CHAPTER 1557: CHAPTER 1577: SLAVES

In the darkness of the night, several streams of light flashed by, as Yusuf Zuck set out overnight for East Departure City with Pier, Broderick Hopkins, the Saint Master, Dahei, and the Santiago couple.

East Departure City was the city where Robert Baxter, the Eastern Heavenly Emperor, resided. The Eastern Heavenly Emperor was once renowned as one of the five Great Emperors in the world and the chief disciple of Kenneth Melton, the Tao Ancestor.

Yusuf Zuck held a grudge against all the Heavenly Emperors since then. So, when Mrs. Santiago and Old Santiago asked for help, he conveniently used this opportunity to kill.

East Departure City was far from Pier Dojo. After traveling overnight, they finally reached the outskirts of the city after daybreak.

"It’s daylight now. Should we wait until the night after tomorrow to take action, or do we act now?" Pier revealed his bloody side at this moment. This guy was Yusuf Zuck’s most loyal servant and was even more bloodthirsty than Yusuf Zuck.

"Act now." Yusuf Zuck knew he couldn’t delay any longer. Who knew what Cohen Mata had done to Evie Santiago? The sooner they rescued her, the less harm she would suffer.

"Dahei, Light (the Saint Master’s nickname), Broderick Hopkins, you three stay outside the city, ready to assist at any time. Also, Brother Santiago, you stay outside too. Your presence inside is not needed; Sis and I and Pier are enough!" Yusuf Zuck began to plan. This time, he intended to strike quickly and retreat swiftly. If he caught the opponent off guard, they could save Evie, kill those necessary, and escape quickly, leaving Kenneth Melton spitting blood.

"Yes, we’ll keep an eye on the situation inside and provide support when needed!" Broderick Hopkins immediately responded.

"Hmm." Yusuf Zuck rubbed Dahei’s head and then quickly headed into the city with Pier and Mrs. Santiago.

There were no guards at the city gate, and no entry fee was required. People could come and go freely through the gates.

However, there was a rule in East Departure City that no one could fly.

To avoid alarming anyone, Yusuf Zuck didn’t fly in the city either. Instead, he hurried through the low-level streets, moving swiftly enough that many people didn’t even get a clear look at them before they were out of sight.

Very soon, they arrived at the largest residence in East Departure City. However, when the three reached the residence, they were astonished, for today Robert Baxter’s mansion was adorned with colorful flags and bustling guests, as if a wedding was taking place!

"Pier, find out what’s going on!" Yusuf Zuck was in no rush. At this moment, he became unusually calm, ensuring every step was carefully planned without any oversight.

Pier immediately left and returned a moment later, whispering, "Today is Cohen Mata’s wedding day; he’s getting married!"

"What?" Yusuf Zuck was startled, and Mrs. Santiago’s face turned pale, realizing her daughter was being forced into a prestigious family?

"But it seems the bride isn’t a Santiago but rather the daughter of the Green Cloud Heavenly Emperor!" Pier said, catching his breath.

"Damn it, why didn’t you say so earlier!" Yusuf Zuck glared at him, but after speaking, his heart clenched even more. If the bride wasn’t Evie Santiago, she was probably being used for amusement! Who knows if she was alive?

Mrs. Santiago was already trembling all over; her daughter wasn’t even the main wife!

"By the way, boss, I got these!" Just as Yusuf Zuck was contemplating whether to directly break in or find a way to sneak in, Pier, like a magic trick, suddenly pulled out three red invitations!

"Uh? How did you get these?" Yusuf Zuck asked in surprise.

"I stole them, duh! I’m a Dao Ancestor, right? Stealing a few things from a welcoming servant isn’t that hard, is it?" Pier said with a pout.

"Well done. Once we go in, watch for my signal and show what you can do!" Yusuf Zuck patted Pier on the back and strode forward.

Outside the gates of Robert Baxter’s mansion, guests were arriving in an unending stream. Indeed, many welcoming servants were present at the entrance. All guests would hand over their invitations before entering the residence.

