Chapter 576 The Duke of Leinster
At nine o'clock in the morning, the car in which Frederick, Duke of Leinster was riding, stopped outside the gate of White Club.
The attendant hurriedly ran over and helped open the car door.
Even though the doors of the Rolls-Royce are very wide, the Duke of Leinster had to lower his head when he got out of the car——
Completely different from his sickly and thin son, Jim Leinster, who stood beside the attendant like a black bear in an oversized suit.
There was no smile on the Duke of Leinster's face.
His son's whereabouts are still unknown.
Also disappearing was the emblem of the Freemasonry.
He came to the White Club today to recover the badge and inquire about the whereabouts of his youngest son.
——Jim has a brother, Louis, who is fifteen years older than him.
Brother Louis inherited all the advantages of the Duke of Leinster. He was tall, wise, tough and full of energy.
The future hopes of the Leinster family rest on their eldest son, Louis.
Jim, on the other hand, has been weak since he was a child, with slow reaction times, not to mention his intelligence level - the Leinster family initially kept Jim as a pet.
However, Louis died in an accident due to drunk driving.
As a result, the family poured all their love and hope into Jim.
Although Jim is not satisfactory, he also has many advantages - the Duke and Duchess of Leinster comfort themselves.
Perhaps mental paralysis played a role, and the Duke of Leinster accepted his younger son.
As Jim grew older, the Duke of Leinster slowly delegated his power, letting Jim get in touch with important people and affairs, giving him as much experience as possible, and telling Jim how the world works.
Finally, he told Jim about the Freemasons.
Jim was very interested and urged his father to show him what the badge looked like.
The Duke of Leinster was relieved.
Jim was very weak and it was completely impossible to snatch the badge from his hands - so he boldly showed the badge to his son.
One afternoon not long after, someone sent an unusually exquisite invitation to the Duke of Leinster.
However, the Duke of Leinster only looked at the seal and put it aside.
This piqued Jim's curiosity.
An invitation that can be sent to the Duke's study at Leinster Mansion proves that the other party has good strength and status.
He pointed to the invitation and asked, "Father, who sent this invitation?"
"Oh, this is an invitation to the Golden Island Auction." The Duke of Leinster spoke concisely.
"Golden Island? Where is it? What is the theme of the auction?"
The son looked at him with burning eyes, so he explained: "Golden Island is near Country Y, and an auction is held every year. The auction is supported by the United Economic Association, so the theme of the auction is different from that of ordinary auctions. There are some differences, many auction items are contraband..."
When Jim heard that there were activities on Golden Island to satisfy the curiosity of the nobles, his eyes lit up.
"Why don't you go?"
The Duke of Leinster said: "Because the time conflicts with the birthday party of Prince Morse."
"Father, can I go instead of you?" Jim asked solemnly.
"You?" The Duke of Leinster sounded a little unhappy.
The guys on Golden Island were having too much fun.
His son is not strong-willed and doesn't know how to look at people...
The Duke of Leinster always avoids his son attending such important occasions alone, in case he says something inappropriate and offends someone who shouldn't be offended...
But Jim was too interested.
"I promise you, I will never get into trouble! You can find some reliable followers to follow me!"
Jim longed for adventure.
Especially when the father is not around.
The Duke of Leinster refused at first.
Later, when Jim couldn't stand it anymore, he invited reinforcements - his mother, the Duchess, to help convince his father.
The Duchess said: "Your Majesty, you can't always let him live under your protection, can you? He is becoming more and more like you when you were young. Think about it, when you were as old as him, you already had He has become a powerful figure - how can the eagle become the overlord of the sky? He must be allowed to fly alone and experience alone. "
"But what if he says the wrong thing or does the wrong thing?" The Duke was worried.
Those followers must not dare to disobey the little master's orders.
The Duchess said arrogantly: "It's a mistake if it's wrong. No matter how wrong it is, he is also the son of the Duke. Who dares to point fingers at him?"
The Duke was shaken.
The Duchess saw her husband's relaxed expression and continued to encourage: "Besides, Golden Island Auction, I'm afraid there are few residences of heads of state in the world that are safer than there, right?"
The Duke recalled the defense of Golden Island and thought, yes.
So, he let his son go.
He gave his son an invitation and membership certificate.
But he did not give his son a Masonic badge.
After repeatedly being reminded of the precautions, Jim embarked on a journey to the Golden Island with no return——
It wasn't until Jim left home for a full twelve hours that the Duke of Leinster discovered that his son had been bold enough to sneak away the Freemason badge!
