Chapter 1064: Chapter 1063: Not Counted as Murder

Yusuf Zuck had to admit that Fatty, his wife, was quite good. No matter what her true motives were for trying to please him, at least she was always responsive to his requests.

When ’Uncle Sheng’ came over again, even ’Uncle Shui’ arrived, and they brought along a shopkeeper and some assistants.

Uncle Shui was originally handling funeral affairs at home, but at the young lady’s order, he had no choice but to prioritize serving the son-in-law first.

This street was called ’Riding Dragon Avenue’, and after Uncle Shui arrived, he said in a low voice, "Son-in-law, the young lady said that Riding Dragon Avenue is a well-chosen location, symbolizing that you will ride the dragon to success. Therefore, the young lady instructed me to tell you that you can choose any storefront you like, whether occupied or not, and we will immediately handle it for you!"

"Let’s take this one, the vacant one here. I have no interest in stealing someone else’s business!" Yusuf Zuck was standing in the middle of the street, and directly opposite him was a storefront with a ’For Rent’ sign.

The storefront wasn’t big, probably once used to sell rouge and powder, so it was quite a small space.

"All right, open the doors, immediately clean up the shop, and attend to whatever commands the son-in-law has. We will draw from the account for all expenses!" At Uncle Shui’s command, a dozen workers rushed into the shop.

Yusuf Zuck followed them inside, and as expected, it wasn’t very large—a mere three or four meters across and rectangular. Walking to the back, there was a door leading to a small courtyard.

The courtyard was also small, with just a covered walkway and a bedroom. On both sides were high walls, clearly the living spaces of other houses.

"This will do, a good spot. I want a new bed, new quilts, and new pieces of furniture. Also, make a signboard for me; call it ’Elegant Pavilion!’"

"Yes..." Uncle Shui didn’t even ask what the new son-in-law intended to do. Although he felt the young lady was behaving unusually, she was now in charge of the house.

Of course, now that the six secondary wives had established contact with their clans, it was likely they would stage a coup before or on the day of the funeral.

So while the house seemed calm on the surface, undercurrents were raging within. The various powers didn’t take the new son-in-law too seriously, either.

The Shepherd family was also a formidable force in Tianyuan City, so the shop arrangements were carried out with incredible speed. By noon, the sign for Elegant Pavilion had already been hung, though without red drapery or anything of the sort, since Old Master Shepherd had just died and red, an auspicious color, couldn’t be displayed.

Uncle Shui took his leave with the others, but Uncle Sheng stayed behind. However, Yusuf Zuck noticed that Uncle Sheng seemed deflated, with a poor complexion and constantly lost in thought.

"What’s wrong with you? You don’t like being here with me? Then you can return to the mansion. I don’t need you here!" Yusuf Zuck was sitting in the shop drinking tea, also considering what to do next.

"It’s not that, old servant is just worried about the family." Uncle Sheng’s face looked troubled as he said, "The old master’s uncles, cousins, and aunts have all returned to the mansion. I’ve heard that the shopkeepers from various estates have also been bribed by the secondary wives. The house is truly in chaos. With the young lady on her own, I fear she may not be able to hold up."

"Your young lady has relatives? So it’s a clan-based enterprise," Yusuf Zuck said with a sigh. With Old Master Shepherd gone, and before his eyes were even closed, all sorts of demons and monsters had emerged. Whether Fatty could manage them was unknown.

"The young lady has two granduncles and dozens of cousins and siblings—a hundred or so in total. Some have set up separate households, but many still have ties to the family. Some of the businesses are even managed by the young lady’s cousins."

"Although the old master left a will, it’s uncertain if they will heed the young lady’s commands. So when that time comes, such a large family might indeed fall apart," Uncle Sheng sighed heavily.

"What is your young lady doing now?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.

"When I went back earlier, the young lady was still... still eating," Uncle Sheng said with an unpleasant expression.

"That’s how fat people are; always thinking about food, incessantly eating." Yusuf Zuck nodded in understanding. There was no helping it; fat people love to eat, and to deny them would be futile.

