Chapter 392: Chapter 391: The Person is Gone

There’s a saying that goes, "If you always walk by the river, you’re bound to get your shoes wet." Yusuf Zuck really capsized in the gutter this time around. The gunmen weren’t too formidable, but he had been careless and hadn’t expected them to burst out with submachine guns on the freeway!

Although they didn’t hit any vital spots, the incident had scared him considerably, not to mention Samuel Ross and the others, who were not only terrified after the fact but also brimming with fury.

Yusuf was the boss, their brother, and their cash cow; they all depended on Yusuf to pay their salaries. Cutting off their financial path was undoubtedly akin to killing their parents, so setting aside the brotherhood, just this attack on their livelihood alone was enough for them to want revenge — to kill.

However, the police hadn’t been able to find those two vehicles because they had vanished into thin air on the highway. The police reviewed the highway surveillance footage, checked the license plates, and discovered they were fake.

Of course, the police took the matter very seriously. Putting aside Yusuf’s identity, this kind of scene reminiscent of a gunfight from a movie was absolutely not permitted domestically.

Ember Vance’s uncle came to the hospital personally to offer his sympathy upon hearing the news, issuing an order to solve the case within a certain timeframe and to capture the assailants without fail.

Yusuf, who was lying in bed, expressed his gratitude, while Ace Vance noticed that Yusuf seemed to be in great pain and thus left after staying briefly.

"Everyone, get out. Louise, you guys too," said Yusuf, who was indeed suffering. Sweat poured from his forehead non-stop, and although the surgery was complete, his condition seemed even more severe.

Miles O’brien and the others wanted to stay in the room, but Yusuf was truly in agonizing pain, which made him angry.

Seeing his anger, Miles O’brien, Paisley Kirk, and Raelyn Petty reluctantly left the sickroom.

"Phew~" As soon as the three women stepped out, Yusuf suddenly gritted his teeth and sat up. The pain at his wound site was unbearable, worse than during the surgery, and when he had used telekinesis to probe earlier, he discovered to his amazement that the shattered bones were regrowing and healing themselves at an incredibly fast rate.

He thought about all the conditions that had arisen since his mutation, his lack of even scars, and how large doses of anesthesia were ineffective on him. It meant he possessed a resistance and self-healing ability far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine.

He got off the bed and opened a window, then leaned out.

"Whoosh~," his mind targeted a rooftop a hundred meters away, and the next second, he had teleported right over there.

This space-time travel came with restrictions; he had discovered them on the highway. First, if seat belts were fastened, he couldn’t teleport, and second, if there were physical obstructions, he likewise couldn’t make the jump.

Back then, the car windows, doors, and seat belts prevented him from instantaneous travel over a hundred-meter distance.

In the sickroom, the window was an obstruction, and he was just as unable to move. This was perhaps a drawback of space-time travel: it required that there be absolutely no obstacles between his mind and body.

To travel through obstructive objects, one needed the Wall-Piercing Technique, but he hadn’t developed such special abilities yet; thus, when his body was constrained, he couldn’t instantly move to locations over a hundred meters away.

After arriving on the opposite rooftop, Yusuf immediately lay on the ground, gasping for air deeply and emitting sounds of pain. He had been silent because he was biting down hard and enduring, but now that he was alone, he finally showed his vulnerable side.

Of course, the physical and nerve pain was a good sign, as his body was rapidly healing and growing.

You have to understand that his leg bones had been shattered, so even if the surgery was successful, he would surely have long-term consequences, whether it was becoming lame or semi-disabled, and his arms likely wouldn’t move as freely as before.

However, with the powerful self-healing ability, it probably wouldn’t be long before he was bouncing around again.

He saw the Blood Beads flickering with a red glow, and even observed an energy being secreted from the red light, repeatedly striking his injured areas.

Jerome Hart bought a wheelchair at the hospital’s pharmacy, and many others also purchased supplements to replenish blood and energy. Everyone was concerned about when Yusuf Zuck would get better and whether he would fully recover; therefore, they chattered about it in the corridor.

Anna Cooke arrived after hearing the news and hurried to the hospital.

"I’ll go take a look," she said to Miles O’brien and others before gently pushing open the door of Yusuf Zuck’s ward.

But after a quick glance inside, she realized that Yusuf Zuck wasn’t on the bed. Puzzled, she walked in, thinking that Yusuf Zuck might be in the private bathroom.

However... when she checked, she found the bathroom door open, and it was completely empty too?

"Where is he?" She looked all around; the ward was only so big, with really no place to hide a person.

"That’s not right, didn’t he just finish surgery? Where could he be?" Anna Cooke walked out of the ward, confused, and said to Louise Garrett standing outside, "Sister-in-law, where’s Brother Zhang?"

"Uh..." Hearing Anna Cooke’s words, everyone in the hallway was taken aback. They had been keeping watch outside, and had clearly seen Yusuf Zuck being wheeled in. When Miles O’brien and the others came out, Yusuf Zuck was still lying on the bed. That was less than ten minutes ago, right?

"The person? Couldn’t he have gone to the bathroom?" Miles O’brien immediately went inside, as they couldn’t let Yusuf Zuck go to the bathroom alone; he couldn’t stand on his legs.

But when Miles O’Brien entered, he was immediately dumbfounded!

"Yusuf Zuck..." Miles O’brien screamed.

Everyone rushed in, and yet... Yusuf Zuck damn well disappeared.

"The window is open, dammit, the man named Zuck didn’t jump out the window, did he...?" Jerome Hart’s eyes bulged, thinking Yusuf Zuck may have jumped out from the twenty-something floor window.

"Quick, downstairs..." The crowd surged out, running in a swarm, leaving the hospital’s nurses and doctors utterly bewildered.

When Samuel Ross, Jerome Hart, and others went downstairs, they checked the lawn, they looked on the terrace of the third floor, but there was no sign of Yusuf Zuck.

"Where is he? Where is he? Where is he?" Everyone was instantly baffled. Yusuf Zuck’s leg bones had been shattered. He hadn’t been seen leaving the ward, so where could he have gone?

Even if he had jumped, there should be a body, right? But now, there wasn’t even a body.

Miles O’Brien fainted from the shock and nervousness, the young nurse’s face grew pale, Anna Cooke was completely dazed, Raelyn Petty stayed calm, calculating the distance from the twenty-something floor to the ground, and the chances of a martial arts expert jumping from that height and not surviving the fall.

Eventually, the hospital staff was alerted, and so was the police. A patient just having surgery, still under anesthesia, disappeared into thin air from the ward? The person was missing?

"Everybody, don’t panic, it’s alright, it’s alright. I just did a divination for him, and it’s very auspicious, don’t worry. Trust me, it’s correct!" Everest Zuck knew Yusuf Zuck could become invisible, so he assumed Yusuf Zuck had left using his invisibility, certain that death was an impossibility.

"Yes, nobody panic, don’t panic. Yusuf Zuck has a strong life, he can’t die, let’s keep looking for him in the hospital," Jerome Hart said, reassured, placating the crowd at that moment.
