This is a restaurant located on the campus of Yale University with an elegant and very quiet environment.
Fifteen minutes ago, the place was packed with teachers and students from Yale University having lunch. It was very lively and filled with laughter and joy.
After Xiao Ran and the others entered the restaurant, many Yale teachers and students dining here looked at them curiously.
Many of them were very enthusiastic, waving and saying hello, or curiously asking questions about the treasures.
Then, Brady suddenly stood up and asked everyone else to leave the restaurant and go to other restaurants to eat.
The reason he gave was simple, that is, Christopher and Xiao Ran had something to talk about, needed a quiet environment, and needed to keep it confidential.
The Yale teachers and students who actively cooperated and left here will pay for all their purchases in other restaurants today.
Many Yale teachers and students at the scene were also very cooperative and stood up and left the restaurant.
However, these guys did not stay away from the restaurant, but gathered outside the restaurant to watch the excitement, all of them curious!
Seeing this scene, Xiao Ran and David were secretly stunned.
From this small incident alone, they could clearly see how amazing the influence of Skull and Bones is on the campus of Yale University!
You know, this is Yale University. Which student is not a proud student?
Among these Yale students, there may be future super-rich people, members of Congress, top scientists, and even the president of the United States, etc.
But such a group of proud men were so obedient when facing the Skull and Bones Society. It was simply unbelievable!
After inviting all the other people out, only Xiao Ran, Professor Baker and others were left in the restaurant, as well as a few guys from the Skull and Bones Society.
After the restaurant waiter cleared the tables, everyone immediately sat down at several tables and each ordered some lunch.
While waiting for the food to be served, Christopher personally came forward and invited Xiao Ran to sit down at a table deep in the restaurant, ready to talk business.
In order to keep it secret, he was the only one sitting across from Xiao Ran and David, and the other guys from the Skull and Bones Society were eight feet away.
Elaine and the others were the same, sitting at several dining tables near the window, looking here curiously.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Xiao Ran asked curiously:
"Christopher, I wonder if you have anything to talk to me about?"
"I'm very curious that it's done in such a solemn way."
As soon as the words fell, Christopher immediately explained his purpose.
"Sean, I know you are the top professional treasure hunter today. You have discovered treasure after treasure and created many miracles."
"I heard that you came to Yale University, so we came to see you and wanted to ask you for a favor."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran pretended to be surprised and said:
"Can I help you? How can I help you?"
"As far as I know, everyone in your club comes from a wealthy family and has a strong fortune."
"Coupled with the many senior members from all walks of life in politics and business, I really can't think of anything that can stump you in the United States?"
"This is even more true at Yale. The scene that just happened in this restaurant is the best proof!"
David on the side nodded slightly, his eyes even filled with envy and jealousy.
He had always wanted to be admitted to Yale Law School, and he must have dreamed of one day joining the mysterious Skull and Bones Society and rising to great heights!
Looking at Christopher again, a look of pride immediately flashed in his eyes.
This guy does have the ability to be proud!
Regardless of his family background, status, or future prospects, he is a member of the top elite group in the United States. Can he not be proud of it?
But he adjusted his mood in a blink of an eye and continued:
"It is undeniable that our community is indeed very powerful, but some things may not be possible."
"In our community, there is a legend that has been passed down for more than a hundred years."
"It is said that there are several treasures hidden in the tomb of the society, which are closely related to our society."
"For more than a hundred years, countless senior members of the society have tried to find these treasures, but they have always found nothing."
"So I want to ask you to take action to find these treasures and let them see the light of day again!"
Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this, Christopher."
"As we all know, the crypt of your society never allows non-members to enter it."
"Since its founding in 1832, it seems that only once has the crypt of your society been invaded by outsiders."
"If I agree to help, I will definitely enter your tomb and see the situation inside the tomb."
"This is obviously a paradox. I don't want to take this risk, let alone become an enemy of your society."
Christopher nodded and continued:
"Our society does have such a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter the tomb."
"But I am the current president. In order to reveal the historical truth, I have the right to break this rule. Other members have no objection to this."
"Of course, there are conditions for this, so you need to be well prepared."
"First of all, we have to make some arrangements and put away all the things that need to be kept secret in the tomb to avoid being seen by you!"
"Secondly, when you enter the tomb to explore the treasures, I will always be with you and supervise on site."
"You can only enter with a maximum of two people, and you must promise to keep it strictly confidential and not disclose anything you see to the outside world."
Xiao Ran was unmoved and shook his head again.
"As far as I know, there should be as many as seven to eight hundred living members of your society."
"You have members in the White House, in Congress, in the Supreme Court, in the CIA, and in almost every powerful department in the United States!"
