Yvette Larson walked into the room, only to see her husband pressing on his abdomen. But the moment she stepped into the room, he let go.

Obviously, he was afraid that his wife would worry about him.

“Did you meet a very strong opponent?” Linda James had upset Yvette Larson. ‘I understand that my mother hates Quince but doesn’t Finn hate him as well? If possible, my husband never would’ve let Quince off. He must’ve had his own reasons for doing so.’

“Not really. I can deal with him.” Finn Taylor had to admit that Gremlin was indeed impressive, but he wasn’t going to back down just because of that. “Oh right, have you thought about how you’re going to solve the problems in the company?”

Finn Taylor changed the topic right away.

“We don’t have anyone now, and I probably won’t have enough time to hire new employees within three days. I guess I’ll have no choice but to ignore him no matter what he does in three days’ time.”

Finn Taylor sneered. ‘That’s one way, but it isn’t the best way. Ignoring them will be no different from surrendering to them. There’s no way I’m going to let that happen.’

“Don’t worry. Leave it to me. I’ll make sure those old men kneel down to me at the peak of Pacific Heights.”

Yvette Larson chuckled. She wanted to know what plans her husband had up his sleeve, yet she wasn’t going to ask him about it.

There were some things better left unsaid. All she had to do was act as though she knew nothing about it.

This was what an intelligent woman would do.

…

The next day, Finn Taylor headed to Hunter Sullivan’s residence—the four guardians were already gathered here.

“You must’ve seen what happened at the funeral. There aren’t many employees left in the Larson Corporation. How many people can you spare me?”

The four guardians immediately knew that Finn Taylor needed their help.

In the past, the different families had never interfered in each other’s affairs—they had simply come to a mutual understanding. Yet, the current Peregrine Hall was different.

Of course, the four guardians were different as well. Their fates were now intertwined with Finn Taylor’s.

If he lived, they’d live.

If he died, they’d die too.

“Don’t worry, Master Peregrine. Give us a week. We’ll hand over the matters in our companies and transfer the best talents from our companies to the Larson Corporation.” Hunter Sullivan was sincere.

Finn Taylor nodded, reminding himself to repay this favor.

After leaving Hunter Sullivan’s house, he headed to look for Andre Cavill.

“This is the name list of everyone who threatened the Larson family that day. Make a trip to each of these families and capture their eldest sons,” Finn Taylor instructed Andre Cavill.

The latter nodded before heading off to accomplish his mission.

…

The Gold family’s residence.

Third Master Gold and Carl Gillies were sitting in front of each other, engaged in a game of chess.

“It looks like a storm is about to befall San Francisco.” Carl Gillies made a move before starting to talk about Finn Taylor.

“Someone is tempting fate. I’ll just watch on by the sidelines.”

“That’s fine, but do you really not have any self-interests in this?”

“What kind of self-interest could I possibly have?”

“You have a huge grudge against Kevin Jones. It may seem as though you’re doing nothing, but you’re trying to use Finn Taylor to kill him!”

“You’d better not spout nonsense!”

“I’m sure you know very well whether I’m spouting nonsense. You were the one who told me about Finn Taylor’s identity, so do you really think he won’t understand what you’re doing?”

Third Master Gold was shaken by Carl Gillies’s words. “Is there really no way of salvaging the situation?”

“There is.”

“What?”

“Injuring yourself.”

“What do you mean?”

“If you fall from the stairs, you’ll be bedridden. Then, you won’t be able to do anything even if you wanted to. No matter how angry Finn Taylor gets, he won’t be able to do anything to you.”

Carl Gillies’s suggestion rendered Third Master Gold speechless. ‘Doesn’t he know how old I am? I might very well die from a fall!’

Third Master Gold wasn’t prepared to do as his friend had suggested. ‘He’s overthinking things.’

…

San Francisco, the Jones family’s residence.

Kevin Jones was in the midst of calling each of his contacts, requesting that they end their contracts with the Larson family.

As expected, everything was going smoothly. As long as he made the call, the other party would almost immediately agree to it.

To be honest, these people had been waiting for Kevin Jones’s call. They had already found out about what had happened at Joseph Larson’s funeral and were already intending to abandon the Larson family.

Yet, it didn’t seem right to simply cut all ties with them just like that.

But things were different with Kevin Jones’s call—it was out of respect for the late Old Master that they were abandoning the Larson family.

Just then, the door to the Jones family’s residence was kicked open, and Andre Cavill rushed in with his men.

“Who are you?” Kevin Jones had always thought that he ruled over everyone. Never had he ever expected someone to barge into his home.

“Let me introduce myself, Mr. Jones. I’m Andre Cavill.”

‘Andre Cavill.’

Everyone had heard of this name—it was someone named Andre Cavill who had subdued all the gangsters in San Francisco.

“I’ve heard of Andre Cavill, but I wonder what these men are here for.”

“Nothing much. We heard that Mr. Jones is targeting the Larson family, so we’re here to take our share of the pie too.”

Kevin Jones had initially been afraid that these men would stir up trouble for him. Now, he felt much more at ease. ‘It seems like they’re on my side.’

“That’s good. I’ll welcome anyone who wants to join me.”

“Thank you, Mr. Jones. Search the house.” As soon as Andre Cavill gave his command, dozens of men started rummaging through the house.

“What are you doing?” This wasn’t what Kevin Jones had expected.

“Nothing much. Since you’re so kind, I’m just trying to return your kindness, Mr. Jones.” As soon as Andre Cavill said so, his men grabbed the other’s only son—Jonathan Jones.

“What are you guys trying to do?”

“Nothing much. We’ll be waiting for you at the peak of Pacific Heights in three days’ time.”

“This is kidnap! You must be Finn Taylor’s men. Are you threatening me?”

Andre Cavill laughed. “I thought that you were blind. Don’t you think you’re really stupid?”

Kevin Jones walked forward in an attempt to save his son, but he was shoved onto the sofa by Andre Cavill right away.
