Chapter 356: Mysterious Person
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tai was terribly impatient, and Finn Taylor dodging blow after blow made him annoyed.
Finally, he could no longer hold himself back. He gathered all his energy and threw a last punch toward his opponent.
He was sure that the latter would never be able to dodge this blow. In fact, Finn Taylor would probably die from this blow.
Seeing Tai's move, Levi Taylor was emotional. He knew that the former was finally making his move and wasn't going to hold back any longer. 'Finn Taylor is going to meet his death now.'
However, what he saw was Finn Taylor no longer dodging but waiting for Tai's punch instead.
Everyone was confused. 'Why is he suddenly not moving? However, that can't be bad news for us.'
As such, Tai charged forward viciously.
Finn Taylor fought back and used his opponent's blow against himself.
All of a sudden, Tai felt immense pressure on his body.
'This… It's my own energy.' He frowned, feeling something amiss. However, it was too late to stop himself.
Boom!
Tai was blasted out.
Seeing this, Levi Taylor was dumbfounded.
Finn Taylor then turned his fist toward his relative. 'Since the latter has already attacked me, I have every reason to return it.'
But just then, a man appeared next to Levi Taylor—Gremlin!
Never in his life would Finn Taylor have expected Gremlin to be the one protecting Levi Taylor. “Gremlin, you're going to protect South-East Asia's Taylor family?”
'Gremlin grew up in Chicago's Taylor family, and it's obvious that the other family is here to topple us this time. What does Gremlin mean by this? No matter what I do to Donovan, it's between us brothers. But now, he's trying to bring outsiders into our fight for Donovan's benefit?'
“Gremlin, are you trying to sell yourself to South-East Asia's Taylor family and then beg them to let Donovan Taylor handle the matters here so that you'll achieve your goal in the end?” Finn Taylor was acute and understood the situation in no time at all. However, it was exactly because of this that he was in grave danger.
There was no way Gremlin was going to allow Master Peregrine to leave this place alive. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined.
“I don't understand what you're saying.” Gremlin stepped toward Finn Taylor as though he was prepared for a fight. But unlike Tai, Gremlin had both brawn and brains. He wouldn't be defeated so easily.
Finn Taylor steadied himself but knew that he didn't have much chance of winning.
Seeing this, Levi Taylor was delighted. 'Is Chicago's Taylor family going to kill each other off? Great! It's best you guys turn each other into enemies and kill each other!'
But just as Gremlin was about to attack, he felt a blast of wind. However, he saw nothing.
Then, he panicked. 'Run!'
Without thinking much, he dragged Levi Taylor and ran for his life.
It wasn't just Finn Taylor who was stunned—even Levi Taylor was as well.
'What is going on?' Finn Taylor glanced around, trying to figure out what had happened, but he didn't see anything.
He quickly stepped forward to untie the ropes around the four guardians, who finally felt more comfortable after they were released.
“Hunter, did you see what just happened?”
“Not really, but I think someone who's more powerful than Gremlin must've appeared nearby.”
That was what Finn Taylor thought as well, so he had looked around. Unfortunately, he hadn't seen anything.
“Are you out there? Could you show yourself?” Finn Taylor tried his luck at seeking out the person who just saved him. However, silence returned once he finished his sentence.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
'I guess they don't want to be seen, and I shouldn't force them either. They probably don't have any ill intentions since they're willing to help me scare Gremlin away.'
San Francisco, the rooftop of an unknown skyscraper.
Two people were overlooking the city.
“Did you do something?”
“I just went to take a look.”
Finn Taylor knew both of the people who were standing there—his mother and his master, Wendy Jensen and Maximus Brugel.
It was the latter who had scared Gremlin away.
Maximus Brugel was the strategist of Chicago's Taylor family, and rumor had it that he didn't just have exceptional intellect but exceptional martial arts skills as well.
However, he rarely used them. As such, hardly anyone knew about just how powerful he truly was.
But everyone knew one thing—anyone who had personally witnessed Maximus Brugel's prowess lived in fear.
“You shouldn't have.”
Maximus Brugel had saved her son, yet she was saying that he shouldn't have interfered! Who knew what she was thinking?
“You're no different from Frida Cameron. Both of you are so ruthless and are willing to do anything to achieve your goals.”
Wendy Jensen frowned. She hated being compared to her mother-in-law, whom she felt was the cause of this entire situation. 'I'm nowhere as bad as Frida Cameron.'
“They're both your children. If you don't know how to control yourself, you never should've given birth to him.”
Finally, Wendy Jensen could no longer hold it in and retorted, “Do you really think so badly of me?”
The other chuckled. “Well… You're not evil, but I don't agree with your actions. You want to take control of Chicago's Taylor family, so why don't you face South-East Asia's Taylor family yourself? Why did you have to make him do it? I was wondering why you wanted him to know that Brian Taylor could still be alive, but it seems like you had everything planned.”
Wendy Jensen lamented. “Of course not. I didn't know anything about that. Gremlin was the one who planned everything.”
Maximus Brugel merely smiled. “I have my eyes on him. I'm warning you not to hurt him.”
With that, he left.
Wendy Jensen was left alone on the rooftop. “No, I'm his mother. Everything I've done is for the Taylor family's sake.. Since he's Master Peregrine, it's his responsibility to handle this. What has it got to do with me?”
