That woman was terribly vicious and aimed straight at Finn Taylor's most vulnerable part. If that woman managed to kick him right there, Finn Taylor would probably no longer be able to have any children.
Of course, that wasn't going to happen.
Finn Taylor slapped that woman, throwing her more than ten meters away.
Because she had been struck down, her hair was in a mess, and her face was now swollen.
“You… How dare you hit me?” That woman glared at Finn Taylor as though she was crazy. She couldn't believe that the latter had struck her!
“I'll hit you if I want to. So what?” Finn Taylor sneered inwardly. 'I'm Master Peregrine. So what if I hit you?'
“Who dared to hit my woman?” A ferocious-looking man rushed up just then; he was a muscular man who looked well-built. His name was Scar Ross, and he was rather well-known in the marché.
It had been years since he had started collecting protection fees from the shops around the area. Out of fear, many shopkeepers had chosen to pay him.
That was why everyone was terrified of him.
Because they had seen this fierce woman with Scar Ross, they couldn't help but think the worst of her. Yet, nobody dared to utter a thing.
“Your woman? Aren't you going to do anything about her now that she's bullying someone?”
Scar Ross glared at Finn Taylor. “Do you have a death wish? How dare you hit my woman?”
With that, Scar Ross threw a punch in Finn Taylor's direction. Of course, he was no match for the latter.
Finn Taylor returned a light punch, but that was enough to send Scar Ross flying all the way back. The latter landed right next to a trash can along the road.
Finn Taylor then walked up and picked the kneeling woman up. “Tell me what happened.”
This woman was completely scared stiff and stuttered as she glanced at Scar Ross.
“I'm only giving you one chance. If you want to get your revenge, you'd better talk now. Otherwise, I'm leaving. You can deal with them yourself.”
After giving it some thought, the gaze in that woman's eyes hardened. 'Yes, he's my only chance. If I don't tell them the truth now, I'll probably have to take the blame for this for the rest of my life.'
“S-she stole from me. When I caught her in the act, she smashed her phone on the ground, saying that I was the one who did it. She even said that I was maligning her!”
Finn Taylor turned to that vicious woman. “Is that true?”
The vicious woman spat on the ground. “Nonsense. I'm Scar Ross's woman. Do you think I'd steal money? B*tch, you were the one who stole it. After I caught you in the act, you even smashed my phone and maligned me! Why don't you take a look at what you're wearing and what I'm wearing? You're just a cheap woman who came from the countryside. How dare you accuse me?”
Finn Taylor glanced at that shop and shouted at the timid owner, “Do you have surveillance cameras?”
The owner was thrown into a frenzy, and he glanced at Scar Ross. As he pretended to walk out of the shop, he knocked against the computer, causing it to come crashing down on the ground. “No… Not anymore.”
Everyone saw exactly what had happened. It was impossible for a shop not to have any surveillance cameras.
The owner had clearly destroyed all footage because he was afraid of retaliation from Scar Ross. But now that the surveillance cameras had indeed been damaged, it would be difficult to put things right.
“That's alright. Don't we have witnesses? Hey, you were in that shop just now, weren't you? Why don't you tell us who was the one stealing?” Scar Ross stood up and pointed at the owner.
Naturally, that owner was scared stiff from Scar Ross's interrogation.
He pointed at the honest woman. “Diane Taylor, you've been working in our shop for several years. I never thought that you'd steal from us!”
The shop owner had just admitted that it was Diane Taylor who had stolen from the shop! However, everyone knew full well that it wasn't the truth. 'It's clear that you're only maligning Diane Taylor out of fear of Scar Ross.'
Yet, nobody had any evidence to prove him wrong. It seemed like Diane Taylor was about to be convicted for something she had never done.
Finn Taylor squinted his eyes and gave it some thought. “Hold on.”
He made a call to Horned Serpent, who was a computer genius. Finn Taylor believed that Horned Serpent would definitely find a way to get ahold of the surveillance footage in the area.
Scar Ross was annoyed. “Why should we wait? She's the one who accused my woman of stealing and even smashed her phone! I'm not asking for much. I just want her to pay us 15,000 dollars. Then, I'll let this matter go.”
As expected, Scar Ross was inhumane. He asked for 15,000 dollars right away.
15,000 dollars was an enormous sum of money to Diane Taylor. She was just an ordinary college student in San Francisco and had only come out to work because her family was poor. Never in a million years would she have expected to encounter such a situation.
“I said to hold on. If you don't understand me, I'll beat you up until you do.”
Thinking back to the punch Finn Taylor had thrown at him, Scar Ross eventually shrank back and shut up.
Five minutes passed.
Because nothing had happened in the last five minutes, Scar Ross walked over once again. “Tell me which gang you're from. If you want to interfere in this, just pay me on her behalf. Otherwise, you'd better shut up and stay out of this. I won't let others bully me, and I've already given you enough respect. Since you don't have any evidence, why don't we just call the police?”
Diane Taylor panicked the moment she heard that. 'If they do that, I will probably be arrested since I have no evidence to prove my innocence. If that leaves a mark on my record, my whole life will be ruined.'
Diane Taylor was frantic.
“Hehe! I dare you to do anything to her with me here. I said to wait. Even if you have to wait for another three years, you'd better wait.”
Scar Ross reached over and tried to grab Diane Taylor, but Finn Taylor stopped him.
With a gentle twist, Scar Ross's elbow popped out of place.
Scar Ross was nothing more than a three-year-old toddler in Finn Taylor's eyes. While training in the mountains, he had fought with bears. He had even managed to fracture that bear's bones.
'Yes! I wonder if that bear will hold it against me when I go back to visit.' Just as Finn Taylor was reminiscing about the past, Horned Serpent sent a video to his phone.
