Chapter 38: Finn Taylor Didn’t Return Home

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Call the boss over,” ordered the staff as he stripped off his uniform, revealing a muscular and toned body. “Why don’t you look at whose turf this is before trying to stir up trouble?”

The staff thought that the man standing in front of him was crazy. How could he be so daring as to make a din here?

His boss, Roland Kleine, was possibly the only prominent figure in San Francisco that had reaches across half the city. Did he have a death wish?

The staff threw a punch at Finn Taylor; it was full of vitality and strength.

Finn Taylor wasn’t at all interested in getting into a fight with someone like this. It would only lower his class.

Hunter Sullivan immediately rushed forward and grabbed the staff’s fist.

Crunch!

Hunter Sullivan exerted some force, and the bones in the staff’s hand shattered.

“You’re trained?” The staff had not expected them to fight back.

“Oh, who dares to run wild on my territory?” Just then, someone strolled over—it was Roland Kleine.

“Boss, these people are trying to stir up trouble.”

Roland Kleine waved his hand and shook Finn Taylor’s hand. “Who are you? Where are you from? Have I offended you for you to do this?”

“Finn Taylor.” He spat out with disinterest.

Roland Kleine sneered. “Finn Taylor? What an interesting name. There’s someone by the same name in San Francisco as well; he’s the matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family. Have you heard of him? You’d better change your name; it’s a jinx.”

Finn Taylor sneered. “If you’re talking about Yvette Larson’s husband, that’d be me.”

Roland Kleine was in disbelief. “You’re the matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family?”

He scanned Finn Taylor up and down, observing him closely. “So, are you here on behalf of the Larson family?”

Finn Taylor shrugged. “If you don’t cooperate with me and tell me what I want to know, you can tell the person backing you to come on out.”

Roland Kleine was stunned.?‘The person backing me? What does he mean? Even my subordinates don’t know about the person backing me, so how could this useless matrilocal son-in-law know about that?’

“What are you talking about? Why do I not understand anything?”

“Get these people out, and let’s have a chat one-on-one.”

Roland Kleine glanced at the four guardians. “Will they leave as well?”

“Get out.”

The moment Finn Taylor gave his order, the four guardians quickly left the room.

Seeing that the piece of trash was being so casual about it, Roland Kleine was not afraid anymore. He waved his hand, gesturing for all his staff to leave the room.

Then, only Finn Taylor and Roland Kleine were left in the room.

“Where are Swallowtail and Merlin?”

“Are you here for them? How did you know about them? Who are you?” Roland Kleine felt that the situation was incredulous.?‘These are secrets confined to Peregrine Hall. Isn’t the person in front of me the infamous matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family? How could he know about this?’

“You don’t need to know who I am. You just have to hand Merlin and Swallowtail over to me.”

“That’s impossible.”

“Oh?!” Finn Taylor no longer wasted his breath and simply used his fists.

Seeing him using brute force, Roland Kleine nearly burst into laughter.?‘How could such an infamous piece of trash dare to go against me? Does this piece of trash think that I don’t have any martial art skills at all even though I’ve pretty much conquered the entire San Francisco? I shall end his life today.’

But a few seconds later, Roland Kleine could no longer laugh.

A slap to the face.

A punch to the shoulders.

A jab to the temples.

With just three moves, Finn Taylor let Roland Kleine understand what viciousness meant.

At this moment, Roland Kleine wanted nothing more than to kill those people who had spread the rumor that Finn Taylor was just a good-for-nothing matrilocal son-in-law.

‘What nonsense! I’m well-trained and can easily win against someone who has a black belt in Taekwondo, but I don’t even stand a chance against Finn Taylor.’

Finn Taylor’s every move was calculated and was meant to deal a fatal blow.

Roland now felt like he was on the brink of death.

“I’ll hand them over to you. Don’t kill me.” Roland Kleine trembled in fear.

He was truly fearful. He was afraid that Finn Taylor would kill him.

Finn Taylor let go and whistled, and the four guardians rushed in.

“Wampus, follow me. The rest of you, stay.” Finn Taylor brought Wampus alone, allowing Roland Kleine to lead the way.

There was a small bamboo forest behind the main building of Lushwood Resort. Within the forest was a dilapidated shack.

Roland Kleine pushed the door open, only to spot two people tied up inside.

They were Merlin and Swallowtail!

Wampus rushed forward to release the ropes.

After being released, Swallowtail rushed up to grab Roland Kleine’s collar. “Where’s that girl?”

Roland Kleine rubbed his nose without uttering a word.

“Tell me! Where is that girl?”

Roland Kleine replied awkwardly, “She’s dead.”

“You b*stard, did you kill her?”

“I didn’t want to, but she was stubborn. If she had agreed to my demands, she wouldn’t have died.”

At that moment, Swallowtail exploded and flew toward Roland Kleine.

Finn Taylor walked out of the house, and Wampus followed closely behind him.

They heard a fight break out within the room, and there were roars of reluctance.

Then, everything became peaceful once more.

After some time, Merlin and Swallowtail finally emerged. They dropped down on their knees before Finn Taylor.

“Merlin at your service, Master Peregrine.”

“Swallowtail at your service, Master Peregrine.”

Finn Taylor waved his hands, gesturing for them to stand up. “Tell me what happened.”

Swallowtail and Merlin got up, telling him all about what had happened from the very beginning.

After saving Finn Taylor and leaving, Swallowtail had gotten a job as a full-time nanny for an average family.

That family had a daughter whom Swallowtail was close to.

Who would’ve known that Roland Kleine’s men would kidnap that girl?

Swallowtail had chased after her, only to be kidnapped as well.

After learning of Swallowtail’s whereabouts, Merlin rushed over too.

However, Roland Kleine’s reach extended all across San Francisco, and he was too cunning. In the end, Merlin was kidnapped as well.

Fortunately, Finn Taylor had saved them both.

“Merlin, you’ve been protecting me for the past three years, haven’t you?”

“Master Peregrine, I’m really ashamed. I really didn’t know how powerful you are.” Merlin felt a little embarrassed. He had always thought that Finn Taylor was weak and that he had been the one protecting him, but this incident showed him that Finn Taylor wasn’t as simple as he thought him to be.

However, he wasn’t the only one who had been surprised.

Although the four guardians had heard of Finn Taylor’s prowess, his extraordinary martial art skills and ability to save them so efficiently had stupefied them.

As such, the four guardians were committed to Finn Taylor.

“Is Roland Kleine dead?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know who’s backing Roland Kleine?”

“Yes.”

“Wait for me here in three days’ time. I’ll use these three days to wipe out all of Roland Kleine’s power and influence once and for all.”

Merlin and Swallowtail were on their knees. “Yes, Master Peregrine.”

Finn Taylor stayed in Lushwood Resort for the next few days.

…

San Francisco, nightfall.

When Yvette Larson realized that her husband hadn’t returned home, she gritted her teeth and threw his quilt out of the house.
