Chapter 440 - 439
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.
