Hunter Sullivan returned before long, shocked to see Raymond Anderson standing in front of his house. “What’s going on? Why are you here?”

At this point in time, Wampus still had no clue about what had happened, and that was why he could still joke around with the other man.

Of course, the latter was in no mood for that. “Mr. Sullivan, save me. You must save me.”

“Huh? What happened? Why are you so afraid?”

“I offended someone.”

“You offended someone? Come in. Who did you offend?” Hunter Sullivan opened the door and invited the other in.

“I offended Finn Taylor.”

“F-Finn Taylor?” Hunter Sullivan had the urge to kill Raymond Anderson.

‘Of all people, you offended Master Peregrine? I would chase this guy away if possible, but I can’t. Finn Taylor thinks of Raymond Anderson as my subordinate. If he really has offended Master Peregrine, the latter might come to look for me instead of him! That would spell trouble.’

“Don’t panic. Tell me what happened.”

“I came to San Francisco for business some time ago and saw a street that looked pretty good, so I wanted to demolish the building there to rebuild it. There’s an orphanage there, and I didn’t want to touch it, but a man named Harvey Little convinced me to. I think I must’ve been crazy to have listened to him and asked to demolish the orphanage.”

Hunter Sullivan cut in before the other could even finish. “Don’t tell me that orphanage is Mercy Orphanage.”

“Yes, it’s Mercy Orphanage.”

Hunter Sullivan had the urge to punch the other. “I told you that I just donated money to the orphanage last month and that Mr. Taylor cares very much about Mercy Orphanage. You’re really courting death. I don’t even know what to say.”

“I know that now. I met Mr. Taylor earlier, and although he didn’t do anything to me, I could tell that he was angry. Mr. Sullivan, you must save me.”

“Save you? You want me to save you? Do you know that you’re dragging me down?”

“Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Sullivan.”

“Stop calling me. Tell me how Finn Taylor punished you.”

“He made me donate 30 million to the orphanage but didn’t ask for anything more.”

“Go get some snacks. We’ll go up to Pacific Heights and look for Finn Taylor.”

“Snacks?” Raymond Anderson was stumped. ‘Finn Taylor— Master Peregrine—likes snacks?’

“What are you thinking? I’m asking you to get the snacks for Mrs. Taylor. Master Peregrine treats his wife well. As long as she speaks up for you, you’ll be saved.”

“Oh… Oh!” Raymond Anderson finally understood what was going on. He had heard of Finn Taylor even in New York too. Rumor had it that he listened to whatever his wife said since he was the Larson family’s matrilocal son-in-law. Of course, the rumors painted him in a bad light too.

However, Raymond Anderson didn’t believe any of that. There had to be much more to Finn Taylor than what meets the eye.

…

At sunset, Hunter Sullivan brought Raymond Anderson to Number One Pacific Heights. It was the latter’s first time there.

‘Rumor has it that Finn Taylor doesn’t live well and is always given the worst food and products. There are even rumors that he sleeps in a dog kennel. Look at where he’s living? Thank god I didn’t listen to those fools. I would already be dead if I believed those rumors and picked a fight with Finn Taylor today.’

“Hey, why are you here?” Yvette Larson was the first to spot the two men. She was shocked by their visit.

“Ms. Larson, I’ve brought some things for you. They’re not worth much.”

The young lady was confused. ‘What’s with Raymond Anderson?’

“Why did you bring it here since it’s not worth much?” Finn Taylor walked down the stairs, his words leaving Raymond Anderson in a daze.

“Finn, why are you being so mean? Come in; have a seat.” Yvette Larson invited the pair in and even served them tea.

“What, are you here to speak up for him?”

Hunter Sullivan trembled slightly. He didn’t think that the situation was so serious, but Master Peregrine was obviously angry.

That spelled trouble.

It was indeed true that Finn Taylor was furious. He had parents, but his childhood had been no different from an orphan’s. Everyone in the family treated him as a jinx and wanted him dead. That was why he felt for the children and had established a rapport with them.

However, Raymond Anderson had tried to demolish the orphanage!

Great, this was no different from stabbing him right in the heart! It was obvious why he was incensed.

To be honest, Finn Taylor wanted to slap Raymond Anderson.

“Hunter Sullivan, I’ll be direct. I would’ve killed him if not for you. His entire family would probably be dead too.” Finn Taylor’s words terrified the other man.

Even Hunter Sullivan hadn’t expected the situation to be so serious.

Yvette Larson rushed over and comforted her husband. “Don’t flare up, Finn. Didn’t we manage to resolve the matter? There’s no need to talk about death.”

Unexpectedly, her husband didn’t grab her hand this time.

Yvette Larson understood that this wasn’t because he didn’t like her anymore and that something had to be wrong. Hence, she didn’t dare to say another word.

Thud!

Raymond Anderson suddenly fell onto his knees on the ground, without any care for his dignity. He was a wealthy man who held great influence in New York.

The Forbes list wasn’t just open to anyone. Since he had ranked on the list, it was obvious just how exceptional Raymond Anderson was. Even so, he had kneeled down without any hesitation.

“If kneeling could do anything, I wouldn’t have endured all these things for three years.” Finn Taylor laughed before heading upstairs, not even sparing the man a glance.

Now, Raymond Anderson was truly in a panic. He knew that things were getting from bad to worse. ‘It seems like I’ve really offended Finn Taylor this time.. But even up until now, I don’t understand what is going on.’
