A chilling gaze flashed past Third Master Gold's eyes. 'I had come all the way from Chicago just to settle down in San Francisco. I'd definitely be made a joke if I can't even pass this first round.'
Of course, Third Master Gold had a backup plan. It was just that he didn't want to reveal it so early on. 'Do I really have to show my ace card now?'
“What are you laughing at?” Just then, Kimberly Gold's furious roar pulled Third Master Gold back from his thoughts.
He looked over to see Finn Taylor sitting there and in a fit of laughter.
“Is this really funny?”
The old man was clearly in a bad mood, yet Finn Taylor couldn't stop laughing.
Third Master Gold couldn't help but feel that this young man was mocking him.
“Not really. I just think that he's rather useless.”
That last word infuriated Third Master Gold. He couldn't tell whether the other was calling the Muay Thai fighter useless or calling him useless.
Perhaps it was both.
“I can settle this for you.” Just as Third Master Gold was about to flare up, Finn Taylor made an offer.
“You?” Kimberly Gold scanned Finn Taylor up and down, clear disbelief in her eyes.
“Alright, I'll give you a chance to represent me. If you can survive three rounds, I'll pay you 150,000 dollars.” Third Master Gold had already decided to show his ace card. He couldn't afford to lose today's battle, but it would take some time for his men to come. Thus, he needed someone to delay the rest for now. 'Since this young man is willing to represent me, I'll simply let him do so. After three rounds, my ace card will probably arrive by then.'
“I don't need three rounds. I'll destroy him in just one round.”
'Crazy! Ignorant! Arrogant!' That was what Third Master Gold thought of Finn Taylor.
Although the Muay Thai master had been defeated, Third Master Gold had to admit that he was strong and skilled. Nonetheless, Prince had knocked him out with just one punch.
It was obvious just how strong Prince was—he was a prince amongst men!
'How can this young man be so full of himself in front of Prince?' Third Master Gold was worried that this man in front of him wouldn't even survive one round.
Under Third Master Gold and Kimberly Gold's disbelieving gazes, Finn Taylor walked into the ring.
“Do you have a death wish?” Prince's eyes were filled with murderous intent. 'I've already won the previous round with ease, but this man still thinks nothing of me and wants to go against me!'
Prince felt humiliated. It was as though his skills were being doubted. 'I must let this man know the price of provoking me.'
The two men took their places, and the match started.
Although they didn't have too much hope in Finn Taylor, Third Master Gold and Kimberly Gold still paid full attention to the match.
Prince rushed up and jumped to a height of nearly five meters. With his signature move, he came flying down with a punch.
Third Master Gold shook his head helplessly. 'I had already thought highly of Prince, but it seems that he's even more powerful and even stronger than I had expected.'
Kimberly Gold's face was sour too. 'How could I have put any hope on that young man? It seems like everything is turning into ashes now.'
Clank!
Finn Taylor stuck out his leg and kicked it into the air. Then, everyone watched as Prince was kicked out of the ring.
The latter fell onto the ground heavily, bleeding from all orifices.
As for Finn Taylor, he was still standing within the ring. He was perfectly fine.
At that moment, Third Master Gold and Kimberly Gold were still in a daze. 'Previously, that young man said that he would win the match in just one move. At that time, we had mocked him and told him not to be too full of himself. However, it seems like he hadn't been bragging—we are the ignorant ones.'
Third Master Gold smiled and got up, welcoming Finn Taylor back. “Young man, what's your name? I'm Lincoln Gold, the Gold family's third son. Everyone calls me Third Master Gold. This is my granddaughter, Kimberly Gold.”
Third Master Gold introduced himself seriously to Finn Taylor. It seemed like he was completely satisfied with the latter and wanted to get on good terms with him.
“I'm Finn Taylor.” Finn Taylor naturally didn't conceal his identity either since he wanted to get in contact with the Gold family.
'Finn Taylor?' At the mention of this name, Third Master Gold and Kimberly Gold glanced at each other.
They could see the shock in each other's eyes when they heard it.
“Young man, that's not a very good name. There's someone in San Francisco with that same name—he's even a celebrity.”
Finn Taylor rolled his eyes. “I think you're talking about me.”
At that, the surprise on Third Master Gold and Kimberly Gold's faces intensified.
“You… You're the matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family?” Kimberly Gold was slightly doubtful. 'Given Finn Taylor's skills, he can be a capable son-in-law of a prominent family in Chicago. But why is he nothing more than a useless matrilocal son-in-law here in San Francisco?'
“Is something wrong?”
Third Master Gold narrowed his eyes. He was clearly curious about why Finn Taylor was hiding his true self.
“I have something on, so I'm leaving. Oh right, Third Master Gold. Don't forget that you still owe me a million dollars.” With that, Finn Taylor turned to leave. 'Getting too close too quickly will backfire. It's enough for me to show off my skills and let them know of my name to spark their curiosity. Otherwise, it could very well work against me.'
Once Finn Taylor left, Kimberly Gold turned to her grandfather. “Grandpa, it seems like there's more to this man.”
“Oh? Why do you say so?”
“He's clearly capable, but he's fooled everyone so that they think that he's just a piece of trash. I don't think that he's so simple.”
For some reason, Third Master Gold didn't have a good feeling about this. “You seem interested in him.”
“Not really. I just think that we need someone powerful on our side now that we're leaving the Gold family and given how hostile the other families in San Francisco are.”
As she went on, Third Master Gold thought that something was amiss. “Kimberly, what do you mean? He has a wife.”
“So what? He can always get a divorce. Since the Larson family doesn't cherish him, they shouldn't blame others for snatching him from them.”

Third Master Gold understood what his granddaughter meant. “But you're only 18. You're still so young and beautiful. Do you really want to get married to a divorcé?”
“I don't mind.”
Third Master Gold knew that he wouldn't be able to convince his granddaughter. “Alright. I won't oppose it, but you must agree to something.”
“Are you going to tell me not to give myself to him before marriage? Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't do that.”
