Chapter 76 Chapter 18 Family History

Xiaoguang didn't care about our reaction, he looked familiar with it, and it was quite symmetrical with Fan Li's character of not saying anything.I just wanted to refute this absurd theory, but Albert yelled: "You are talking nonsense, Hawke was not expelled, he quit voluntarily!" "Little friend, first list the names of people who voluntarily quit Skull and Bones in history, and then debate." Xiaoguang was not angry with Albert's actions, but kept smiling. After Albert heard this, he immediately fell silent. We were confused and wanted to ask what they were arguing about, but the scene was a bit tense, so we stopped talking.At this time, Fan Li opened his mouth extremely abnormally. He said that the English name of the Condor Club is The Hawk and The Eulogian Club. Hawk is a person’s name, which is the Hawk in Albert’s mouth. Eulogian is the name of a goddess, which is transliterated as Eulogia. It is a goddess in charge of eloquence in Greek mythology. Skull and Bones also worships this goddess, and even in other places. The name of the goddess to call Skull and Bones.

In 1876, when Hawke was guarding the headquarters of the Skull and Bones Society on duty, he was intruded by outsiders due to negligence, so he was expelled.That was the only time that the Skull and Bones headquarters was invaded by outsiders, but the information was not written in detail, and no one knew the cause and effect.Later, that Hawk left angrily, escaped several assassinations, and founded a Condor Society. (Actually, this translation is wrong, but it can't be called the Eagle and Goddess Eulogia...) This society is even more mysterious than the Skull and Bones Society. It only appeared twice in history. One time, Andrew, a member of the Skull and Bones Society, a banker and member of Parliament, was killed in 1878. He wrote the English name of the Condor Society with his blood. The second time was when the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan, and the name of The Hawk and The Eulogian Club was written in a document left behind.These are the only two real records that have appeared in history. The first on-site photo has been preserved in the American archives, and the second is preserved in a certain institution in China. As for the institution, I will not elaborate here.

It was rare for Fan Li to open his mouth, and Xu Shaode and I didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that he would return to his original appearance.To the disappointment, Albert interrupted Fan Li, and he asked, "How do you know so clearly?" "He was at the scene just like me, wasn't he?" Every time Xiaoguang mentioned something strange, she would show a weird smile. "Fan Li, you..." Xu Shaode and I were dumbfounded when we heard this, what the hell is going on, I dare say you are a thousand-year-old monster, and we all said we saw it with our own eyes.

Fan Li didn't answer directly. I noticed that he glanced at me and said, "I said so much because I hope you don't follow Hawke's path. What is your purpose for coming here?" "I..." Albert was speechless for a moment. "What are you guys doing? Why are you arguing so well? Don't bully people, okay?" I hurried to smooth things over. Albert was old man Liu's friend, and I always felt guilty about the death of old man Liu, so I helped Albert.But having said that, I'm really curious why Albert came to Jinzhu Canyon. If it wasn't for Old Man Liu, we would have left him long ago.

I want everyone to jump out of the burial pit, because if you keep stepping on the bones of the dead, you will be punished by God.However, at that moment, I suddenly discovered something that made my heart beat faster. Just now I have been listening to them talking about the Condor Club, and I think it is very familiar. Fan Li also said that in the documents left by the Kuomintang, there is a piece of information written The Hawk and The Eulogian Club, all this sounds very similar to Wang Shi The Condor Corps that the company commander mentioned?Could it be that the Kuomintang has something to do with this Condor, and what does the Condor want to do when it goes to the mountains and rivers of China?

Albert was silent for a while, and finally spoke. He said that Hawke was his grandfather's adoptive father. He said it in English. I don't know whether this should be called Grandpa Zeng or Adopted Master Zeng. Anyway, there is no such word as Adopted Master Zeng in Chinese.Hawke's family is huge, and gradually developed through many channels, and the descendants are full.As soon as there are more children, the farce of fighting for property will be staged. This thing happens all over the world. Hawke sent several teams to China in 1938. Albert did not specify the specific teams. He said that one of the teams that came to Guizhou was his grandfather.Before his grandfather came to China, he already had a child, Albert's father.Unexpectedly, among the teams sent out, only one team came back safely. Xu Shaode interjected to ask which team it was, but Albert didn't answer. I think maybe he avoided it because it involved the secrets of the Condor Society.He went on to say that in addition to an adopted son, Hawke had five sons. Hawke was later killed in a fire, and the family began to fight for property.

