Chapter 390: Chapter 389: Someone is Following Him

"What do you mean by asking me to return to the Nash family?" Yusuf Zuck’s heart was roiling with shock and disbelief. Could the Nash family really be engaging in activities that harm the national interest, reaching an uncontrollable level?

How powerful had the Nash family become?

"Because your previous actions have shown that you are very powerful, powerful enough to make the Nash family wary, as long as you return, it’s very likely that you could compete for the position of the next Family Head. Our goal is to cultivate a Nash family that can be controlled, one that will help the country. We hope you will help us. Of course, even if you do not compete for the position of Family Head, we still hope that you can provide us with some useful information from within the Nash family, such as various data from their research laboratories, the locations of these labs, and so on."

"What is the Nash family researching?" asked Yusuf Zuck, puzzled.

"We’ve received reliable information that they are developing very powerful technology, perhaps not of human origin!"

"If it’s not human, then whose is it?" Yusuf Zuck asked, startled.

"We can’t be sure of that. In any case, the Nash family’s advancements in certain research realms have already surpassed the nation’s, which is very dangerous."

"The Nash family!" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath, never having imagined that the very family he had always wanted to confront was so formidable.

"But it’s impossible for me to be accepted by the Nash family. I can’t return. First, the grudge between Kevin Nash and me is irreconcilable. Second, I killed Kevin’s second son, so it’s impossible for me to go back. I’m sorry."

"Nothing is absolute. How can you be sure you can’t return if you haven’t tried?" said Devin King, looking at Yusuf Zuck.

"Even if I could return, I wouldn’t go back. So, I’m sorry." Yusuf Zuck shook his head. His character was such that he couldn’t humble himself to call Kevin Nash ’Father’ after everything that had happened.

"Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. I’ll give you time to consider. In principle, this matter is beneficial for both you and us. Think it over. That’s all for today," Devin King stood up. He wasn’t forcing Yusuf Zuck, just giving him time to think.

Yusuf Zuck nodded and also stood up to shake hands with Devin King.

"It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. King," Yusuf Zuck offered.

"The pleasure is mine. Your future is limitless, and the road ahead might be long and far-reaching. If you need help, you can always contact me," Devin King said, pulling out a business card that had just a phone number on it, with no name.

Yusuf Zuck took it, glanced at it, and then pocketed the card.

After Devin King left, Russ Trujillo sipped his tea in small, quiet sips. Yusuf Zuck also drank his tea silently while pondering what Devin King had just said.

The Nash family was a formidable enemy. Previously, he had assumed that the Nash family might have one or two Grandmasters, but now it seemed he had underestimated them. The true depth of the Nash family’s strength must be so immense that he was looking up to them.

Uncontrollable by the state—to what extent was that? They were not just about money; they wielded various sorts of power overseas, and even if suppressed domestically, the overseas Nash family still stood strong.

He had thought that once he had made enough money to buy out the entire Nash family, he would use his wealth to slap the Nash family in the face, to purchase all of their assets, to investigate everything about them, to leave them all with nothing.

But now, he knew he was wrong; the Nash family couldn’t simply be dealt with by having money.

Yusuf Zuck was silent for a long time. It wasn’t until midnight that he left with Russ Trujillo. Russ went home, having bought a house in the capital. Their organization surely had unlimited funding and paid well, so buying a house in the capital was nothing noteworthy.

Yusuf Zuck drove home alone, to a house he hadn’t returned to in a very long time.

Now, Paisley Kirk and Raelyn Petty were living in the house, and no one else. Miles O’Brien lived in her own place.

After parking his car outside, Yusuf Zuck didn’t immediately get out. Instead, a sudden realization hit him, illuminating all the key points.

Money was important, and so were people. Thus, he needed to make money and also cultivate his own power base. It wasn’t about having just a few people who could fight; he needed to have people like Jerome Hart, Fleur Carson, Harley Strong, and Sophia around him—fighters of the internal martial arts.

These people can only play a significant role at critical moments.

The Nash family might abide by legal constraints at home, but their power abroad is greater than at home, so how could they possibly adhere to the law outside their country? Therefore, to oppose the Nash family, one must also have the upper hand in terms of power.

"Sophia must stay, Rachel Fournier must stay, Wen Shuai needs training, Fleur Carson needs training, and so do Faye Webb and that mystic, Yusuf Zuck; the progress of these people needs to be accelerated. And I can’t do that, but someone can!" Yusuf Zuck remembered Russ Trujillo’s grandfather, wondering if he could find the old man and get his help, perhaps the group of people around him would make rapid progress, right?

How old was Russ Trujillo anyway? But now he had attained Truth-Insight, and Felicity O’Brien, who had been just an ordinary girl before joining the army, was now a Grandmaster in just a few years? So, Mr. Trujillo could definitely help him.

...

Paisley Kirk was already resting at home, Raelyn Petty was reading in her room, and Yusuf Zuck, after some thought, decided not to return home but continued driving to Miles O’Brien’s place.

Miles O’Brien hadn’t gone to sleep either. She was lying in bed reading a book, with glasses on.

Yusuf Zuck knew what Miles O’Brien was thinking: because he had come back, she was waiting for him.

No phone call, no prior hints, but she was quietly waiting for him.

When Yusuf Zuck took out the key and opened the door, she heard it and happily jumped up, ran downstairs, helped Yusuf Zuck take off his coat, get slippers, and prepared toiletries.

Yusuf Zuck actually really liked returning here because once back, his heart could settle down, relax, and he could have a good night’s sleep.

After taking a bath, brushing his teeth, and shaving, Yusuf Zuck lied down on the bed and started chatting with Miles O’Brien. As usual, Miles reported on the income and expenditures of the antique shop during this period, some miscellaneous expenses, and their bank deposits, and so on.

Yusuf Zuck had entrusted her with managing the antique shop, which was a show of absolute trust in her.

"Sara came back last time, but you stood all of us up. Still, Sara really has the air of a celebrity now. Her whole temperament is different."

"I haven’t called her for many days. I’ve been too busy recently," Yusuf Zuck said with a smile; his phone was always turned off, so Sara couldn’t even reach him if she wanted to talk.

"What about the old man?" Yusuf Zuck asked.

"Mr. Nash went to Sanya, rented a house there, and said he’s going fishing every day. I just called him yesterday, and he’s doing well."

"Thank you for taking care of everything at home," Yusuf Zuck said as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Of course, I should. Who am I if not your girl..." said Miles O’Brien in a sweet voice.

"Heh, you are indeed my girl, and you’ll be mine for life," Yusuf Zuck chuckled and then pulled the covers over them.

When daybreak came, Yusuf Zuck woke up earlier than Miles O’Brien and even made breakfast for her before driving off.

He had to make a trip to Inner Mongolia today. He needed to visit the pharmaceutical factory, especially now towards the end of the year, to hold a meeting, listen to Sonny King’s report on the factory’s production for the next year, and to decide on some Spring Festival benefits.

However, just as Yusuf Zuck drove out of the fifth ring road and got onto the Beijing-Mongolia expressway, he suddenly realized that his car was being followed by another vehicle—no, two vehicles. Someone was tailing him!
