411: Chapter 410: Uninvited 411: Chapter 410: Uninvited “Delaney, where are you?” After hanging up with Everest Zuck, Yusuf Zuck imdiately called Anna Cooke.
The Cooke Family is a military family; they probably live right inside that restricted area.
“I’m in the procession to pick up the bride, almost at my sister Snowy’s place,” Anna Cooke laughed.
“I didn’t see you this morning.
Everyone else was there, where did you run off to?”
“There’s sothing I want to ask you,” Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.
“You know Lian skill, one of the four prominent youngsters of the capital, right?”
“Uh…
What do you want with him?” Anna Cooke was taken aback, her voice rising several notches.
“Why are you shouting, are you close with him?” Yusuf Zuck asked weirdly.
“Not close, not close, don’t know him, don’t know him!” Anna Cooke hurriedly explained, but her explanation seed to be a cover-up, quite flustered.
Yusuf Zuck felt that sothing was off.
Anna Cooke was always steady and mature; why was she suddenly flustered now?
“You’re a ss!” Yusuf Zuck laughed over the phone, as if he knew she was lying!
“Where did you hear about it, from my brother?
I’ll not let him off when I get back!” Anna Cooke said angrily.
Hearing Anna Cooke’s flustered words over the phone, Yusuf Zuck finally confird that there was indeed a connection between Anna Cooke and Lian skill!
He didn’t speak; instead, he waited for Anna Cooke to spill the beans herself.
“Aren’t you going to talk?” After waiting for a while and noticing that Yusuf Zuck was silent, she asked.
“I want to hear it from you,” Yusuf Zuck said indifferently.
“Fine, fine, it’s really nothing much,” Anna Cooke said helplessly.
“It’s just that when I was born, my family arranged a child engagent with the skill Family, to Lian skill.
But I’m not interested in him; he’s quite a bad person, and I’ve always wanted to cancel it!”
“Sheesh!” Yusuf Zuck sucked in a breath of cold air.
Damn it, he had killed Anna Cooke’s child fiancé, her betrothed, and there existed this relationship between the Cooke and skill Families.
This ss was indeed a big one!
“But why are you asking about him?
What does my relationship with him have to do with you?
Why are you suddenly so curious?” Anna Cooke finally realized sothing was wrong.
Yusuf Zuck had no connection with her.
Although she quite liked Yusuf Zuck, whenever he saw her, he seed to avoid her like the plague.
Why would he suddenly care about her relationship with Lian skill?
“I killed him,” Yusuf Zuck said bluntly.
“Ah…” Anna Cooke was instantly stunned.
“You…
you…
did you do it…
for ?” Anna Cooke was confused, her mind was crashing.
Yusuf Zuck broke out in a sweat.
Anna Cooke really could co up with so ideas!
“He’s the one who had people shoot at a few days ago.
Last night, he kidnapped mphis Blackwell and his wife, planning sothing unsavory towards my sister-in-law.
I got there, so…
I acted, maybe too forcefully, and killed him with one shot,” Yusuf Zuck told the truth without any intention of hiding it, since Anna Cooke would probably hear the news by noon anyway.
“Uh…
uh…
uh…” After several gasps of astonishnt, Anna Cooke was rendered speechless.
“Never mind, I intended to ask you where his grandfather lived, sorry about that.
I didn’t know about your relationship,” Yusuf Zuck said and hung up the phone.
The Cooke and skill Families had quite a solid relationship, so if he kept inquiring, it would be like using Anna Cooke.
After Yusuf Zuck hung up the phone, he sat in his room, pulled out a cigarette, and pondered his next move.
However, before he could finish his cigarette, Anna Cooke’s phone call ca again.
“You’ve killed my fiancé, now you owe another one,” Anna Cooke said calmly over the phone.
“How co I sense no grief from you, but rather a sense of relief?” Yusuf Zuck said oddly.
“Cut the crap, have you lost your mind?
Leave the capital right now, get as far away as you can.
Don’t call again; it’s best if you go abroad.
Do you have a business in Australia, right?
Go hide there.
The skill Family will tear you to pieces,” Anna Cooke cried, then broke down crying while speaking.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know about his relationship with you,” Yusuf Zuck apologized.
“Let’s not talk about this right now; just run, please, as far as you can.
You have a business in Australia, don’t you?
Then go hide there.
The skills will rip you to shreds,” Anna Cooke cried.
“I can’t run.
Do you think I’m the kind of person who would abandon friends and family to escape?”
“Then what do you want to do?
Why do you care where his family lives?” Anna Cooke yelled.
“Never mind, I’ll hang up,” Yusuf Zuck said and then ended the call.
On the other end of the phone, Anna Cooke cried from anger and perhaps also from anxiety.
No matter what, she liked Yusuf Zuck a million tis more than Lian skill.
After wiping her tears, she called Yusuf Zuck’s number again.
As soon as the call connected, she imdiately said, “West Town, Dingfu Street, the site of the forr Royal Palace’s back residence.
There’s a compound of four courtyards within an alleyway there.
Huh, all the houses in that alley are owned by them but rented out to the public.
If you walk inside, you’ll find a household with a large elm tree in their courtyard; the one with a pair of magpie nests is their house.
Their grandfather lives there.
If you want to die, go ahead.”
“Snap.” Anna Cooke hung up the call without waiting for Yusuf Zuck’s thanks.
However, after hanging up, she instinctively hailed a taxi and reported the address she had just shared.
After the first call with Yusuf Zuck, she had already stepped off the bridal pickup car and was standing on the side of the road making calls to Yusuf Zuck.
