As the Professor inhaled the smoke from his cigar he looked calmly at each of the initiates.

He had an innate desire to tell them that they were all fools, but he knew he would instead inject a desire for power and fame in them.

He would promise that they would become influential in some sphere of society.
他會許諾 他們將成為社會上某個 領域有影響的人。
Their initiation would not be easy, of course, but once in, they would be able to withstand any pressure,

any injunction, and any accusation of impropriety. They were the best of the new influx of students,

but it had been through the initiative of the organization that they had been selected. Every word was a load of crap.

The Professor knew that each student had a large inheritance that the organization wished to get hold of.

no matter what ingredients were required. The smartest student -s actually wanted nothing to do with the organization.

Some had an initial curiosity, but they soon saw

Thought the Professor as he stopped his inhalation of the Cuban cigar to continue with the ceremony.
