The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine - Chapter 394 - Danger
If not for Lancelot and Guinevere begging him for mercy, Finn Taylor might’ve punished Andre Cavill.
Finn Taylor didn’t have a choice. He had to make sure his men listened to him; otherwise, they would all be in danger.
Finn Taylor had countless men after his life. If he kept such underlings by his side, his life might be in danger at any time.
Seeing that Lancelot and Guinevere were recovering well, Finn Taylor left.
Just as he got out of the room, he spotted a silhouette in the distance.
Finn Taylor had always felt that man’s presence. Now that he had appeared, he was probably ready to meet him.

When he had gotten into a fight with Levi Taylor, it was because of this man that the latter had chosen to give up.
The same happened this time. He was going to die, but Mr. Guinn had suddenly chosen to spare his life.
‘It might’ve been a coincidence if it only happened once. But for it to happen twice in a row, something is definitely amiss.’ Finn Taylor chased after the man. He wanted to see who had been helping him.
However, the man continued walking without stopping.
Finally, Finn Taylor managed to catch up to the man, but what surprised him was that it was Maximus Brugel!
“Master, why are you here?” He had never expected his master to be the one to save him.
His mother had told him that Maximus Brugel had left and wouldn’t be back. At that time, Finn Taylor had wondered why his master had left so suddenly, yet that was the other’s right.
Although Maximus Brugel had always been living with the Taylor family, he wasn’t part of the family. Hence, he was free to come and go as he pleased. Besides, Maximus Brugel had only remained with the Taylor family because of his relationship with Finn Taylor’s grandpa. Now that the latter was no longer there, there was no reason for him to stay.
The thought of his grandpa caused his heart to twist up into a bundle. ‘Has Grandpa been found? Is he still alive?’
“Are you very surprised to see me? Did you think that I had left and wouldn’t come back?”
“That’s what my mother said.”
“Your mother? Are you guys on good terms now?”
“Not exactly, but she did help me out when I returned to Chicago to reclaim the Taylor family.”
“Those are your family’s matters. I don’t want to care about your relationship since it has nothing to do with me, but I’ve indeed been helping you.”
“Twice?”
“Three times.”
“Three? Which three?”
‘He helped me once with Levi Taylor and another time with Melanie Taylor. When was the third?’
“Why do you think Lancelot and Guinevere suddenly agreed to help you? They beat you, but they became so loyal that they were even willing to take their lives for you.”
Finn Taylor came to a sudden realization. ‘The couple held a grudge against my father, so why did they suddenly stand on my side and help me try to take down Melanie Taylor? ‘It’s because Maximus Brugel has been helping me! But that’s no surprise. Master is really too powerful—he was one of the two men in charge of protecting Master Peregrine. How many are on his level? There aren’t many in the country, much less Chicago. These professionals love to remain hidden, just like how Lancelot and Guinevere lived in the woods. They would never show up in large cities like Chicago.’
At that time, Finn Taylor had already tried narrowing down his suspect list. As Master Peregrine, he would probably recognize such masters at the end of the day—unless they were deliberately trying to conceal their identities.
Yet, no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn’t think of anyone who would help him convince Lancelot and Guinevere. He hadn’t even considered his master because the latter had already left the city.
But now that Maximus Brugel was telling him that he was the one who had done so, everything made sense.
“Master, why are you suddenly interfering in this?”
“Isn’t it obvious that I did it only because someone was about to die?”
‘F*ck!’
“Master, are you trying to scare me? Why do you think I’m about to die?”
“Scare you? Why would I do that? Tell me—do you even know how much danger you’re in? You’re still in such good spirits. I asked you to train well, but you refused to listen to me. See, you’re in so much danger now and can be beaten to death at any time. Are you skilled enough to defend yourself?”
“Master, am I really in grave danger?”
“Do you not think so? Let’s not talk about Melanie Taylor or her brother. Those two are obvious candidates that you already know about. You were impressive and managed to take control of the Taylor family, but have you ever thought about who else would fight with you to inherit the family? It’s your younger brother. One of the main reasons I left the Taylor family was that your brother went missing. It’s true that you managed to lock him up, but unfortunately, he’s nowhere to be found now. I’ve been looking around, but my months’ of efforts have been futile so far.”
“Those are the two dangers you know about, but do you know about those lurking around? I remember a woman named Willow Stone. Did you know that she has an impressive family background? The Stone family is one of the most powerful families in Europe. Unfortunately, they offended the royal family, and it just so happened that a photo of Willow Stone and you was placed in the living room. Do you know that the royal family has set their eyes on you now? That’s why you’ve suddenly got a strange person by your side now—his name is Ginger. I know you were wary of him, but do you know where he is now? He’s missing. You might not believe the last one, but it’s your mother-in-law—Linda James.. She’s been getting quite close to Melanie Taylor lately.”