So now, she was leaving the bridal procession behind and heading to the skill Family Mansion.
After hanging up with Anna Cooke, Yusuf Zuck glanced at his watch.
It was not even seven in the morning, which ant he had two and a half hours to move around.
Two hours were enough for a round trip to the hotel.
However, he was puzzled.
Why did Everest Zuck say that it was the West Mountain Restricted Area, while Anna Cooke said it was the market behind the Royal Palace?
It must be that Everest Zuck was not clear on the situation.
He truly only heard about it, whereas Anna Cooke knew much more.
He opened the window, his telekinesis reaching out.
In the next second, he had appeared behind a tree at the street corner, and from there, he hailed a taxi.
“Royal Palace,” Yusuf Zuck said after getting into the car, slapping a thousand yuan on the seat, “Step on it, and if there are any fines, they’re on !”
“Got it, off we go!” The taxi driver in the capital was enthusiastic, didn’t say a word more, and sped up the throttle, rushing towards the Royal Palace.
In less than half an hour, the taxi driver stopped the car near the ancient site of the Royal Palace, which had beco a cultural heritage site and thus a scenic area.
Yusuf Zuck took a big detour and quickly found the alley ntioned by Anna Cooke.
It was an old Beijing-style alley with high walls of green bricks, emitting a unique atmosphere of everyday life as well as an old-world charm.
Yusuf Zuck walked slowly forward, sotis encountering people coming out of the various courtyards.
At the sa ti, he constantly released his telekinesis in a small radius of about fifty ters.
Because he was well aware that there were certainly master guards in this alley.
Soon, after walking for a few dozen ters, he saw a large elm tree, which, true enough, had two magpie nests in it.
Without the leaves to obscure them, the nests were quite noticeable in the winter.
The courtyard had a wall of green bricks, roughly three ters high, and the gate was an arched door painted red.
Inside was a typical quadrangle dwelling.
However, this courtyard had one hall, inside which a stove was burning, and an old man was warming himself by the fire.
When Yusuf Zuck’s gaze swept over this old man, he realized that the old man was actually a Grandmaster.
The re gatekeeper was a Grandmaster.
The strength of the skill Family was unimaginable.
The courtyard was well arranged as a dwelling with two courtyards, aning it had both a front and a back yard.
The front courtyard had both eastern and western wing rooms, while the main building acted as a passage to the rear courtyard, where the main residence was located.
The courtyard was quiet, and although there were two magpie nests in the trees, the magpies were nowhere to be seen.
The quadrangle dwelling faced south with its back to the north, and inside the innermost main building, at that mont, there were six or seven people, none of whom spoke, so smoking and so drinking tea.
The atmosphere was extrely somber.
Among the six or seven people, one was an old man wearing a black Tang-style padded jacket.
When Yusuf Zuck saw this old man, he imdiately confird that this person must be the patriarch of the skill Family, the Clan Leader of the Clan.
He stood outside the courtyard and didn’t rush in imdiately.
Instead, he cautiously continued to assess the other people.
“Got it, a supre master.” Soon, he confird the presence of a supre master, at the very least at the level of Truth-Insight, perhaps even above Spying the Truth.
Most importantly, the man was not old, around fifty years old by his looks, the only person drinking tea in the room, as no one else had tea.
After all, soone had just died.
Who was in the mood to drink tea and chat?
As Yusuf Zuck’s telekinesis quickly swept over his body, the man who was drinking tea suddenly paused, then raised his eyebrows and looked towards the courtyard.
“What’s the matter, Xiao Han?” The Clan Leader, noticing Xiao Han raise his eyebrows to look outside, asked a question.
The one nad Xiao Han furrowed his brow, “I have the feeling I’m being watched, it’s an intuition.” He stood up and went to the door, peering out into the courtyard, but saw nothing.
“What do you an?” The Clan Leader and others were puzzled.
“Can’t explain it clearly.” Xiao Han shook his head, unable to articulate the feeling, like being spied on while showering.
“Any news from that side?” The Clan Leader asked again.
The butler imdiately answered, “They have been located, went to the wedding hotel early, and checked into a room.
They can be arrested at any ti.
However, Jace Berger’s intention is to wait for the wedding to take place before acting.
After all, his relatives and friends will be there, and he will have to be considerate.”
“Hmm, let them make the decisions on that matter.
I only need the results,” the Clan Leader nodded.
As Yusuf Zuck heard this, he smiled a bit to himself, amused that they were planning to arrest him, yet here he was, right at their doorstep!
After a mont’s thought, he suddenly knocked on the grand gate of the skill Family Mansion.
He ca uninvited.
“Who is it?” The old man warming himself by the fire in the gatehouse asked as he walked out.
The main gate was large, but there was a smaller door within it, which the old man opened.
Yusuf Zuck rubbed his face, and then with a smile, nodded and said, “Sir, is this the skill Family residence?”
“Who are you?” The old man, unsure of the situation, looked Yusuf Zuck up and down.
“It’s like this,” Yusuf Zuck said, having just heard the na Jace Berger, the person responsible for his capture.
He used Berger’s na to smooth things over, “I was sent by Jace Berger, he has a ssage for the Clan Leader.
He said it wasn’t convenient to talk over the phone.”
“You’re from Chief Berger’s team?
Then co in with ,” The old man didn’t suspect a thing and led Yusuf Zuck into the deep and vast courtyard.
Less than half a minute later, the old man signaled to Yusuf Zuck to wait outside while he went into the main building to notify them.
