Chapter 305: Chapter 305: See You Tomorrow

On the night of December thirty-first at eight fifteen, Yusuf Zuck drove his pickup truck to the outside of the New Century Hotel and once again met Anais Dillon and Isaac Quintana, who had both been holding their positions here for a day.

"No one who went in has come out since, and no one came by in the afternoon either," Anais Dillon said, sitting in Yusuf Zuck’s vehicle and looking at him oddly, "What kind of game are you and that Lucy Clayton playing, Mr. Zuck?"

"No game, well, you both have worked hard today, you can go back now. Wait for my call in the next few days, find some time to come out for a drink and meal," replied Yusuf Zuck.

"Alright then, we’ll really be going, it’s too cold outside after dark." Anais Dillon and Isaac Quintana did not ask further. What Yusuf Zuck was up to was none of their business, so they headed home as he asked them to leave.

After they got into the car, Yusuf Zuck drove slowly forward. When he reached the gate of the mansion, the electric barrier automatically lifted, and two young people wearing cotton coats ran out from the guardhouse, nodding and bowing towards Yusuf Zuck’s vehicle.

Yusuf Zuck directly drove the car to the front of the main building.

However, he did not immediately get out of the car but extended his "Thought Overlay" to a forty-five-meter radius.

"Hm?" Just as his telekinesis had been released, the main building’s door was pushed open, followed by a woman in a cotton qipao stepping out from inside.

A nearly two-meter-tall mini giant still accompanied her side.

Yusuf Zuck had seen the qipao woman twice before and had a strong impression of her; the mini giant had also been seen before, obviously a strength-type bruiser.

His telekinesis continued to cover the main building, but there was no one inside, not even the staff, and the glass corridor was also empty.

No one was lying in ambush here.

Yusuf Zuck didn’t open the car door, and the qipao woman stood respectfully at his car door.

This time, she lacked the arrogance and haughtiness she had during the previous two encounters; it was very cold outside, yet she stood by the car door unmoving, not urging him to hurry.

Yusuf Zuck picked up the short sword from the passenger seat, then opened the car door and jumped out.

"Good evening, Mr. Zuck. Mrs. Clayton has injured her leg and cannot come out to meet you, so I will do the honors. My name is Ariel Higgins," said the qipao woman, finally introducing herself and revealing her name.

"Let’s go," said Yusuf Zuck, nodding his head and leading the way into the main building.

At the same time, his telekinesis kept covering a forty-five-meter radius; he had no idea what kind of setup Lucy Clayton had for tonight.

A moment later, he entered the glass corridor, and upon entering, his telekinesis then saw that inside the detached building, there were no other people, only Lucy Clayton herself, and surprisingly, he was sitting by the hot spring pool, exactly like the scene from the morning.

Yusuf Zuck did not walk fast, but his telekinesis covered all sides, not missing a spot. There were no snipers on high, no people hidden in the corners.

However, at a greater distance, about a hundred meters away, there was a restaurant. His telekinesis couldn’t reach that far, so he had no knowledge of who might be in the restaurant.

With a "creak", Yusuf Zuck pushed the door open and entered the detached building once more.

As soon as he entered the detached building, Yusuf Zuck was sharply taken aback. His telekinesis had only been alert for possible ambushes, so when he saw Lucy Clayton, he glanced quickly and didn’t look closely.

Now, at a closer glance at Lucy Clayton, he couldn’t help but be startled.

In just one day’s time, Lucy Clayton had lost a noticeable amount of weight, appearing to be drained of vigor and vitality.

Of course, this wasn’t the main reason for his shock; what truly startled him was that Lucy Clayton’s one eye was covered with a white bandage soaked in red blood.

Indeed, through his telekinesis, Yusuf Zuck saw that he had lost an eye. And precisely because he was missing an eye, he appeared especially frail.

"Brother Yusuf, you’ve arrived, please have a seat," Lucy Clayton said without rising, gesturing towards a chair by the hot spring pool.

