409: Chapter 408: No One Can Save Him 409: Chapter 408: No One Can Save Him “Old Master, I’m here.” A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a slightly bald head, arrived at the skill patriarch’s ho.
He was dressed in an ordinary down jacket and wore a cap, looking no different from an average Joe.
However, his true identity was that of the leader of a special operations group, a position of very high rank.
He was Jace Berger, a protege of the skill family, planted by them in the world of officialdom.
“Old Master, please accept my condolences,” Jace Berger said soberly, without waiting for the skill patriarch to speak.
As the leader of the special operations group, he had received the news of Lian skill’s death as soon as it had happened.
“Then, tell , who is Yusuf Zuck?” the skill patriarch asked with a piercing gaze.
“Yes,” Jace Berger imdiately snapped to attention and replied, “Yusuf Zuck, originally from Shandong Yanggu, possesses the ability to control objects with telekinesis and has sohow obtained an extrely sharp Short Sword.
Now, he is capable of using the Flying Sword technique to kill.
One of our team leaders previously attempted to recruit him; he’s an external mber of our group.
But rest assured, Old Master, his contract has just been terminated.”
“Moreover, this man is very dangerous.
Our operations group might not have enough manpower; several are not in the capital as they are out on assignnts.”
“I’m aware of that.
Even Mortir Lopez was killed by him; quite formidable indeed!” The skill patriarch let out a cold laugh.
“Since ancient tis, heroes have broken the law with their martial prowess; once free from shackles and endowed with strength, they try to test the law with their bodies.
Although such a person may be extraordinary, he has already beco uncontrollable.
You go and make arrangents, start with the normal legal procedures.
We, the skills, must not act like him and break the law.
My family has been based in Huaxia, and we are law-abiding citizens!”
“Yes.” After answering, Jace Berger hurriedly left, understanding the patriarch’s intent.
They were to test the waters with normal legal ans first to see if Yusuf Zuck would dare to resist.
If he did resist, he would not just be hostile to the skill family, one of the four major clans, but to the nation itself.
Thus, the patriarch’s strategy was shrewd, avoiding difficulties for related parties while distancing the family from the situation.
After Jace Berger left, the skill patriarch nodded to the butler and said, “Inform them to prepare.
We’ll see how the situation develops.
If there is no resistance, let Jace Berger turn it into an ironclad case.
If there is resistance, seize the opportunity to execute him!”
“Yes.” The butler promptly acknowledged.
The skill family’s true strengths were not as simple as they seed on the surface.
The presence of a Truth-Seeking Expert among Lian skill’s retinue alone signified that the skill family had its own team of experts.
How could one of the old, reputable four major clans lack protectors for the family?
The skill patriarch had set a trap, ready for Yusuf Zuck to fall into it, but no matter how he jumped, the outco would be death.
The skill family was known for protecting their own.
With a grandson killed, how could the skill family not seek revenge?
…
anwhile, Russ Trujillo, who was at ho asleep, received a phone call from Devin King, the deputy leader of the Dragon Group.
“Let Yusuf Zuck run.
This ti, no one can save him,” Devin King sighed.
He had implored Russ Trujillo to warn Yusuf Zuck not to be rash, but Yusuf Zuck had still gone ahead and killed Lian skill.
Thus, nobody could protect him now.
“What?
He…
he killed Lian skill?” Russ Trujillo instantly leapt from his bed.
“What did you think?
If he doesn’t run now, it will be too late.
But what a pity,” Devin King let out a sigh before hanging up the phone.
Felicity O’Brien also sat up in bed, having heard the deputy leader’s words.
“This is bad, really bad.
Our brother-in-law, why can’t he keep his cool?
The skills…
damn, that little monster from the skill family will probably take action himself, right?
Quick, give the phone.” Russ Trujillo, knowing many insider secrets, was aware that the skill family was full of experts.
There were skill family mbers even within the Dragon Group, and as one of the four major clans with a long heritage, they had many more retainers and worshippers.
Slaying Lian skill was like poking a hornet’s nest; each hornet could sting Yusuf Zuck to death with a single prick.
