered firmly, "Yes."
Everyone cheered. Mr. Lin Yu instructed him to kneel, then took a sharp dagger and a cup, drawing blood from Scott's hand and mixing it with the blood of others.
He handed the cup to Scott. "Repeat after me: 'I have come here to be part of this family, to protect and to love, and never to betray, for the rest of my life.'"
Scott repeated the vow and drank from the cup. The crowd erupted in celebration.
As Scott drank the blood, a profound sense of belonging and loyalty enveloped him. He was now an integral part of a mysterious entity - a family bound together by secrets, rituals, and an unspoken code.
Mr. Lin Yu's smile was filled with satisfaction. "You are now one of us, Scott. Together, we shall achieve greatness."
Eagle, the ex-soldier who had trained Scott, approached him with a warm smile. "Welcome to the family, Scott. You have been chosen for a noble purpose, one that will test your limits and push you to excel."
Scott felt a surge of pride, purpose, and trepidation. What did it mean to be part of this enigmatic family? What secrets lay hidden beneath the surface, waiting to be uncovered?
Over the next few weeks, Scott was initiated into the inner workings of the organization. Together, they worked on complex, high-stakes projects, each one more intriguing and challenging than the last.
Scott began to realize that Mr. Lin Yu's organization was more than just a cult - it was a sophisticated network of powerful individuals working towards a common goal, a goal that remained shrouded in mystery.
But what was that goal? Scott couldn't shake the feeling that he was just a pawn in a much larger, more complex game.
As he delved deeper into the organization, Scott encountered whispers of a mysterious figure known only as "The Boss." Some said The Boss was a powerful leader, guiding the organization from the shadows.
Others claimed it was a myth, a legend created to inspire fear, loyalty, and devotion.
Scott's curiosity was piqued. Who was The Boss, and what did they want from him? He knew he had to uncover the truth, but it seemed elusive, hidden behind layers of secrets, lies, and deception.