"Ariel Higgins, go fetch the things," Lucy Clayton ordered the qipao woman who followed in.

"Yes," Ariel Higgins nodded, turned around, and quickly left.

"What are you playing at? Where’s your eye?" Yusuf Zuck asked Lucy Clayton with an odd look.

"I guess I’m blind now, haha, you’ll know soon enough, brother. Just be patient."

"You called me here so quickly, not to fight a battle of fire with me? You didn’t find any skilled fighter?" Yusuf Zuck said in surprise.

"A battle of fire?" Lucy Clayton was stunned for a moment, then also gave a bitter laugh, "Brother, don’t joke around. Even if I found a hundred, a thousand, wouldn’t they just be ants in front of you? I want to live a bit longer. Why would I fight you?"

"Then why did you call me here?" Yusuf Zuck asked in return.

"Just wait, they’ll be here soon."

Indeed, they arrived, the woman in cheongsam leading six or seven people, each holding a large serving tray—the kind used for delivering dishes—and on the trays were six human heads.

Ariel Higgins walked at the very front, her tray holding an eyeball.

Yusuf Zuck was somewhat dumbfounded, unsure of what was happening.

The line of seven, entering the detached house in single file and lining up in a row, presented six heads, male and female. The eyeballs, of course, had to be Lucy Clayton’s own.

"As I said before, I watched what I shouldn’t have, that’s why this afternoon, I gouged out one of my own eyeballs. This eyeball is my apology to Miss Liang. I originally thought to gouge out both, but it was too painful, and I couldn’t bring myself to do it."

"The six heads are of Boss Zhonghai and his crew. He was involved this time, so I took care of them this morning. There will be no more Boss Zhonghai."

"Moreover, I’ve entrusted my lawyers to donate two-thirds of my assets to the civil affairs department, but the procedure is quite complicated and still being processed."

"I’ve also prepared a check, not for you, but for your brothers who were injured."

"Well, then there’s this morning’s incident. Aside from me, no one knows what happened, that’s all there is to say. I will sit here through the night, until dawn tomorrow, your so-called ’next day.’ If you want to kill me, come tomorrow morning. Let me sit through one more night. Honestly, I’m not ready to die yet."

By now, Yusuf Zuck had realized Lucy Clayton was making an offer of servitude and had self-mutilated one eye.

This guy was truly ruthless.

Of course, his only goal was to stay alive. He really wasn’t ready to die; being blind in one eye or crippled in one leg didn’t matter as long as he could stay alive!

Yusuf Zuck fell silent, Lucy Clayton, submitting and demonstrating weakness today, and so brutally, honestly scared him a bit.

Letting such a ruthless person live, or simply finishing him off?

If he lived, he would surely bear a grudge against Yusuf. Who knows when he might sneak up and take revenge?

But what if he were to finish him off?

His actions today did show the strength of character, and Yusuf Zuck liked those who were spirited. Lucy Clayton was undoubtedly spirited and conducted himself with an uncompromising attitude, one aspect Yusuf appreciated about him.

"Ring, ring, ring" Just as Yusuf Zuck was silent, his phone suddenly rang. The still atmosphere in the hall, caused it to startle everyone.

Yusuf Zuck took out his mobile phone and saw an unfamiliar number, but he answered it immediately.

"Guess who I am?" A playful voice came from the phone.

"Ruth?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly stood up.

"Tomorrow morning at seven, come wait for me in the New World Hotel’s lobby. Don’t stand me up, okay? I’ve got a surprise for you!" Ruth Wilcox said laughing, and then she hung up the phone.

Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. Ruth Wilcox was coming back tomorrow and wanted him to wait for her at the New Century Hotel’s lobby?

Even though he didn’t know why it was the New Century, it was good that she was coming back.

Yusuf Zuck put away his phone and glanced at Lucy Clayton, saying, "I might not come over tomorrow morning. I have an appointment to meet someone at seven. But from today on, your life is mine. Do you agree?"

Lucy Clayton suddenly burst into laughter, baring a wide smile.