The Alberts didn't care about money so they didn't join the fight, but he said Hawke made a will in 1937.His grandfather told Albert's father that Hawke left all his property to him, but no one had read the will. He just let lawyers and relevant agencies go through the procedures, and then put the will in America. Inside the National Trust Savings Bank safe. Let me talk about the American National Trust Savings Bank. Its predecessor was the Italian Bank founded by Italian immigrants in 1904. Today, this bank is also called the American Bank of America and is the second largest bank in the United States.

Albert's grandfather never wanted to compete with other brothers, so he never mentioned this will until that day, when Albert finally came up with the idea of ​​this will.It was the winter of 1986. Albert's elderly father was hit by a truck and became a vegetable.The Albert family has long since retired from decades of property battles. He once worked as a policeman and now works for a newspaper.By 1993, technology had advanced by leaps and bounds, and the hospital suddenly told Albert that his father could become conscious from a vegetative state, but it would require expensive surgery.

Albert was so tired that he vomited blood and couldn't pay the fee. He thought of the secret passed down by his grandfather, the huge family property that should have belonged to them. If he had that family property, his father could become sober.His grandfather said that the will is kept in the bank, but the bank's safe has a combination and two keys.One key is in the law firm, the other key is in the hands of his grandfather, and only his grandfather knows that set of passwords. Bank of America used safes produced by S&G at the beginning of the 20th century. S&G stands for Sargent & Greenleaf. It was established in the United States in 1857 and has since become one of the world's most famous manufacturers of locks and safes.At that time, the Europeans used the Swiss watch technology to develop the turntable combination lock, and the safe technology had a breakthrough development, and the confidentiality and security were greatly improved.

Although it was a safe nearly a hundred years ago, without those two keys and that set of codes, it is still impossible to open the box, and that box is still in California. Albert said that his father said that his grandfather always carried the key with him, and the code was written on something.Unexpectedly, his grandfather came to China and never went back.In order to save his father, Albert traveled across the ocean and came to China, looking for another key and that set of codes. "So filial!" Xu Shaode said ashamed of himself, "Then let's find it for you, how much benefit do you plan to give us?"

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it when we find it. In that case, you take your key and password, and don't touch the others. They are our Chinese things." I declared repeatedly, lest this kid would betray when he saw the treasure. "No, the Chinese are kind to me, and Uncle Liu is my benefactor." Albert's eyes turned red when he said this. "How did you know each other……" Before I finished asking, I found out that Fan Li jumped out of the burial pit at some point and walked towards the bamboo forest alone.This kid is always individualistic and really has no sense of collective honor.I thought, now is not a good time to get to the bottom of it, so I didn't continue to ask. Anyway, I know Albert's purpose, and I feel at ease.They deliberately didn't tell the secret of the Condor Society, so it wouldn't be interesting for me to ask any further.Anyway, whether this will happen or not, and it doesn't infringe my interests, let them make their own mysteries.However, I am still a bit puzzled, wondering if the Condor Corps has anything to do with the Condor, and how did the Condor come to China and enter these uninhabited lands? We left the burial pit one after another and followed Fan Li to the depths of the bamboo forest. Now that the rhinoceros is dead or injured, there is no threat to us for the time being, so we are not as embarrassed as before.However, you still have to be careful, so as not to run into the mechanism again. "Brother Wanzang, what time is your watch, why don't you leave mine?" Xu Shaode asked behind him. I raised my injured left hand, looked at it, and found that the watch had stopped moving.Damn it, it really is a fake, and it cost us a hundred dollars.Since we received the 20,000 yuan we were discharged from the army, Xu Shaode and I went to the store to buy two watches, which were branded goods.The girl in the store also boasted how real the watch was, but she didn't know that it hadn't arrived in half a month, so she stopped cooking immediately.I was about to yell, but Xu Shaode yelled into the depths of the bamboo forest. I thought Fan Li had encountered something dangerous in front of me. Who knew that when I looked up, my god, this couldn’t be Monkey King’s sea-fixing needle, right? ! ?
