1 PROLOGUE

SÃO PAULO, THURSDAY, MARCH 25

IT WAS SIX HOURS IN THE MORNING when Professor of History at the University of São Paulo (USP), Carlos Cardeñas, received a message on his cell phone that was somewhat strange and unexpected:

I need you to meet me at the Catedral da Sé at 2:00 pm, you are in danger.

Ass. DeMolay

THE TEACHER ARRIVED AT PRAÇA da Sé at 1:45 pm and for a moment before entering he looked and was happy with the result, since the renovation of that imposing architectural work at the beginning of the last decade that he did not go there and he walked and admired all the neo-Gothic architecture of the place feeling at home, after all, that place was symbolically as Masonic and mystical as the store in which he was the Grand Master.

Carlos Cardeñas was in the left corner of the Cathedral crypt, he was looking at a work when a voice came from behind him.

–– Beautiful work of art, don't you think?

That voice...

Carlos Cardeñas looked back, almost had a heart attack when he saw who it was.

All the ghosts and demons of your past have returned to haunt you...

–– You?

The killer realized that the professor would try to escape, he gave him a stab in the belly and moved his dagger, giving him more pleasure in the same proportions that caused his victim more pain.

The old professor instantly spit blood at him, which made the killer smile with satisfaction.

Himmler looked around and saw no one looking and put the old man in agony seated against the statue.

–– I hope your passage to hell is comfortable – he whispered in his left ear.

The killer put a gold coin in Professor Cardeñas' mouth and hurriedly left.

Carlos Cardeñas realized that his life span was at an end, and his last efforts could not be in vain.

My time here is over, it's time to pass on the legacy to him...

And with his own blood that was spilled on the floor – from his wound in the belly – he drew a dagger on the floor, a swastika, wrote a name and a numerical sequence:

Willian de Rillencourt

1.6 2x 18

I'm sure they'll find out...

Cardeñas thought confidently as he gave a simple smile of joy and at the same time dreamer.

They have to remember that...
