Chapter 188 - Lashing

Finn Taylor made a call to Andre Cavill to catch someone for him—Stephen Turner.

Andre Cavill got to work right away. This was the first mission Finn Taylor ever gave him—he had to complete it perfectly.

Not long after, Andre Cavill made a call to say that he had caught the man. As such, Finn Taylor headed out to meet Stephen Turner.

However, he bumped into someone at the foot of Pacific Heights—Frank Lucas. The latter had a smile plastered on his face. “I’ve already done as you asked, Mr. Taylor.”

What Frank Lucas was referring to was naturally the matter of driving the Jensen family to their grave.

. 

Over the past few days, Frank Lucas had gone crazy and gone all out against the Jensen family. He couldn’t be bothered about how well-known and respected Aaron Jensen, Gregory Jensen, or Kelly Jensen were in San Francisco. He had beaten all of them up.

Then, he even beat up those who dared to work with the Jensen family.

Due to this, the Jensen family began to crumble.

Of course, the Gold family played a crucial role too. They made a sudden announcement that they were going to end their project with the Jensen family, and Third Master Gold even said that he’d never deal with Aaron Jensen ever again!

Although no one knew what had happened, anyone sharp or acute enough had chosen to protect themselves. One by one, they chose to end their projects with the Jensen family too.

Within a week’s time, the Jensen family had neither connections, money, nor projects. While they weren’t officially bankrupt, it wouldn’t be long before that happened.

But nobody was sure why this was happening.

“Mm, you did a good job.” Finn Taylor hadn’t paid too much attention to this matter, but Frank Lucas had already settled it, and he probably wouldn’t lie to him on that front.

“Mr. Taylor, I’m sorry that I failed to recognize you the previous time. Why don’t I treat you to a meal?”

Finn Taylor looked at Frank Lucas. ‘The latter is terribly efficient. Although the Jensen family means nothing to me, they’re still a prominent family. Yet, Frank Lucas took less than a week to take them down. ‘It seems like this is someone I can train. Since Frank Lucas is already treating me to a meal and has already apologized, I will give him a chance.’

As such, he agreed to it.

“This is the address for tonight, Mr. Taylor.”

Finn Taylor glanced at the invitation and casually put it into his pocket. “Alright, I’ll make a note.”

Frank Lucas was sharp. Upon seeing that the other seemed busy, he quickly said that he’d arrange the meal before leaving.

After arriving at the bar, Finn Taylor headed into the innermost private room that wasn’t usually open to the public.

Not just anyone was allowed into the room.

Stephen Turner was still sipping on his tea at home, waiting for Yvette Larson to show up. Once that happened, he wouldn’t just have a beauty by his side, but he would even get his hands on much more money.

But just then, a group of men in black bundled him up and took him away.

By the time he awoke, he was already in a private room with Andre Cavill sitting right in front of him.

Stephen Turner knew of Andre Cavill.

Gentle Breeze Bar had recently earned a name for itself. Word had gotten around about the bar’s boss—Andre Cavill—taking down dozens of men all by himself. Yet, Stephen Turner had never expected the bar’s boss to look for him.

“Brother Andre, I haven’t offended you, have I? Have you gotten the wrong person?” Stephen Turner gave it some thought. ‘I’ve never gotten in the way of Andre Cavill. The latter probably has the wrong person. As such, I will probably be released once we talk things through. After all, we’re all businessmen. There’s no point in offending a rich and prominent figure.’

What Stephen Turner had never expected was Andre Cavill ignoring him. All the latter did was sharpen his knife.

After a few hours, the knife in his hands had almost become the sharpest dagger in the world.

‘What’s he trying to do? Even if he wants to make trouble for me, he should say something. If that’s not what he’s after, then why did he bring me here?’ Just as Stephen Turner was racking his brains for an explanation, the door opened.

Finn Taylor strolled over, and he scanned the room briefly.

Andre Cavill immediately put away his dagger and stood up.

Finn Taylor walked up to Stephen Turner. “You’re Stephen Turner, right?”

“Who are you?” Stephen Turner was confused. ‘Who’s this?’

“Finn Taylor.”

Stephen Turner was stunned for a moment before he burst out into laughter. ‘This… What a joke! I thought I offended some prominent figure, but it turns out that it’s just this piece of trash—the most famous matrilocal son-in-law of San Francisco.’

“What, are you trying to take revenge for your wife, Finn Taylor? Sigh, I didn’t even do anything. It’s just something we do in this industry. Isn’t it only right for her to give something up in exchange for money? Besides, she’s just a woman. I’ll never believe that she’s done nothing to get to her position today. I heard that Hunter Sullivan immediately went to the Larson family’s residence to terminate their contract the moment she resigned. Do you think there’s really nothing between your wife and Hunter Sullivan? Hahaha!”

Stephen Turner was bent over in laughter.

Andre Cavill, on the other hand, was clutching his temples. ‘There is no lack of fools in this world, but someone as stupid as Stephen Turner is really a first for me. If he had apologized and begged for his life, Finn Taylor might’ve spared him. But now, that is no longer an option.’

Just as expected, Finn Taylor landed a vicious punch on Stephen Turner’s face.

A few teeth flew out of the latter’s mouth, and then Finn Taylor punched the other right in the chest.

A loud crackling sound of bones breaking could be heard.

Finn Taylor landed one punch after another on Stephen Turner’s eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. The latter was now bleeding from all orifices.

“I don’t want to see him on this earth ever again.” Finn Taylor rubbed his hands and patted the dust off his clothes before heading out.

Andre Cavill strolled up to Stephen Turner. By now, the latter was already terrified.

“Since you’re going to die, I might as well tell you everything. Finn Taylor might be a useless matrilocal son-in-law in your eyes, but he’s actually my boss. In fact, he has another identity that would probably scare you to death if I were to tell you about it. He’s Master Peregrine of Peregrine Hall!”

The moment those words were spoken, Stephen Turner’s heart started pounding even more rapidly. His knees then buckled, and he dropped to the ground.

He had died from shock!

Andre Cavill checked Stephen Turner’s breathing and couldn’t help but feel speechless when he realized that the latter was dead. ‘He died just like that—how lame! But since Master Peregrine has already given his orders, I can’t let this man remain comfortable even after death.’

As such, he whipped the other’s corpse over and over again.
