Chapter 386: Chapter 385: Yusuf Zuck’s Team

"What’s the level of your great-grandfather?" Yusuf Zuck asked, his face brimming with curiosity, as he looked at Russ Trujillo.

"Many years ago, he reached the state of Fasting, I guess? As for now, I have no idea; it’s impossible to tell. But his teeth fell out and then grew back again, the white hair at the roots turned black, now he has a full head of black hair, and there are much fewer wrinkles on his face."

"Is there really such a thing as the Fasting state in this world?" Yusuf Zuck was taken aback. Fasting means not eating, drinking, or sleeping, right? Are there really people in the world who can live without eating or drinking?

"Actually, to speak broadly, Fasting doesn’t necessarily mean not eating or drinking. How should I put it, what they consume is just different, like an Elixir Pill, a cup of mountain spring water, and so on. They still need to take in sustenance, otherwise, even immortals would starve to death without eating or drinking, right? We are born with organs like the stomach for digestion; if not used for this purpose, then what are they for?"

"Oh." Yusuf Zuck nodded, thought about it, and felt that what Russ Trujillo said made sense. Fasting might not mean literally not eating or drinking; maybe these people eat once every ten days or half a month.

"Can your grandfather fly?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly asked.

"Fly?" Russ Trujillo was taken aback: "My great-grandfather doesn’t have wings, how could he possibly fly? However, his light body skills are indeed extraordinary."

"So even the Fasting state doesn’t enable one to fly?" Yusuf Zuck laughed. That’s because one day he would be able to fly; he was very certain of this.

After chatting for a bit and agreeing to contact each other after ten o’clock at night, Miles O’brien and Felicity O’brien went back the way they came. The sisters seemed to be in high spirits, though it was unclear what they had discussed.

After the four had eaten, Miles O’Brien paid the bill, and they went their separate ways, with Yusuf Zuck and Miles O’Brien hurrying off to Marlon Shepherd’s home.

Marlon Shepherd’s house was located in a high-end residential complex on the West Third Ring Road. It wasn’t particularly large, nor was it a duplex, just an ordinary high-rise building on the fifteenth floor, around ninety square meters in size.

When Yusuf Zuck arrived at Marlon Shepherd’s home, Samuel Ross and the others had already arrived first. Collins Brown and these people were still in touch and had each other’s numbers.

There were two other women in Collins Brown’s home. After an introduction, Yusuf learned that one was her colleague and the other was her classmate, both of whom were from the capital, who had come over to help after work.

"Zuck, the muscle work isn’t for you, Samuel and the others have already divided the tasks. However, your car has been requisitioned, no objections, right?" Collins Brown didn’t stand on ceremony with Yusuf Zuck, but she knew that he was a busy man. If she really roped him into the heavy lifting, it would probably delay his affairs. So, after Samuel and the others arrived, she discussed the division of labor with them. They just needed to help out in the days leading to the wedding; after that, they wouldn’t be needed anymore.

"No problem, if we need more cars, I can borrow a couple. Anything else you need help with?" Yusuf Zuck walked around the new house; neither of the couple had specially bought it for this purpose. It was a house Marlon Shepherd had bought years ago; they had just redecorated.

"We’re just missing your gift money; nothing else is lacking. You decide!" Collins Brown said to Yusuf Zuck with a grin.

"You really don’t stand on ceremony, do you? Haha." Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily; in reality, he had already prepared a considerable sum as a gift for Marlon Shepherd. Marlon had been helping him out with various things lately, going to Hong Kong, Inner Mongolia, Australia, so Yusuf had prepared ten million as a wedding gift.

Ten million might not sound like a lot but was definitely not a small sum either; ten million could be enough for an average person to struggle for several lifetimes.

Collins Brown’s two best friends listened curiously to their conversation and sneaked glances at Yusuf Zuck unremittingly. They were both single, and this Mr. Zuck seemed to be quite wealthy and imposing. They were also curious about what this man did for a living: the woman by his side was a girlfriend, fiancée, or wife?

