Chapter 826: Chapter 825: For Country, For Family, Whitley Ortiz.

Yusuf Zuck and Lily Case stayed for a meal and left Grey Petty and Ryan Trujillo’s courtyard only after dark.

Grey Petty felt quite melancholic, and Yusuf Zuck also had some heaviness in his heart because he suddenly remembered what he had once said at the Wengquan Mountain Villa about brothers walking together for ten years!

But it hadn’t been ten years yet, and as they walked, they all scattered.

Reality was always cruel, and of course, that was also life. Not only them, many people, many spirited youngsters, classmates, friends, brothers and so on, who used to play together in their innocent years, but as they aged, and faced the realities of society, as they started families and busied themselves with all sorts of mundane tasks, the purest feelings of those days gradually faded!

Of course, perhaps everyone held onto those most beautiful memories in their hearts, but the harsh reality could only push them onto different paths in life!

It wasn’t that Grey Petty’s affection for Yusuf Zuck had waned, but now he had an extra responsibility: to take care of his master.

Yusuf Zuck never asked what Ryan Trujillo’s internal illness was, as it was personal. Grey Petty didn’t mention it, and neither did Ryan Trujillo.

"You’re in a bad mood!" Lily Case, looping her arm through Yusuf Zuck’s, said.

"No, it’s just that our fates have changed, that’s all!" Yusuf Zuck said with a laugh and a shake of his head, not dwelling on it any longer. Instead, he took Lily Case to an inn in Xichuan City, which was where Whitley Ortiz from the Dragon Group’s intelligence department was staying.

To be honest, there had been many unpleasant occurrences between him and Whitley Ortiz in the past, but when Whitley Ortiz resolutely decided to enter the Dragon Gate World to gather intelligence, Yusuf Zuck held her in high regard.

She was a person dedicated to her country and family, a woman who would not be outdone by men, so since he had seen her, Yusuf Zuck saw no reason not to visit and see if there was anything he could help her with.

Although it was dark, the inn in the city was brightly lit and crowded. Many people were drinking and chatting, talking about Capital City, talking about Lily Case, talking about Bryson Campbell.

Yusuf Zuck and Lily Case entered the inn, but as they were dressed ordinarily and no one could discern their cultivation levels, those who were discussing did not realize that two of the people they were talking about were right beside them.

The two of them smiled discreetly and were led by the inn’s waiter to sit not far from Whitley Ortiz’s table.

At Whitley Ortiz’s table were four women, all wearing the same green long skirts, each holding a sword, the highest cultivation among the four being Nascent Soul, and the lowest being Whitley Ortiz at the Late Condensation Period.

The four of them were also talking about Bryson Campbell, discussing recent events!

"Our master has ordered all disciples to gather in Capital City quickly. Everyone, eat up. Once we are done, we travel overnight. Recently, the world has been unsettled, so we must be careful and vigilant on the road."

"Yes, Sixth Sister," Whitley Ortiz and the others nodded, then got up at the same time and headed out!

"Wait a minute!" Just as the four women were passing by Yusuf Zuck, he suddenly called out.

"Hmm?" The four turned around at the same time and looked at Yusuf Zuck warily.

However, as soon as Whitley Ortiz recognized Yusuf Zuck’s face, she was stunned, but then she excitedly shrieked, "Yusuf...you...what are you doing here?"

"You still remember me!" Yusuf Zuck laughed heartily. "I was passing by and came to see you. But I’m heading home now. Do you want to go back? If you do, I can take you with me!"

"Little Fei, who is he?" The Sixth Sister asked warily as she stepped in front of Whitley Ortiz, shielding her.

"He is... he is... he’s my next-door big brother, Brother Yusuf. May we step aside to talk?" Whitley Ortiz, who obviously had not revealed her identity, gave Yusuf Zuck a meaningful glance!

"Sure, let’s step outside to talk," Yusuf Zuck said with a smile, leading the way out.

Whitley Ortiz and her fellow sisters promptly followed, with Lily Case joining them.

A group of people left the inn and then walked into the nearby alley, with Yusuf Zuck and Whitley Ortiz heading deep into the alley while the others waited at the entrance.

"So, are you going back?" Yusuf Zuck whispered.

"I know you’re Bryson Campbell, I’ve heard all about your deeds, and they’re impressive, as always. However, I can’t go back for now. But could you take this notebook back for me to Chief Wang?" Whitley Ortiz said as she reached into the depths of her clothing, fumbling for quite some time before finally pulling out a thread-bound book.

It wasn’t a book, though—it was her diary!

"This contains all the intelligence I’ve gathered, an overview of the Dragon Gate World, the hierarchy of cultivators, comparisons with people with special abilities, and so on, which are very important to us. I heard that you’ve destroyed the Dragon Gate Passage. When I heard the news, I cried tears of joy all night because I’m deeply aware that once the people here enter our world, our own people would become slaves and be ruled by them!"

"I really admire everything you’ve done for your country, thank you!"

"Don’t mention it. Have you analyzed the strength levels here? Then tell me, if I brought a couple of hydrogen bombs, could I wipe out this Mainland?"

"What are you joking about? The people here aren’t that great, but the vast majority are still kind-hearted, simple, good people. They’re intricately connected to us. I’ve even looked through ancient books and found that they too are descendants of the Yan Huang lineage. Now that you’ve severed their connection with the mundane world, they can’t go over there anymore. But how will you get back?"

"I have my ways!" Yusuf Zuck said with a smile as he took the notebook from her hand, then promised, "I’ll definitely deliver it, rest assured!"

"Right, we have the same goal—that they should not go to our world. But you... could you go see my family again?"

"I can’t. If you want to see them, you need to go back yourself," Yusuf Zuck shook his head.

"I just want you to pass a message to them, telling them I’m still alive, living like a deity, able to fly and escape at will!" Whitley Ortiz pleaded with him, her eyes.

"Alright, then how can I prove to them that you’re alive?" Yusuf Zuck countered.

"There are a few diary entries I’ve written at the back of the notebook, just tear those out and give them to my family," she responded.

"Okay, I will deliver them. But which sect are you in now?" Yusuf Zuck asked curiously.

"The Virgo Sect. My master is now the Fairy of Nanguo, and I’m her youngest disciple. She’s asking us to go to Capital City," Whitley Ortiz replied.

"The Virgo Sect, huh? Be careful in the future," Yusuf Zuck didn’t say much more, Whitley Ortiz had chosen her own path!

"Oh, one more thing, have you seen your friend Benedict Cooke?"

"Marco Schmidt?" Yusuf Zuck was startled: "No, I’ve been looking for him too. Have you seen him?" he asked curiously.

"Yes." Whitley Ortiz nodded, her face suddenly flushed as she said, "I saw him two years ago."

"Where did you see him?" Yusuf Zuck immediately inquired.

"Also in Xichuan City, he was with a very powerful expert, traveling southward, seemingly headed for Southern Yunnan in search of something. He saved my life at that time."

"Headed for Southern Yunnan?" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath: "Thanks, I understand!"

"If you see him again, can you relay a message to him for me? Tell him I’ve thought it over, and I agree to what he proposed. I’ll wait for him to come find me." After speaking, Whitley Ortiz blushed and dashed off.

"Uh!" Yusuf Zuck opened his mouth wide: "What the hell is going on? Marco Schmidt and this girl... an affair?"
