The Petty Family in the capital had also been shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere these past few days, the Meskill Family was too ruthless, ruthless to the point where every member of the Petty Family felt a chill creeping up from their feet. The matter was under investigation, but the final result was likely to be inconclusive, or perhaps might end with the label of a terrorist slapped on and concluded as such. The Meskill Family was a behemoth, so immense that it could find an endless number of scapegoats, allowing them to ultimately come out spotless. It was when the Petty family members were preparing to head south back to the harbor that Yusuf Zuck appeared out of nowhere in Grandfather Petty’s study at dusk, during the time when every household’s cooking smoke was rising. Grandfather Petty was so startled by Yusuf Zuck’s sudden arrival that he nearly had a heart attack, but having weathered great storms, he managed to calm down after taking several deep breaths. Yusuf Zuck had lost weight, to the point where he was skin and bones, his eye sockets deeply sunken, and his beard unshaved, giving off an air of immense world-weariness. In his hand, he was holding the legendary Flying Sword, and when he looked directly at Grandfather Petty, the latter dared not meet his eyes. Because at that moment, Grandfather Petty felt as if there was a huge beast inside Yusuf Zuck’s body, one that might leap out to devour everyone at any time. "I need all the information on the Meskill family, where they live, what they look like, and I need it fast," Yusuf Zuck’s voice was dry and hoarse, sounding eerie but chillingly cold. Grandfather Petty suddenly realized that Yusuf Zuck had changed; he seemed to have lost all human emotions, looking more like a wolf, like a machine, his eyes filled with murderous intent and the aura of death. "Okay, I’ll get it ready right away, it’ll be done soon," Grandfather Petty immediately went out and soon returned. "Yusuf Zuck, I don’t know what has happened, but please maintain your rationality. The Meskill Family Mansion now supposedly has the legendary Elder Mu present, so I advise you to act prudently, to hold back for now, and wait for the opportune moment." Yusuf Zuck silently watched Grandfather Petty, neither speaking nor offering any response! Grandfather Petty sighed deeply, something must have happened during these days after the plane crash, right? It was said that there was a woman on the plane with him and since he didn’t die, obviously that woman did, which would explain why he had become this way. About half an hour later, Edison Petty, also known as Third Master Petty, came in with a thick file bag, carefully, not daring to greet with a smile as before, but very solemnly placed the file bag on the desk: "All of the Meskill family members’ information is here, men, women, old, and young alike, all with photos, detailed addresses, totaling sixty-one people." "Thank you." After picking up the file bag, Yusuf Zuck walked out and vanished into thin air. The father and son were flabbergasted. The sixty-one members of the Meskill family, men, women, old and young, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, and children, all were there in the files; the Petty Family had been efficient. Each person had a photograph, which was attached to a printed paper listing phone numbers, detailed addresses, places of employment, and even the colors of the cars they drove were noted, nothing overlooked! Standing on a building rooftop, Yusuf Zuck moved several profiles of the Meskill family elders to the back and then pulled out a picture and file of one of the younger members of the Meskill family. This person was named Vincenzo Meskill, ranking seventh in age among the young disciples of the Meskill Family and was the chairman of an investment company. After carefully verifying Vincenzo Meskill’s address, Yusuf Zuck leaped from rooftop to rooftop and, a moment later, arrived at a villa complex, standing quietly in front of a villa, waiting in silence. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novel fire.net At 8:30 PM, Vincenzo Meskill drove home with his wife and their twin children after having dinner out, the family of four chatting and laughing. And as the family of four got out of the car, Yusuf Zuck made his move, silently swooping in front of Vincenzo Meskill. One strike, a head rolled, in front of his wife and children, Vincenzo Meskill’s head was sent flying into the air. His wife and children didn’t see the person, but they saw their father or husband’s head gone, and all three screamed and collapsed to the ground in shock. A strike to kill, he swiftly fled the scene. The first of the Meskill family, dead! He didn’t kill women and children. Although he had lost his reason, women and children were outside his range of attack. At nine o’clock in the evening, in the private room of a nightclub, in the midst of people’s revelry, inexplicably, a man from the Meskill family named Brycen Meskill was instantly beheaded. Nine-thirty in the evening... Ten-thirty... Ten-forty... Eleven... One after another, members of the Meskill family began to die, and there was only one method of death for them: decapitation! After Yusuf Zuck had killed nine people and reached the tenth person’s residence, he found it was empty. The Meskill family had realized that someone had begun a massacre against them, quickly reacting and notifying all those they could to gather at the Meskill Family Mansion. Although there were sixty-one people on the list, this number included women, whether they were Meskill daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, or children. So even though Yusuf Zuck had only killed nine people, he still completed a small portion of his plan. These nine men were significant figures in the Meskill family, controlling various resources. After searching for three more targets without finding anyone, Yusuf Zuck decisively gave up on continuing his search. Meanwhile, sirens were blaring throughout the city at night, with police everywhere. At one o’clock in the morning, Yusuf Zuck arrived at Meskill Family Alley, where not only were Meskill family members present but there were also several police vehicles flashing their lights. The area had been declared a forbidden zone, and any slight disturbance would probably result in a multitude of people rushing out. Yusuf Zuck stood on the roof of a distant courtyard, invisible. His objectives for the evening were not yet accomplished, so he leaped toward the Meskill Family Mansion. He knew there were masters there, but he still wanted to go! "Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" Although his movements were light, his leap to the roof of the Meskill residence still garnered attention. A lean old man, dressed in a Tang suit, swiftly jumped up, his piercing gaze scrutinizing everything on the roof and the surrounding area. Invisible, Yusuf Zuck stood only six or seven meters away from the old man, trying to regulate his breathing as much as possible to make no sound whatsoever. This lean old man must be the legendary Elder Mu. Yusuf Zuck didn’t dare use telekinesis to probe the man’s Dantian, but the vast aura emanating from him proved he had transcended Truth-Insight and reached the supreme level of Fasting. The Meskill family had many retainers who secured the compound tightly; he even saw people armed with crossbows and carrying hunting rifles. They too were anxiously scanning the rooftops for any suspicious targets. There were many Meskill family members, fifty to sixty people gathered in various chambers—some were crying, others too frightened to make a sound. Elder Mu stood on the rooftop for a full fifteen minutes before frowning in silence. He had heard the noises, but there was no one there, so he was also on edge. According to intelligence from various sources, it had been confirmed that Yusuf Zuck was dead, but the assassination and beheadings that occurred this evening had shocked all the Meskills because no one had seen the assassin. A few witnesses claimed that inexplicably, without seeing anyone, the heads of Meskill family members seemed to move on their own! This kind of situation could only mean one thing: The assassin was invisible! And the only one capable of invisibility was Yusuf Zuck! Therefore, the Meskill family suddenly realized that Yusuf Zuck wasn’t dead; he had come for vengeance! PS: I need to go to the city tomorrow to take care of some business, a journey of several hundred miles, so I will be back late in the evening. Therefore, there will be three updates tomorrow and four updates the day after tomorrow. Thank you all for your support, and thank you for your deep love for Ruth.
