Chapter 481: Chapter 480: The Dragon Group’s Deduction
Maurice Singleton managed Huarez, with Luciano and Alfredo Meskill forming mercenary or Assassin Organizations, while Elena was the intelligence provider.
That was the structure Yusuf Zuck built in the short term, and once established, this triad of forces could accomplish many great things for him over the next few years.
Three days later, Yusuf received an unexpected call from Luciano, who told him that he and Alfredo needed to leave for a while and might not be able to return anytime soon but reassured him there was no need to worry.
When Yusuf asked where they were going, Luciano didn’t say, only telling him there was no need to worry.
Wells Merritt and Hobby Pope were also leaving with them.
Yusuf didn’t get too anxious; he figured that Luciano and Alfredo were probably off scouting for other members of the team.
Elena and Selena Gould also left, heading to Washington, and Yusuf handed the intelligence buildup to Elena because she was capable, smart, and ruthless, making her a perfect candidate to build the organization efficiently.
With no familiar faces left in the teahouse, Yusuf became a commander without troops.
Still, he grew to like the feeling of being in charge alone, spending his days leisurely chatting with a few beautiful Tea Artists in the teahouse.
Meanwhile, as Yusuf disappeared, many went crazy: one group being patients suffering from major diseases, and the others were the media and various national Intelligence organizations.
If Yusuf’s cure of old Bobby Hahn’s cancer was considered a singular case, then the subsequent media investigation revealed that he had cured a total of nine patients, including Bobby Hahn.
Nine people, all high-profile individuals, with one even being a prince and two of them major clients, famous enough to be listed on the Forbes list.
Although these celebrities didn’t come forward to confirm, they had all been on the brink of death and were now unexpectedly back in the public eye, lively as ever.
This was the most powerful confirmation yet that nine individuals with terminal illnesses were now all alive and well, perhaps even healthier than before.
So the media went mad, and so did the patients with terminal diseases because the truth was in front of them: there existed a person known as "Angel," capable of pulling you back from the brink of death.
Thus, many people embarked on a search for this legendary Angel, with some even advertising in newspapers, promising vast sums of money if the Angel would come forth and cure them.
Yusuf heard these updates in the chatter of the Tea Artists and reports from Maurice Singleton, and he advised Maurice to be careful as someone would likely come for him soon.
"Hehe, boss, I’m already out to sea, got myself a boat, and here I am with Paul and the others on the ocean, so right now no one can find me," said Maurice, sly and cunning. He could easily predict that many would be after him.
Considered an intermediary, the link to the legendary Angel, he was fortunate, but also in the most dangerous position.
Now that Yusuf was refusing to treat anyone, the patients might get angry enough to eliminate him, so of course, he had run to a place where no one could find him, waiting for the commotion to subside before he returned home.
"Good, but you can let out a message stating that I am willing to continue treatment but with a condition attached: the purple deep-sea pearl of at least the size of a pigeon’s egg. With that, I can come out of hiding, otherwise forget it."
"Boss, you’re doing this for the Purple Pearl?" exclaimed Maurice in surprise.
"That’s only part of it, just do as I say," Yusuf instructed.
"Easy, I’ll just leak the news to the previous patients, and the way I communicate with them has also changed to emails," Maurice chuckled.
"Alright, if any of the patients have the Purple Pearl, have them send photos and videos to your email."
"Got it," Maurice agreed, then hung up the phone.
Email was the safest way to communicate, since phone calls could be tapped. So they switched to emails, making it impossible for anyone to trace his location.
The condition to provide the Purple Pearl had been a strategic decision by Yusuf; wealth was something one could earn with enough capability, but the Purple Pearl was rare and sought after, so he cast his net, leaving it up to fate whether he would catch anything.
...
As Yusuf disappeared, so did Maurice, causing the media frenzy to gradually subside after a few days, since the world witnessed other significant events every day. And when the media couldn’t unearth more, they would dig for newer stories.
As a result, within a month, the news about the Angel almost disappeared.
Of course, some organizations hadn’t given up on the search for Angel, including several governmental scientific research organizations.