Once Yusuf Zuck’s phone call went through and he picked up, Russ Trujillo imdiately said, “Brother-in-law, run.
Run as far as you can.
Don’t contact anyone, and don’t turn on your phone again.
Louise Garrett and your family here have and Felicity; we’ll ensure their safety.
They won’t be in any danger as long as you’re gone.
No one will target them if you run!”
“Run?
Run from what?
I don’t understand what you’re saying,” Yusuf Zuck pretended to be confused.
“Lian skill is dead, and it wasn’t you who did it?
What are you pretending to be confused about?” Russ Trujillo exclaid loudly.
“Evidence, you need evidence, right?
You can’t just pin soone’s death on like that!” Yusuf Zuck replied, utterly baffled.
“If they want evidence, they can fabricate a ton of it, and they don’t even need any evidence.
Brother-in-law, do you know?
As far as I’m aware, there are at least four Truth-Seeking Experts in the skill family, not to ntion a little skill monster, whom hardly anyone among his peers can match.
I admit you’re pretty tough, but rember, there always stronger people out there, and you’re not the strongest,” he said.
“If you’re not going to run, then just wait for death,” Russ urged him urgently.
“‘Only four or more?'” Yusuf Zuck suddenly burst into laughter.
“In my mory, it seems I’ve already killed four Truth-Insight practitioners.
Do you think I could take another four?”
“That’s not what I an,” Russ said with a mix of laughter and tears: “The ones you killed were all trash, not even as good as .
You might not understand the situation.
Although the skill family isn’t in the officialdom, the higher-ups all pay respects to the skills.
The skill family is a colossal entity; it’s a true heritage clan, not just a simple inner-boxing style.
For all we know, there might be Fasting practitioners in their clan.”
“The skill family is mysterious, powerful, and rich, and they’ve nurtured many influential figures who hold sway in various places.
Let put it this way, in the capital, in the military, in the provinces, there are people brought up by their clan, it’s a Dante Stewart clan!”
“Brother-in-law…” At this mont, Felicity O’Brien suddenly snatched the phone away: “Although I’m not very fond of you, you really shouldn’t be arrogant.
Listen to what Russ says and run, hide yourself!”
“I got it, I have a friend’s wedding tomorrow, we’ll talk after the wedding,” Yusuf Zuck ended the call directly.
Russ Trujillo and Felicity O’Brien were a bit dumbfounded, was Yusuf Zuck such a fool that he still wanted to attend a wedding?
Didn’t he know the aning of the word ‘dead’?
“What should we do?” Felicity pushed Russ slightly and asked.
“What can we do?
Your brother-in-law is more stubborn than a mule; it’s over,” Russ said with a bitter face.
“How about this…
you try contacting your great-grandfather?
Maybe he can help!” Felicity suggested.
“My Uncle Neal isn’t even picking up his phone, but I’ll try, I’ll try,” Russ said as he imdiately began searching for his Uncle Neal Trujillo’s number, his uncle who was always by the great-grandfather’s side.
As luck would have it, the call connected.
“It’s connected, it’s connected,” Russ said with excitent.
“Is that Russ?
What is it?” After the phone rang thrice, Neal Trujillo picked up the call.
“Uncle Neal, it’s Russ.
Are you with the great-grandfather?
Can you let him take the phone?” Russ asked quietly.
“We’re together; what does the great-grandfather need?” Neal Trujillo asked in return.
“It’s about Yusuf Zuck, he’s offended the skill family…” Russ imdiately recounted the incident of Yusuf Zuck killing Lian skill.
“The great-grandfather knows, but we’re out of town.
He said not to worry about him; this is his ordeal.
If he can overco it, that’s his fate; if not, that too is his fate.
All things are predestined, so you shouldn’t get involved either!”
“Uh…
so the great-grandfather doesn’t care if he lives or dies?” Russ said with a wry smile.
“I’ve said it already, this is his fate.
Whether he can overco it, that’s up to him.
The great-grandfather won’t intervene in these matters.
That’s it then,” Neal Trujillo said, and then the call ended.
“It’s all over, no one in heaven or on earth can save your flirtatious brother-in-law now,” Russ sighed deeply.
