Chapter 665 - 664: Taking the Sea Route [Fourth Update]
Meanwhile, in Jizhou City, at the Higgins King’s Royal Palace!
A court elder dressed in red and yellow robes had a sullen face. Just now, he had already combed through the entire Jizhou City but failed to find Yusuf Zuck’s two women.
What was most troubling was that no one knew where Yusuf Zuck’s two women had gone. They seemed to have vanished into thin air after one night’s sleep.
This court elder was quite certain that Yusuf Zuck should still be in the direction of the capital city, so it was simply not possible for him to have sent word ahead, as he had been ordered and then had rushed here nonstop. So even if someone wanted to send a message, there wouldn’t have been enough time, right? Could any "thousand-mile horse" or "ten-thousand-mile pigeon" be faster than him?
But those two women had just disappeared.
Queen Skye Torres, along with the cane-wielding Grandmother Liu, were also sitting in the Palace Hall.
"Are you really clueless about where they went? They are people from your own household!" The Golden Pill elder asked gravely, as if the loss of the two women was somehow the Queen’s and Grandmother Liu’s fault—like they had hidden them away.
"I’ve already said it, if I don’t know, then I don’t know. What, are you going to blame my Family Head now? Whoever you are, roll back to where you came from! This is the Higgins Royal Palace, not your place to run riot," Grandmother Liu snapped, slamming her cane down, and a burst of Gang Qi suddenly made the teacups on the table in front of the Golden Pill elder buzz and ring!
"Hmph, the Iron Pen Judge will be here soon. You better think about how you’re going to explain yourselves to him!" The Golden Pill elder’s mouth twitched. Being called a nobody was a great shame, yet he suppressed his anger, not letting it show, his frustration sinking into his Dantian.
Of course, his anger subsided, and he no longer glared nor dared to confront them further, as he was no match for Grandmother Liu. He was just flexing his status and authority!
