Chapter 358: Chapter 358: The Chinese Concept of Love

Logically speaking, when Yusuf Zuck brought Sophia and Rachel Fournier to the capital, he should also have compensated them. After all, he was the host, and they were the guests, so how could the host have reason to depart?

Only Yusuf Zuck had no choice but to go. Lucy Clayton was honorable, and he could not bear the thought of her being heartbroken even in death, so even if Lucy had died in Japan, he had to go there to bring back her body.

The Spring Festival was coming soon. If she really was dead, how could her parents and her children face the Spring Festival?

Yusuf Zuck did not book a flight ticket, because he knew that this trip might result in many unforeseen and uncontrollable events, so a booked flight ticket would be traceable.

After leaving the hospital, Yusuf Zuck went to New Century. There were two people he needed to meet at New Century, one was Ruth Wilcox, and the other was the disciple sent by the Petty Family, his disciple.

There was no help for it. The Petty Family had made this small request, so be it, he would play the role of the mentor.

When Yusuf Zuck arrived at the New Century parking lot, Samuel Ross greeted him, having also rented a room at New Century to reside in these days.

"She is on the sixth floor and hasn’t left her room in the last few days. I come by daily to check on her as routine. She doesn’t need anything; she’s just waiting for your return," Samuel Ross was in charge of hosting the Petty Family’s daughter.

"Mm, got it. And Ruth? What has been the situation over the past few days?" The reason Samuel Ross was here renting a room was also under Yusuf Zuck’s instruction, to keep an eye on Ruth Wilcox in secret.

"Ms. Wilcox has been busy until late every night, and then Ms. Tu comes over to pick her up. She also arrives very early in the morning. Ms. Wilcox has been reforming, implementing an assessment system. I’ve made some discreet inquiries, and there are quite a few complaints about her!"

"Sigh." Hearing Samuel Ross’s report, Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath. As expected, once she was empowered, she aimed to do her best.

"That’s good. Call everyone and arrange for us to have dinner together tonight. You make the reservation at the restaurant, including Isaac Quintana and Anais Dillon."

"Okay," Samuel Ross nodded in agreement.

Yusuf Zuck patted his shoulder and said, "There are some things, when I’m not around, you can make the decisions. Mm, go get busy. What’s the number on the sixth floor?"

"603."

"I’m heading up," Yusuf Zuck greeted and entered the hotel lobby.

The lobby greeters, cashiers, and the lobby manager all recognized him. After all, he had worked a little over a day’s shift here, and just a few days ago, he had beaten Herman Holloway, so they had all seen him.

So when he arrived at New Century again, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief and tension. What brought him here again?

Yusuf Zuck ignored them, pressed the elevator button, and went upstairs.

Room 603, just an ordinary room. The young girl from the Petty Family had been here for three or four days already. She had arrived around the time he flew to Guiyang, so they hadn’t met each other.

Yusuf Zuck stopped outside Room 603 and took a moment to probe inside with telekinesis.

There was a girl inside, around seventeen or eighteen years old at most, looking like a high school student. She was sitting quietly, reading a book. The TV was off, she wasn’t on the internet, nor chatting on her phone.

She had Qi inside her, but it was at an entry-level stage, not even as advanced as Jerome Hart.

After taking a glance, Yusuf Zuck knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside.

"Yusuf Zuck," he reported his own name.

"Creak," the door was quickly opened, and the young girl glanced at Yusuf Zuck before bowing and saying, "Disciple Raelyn Petty, greeting the Master!"

"Raelyn Petty, Alvin Petty is your cousin, right?" Yusuf Zuck smiled and walked in.

As Raelyn Petty closed the door, she answered, "Alvin Petty is my third uncle!"

"Uh-uh... Right, right, I got it wrong!" Yusuf Zuck felt a surge of embarrassment. Alvin Petty had mentioned before that she was his elder brother’s granddaughter, whereas Legacy Petty was of the nephew’s generation, so there was a generational gap.