"Then your young lady didn’t say anything else?"

"The young lady’s orders are to wait until after the funeral to discuss further actions and to ensure I take good care of you. She also mentioned adding more responsibilities to your plate."

"Hehe, hehe." Yusuf Zuck just laughed. Add a burden? What’s the play? She didn’t know his background or his character. How could she possibly trust him?

"Oh, is this the new shop our new son-in-law has set up? Elegant Pavilion? I never expected our new son-in-law to be a man of elegance!" Just as Yusuf Zuck and Mr. Sheng were chatting inside, a strange voice suddenly came from outside the shop.

"It’s Wade Shepherd, one of the lord’s paternal nephews, very clever. He grew up in the mansion as a child. Even the lord once thought of adopting him, but it never came to pass. However, this person is the worst; he’s good for nothing in the city, up to all sorts of evil, often doing bad things under the banner of the Great Emperor." Mr. Sheng immediately lowered his voice.

Yusuf Zuck frowned slightly. He didn’t want any contact with the Shepherd family, so why had Wade Shepherd come looking for him?

When he and Mr. Sheng looked outside, a group of young men and women came in, laughing and joking.

They were all young, dressed in fancy clothes; they were unmistakably rich or noble.

"Wow, the new son-in-law looks quite the talent. He really is a Profound Immortal Second Grade!" The man leading the group glanced at Yusuf Zuck and exaggerated his expression, speaking particularly loudly!

"But damn, he’s got quite a heavy taste, hahaha!~"

"Hahaha..." The group of men and women behind him also burst into loud laughter, mocking.

Yusuf Zuck eyed these Cooke Family youths with a sinister look.

"Hey, brother-in-law, when you share a room at night, can you even find the slit? Our little sister is plump, so she’s got more rolls down there..."

"Hahaha..." The crowd roared with laughter again.

Mr. Sheng was so angry that his face turned blue. Yusuf Zuck, however, tilted his head and said, "Do you have something to say?"

"Brother-in-law, you don’t look so good. Have you been overindulging? Take it easy, don’t wear yourself out, hahaha..." These people simply ignored him and kept up a constant stream of mockery.

Yusuf Zuck realized that among these people, the highest Cultivation Level was merely Ultimate Immortal Ninth Grade, not a single Profound Immortal. But, perhaps because they felt their status was so exalted, they dared to mock him, a Profound Immortal Second Grade?

"Mr. Sheng, is murder punished in the city?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly asked with a wicked smile.

"Uh..." Hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, the laughing men and women instantly fell silent, while Mr. Sheng nodded and said, "You must not kill without reason in the city, unless it’s a villainous scoundrel who is utterly reprehensible, someone everyone is entitled to execute!"

"Oh." Yusuf Zuck shrugged. "That’s a pity, but while the capital punishment can be avoided, living punishment cannot escape!" Yusuf Zuck suddenly stepped forward. As those Cooke Family youths looked on in astonishment, he pushed a palm onto Wade Shepherd’s chest.

"Bang~" Without any surprise, Wade Shepherd couldn’t withstand such a blow. His body instantly burst open.

Mr. Sheng was startled, and the rest of the people screamed in terror. Was this really their new son-in-law? Daring to kill someone on the street? To kill a member of their Shepherd Clan? What kind of bold creature was this?

Yusuf Zuck did not stop there. Even though Wade Shepherd’s body had burst, he was not dead, as Yusuf Zuck had grabbed his Nascent Soul at the first opportunity.

After that, Yusuf Zuck moved swiftly, and with each palm strike, male or female, their physical bodies burst, and then a bevy of fresh, pale Nascent Souls were seized in his hand, unable to move!

"Today, on the opening of the Elegant Pavilion, we have indeed seen red. Mr. Sheng, go back to the mansion and call the servants over to tidy up the place! Also, since these people’s Nascent Souls are still here, they’re not dead, right? It’s not considered murder, is it?"