Pier stole the invitations from one of these welcoming servants, unnoticed, given that he was a Dao Ancestor and Robert Baxter was merely a Heavenly Emperor. Pier could be considered on equal footing with Kenneth Melton.

The three were received as esteemed guests, politely ushered in by one of the servants. The servants only looked at the invitations and didn’t recognize the people. After all, this was Robert Baxter’s mansion; who would dare sneak in? They did not perceive any danger, as there was none. Even today, Kenneth Melton, the Tao Ancestor, was expected to attend.

Once inside, Yusuf Zuck and his group blended seamlessly with the crowd of numerous guests.

The Robert Baxter mansion was layered with prohibition formation methods, so from outside, divine sense could not be used. If one used divine sense to peer inside, it would certainly alert those within, and even then, one might not be able to see the interior situation.

Now that they were inside, Yusuf Zuck had fewer concerns, so as he circled among the crowd, he already began to use divine consciousness to cover the entire Robert Baxter mansion!

Of course, as he enveloped the whole mansion, several divine consciousnesses immediately sensed him. However, as these divine consciousnesses sensed him, he suddenly pointed towards the northwest, his face dark as he said, "Pier, Sis, there is a small courtyard to the northwest. There’s a woodshed in the yard, and inside is a girl locked with chains. It should be Evie. Pier, take Sis to save her!"

"Understood, master!" Pier suddenly lifted Mrs. Santiago, then leapt like a hawk from the crowd towards the northwest!

At this moment, the crowd burst into an uproar. Who was this person, boldly acting in Robert Baxter’s mansion?

At the same time, a dozen or so people rushed out from the grand hall of the Heavenly Emperor’s mansion, having sensed Yusuf Zuck’s divine consciousness earlier.

As these people emerged, Robert Baxter leapt into the air, locking his gaze onto Yusuf Zuck!

Following Robert Baxter’s gaze, everyone spotted Yusuf Zuck in the crowd. Yusuf Zuck had not disguised himself today and appeared in his true form. However, no one expected him to be there, so no one recognized him at first!

Yet now, as they carefully observed, everyone was horrified. Wasn’t this Old Devil Yusuf? What was he doing here, among their guests?

"Master Yusuf, a distinguished guest such as you, we have failed to welcome you properly; please forgive us!" Robert Baxter’s eyes gleamed as he spoke, but unexpectedly, Old Devil Yusuf showed up at his son’s wedding, so as he made his bow, he had already sent a message to his master, Kenneth Melton, the Tao Ancestor.

Yusuf Zuck understood their ploy and knew the moment he was exposed, swift action was required. So he snorted coldly, "Distinguished guest? Hardly. Today I came to demand a reckoning from you." With that, he looked at the few individuals standing at the front of the main hall, all of whom he recognized as the Heavenly Emperors of yore. Among them, he recognized one most clearly, the Central Azure Cloud, Javier Higgins, and even saw the Thunderbolt Boy behind him.

Javier Higgins was here because of the marriage alliance with Robert Baxter!

With a "whoosh," as Yusuf Zuck finished speaking, Pier returned with two women in his arms, landing beside Yusuf Zuck and saying, "Master, it’s done, but the girl is already incoherent and has been severely mistreated!" Pier also looked full of indignation. Evie Santiago, having fallen into the hands of a libertine, could hardly have had a good end. Surviving was already a stroke of luck, but as for her chastity, it was all but gone!

Just as Yusuf Zuck’s temples throbbed with anger, a young man clad in a red robe and adorned with green drapery shouted from in front of the grand hall, "Father, those people have taken my female slave. They came to steal her!"

Roaring, Yusuf Zuck exploded in wrath upon hearing the young man’s words: "Female slave, what a female slave indeed! Robert Baxter, you captured my niece, allowed your son to defile her, and made her a slave. Fine, fine, today I shall kill your entire family. Not one shall live!"
