The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine-Chapter 367 - Rescue
Chapter 367: Rescue
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Howard Dahl felt his heart pounding furiously as he picked up the call from Finn Taylor. All of a sudden, he remembered that the latter’s house was among those that were to be demolished and that a public toilet was going to be built in its place.
Moreover, he was helping out in this relocation project.?‘I’ll be dead meat if Finn Taylor finds out about this.’?
In his call, Finn Taylor merely instructed Howard Dahl to pick him up from the entrance gate to the neighborhood.
Howard Dahl wasted no time rushing to the entrance and almost burst into tears when he saw all four guardians standing there.?‘This… Finn Taylor called all four of them over! Does he really intend on dealing with me because of this? Forget it! I have to apologize first!’?
He rushed over and dropped down on his knees before Master Peregrine could even say anything.
‘Er…’?Finn Taylor was confused.?‘I had asked for Howard Dahl to lead the way to the location we had on hand in case we got lost. Yet, Howard Dahl kneeled down to me before I could even say anything. It’s obvious that something is wrong.’?
“What’s up?” Finn Taylor put on a stern expression as he questioned the man.
“Master Peregrine, I was wrong. Melanie Taylor was the one who put me up to it. She’s an influential figure, and I can’t afford to offend her.”
Finn Taylor’s first thought was that his relative had kidnapped Michelle Yeller.?‘But that’s not right. Melanie Taylor is such an arrogant and jealous woman, yet she didn’t even touch Yvette. There’s no way she would do anything to Michelle. The latter is just a neighbor, and it would be too extreme to deal with her. Something else must be up.’
“Tell me more,” Finn Taylor demanded.
“Master Peregrine, it’s Melanie Taylor. She wants to buy out the whole neighborhood and build a public toilet here. I’m just working on getting everyone’s signatures; this has nothing to do with me.” Howard Dahl was already in tears, with snot running down his face.
“I’ll deal with that later. Let’s talk about something else—your men kidnapped my friend. What’s going on?”
Howard Dahl was stunned.?‘My men kidnapped Finn Taylor’s friend? Is he serious? If he’s telling the truth, I’m doomed. He’s Finn Taylor—Master Peregrine! His friend is probably a big shot too. If my subordinates have kidnapped his friend, I’ll be dragged down and be in deep trouble too.’
“Master Peregrine, I swear I don’t know anything about it. I’ll definitely beat that person up if he really did it.”
Finn Taylor nodded at Horned Serpent, who then showed Howard Dahl the location.
“Kyle Kennedy.” Howard Dahl immediately said the name when he saw the location.?‘I was just there, and everything had appeared fine just moments earlier. I never expected Kyle Kennedy to get involved with Finn Taylor’s friend!’?
“Master Peregrine, I know where they are. I’ll lead the way.”
Finn Taylor nodded.
Howard Dahl was slightly moved when he saw the other nodding. This meant that he still had a chance and that he wasn’t done for just yet.
With Howard Dahl leading them, the group quickly arrived where Kyle Kennedy was.
When they arrived, Kyle Kennedy was still in the middle of his poker game with his men.
Howard Dahl charged forward and grabbed hold of him. “Kyle Kennedy, where are the people you kidnapped?”
“Kidnapped? I didn’t kidnap anyone.” Kyle Kennedy naturally denied everything. It was against the rules for him to do this without his boss’s approval.
He would be doomed if he admitted to it.
“Kyle Kennedy, I’m giving you one last chance. You’ll be dead meat otherwise.”
“I didn’t kidnap anyone.”
Howard Dahl subdued the other and pressed him against the table.
In an instant, Kyle Kennedy’s pinky finger was chopped off.
Chills ran down everyone’s spines. “This…”
It was only then that Kyle Kennedy’s subordinates realized that something was amiss.?‘Our boss must’ve kidnapped a big shot for this to happen.’?
Eventually, one of them spoke up. “I know where they are.”
“Bring us there,” Finn Taylor cut in just then.
Although that man didn’t recognize Finn Taylor, he knew that the latter had to be an influential figure since he had walked in with Howard Dahl. As such, he immediately gestured for the group to follow him.
Bang!
Finn Taylor kicked open the door of Kyle Kennedy’s house.
As light shone into the place, the two girls were shocked to see Finn Taylor’s face.
Finn Taylor rushed over to help Michelle Yeller up from the ground. “Are you alright?”
“M-Mr. Taylor, you’re finally here to save me.” Michelle Yeller—who had been putting up a strong front earlier—finally burst out into tears as she rushed into Finn Taylor’s embrace.
All four guardians turned away, pretending not to have seen anything. How else would they be able to answer Yvette Larson if she asked about it in the future?
If they were to say anything about it, Finn Taylor would probably beat them to death. However, lying didn’t seem right either. Thus, turning away was their best choice.
Yes, that way, they wouldn’t see anything and would have nothing to say. At least, that was what they all thought.
“You’re here to save us?” Josie Meyer’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
She was indignant.
She had clearly told her friend that Finn Taylor would never come to save them and that they might’ve gotten the chance to be saved if they had asked for help from someone else. They didn’t stand a chance at all with Finn Taylor. He was useless after all.
During her few interactions with Finn Taylor, he had never helped her. Due to this, Josie Meyer believed that he wouldn’t help her this time either.
“You’re wrong. I’m here to save Michelle. As for you…” Finn Taylor didn’t continue, but it was clear what he meant. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗novel.𝐜o𝒎
If not for the fact that Michelle Yeller was her friend, Finn Taylor never would’ve come for her.
His words annoyed Josie Meyer even more. Ever since she was young, she had always thought of herself as superior to her friend. As such, their friendship had always revolved around her.
As long as she made a decision, Michelle Yeller would never object to it.
But now, Finn Taylor was treating her so coldly even though he was friendly to Michelle Yeller. It was as though she was nothing but a trash bag.
“I… Timothy Taylor, don’t cross the line.” Josie Meyer roared, but it was too late.
Finn Taylor had already left with her friend.
She could choose to follow them if she could put down her pride. Otherwise, she could simply stay there.
Eventually, Josie Meyer had no other choice but to chase after them.