Raelyn Petty just smiled and didn’t say much. She seemed to be the introverted and reserved type. Despite her youth, she was not the lively kind.

"I’ve been out of town for the past few days, so I’m sorry for making you wait so long!"

"It’s okay. I already know about Master’s affair in Fairy Land, Guizhou. My great-grandfather and my second and third grand-uncles should arrive in the next few days, saying they have matters to discuss with you."

"What? You’ve heard about the Guizhou incident?" Yusuf Zuck was greatly surprised. He had just returned, but the news had already reached the Petty Family?

"Mhm." Raelyn Petty nodded and smiled, "At the gathering of extraordinary people, the legendary Yusuf Zuck emerged. With a Flying Sword, he was invincible, first beheading a Grandmaster, then slaying Truth-Insight. Two of the three great seers in the world today were killed by him, with another bending his head. The true Yusuf Zuck came and went without a trace, leaving with his sword!"

"Uh..." Yusuf Zuck was stunned. Was this a recitation of a story?

"This is the story circulating in the martial world. Many who did not attend the conference are inquiring about your exploits, and those who did are also... well, investigating your information. In any case, Master, you became famous in one battle."

"Oh." Yusuf Zuck shrugged indifferently. He could take or leave this fame; it wasn’t of any benefit to him.

"Later, you can come stay at my place. You’ll stay there for the time being. I’ve been quite busy lately, and I’ll have to travel far tomorrow, so it’s inconvenient to take you with me. I’ll teach you... cough cough, teach you martial arts when I return sometimes."

"I’ll follow Master’s instructions. But do we need to hold a formal ceremony for me to become your disciple?" asked Raelyn Petty doubtfully.

"No need for that, no need. I’ve never taken on a disciple before. You are my first and will be my last, but... aren’t you attending school?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously, assuming she would be in college at her age of seventeen or eighteen.

"I’ve never been to school."

"What?" Yusuf Zuck was flabbergasted. The granddaughter of the Petty Family had never attended school? What did that mean?

"What do you mean you’ve never been to school?"

Raelyn Petty thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I’m a bit different. I read the books that needed reading and learned what needed to be learned very early on. So I... only attended primary school, and never went to middle school or beyond."

Raelyn Petty maintained a calm, gentle smile, politely standing in front of Yusuf Zuck without sitting down. She was neither arrogant nor impatient, and her entire demeanor was serene, fitting her name, Raelyn Petty!

"Alright, that’s settled then. Here are my car keys. You go downstairs first and wait in my car. I’ll be down shortly." Yusuf Zuck handed his car keys to Raelyn Petty and then left the guest room first, heading upstairs in the elevator.

He still wanted to check on Ruth Wilcox.

When he arrived at the office area by elevator, no one was on duty at the reception of the office area, and after a quick glance, Yusuf Zuck looked down the corridor.

Outside Ruth Wilcox’s office stood a person, a hawk-eyed Caucasian man over six feet three inches tall who appeared very sturdy and exuded strength.

Yusuf Zuck frowned. This man clearly looked like a bodyguard, but why was there a foreign bodyguard outside Ruth Wilcox’s door?

Yusuf Zuck remained at the elevator entrance, not moving, as his telekinesis probed inside.

Ruth Wilcox hadn’t changed offices since she was acting as the general manager, leaving the general manager’s office reserved for Herman Holloway.

Meanwhile, Yusuf Zuck could see the scene inside Ruth Wilcox’s room. Ruth was standing at the window, and seated in front of her desk was a handsome Caucasian man in his mid-twenties, dressed in a white suit, looking very stylish.

"Ross, I’m sorry, but I’m already engaged to my beloved, so please don’t disturb me anymore, which also means I won’t be going out for dinner with you."

"You care a lot about your Chinese boyfriend? Or should I say, he would be jealous?" Surprisingly, this young Ross also spoke fluent Chinese. He smiled faintly, not appearing angry or impatient.

"Yes, although you understand something of China, you don’t understand Chinese men or the Chinese concept of love, so I’m sorry."
