Chapter 129 - Newest Member of the Society

There are a lot of questions that are running into Jacob's mind. Like who is now the current President of the Robin Hood Society? Since President Alexander died five years ago, everyone assumed that it is his granddaughter, the heiress, that will take over as the President. But obviously it is not her. Does his father know who is now the President of the society? And what does he have to do with them? Did their family just become the newest member of the Society? Or does his father know about J's identity?

After two hours they arrived in front of a tall gate with no guards. Behind the closed gate is a road that leads to the top of the hill. They cannot see any sign of a house or living person around. Just large trees and chirping birds. After a couple of minutes, the gate opened up automatically. Jacob concluded that the gate is computer operated and someone is watching them from somewhere.

His SUV drive past the gate then the gate closed on itself. They drive up the hill silently while Jacob is observing the surroundings. Chairman John told them that they don't have to bring guards with them as if Jacob would bring one. James is enough company already.

Soon they were in front of a three-story log house and based on its structure, Jacob guessed that it also has a basement. In front of the log, house is a terrace leading to the main door where a rugged, edgy, masculine man in his mid-30's standing and seems like he's been waiting for them. Jacob studied the man first before he gets down his car. The man is about 5'9' in height, his hair is short and messy, with a short beard and mustache. Thou rugged, he is still well-groomed, that for a moment made Jacob think is the President of the Robin Hood Society. He wears faded denim jeans, a black shirt under a black jacket.

Jacob guessed that it was probably the right-hand man of the President of the society, of course, the President should be waiting inside for them. He wouldn't expose himself just yet.

"Chairman Jacob Parker..." Jacob noticed that he was addressed as the Chairman of the Twelve Army and not as the President of CLP Group of Hospital. "I'm Peter. This way, please. The President is waiting for you." his guess was right.

Jacob followed the guy named Peter and behind him is James. Peter continued walking until they were at the backyard of the log house. At the backyard where a guest house, swimming pool, and Jacob saw the basement which turned out to be a basement garage. The road did not end in front of the log house, because Jacob noticed that it continued around the hill.

Not far away from the log house is an oak tree near a cliff overlooking Lotus City. He saw a man and a woman, probably around the late '50s to early 60's sitting in an outdoor sofa looking at the view from their spot. Peter gestured James to stay then he leads Jacob to the oak tree.

Peter said something to the man then they looked at him.

"Chairman Jacob Parker. Please have a seat." President Martin said with a broad smile.
