Chapter 394: Danger
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If not for Lancelot and Guinevere begging him for rcy, Finn Taylor might’ve punished Andre Cavill.
Finn Taylor didn’t have a choice. He had to make sure his n listened to him; otherwise, they would all be in danger.
Finn Taylor had countless n after his life. If he kept such underlings by his side, his life might be in danger at any ti.
Seeing that Lancelot and Guinevere were recovering well, Finn Taylor left.
Just as he got out of the room, he spotted a silhouette in the distance.
Finn Taylor had always felt that man’s presence. Now that he had appeared, he was probably ready to et him.
When he had gotten into a fight with Levi Taylor, it was because of this man that the latter had chosen to give up.
The sa happened this ti. He was going to die, but Mr. Guinn had suddenly chosen to spare his life.
‘It might’ve been a coincidence if it only happened once. But for it to happen twice in a row, sothing is definitely amiss.’?Finn Taylor chased after the man. He wanted to see who had been helping him.
However, the man continued walking without stopping.
Finally, Finn Taylor managed to catch up to the man, but what surprised him was that it was Maximus Brugel!
“Master, why are you here?” He had never expected his master to be the one to save him.
His mother had told him that Maximus Brugel had left and wouldn’t be back. At that ti, Finn Taylor had wondered why his master had left so suddenly, yet that was the other’s right.
Although Maximus Brugel had always been living with the Taylor family, he wasn’t part of the family. Hence, he was free to co and go as he pleased. Besides, Maximus Brugel had only remained with the Taylor family because of his relationship with Finn Taylor’s grandpa. Now that the latter was no longer there, there was no reason for him to stay.
The thought of his grandpa caused his heart to twist up into a bundle.?‘Has Grandpa been found? Is he still alive?’?
“Are you very surprised to see ? Did you think that I had left and wouldn’t co back?”
“That’s what my mother said.”
“Your mother? Are you guys on good terms now?”
“Not exactly, but she did help out when I returned to Chicago to reclaim the Taylor family.”
“Those are your family’s matters. I don’t want to care about your relationship since it has nothing to do with , but I’ve indeed been helping you.”
“Twice?”
“Three tis.”
“Three? Which three?”
‘He helped once with Levi Taylor and another ti with lanie Taylor. When was the third?’?
“Why do you think Lancelot and Guinevere suddenly agreed to help you? They beat you, but they beca so loyal that they were even willing to take their lives for you.”
Finn Taylor ca to a sudden realization.?‘The couple held a grudge against my father, so why did they suddenly stand on my side and help try to take down lanie Taylor? ‘It’s because Maximus Brugel has been helping ! But that’s no surprise. Master is really too powerful—he was one of the two n in charge of protecting Master Peregrine. How many are on his level? There aren’t many in the country, much less Chicago. These professionals love to remain hidden, just like how Lancelot and Guinevere lived in the woods. They would never show up in large cities like Chicago.’?
At that ti, Finn Taylor had already tried narrowing down his suspect list. As Master Peregrine, he would probably recognize such masters at the end of the day—unless they were deliberately trying to conceal their identities.
Yet, no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn’t think of anyone who would help him convince Lancelot and Guinevere. He hadn’t even considered his master because the latter had already left the city.
But now that Maximus Brugel was telling him that he was the one who had done so, everything made sense.
“Master, why are you suddenly interfering in this?”
“Isn’t it obvious that I did it only because soone was about to die?”
‘F*ck!’?
“Master, are you trying to scare ? Why do you think I’m about to die?”
“Scare you? Why would I do that? Tell —do you even know how much danger you’re in? You’re still in such good spirits. I asked you to train well, but you refused to listen to . See, you’re in so much danger now and can be beaten to death at any ti. Are you skilled enough to defend yourself?”
“Master, am I really in grave danger?”
“Do you not think so? Let’s not talk about lanie Taylor or her brother. Those two are obvious candidates that you already know about. You were impressive and managed to take control of the Taylor family, but have you ever thought about who else would fight with you to inherit the family? It’s your younger brother. One of the main reasons I left the Taylor family was that your brother went missing. It’s true that you managed to lock him up, but unfortunately, he’s nowhere to be found now. I’ve been looking around, but my months’ of efforts have been futile so far.”
“Those are the two dangers you know about, but do you know about those lurking around? I rember a woman nad Willow Stone. Did you know that she has an impressive family background? The Stone family is one of the most powerful families in Europe. Unfortunately, they offended the royal family, and it just so happened that a photo of Willow Stone and you was placed in the living room. Do you know that the royal family has set their eyes on you now? That’s why you’ve suddenly got a strange person by your side now—his na is Ginger. I know you were wary of him, but do you know where he is now? He’s missing. You might not believe the last one, but it’s your mother-in-law—Linda Jas.. She’s been getting quite close to lanie Taylor lately.”
