Chapter 454: Chapter 453: The Helplessness of Old Master Ye

Fleur Carson knew Yusuf Zuck very well. She believed that Yusuf Zuck was still in the capital because he was waiting for news about little Ross. Since he was in the capital and not with Miles O’Brien and the others, there could only be one place he was hiding.

So Fleur Carson came to Ruth Wilcox’s home, a place she often came to pick up and drop off Ruth when she worked as her driver, so she was familiar with this villa district.

Fleur Carson jumped over the gate to enter since it was locked, leaving her no choice but to hop over.

However, the villa’s door was not locked, and when she pushed on it, it opened directly.

Yusuf Zuck sat cross-legged on the sofa like an old monk in meditation. Fleur Carson narrowed her eyes and noticed that his breath was long and steady, as though he was cultivating some kind of Dharma Gate, with waves of energy rolling around him.

"Why are you here?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"Have you been sitting here for a whole night and day? Haven’t you eaten?" Fleur Carson frowned because she noticed that Yusuf Zuck seemed even thinner than the day before, his complexion gone, looking like a dried corpse.

"I’m on a diet," Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.

"Sara’s in trouble," Fleur Carson told him.

"What?" Yusuf Zuck’s smile suddenly froze on his face, and the muscles twitched involuntarily. In that instant, Fleur Carson could see a killing intent raging in his eyes.

"Dream Morrow just called me, Edison Petty from the Petty Family has been bullying Sara," Fleur Carson said gravely.

"Edison Petty?" Yusuf Zuck was momentarily stunned and then felt a swell of anger in his chest—had the Petty family really dared to bully him?

Had they turned their backs on him after he had helped them cross the river? Did they think they could target his family now that they believed he was dead?

"Give me the phone," Yusuf Zuck stood up abruptly, his fingers twitching non-stop, like a lion on the brink of losing its sanity.

Fleur Carson immediately handed her phone to him.

Yusuf Zuck dialed Dream Morrow’s number, and Dream promptly picked up.

"This is Yusuf Zuck. How is Sara?" Yusuf Zuck’s heart was in his throat as he asked, worried that if Sara had really been harmed by Edison Petty, he wouldn’t know how to face Sara Zuck, especially since he was the one who had sent her to the Petty Family in the first place, like sending a lamb into the tiger’s den.

"Hold on, bro," Dream Morrow seemed to be in an inconvenient spot and only continued after about thirty seconds, "It’s nothing serious. Edison Petty just harassed her." Dream Morrow recounted the events of the dance, including how Sara Zuck had described it.

"Where are you now?"

"We’re at Miss Tuffs’s home. I’m lying in bed. There was their family doctor here earlier."

"You’re injured?" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath.

"It’s just two broken ribs, no big deal. The Tuffs’s family’s private doctor is good at setting bones. I’ll be fine with a few days’ rest."

"Okay, then stay at the Tuffs’s, and tell Sara not to step out of the Tuffs’s home. I’ll be right over to the island," Yusuf Zuck said and hung up the phone while taking a deep sigh of relief. Sara Zuck was not in grave danger; she had just been harassed by Edison Petty while dancing.

People’s hearts are not ancient; he hadn’t anticipated that the Petty Family, who had always shown goodwill towards him and whom he had helped time and again, would stoop to such beastly behavior.

It was he who had saved the old Petty family master’s life; it was he who had killed their enemy, the Meskill family. So even if the Petty Family had given him some money, he still had done them a favor.

Edison Petty’s indecency towards Sara Zuck was sheer ingratitude!

"Take me to the airport," Yusuf Zuck said as he rose to his feet and walked out.

Fleur Carson also hurriedly left with him.

The two of them left without a sound, jumping out of the yard and straight into the car.

"Do you need me to come with you?" Fleur Carson asked Yusuf Zuck.

"No need," Yusuf Zuck shook his head.

"What do you plan to do?"

"I’ve come to quite enjoy killing," Yusuf Zuck said calmly.

Fleur Carson nodded in understanding without a word. He, too, enjoyed killing, and the current Yusuf Zuck seemed to show signs of demonic possession. Anyone who offended him was marked for death.

This wasn’t the behavior of a normal person, but Yusuf Zuck was no ordinary man. If he didn’t settle matters through killing, more troublemakers would inevitably emerge later on, and by then, it might be too late for remedies.

...

Meanwhile, as Yusuf Zuck was heading to the airport, Edison Petty was called back home by the Petty family patriarch with a phone call.

Ross’s mother had fought with him, but neither could gain the upper hand. Finding out that Sara Zuck and Dream Morrow had left, she quickly withdrew.

The events at the dance had already been relayed to the Petty family patriarch, and although just over an hour had passed, the news quickly reached Alvin Petty, who then informed the patriarch.

"Kneel down!" In the study, the old Mr. Petty was shaking with rage.

His third son had been pampered since childhood and was a notorious playboy on the island, known to the street folks as Brother Petty.

But Edison Petty had now lost all sense of decency.

There’s an old saying, "The older men get, the more wicked their hearts turn." Some middle-aged men specifically seek out young girls, and Edison Petty had been headed in that direction for some years, his desires growing ever stronger.

"Our Petty family has upheld loyalty and valor, benevolence, and righteousness. When my life hung by a thread, it was Yusuf Zuck who saved me. The Meskill family’s assassination attempts against us were thwarted by Yusuf Zuck’s intervention."

"Sure, we Petty have paid him a substantial sum of money, but do you think money can buy life? Can it compel a man to risk his life hunting the Meskill family and eventually even lay down his own life?"

"He was killed by officials, not the Meskill family..." Edison Petty muttered.

"Scoundrel!" The old Mr. Petty grabbed the inkstone from the desk and hurled it at him.

Edison Petty dodged swiftly; he wouldn’t let the inkstone mar his face.

"Dad, we don’t owe Yusuf Zuck anything, right? Don’t be mad. Besides, I didn’t really do anything to Sara. What’s wrong with me starting to court her?"

"Scum!" Old Mr. Petty trembled with fury, for Edison Petty showed no sign of remorse.

At that moment, Alvin Petty pondered and said, "Dad, since the third brother’s misdeed is already done, I’m afraid Sara has no fond feelings for our Petty family anymore. Although we are in the wrong, we can only leave it at this. I’ll go and apologize in the morning."

"Right, brother, you go and apologize. It’s giving her face, as well as paying respects to the late Yusuf Zuck." Edison Petty grinned. His elder brother, a significant figure, rarely apologized, and now he was willing to apologize to a little actress, bestowing upon her great honor indeed.

Old Mr. Petty sighed deeply, becoming silent. He knew that Alvin Petty’s stepping forward to apologize was the greatest concession the Petty family could make, and they were indeed giving the young girl tremendous respect. Any other actress would probably be overwhelmed by such favor.

Yet he couldn’t overcome a certain barrier in his own heart. People of Petty, honored benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and valor. But where were benevolence and valor in Edison Petty’s behavior today?

Yusuf Zuck had died, and he genuinely didn’t want to be ungrateful or abandon Sara Zuck to a life without riches.

Unfortunately, everyone’s heart is different; he couldn’t control his third son’s thoughts, and that was why such a scene had unfolded.

Of course, for others, this kind of incident is quite ordinary, nothing to fuss about. Wasn’t it just flirting with a little actress? Making a mountain out of a molehill?

But, the little actress’s brother had been a benefactor to their family!

Alvin and Edison Petty left, and the old Mr. Petty, who had abstained from smoking for many years, sat alone in his study and began to smoke.

However, what they did not know was that the lethal Yusuf Zuck had already boarded a flight to the island, hidden in the luggage compartment!
