Chapter 409 - 408: No One Can Save Him
"Old Master, I’m here." A middle-aged man in his fifties, with a slightly bald head, arrived at the Meskill patriarch’s home. He was dressed in an ordinary down jacket and wore a cap, looking no different from an average Joe.
However, his true identity was that of the leader of a special operations group, a position of very high rank.
He was Jace Berger, a protege of the Meskill family, planted by them in the world of officialdom.
"Old Master, please accept my condolences," Jace Berger said soberly, without waiting for the Meskill patriarch to speak. As the leader of the special operations group, he had received the news of Lian Meskill’s death as soon as it had happened.
"Then, tell me, who is Yusuf Zuck?" the Meskill patriarch asked with a piercing gaze.
"Yes," Jace Berger immediately snapped to attention and replied, "Yusuf Zuck, originally from Shandong Yanggu, possesses the ability to control objects with telekinesis and has somehow obtained an extremely sharp Short Sword. Now, he is capable of using the Flying Sword technique to kill. One of our team leaders previously attempted to recruit him; he’s an external member of our group. But rest assured, Old Master, his contract has just been terminated."
"Moreover, this man is very dangerous. Our operations group might not have enough manpower; several are not in the capital as they are out on assignments."
"I’m aware of that. Even Mortimer Lopez was killed by him; quite formidable indeed!" The Meskill patriarch let out a cold laugh.
"Since ancient times, heroes have broken the law with their martial prowess; once free from shackles and endowed with strength, they try to test the law with their bodies. Although such a person may be extraordinary, he has already become uncontrollable. You go and make arrangements, start with the normal legal procedures. We, the Meskills, must not act like him and break the law. My family has been based in Huaxia, and we are law-abiding citizens!"
"Yes." After answering, Jace Berger hurriedly left, understanding the patriarch’s intent. They were to test the waters with normal legal means first to see if Yusuf Zuck would dare to resist. If he did resist, he would not just be hostile to the Meskill family, one of the four major clans, but to the nation itself. Thus, the patriarch’s strategy was shrewd, avoiding difficulties for related parties while distancing the family from the situation.