"You can use your status as president to bind members within Yale University. Do you have the same binding force on those members who hold high positions?"
"I am a businessman and I want to make money by doing business in the United States. I never want to be targeted by some powerful people!"
Christopher shook his head and said confidently:
"You don't have to worry at all, Sean, I can guarantee that no club member will target you because of this matter!"
“It’s very clear in the articles of association of our association.”
"In the United States, at any time and in any field, the president can call on members to do whatever they think they should do!"
"Even members who have graduated from Yale and are now in high positions must abide by this rule, no doubt about it!"
"As long as I am still the president of the society, all members must follow what I decide and think should be done during my tenure as president!"
Although I had already expected to hear these words and this result.
But when they actually heard Christopher say these words, Xiao Ran and David were still shocked.
Even though the president of the Skull and Bones Society is just a student at Yale University, he has amazing power!
It is no exaggeration to say that as presidents of the Skull and Bones Society, although they stay on the campus of Yale University, they can exert a huge influence on the entire United States and even the entire world.
However, the previous presidents of the Skull and Bones Society have not done anything too outrageous. They have always remained low-key and pragmatic and used their power very cautiously.
Only the Skull and Bones elite who grew up in this environment can rise to great heights after graduation, until they become the top political elite in the United States.
The 'shadow government' composed of many members of the Skull and Bones Society secretly controls the entire United States, and its influence is everywhere!
After adjusting his mood a little and pretending to think for a moment, Xiao Ran continued:
"Well, Christopher, it seems your powers are indeed amazing."
"But I still hope you can say hello to all living members and obtain their consent."
"As I said before, I don't want to be targeted by those high-ranking members of your society."
"More importantly, what benefits can I gain by taking such a risk?"
"I'm a businessman, and I won't do anything without profit. I won't do anything without profit."
Christopher did not respond immediately, but looked at Xiao Ran deeply, his eyes full of fear.
After thinking for a moment, he made the conditions.
"As long as you are willing to help, I will pay you $1 million immediately, even if you don't find anything in the end."
"If you make any discoveries and find the treasure we are looking for, I will give you an additional reward of 2 million US dollars..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ran shook his head and interrupted him.
"This exploration mission is too special and very important, but the price you offered is too low!"
"I don't like the remuneration of only 3 million US dollars. More importantly, I don't want the money from this transaction."
"You can think again, Christopher, if you can offer other chips that can impress me."
"Ah! You don't want money?"
Christopher exclaimed, dumbfounded.
He never expected that he would hear such a response.
Can you believe that a guy who was said to be obsessed with money suddenly said he was no longer interested in money?
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, but didn't say anything.
After thinking for a moment, Christopher gritted his molars and said:
"Okay, Sean, since you don't want money, then I can make you a promise."
"If you encounter any trouble in the United States in the future and you can't solve it yourself, I can use my family's power or ask senior members to come forward to help you solve the trouble."
"As long as you are in the United States, even if you kill people and set fires, we can help you deal with it! It's not just about subverting the United States!"
Xiao Ran chuckled and nodded.
"With the energy of the Addams Family and the ubiquitous influence of your association, I believe there is no trouble in the United States that you cannot handle!"
"But this is not enough. I also need a place for admission to Yale and a place for membership in your society."
"For you, this is an easy thing. It shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Before he finished speaking, Christopher shook his head firmly.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
"The admission quota at Yale is fine. I can find someone to get it, but club membership is definitely not a problem."
“If you want to join our association, you must first be an American born in the United States.”
"You also have to be from a wealthy family in the east, have Anglo-Saxon ancestry, and you have to be good enough."
"You are good enough, but you don't meet any other conditions, unless you become an American citizen and marry a woman from a wealthy eastern family!"
"In this case, when your children grow up, they will be able to enter Yale University and join our society."
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head.
"You understand wrong, Christopher. I am not raising these two conditions for myself."
"I have no interest in becoming a U.S. citizen, and more importantly, I have never thought about changing my nationality."
Having said this, he suddenly turned to look at David.
"David, if I remember correctly, your ancestors should come from the British Isles, right?"
"I just don't know if you have Anglo-Saxon ancestry or are you related to a wealthy eastern family?"
"If these conditions are met, I can give this benefit to you, to your son who is in middle school!"
"ah!"
David exclaimed and was immediately petrified!
This guy's eyes suddenly widened, and his eyeballs almost flew out!
Seeing his performance, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.
There was certainly a reason why he gave David such great benefits.
The reason is simple. He needs an absolutely loyal lawyer, and he also wants to drive a nail into the most mysterious Skull and Bones Society in the United States and the core of power in the United States!
Maybe this nail will be of great use sometime in the future!
