n“Master Peregrine, we’ve caught them.” Even though Pukwudgie and the rest already had the culprits, they couldn’t help but feel anxious.

n

n

nMerlin stepped forward. “Master Peregrine, this was my fault alone. Please don’t blame any of the others.”

n

n

n

n

nFinn Taylor ignored both of them and turned to the five beggars. “Who was it? Who instructed you to stop Yvette Larson’s car?”

n

n

nFinn Taylor had a photographic memory. He was sure that he had never seen these five beggars before. This meant that they bore no grudges against him.

n

n

nIt seemed like there was only one possibility—they had been hired by someone.

n

n

n“Ha, who are you? You’re just a useless matrilocal son-in-law. How dare you try to make us talk?” Their boss was stubborn.

n

n

n

n

nFinn Taylor simply picked up his dagger and ran it across that person’s neck.

n

n

nAs that beggar’s blood dripped down, he quickly lost all signs of life.

n

n

nAt this sight, it wasn’t just the four other beggars who were stunned. Even the four guardians and the rest were shell-shocked.

n

n

nMaster Peregrine—who had always been warm and even allowed the Larson family to bully him—was actually such a brutal man. As long as it didn’t involve his wife, Finn Taylor turned a blind eye to it. However, these beggars had chosen to help someone else hurt Yvette Larson.

n

n

n

n

nThat left Finn Taylor with no other choice.

n

n

n“I’ll talk. It was a woman.” One of the beggars was so frightened that he had peed himself. He quickly told Finn Taylor everything he knew.

n

n

n“A woman?” An image flashed past his mind. ‘Eleanor Larson? Hilary Stone? Or someone else from the Larson family? Who was it?’

n

n

n“Oh right. That woman isn’t young, but she was very well-dressed and maintained her appearance well too.”

n

n

nBased on this description, Finn Taylor came to the conclusion that it had been Hilary Stone. ‘Is this revenge for rejecting her? Fine! Great!’

n

n

n“Except for him, throw everyone off the cliff.”

n

n

n

n

nThe other three beggars’ faces turned ashen the moment they heard that. They begged Finn Taylor to forgive them.

n

n

nThey had been driven into a corner. In fact, they hadn’t even hurt Yvette Larson.

n

n

nBut Finn Taylor remained indifferent. ‘That’s right. They didn’t hurt Yvette Larson, and they should be thankful that they didn’t. Otherwise, they won’t be the only ones dead. I’d have killed their families’ ten generations!’

n

n

nMerlin knew in his heart that he had committed a grave mistake this time. Of course, he wasn’t going to let Master Peregrine handle such trivial matters personally.

n

n

nHe grabbed hold of those three people and brought them to the edge of the Pacific Heights cliff. Then, he really threw them off the cliff.

n

n

nThe only beggar who had spoken up couldn’t help but feel like a stone was weighing down on his heart. He felt eternally grateful that he had made the right decision to speak up earlier; otherwise, he’d have been thrown off the cliff as well.

n

n

nIf one was thrown off this hill, death was certain.

n

n

n“Horned Serpent, have you gotten the surveillance footage?”

n

n

n

n

n“Yes, I found it.”

n

n

n“How many hours passed after they stopped Yvette Larson’s car until I appeared?”

n

n

n“One hour and 16 minutes.” Horned Serpent had a good memory when it came to numbers.

n

n

n“Alright, one hour and 16 minutes. From now on, stab him once every minute. I want him dead in exactly one hour and 16 minutes. If he dies any earlier or later than that, just wait and see what I’ll do to you.” Finn Taylor handed the dagger to Merlin before heading out.

n

n

nHe had no interest in dealing with a nobody. The one he wanted revenge on was Hilary Stone.

n

n

n‘How dare that woman set her sights on Yvette? Since she dared to do that, she’d better be prepared to bear the consequences.’

n

n

nThere was a club in San Francisco named ‘Red Sage Club.’ It was named after the herb that was said to heal one’s body, but everyone knew very well what kind of dealings this club was involved in.

n

n

nFinn Taylor walked straight into the club.

n

n

n“Sir, are you a member here?” Seeing that Finn Taylor hadn’t registered at the front desk and was heading right in, the receptionist tried to stop him.

n

n

nBut the manager stopped her before she could step forward. “Shut up.”

n

n

nThe receptionist glanced at her manager in bewilderment. “Ma’am, he doesn’t have a member card. He shouldn’t be allowed in.”

n

n

nThe receptionist was confused as to why her manager had stopped her. What she didn’t know was that her manager was experiencing a surge of emotions in her heart.

n

n

nJust a few days ago, the manager had been at the bank and had personally witnessed Finn Taylor taking out his Peregrine card. She hadn’t said a word about that incident to anyone.

n

n

n

n

n‘What a joke. If I said anything about that, I would probably be dead by now. But I never expected to see that legendary Peregrine card holder in Red Sage Club! However, what is such a big shot doing here?’ She didn’t dare to go up to stop Finn Taylor. In fact, she even arranged for her subordinates to stay out of his way.

n

n

nDue to this, Finn Taylor headed right up to the top floor without being stopped.

n

n

nThe elevators didn’t go up to the top floor. The elevators could only bring guests to the second floor.

n

n

nBut there weren’t even stairs from there to the top floor.

n

n

nHowever, Finn Taylor didn’t care about that. As he walked out of the elevator, he passed through a long corridor before finally stopping in front of a bonsai plant.

n

n

nHe moved the pot.

n

n

nCrank! Crank! Crank!

n

n

nA massive hidden door appeared in front of Finn Taylor.

n

n

nHe opened it to find stairs in front of him.

n

n

nHe walked up the stairs, finally arriving at the top floor. Then, he kicked each door open.

n

n

nAs each door was kicked open, unspeakable scenes came into sight one after another.

n

n

nThere was a flurry of curses and tons of people kicking up a fuss, but Finn Taylor ignored them all.

n

n

nFinally, he kicked open the last door.

n

n

nIn there was the protagonist he was looking for.

n

n

nThe moment Quinn Larson caught sight of Finn Taylor, he was so frightened that he fell from the bed. ‘Finn Taylor has found out about my secret! What if Finn Taylor tells others about this? What will I do?’

n

n

nAt this point in time, he felt utterly humiliated.

n

n

nYet, Finn Taylor acted as though he hadn’t seen Quinn Larson’s expression at all. He walked forward, grabbed hold of the naked Quinn Larson, and dragged the latter out as though he was dragging the corpse of a dead dog out of the room.

n

n

nHe then dragged Quinn Larson into the elevator and out of the club.

n

n

nWhen Finn Taylor arrived at the front desk, the receptionist nearly let out a scream, but she managed to cup her mouth.

n

n

nTo be honest, the receptionist still had no clue as to why her manager was behaving so strangely. ‘If word gets out about this, Red Sage Club is done for. In the past, everyone has always settled their grievances within Red Sage club itself!’
