Chapter 268 - Ill Intentions

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Henry Money kowtowed repeatedly as he remained on his knees.

‘Master Peregrine! That’s Master Peregrine we’re talking about! Of all people, why did you have to offend Master Peregrine—Finn Taylor? Do you know that you’ve destroyed the entire Money family?’ Henry Money’s eyes were filled with despair. He knew exactly what was going to happen because he had once experienced it.

Forty years ago, the Money family had died out in the very same way. Was history going to repeat itself four decades down the road?

“Leave it to me.” Unexpectedly, Zachary Kennedy—who never got himself involved in physical fights—offered himself up to deal with the Money family. “Henry Money, it’s been 40 years since I’ve made my move. But since I stopped with you, I’ll start again with you.”

Zachary Kennedy flew toward Henry Money.

But right then, Terry Money—who was still lying on the ground—suddenly charged forward, stabbing the dagger in his hand into Finn Taylor’s leg.

Nobody had ever expected that. After all, everyone thought that he was just a coward.

Earlier on, Zachary Kennedy had already said that he would handle the matter. With that, Finn Taylor had turned to leave with the others and had thus not paid any attention to whatever was going on behind him.

Yet, Terry Money had drawn blood from Finn Taylor while Zachary Kennedy was distracted.

With exceptional speed, the latter killed Terry Money with only one punch, yet it was too late. Finn Taylor had already been hurt.

“Master Peregrine…” Zachary Kennedy couldn’t help but feel frantic inwardly. ‘I was the one who created this situation, and I had already said that I’d take care of the issue. Yet, this happened—I’m entirely to be blamed.’ 

“Kill them.”

Not a single member of the Money family survived past that night.

Initially, Finn Taylor had intended on looking for Liam Gillies to get his revenge, but his wound bled nonstop.

Spotting the heartache in his wife’s gaze, he decided to return to San Francisco with her. He would get his revenge at a later time.

The moment they returned to San Francisco, he headed straight for St. Cloud Hospital.

This was meant to be a secret, but he unfortunately bumped into Eleanor Larson, who was at the hospital for a checkup.

The moment she spotted the other, she immediately contacted her cousin, Quince Larson.

…

San Francisco, Quince Larson’s house.

He was completely relaxed, gaming while drinking a cup of coffee.

He hadn’t been to the office in days because of his frustration, and the cause of his frustrations was that the business circle in San Francisco had undergone a drastic change.

A whole bunch of companies had suddenly gone bankrupt, yet the Gold family hadn’t chosen to acquire those businesses. Instead, Yvette Larson’s company had!

‘By right, her company should have nothing—no employees or money! How did she suddenly get so many talented employees?’ Quince Larson had tried to acquire those businesses too and had even splurged on it. But no matter how much he forked out, it was always the Larson Corporation that eventually won the bid.

Just like that, the Larson Corporation became the second-largest company in all of San Francisco, second to only the Gold Corporation.

Even though Quince Larson’s company had ten billion dollars’ worth of assets, they could only be considered the third-largest company in the city. This annoyed Quince Larson greatly, so much so that he stayed home for several days.

Just then, Eleanor Larson arrived. “Aren’t you going to work?”

“No, it’s too annoying.”

“Let me tell you something then—it might cheer you up.”

“Nothing will help.”

“Yvette Larson and Finn Taylor are back from their trip.”

“So what? What does that have anything to do with me? Even if they come back, their company is bigger than mine.”

“Don’t be in such a hurry. Hear me out. The first thing they did upon coming back was visit the hospital, not return home!”

“Why? Is Yvette Larson pregnant?”

“It hasn’t even been a week since they went on their trip. How could she be pregnant?”

“Huh? What’s going on then? Tell me more.”

“Finn Taylor was severely injured. I saw it—he was bleeding profusely.”

“How interesting. I’ll go visit him.” Quince Larson wished to see the world in chaos. Since he had found out about this, he had to take a look at it.

He didn’t intend to do anything. Just seeing Finn Taylor injured would delight him.

…

St. Cloud Hospital.

After getting his injury treated, Finn Taylor had finally stopped bleeding.

He had undergone a thorough checkup, and the doctors hadn’t found any problems either. As such, Finn Taylor decided to leave the hospital.

However, Yvette Larson had been scarred by the events on Cupid Island and insisted on him being hospitalized for an entire month!

‘F*ck! That’s going to be so boring!’ Yet, Finn Taylor had no other choice because his wife had made that request.

He glanced at the four guardians who pretended to look around. Not a single person paid him any heed.

‘It seems like there’s no way out of this.’ With no other choice, Finn Taylor checked himself in.

As the others left, Finn Taylor instructed Hunter Sullivan to settle Jamie Little down. After all, she had done them a huge favor this time. If not for her call to Hunter Sullivan, something bad really might’ve happened.

Finn Taylor wouldn’t shortchange such a good person.

Not long after the group left, Eleanor Larson arrived with her cousin.

“Oh, Finn Taylor. Didn’t you go on a trip to take wedding photos? How did you get injured?”

“Sigh, look at you. Your trip nearly turned into one for a funeral shoot.” The cousins started saying these nasty things the moment they entered.

“Scram!” Yvette Larson was a gentle and meek woman, but she’d been driven to her limits. Her cousins had really crossed the line.

“Yvette Larson, you’re going overboard. We’re a family. Eleanor and I specially came down to visit Finn Taylor because we heard that he got injured.”

“That’s right. I never thought that you were such a petty person, Yvette. We’re here out of goodwill, but you’re not even grateful toward us.”

“Look, we’re the first that came to visit you after something happened. That’s what family is for.”

“Yes, you must cherish your family. If Finn Taylor dies, who else would be able to attend his funeral as family? We are the only ones who’d be able to do so!”

Unable to tolerate it anymore, Yvette Larson picked up the IV drip stand and whacked her cousins. She knew full well just how much Finn Taylor had sacrificed to save her. She would tolerate insults hurled at her but not at her husband.

Moreover, it was Quince Larson and Eleanor Larson who were the culprits. Everyone knew exactly just how her cousins were, and it was clear they weren’t here with any good intentions. In that case, there was no need for them to remain here.

It irked her to see them.