Of course, with so many people around, it was inconvenient for them to ask more, so they just whispered to each other.

After a bit of commotion in the new house, it was time for dinner, and then the group set off for the restaurant.

Buick business vans were in the lead, with Floyd Hart driving; Jack, Uriel Arellano, and Grey Petty sat inside.

The second car was a Bentley, owned by Khaza Zuck, with Faye Webb driving and Jerome Hart sitting inside.

Rachel Fournier and Everest Zuck chose not to partake in this kind of gathering, so they didn’t come.

The third car is a Langyi driven by the private detective Memphis Blackwell and his wife Mary Berger.

The fourth car was a Range Rover driven by Samuel Ross, belonging to Yusuf Zuck, with Raelyn Petty and a young nurse inside.

The fifth car was Yusuf Zuck’s pickup truck, driven by Floyd Hart, the sixth was Yusuf Zuck and Miles O’brien, and the seventh was Collins Brown and her two best friends.

"Come on, spill it, who is this big boss, what does he do, with all these people and cars ahead of us, are they all his people?" The two best friends were extremely curious and kept trying to dig up dirt on Yusuf Zuck.

"All I know is he has a pharmaceutical factory in Inner Mongolia, an antique shop in Panjiayuan, and an investment company. My husband is now the company manager; he acts as a silent shopkeeper and doesn’t deal with a thing, leaving it all to my husband!"

"A tycoon, huh?" The two women’s eyes shone like stars.

"Even if he’s a tycoon, he’s not your cup of tea." Collins Brown laughed and said, "The one driving the BMW Mini is his girlfriend, and he has another girlfriend lying in the hospital right now, and maybe a few more girlfriends?"

"Wow, that many girlfriends? So, we have a chance too?" The two women giggled, implying that a man with a wandering eye might be easy to approach.

"I advise you not to set your sights on him. You might try with the people around him, though. My husband said that this year Yusuf Zuck has shared quite a lot of money with those around him. Most of them have bought houses in the capital. Just a few days ago, at the year’s end, he was handing out red packets of a hundred thousand each."

"Hehe, what about at your house? How much did you guys get in red packets?" One of the women asked with a cheeky smile.

"I’m not telling you." Collins Brown laughed mischievously, knowing this kind of thing shouldn’t be carelessly shared.

When the motorcade arrived at the restaurant, Samuel Ross had booked a large venue, a club of sorts, quite upscale.

Before getting out of the car, Yusuf Zuck called Fleur Carson to ask if she’s coming, but Fleur said she was in Tianjin with Ms. Wilcox.

Then Yusuf Zuck asked if his wife would bring the kids over, but Fleur replied that his wife was at home tutoring the kids since the domestic curriculum was very intense and their children were struggling to keep up.

Just as Yusuf Zuck had hung up the phone with Fleur Carson, Anna Cooke arrived by taxi as they were getting out of the cars.

Anna Cooke was also part of their team, working weekends at the antique shop, and had grown quite familiar with everyone, so Samuel Ross had not left her out. In managing affairs, Samuel Ross was even more attentive than Yusuf Zuck, which is why Yusuf had put him in charge.

"Mr. Zuck, it’s been a rarity to see you this winter. We’ve been anxiously waiting for you. I guess you arranged this meeting now because it’s almost the New Year, right?" Anna Cooke, always dressed down, was wearing a simple black down jacket and jeans, and didn’t resemble a daughter from a wealthy, prestigious family.

"I haven’t thanked you for the last time yet. Today, you and I need to drink a few more rounds." Yusuf Zuck laughed, recalling how when he was detained, Anna Cooke had asked her mother for help, leveraging a lot of the Shepherd Family’s influence, without which he might not have been able to get out—so both Anna Cooke and the Shepherd Family were benefactors to him.

He had always respected Anna Cooke, never joking too much or teasing her, maintaining a respectful and distant demeanor.