After gathering intelligence on the nine patients, they had drawn a conclusion, namely, the individual claiming to be an Angel likely possessed a magical potion. It was not that his personal abilities were exceptionally strong, but rather, after drinking something, all nine people felt their illnesses vanish.
Therefore, it was an incredible technological breakthrough. If they could obtain this potion for research, it would be a great boon for humanity.
The intelligence agencies of the United States, the UK, Japan, France, and China were all in motion.
However, intelligence organizations from other countries had failed to find any information about the Angel, including his identity, origins, name, appearance, and the like; they had found nothing.
But one country did uncover a sliver of a clue.
...
In the capital, at the Dragon Group Station, Devin King was listening to a team member’s report.
The Dragon Group hadn’t paid much attention to the emergence of an Angel. Even if he could cure terminal illnesses, it wasn’t exactly the Dragon Group’s concern.
However, as the media began to extensively cover the story, the Dragon Group also received orders to investigate the veracity of the event.
Upon receiving the command, Devin King naturally dispatched people abroad to investigate and reports came back affirming the truth of the event. The nine individuals indeed had terminal diseases with records and proof from various hospitals, including photographs.
The nine patients with terminal diseases had miraculously recovered.
Devin King reported the confirmed details to his superiors, who then sent a second order: find the Angel at any cost.
Initially, Devin King didn’t understand why it was so imperative to find this person, but the director of the Dragon Group, his boss, explained: one reason was that this individual likely controlled an advanced technology capable of curing terminal illnesses, and such technology, once acquired, would be an intangible wealth.
The second reason was that an elderly leader had also contracted a terminal disease.
There were only these two reasons, so Devin King dispatched a capable team to continue the investigation.
Today was also a day of investigative progress, so aside from the head of the group who was not present at the meeting, the majority of the members who were at home attended the secret meeting at the station of the Dragon Group. There were dozens of them.
The person giving the report was a female military officer wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel, who stood at the front of the meeting room near the projector and said, "The initial report has already been concluded. The nine patients suffered from diseases such as leukemia, AIDS, lung cancer, cerebral stroke, blindness, and so on. I will not go into these details here. Let me discuss the recent progress of the investigation."
She turned on the projector and then an image of Maurice Singleton filled the screen, "This man is Maurice Singleton, the mob boss of Mexico’s second-largest gang. About half a year ago, he took over the Juarez cartel, and he’s also the go-between for the Angel, publicly claiming that Angel is the true godfather of Juarez."
"Our intelligence personnel analyzed him and came up with an intriguing evidence chain." As the female officer spoke, the projector suddenly switched, and another person appeared on the screen.
Many people in the room, including Devin King, gasped in surprise upon seeing the person displayed.
Because the person shown was Yusuf Zuck.
"His name is Yusuf Zuck!" the female officer said with a smile, "I believe many of you recognize him. What I want to say is that when Maurice Singleton took over Juarez, it was right after Yusuf Zuck stirred up trouble in a Las Vegas Casino. Our intelligence indicates he had been to Mexico, and had a violent confrontation with the Mexican gangs because of a woman."
"Also, not long after Maurice Singleton took over Juarez, his daughter, Macklin Greene, came to study in China, and the one receiving Macklin was none other than Paisley Kirk, who has a close relationship with Yusuf Zuck. We’ve investigated the call records of Macklin; she’s been in contact with Yusuf Zuck, which is to say, Yusuf Zuck and Maurice Singleton know each other!"
"Another interesting phenomenon is the recent additional message sent by Mr. Angel through Maurice Singleton, concerning the healing, which involved the Purple Pearl—he wants a pigeon-egg-sized Purple Pearl!"
"And you may not know, but half a year ago, at the so-called wizard’s conference in Guizhou, a Purple Pearl appeared. This Purple Pearl was lost at the conference, and it was said that Yusuf Zuck had been involved in a bid for it before it got lost, but he didn’t have enough funds at the time so he let go. However, the Purple Pearl vanished into thin air afterward, in broad daylight."
"Don’t forget, at that time, no one knew that Yusuf Zuck could become Invisible!"
"So, our deductive conclusion is that the Angel is related to Yusuf Zuck!"
"Impossible, he’s already dead!" Devin King exclaimed, slamming his hand on the table as he stood up.
