The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Chapter 420: Don’t Ask

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Dad, I’m asking you a question! Are you really on my side?”

“Why do you ask?”

“Some time ago, I met two young girls. They wanted to help the weaker party in the fight because they felt that they would be able to get some credit for helping the weaker party at their lowest. Helping the stronger party wouldn’t help them in any way.”

“So you think that I’d think the same way? That I wouldn’t get any recognition even if I were to help Donovan Taylor win this battle since he has too many people around him? On the other hand, I’d be rewarded and recognized by the Taylor family if I were to help you, right?”

“I actually do think that you had that intention, and it wasn’t just you. Only your own interests matter in life, so there’s nothing inherently wrong in thinking that way. In fact, I have to thank all of you. You have actually been of help. It’s only because of you guys that the Taylor family doesn’t dare to come against me so easily.”

“I’m glad you think that way. I was afraid that you’d think of us as useless fools and good-for-nothings. Although we failed and you succeeded, I’m sure we helped you in one way or another. Every single bit counts, and nobody is absolutely useless. Perhaps you might not have succeeded without even just one of us.”

“You’re right, Dad. But let’s not talk about this; let’s think about how to save Mom.”

“My recommendation is not to save her.”

“Dad, have you thought it through? What will happen to you if Mom hears of this?”

“I’ve already said this to Yvette, and I don’t mind saying it again. I’m sure Gremlin is waiting for us to save her so that they can do something to us. If we do nothing at all, there’s nothing they can do either. I don’t believe that they’ll dare to kill Linda.”

“What if they do? You can’t use logic to determine what they’ll do. They might very well kill Mom.”

“No, I’m sure they won’t. We don’t just have the few of us on our side. There’s someone we don’t see, but Gremlin will definitely think of them.”

‘Gremlin…’?

“Are you talking about my master?”

“That’s right. Maximus Brugel is really not one to be trifled with. In fact, he played a major role in my decision to support you. At that time, we thought that you’d win against your brother because of your master.”

“My master is indeed amazing. I’ve only lived until today because of his help. I bet the Taylor family would’ve already killed me if not for him.”

“And your grandpa. He’s even more terrifying than Maximus Brugel, but is he dead or alive?”

“Hey, you know about Grandpa too?”

“Well, everyone has been discussing this behind your back. It’s just that nobody would dare to say this explicitly in front of the Taylor family. To be honest, we don’t think that your grandpa is dead either. How could someone as powerful as him die without anyone knowing?”

“I won’t hide it from you any longer, Dad. I’ve already sent my men to look for my grandpa, and we’ve made some progress. But I can’t say for sure if we’ll be able to find him.”

“Tell me more.”

“Have you heard of Mars? Not the planet, but a very mysterious place here on Earth.”

“Yes, I’ve heard of it. Rumor has it that it’s a prison where nobody walks out of.”

“Yes, my master said that it was possible that was where my grandpa is. That’s why he hasn’t been able to contact us for so many years.”

“We’ve thought about that too, but we could only give that thought up since we couldn’t find Mars. Are your men reliable? What if they’re actually on your brother’s side?”

The Taylor family was a prominent family, and the assets involved could cause one to lose sense of reality. As such, who was to say that people by Finn Taylor’s side were truly rooting for him? Francis Larson was simply reminding his son-in-law not to trust others too easily.

“Don’t tell anyone I said this, but although the four guardians look like they’re on your side, who knows if your brother planted them here? But don’t tell anyone I said so.”

“Don’t worry, Dad. The two men I sent are definitely with me.”

“Alright, they should be good if you trust them. Yvette, don’t you ask Finn anything about this. Don’t forget that you were the one who told your mom about Finn’s plans and that she went to look for Melanie Taylor after that.” Francis Larson had been enraged when he had first learned of the matter. On the one hand, he hated his wife for doing such a despicable thing. On the other hand, his heart ached for his daughter’s immaturity.

Yvette Larson had always been a source of pride for him because of her maturity. Who would’ve thought that she would reveal such an important secret to her mom?

Everyone knew exactly how Linda James was as a person and what she was capable of. Did Yvette not know that telling her mom a secret was no different from announcing it to the whole world?

“Dad, I was wrong. I won’t ask him anything about it this time.”

“Ok!”

Just then, Finn Taylor’s phone rang.. It was from Hilary Stone.
