Chapter 374: I’m Wrong Then

Of course, neither Lancelot nor Guinevere would abandon Finn Taylor just yet.

Time ticked by, and Master Peregrine finally awoke after several hours. He was still weak and dehydrated, and Guinevere handed him a glass of water.

After taking a sip of water, Finn Taylor felt much better. “How’s Felicity?”

The couple shook their heads sadly.

Although Finn Taylor had already expected that response, he had still held out some hope. “Give her a good funeral and burial. Announce to the public that the three of them died from illnesses. Don’t waste any time or effort on their funerals.”

There was too much involved in this drastic change in the Taylor family. There was no way Finn Taylor would let outsiders hear of what had truly happened.

…

Finn Taylor kept a firm grip on a piece of candy—it was the piece of candy that the little girl had given him during his plane ride to Chicago. At that time, the candy had reminded him of Sarah Eaton.

‘It’s been so many years. I wonder how she’s doing now.’

Sarah Eaton had been an important figure in his childhood, and she had brought light and hope to him.

Finn Taylor arrived at his childhood friend’s house and saw that the snack store that the family operated was still open.

He sat down and said, “I’ll have a donut.”

“Oh, ok,” Sarah Eaton’s mother answered, but she suddenly felt that something was amiss. ‘That voice sounds familiar.’

She turned around and realized that the man looked familiar too. However, she couldn’t put a name to the face.

Then, it suddenly struck her. “Timothy Taylor.”

“Oh, you still remember me.”

“Yes, of course!” Sarah Eaton’s mother was emotional, and she rushed up to grab the man’s hand. There were tears at the corner of her eyes, and she could hardly speak.

“It’s been a long time, Auntie.”

“Yes, long time no see.”

Although Finn Taylor had nothing to do with their family, he was a good friend of Sarah Eaton. They shared a good relationship with each other.

“Mom, who are you talking to?” Just then, Sarah Eaton returned.

There was a man behind her, and on the man’s arm was a formidable-looking tattoo of a dragon.

Of course, Finn Taylor didn’t take him seriously. Tattoos like that were merely to scare others.

They were shocked when they saw Finn Taylor.

“Sarah, come and see who’s here.”

The young lady peered over, feeling that the man in front of her was extremely stern. She looked closely at the man but couldn’t put a name to his face.

Finn Taylor pointed at the lollipops in the snack store. “Timothy Taylor.”

She finally recognized him and rushed up to hug her childhood friend.

But this angered the tattooed man behind her.

Of course, he was overthinking it. There were absolutely no romantic feelings between Finn Taylor and Sarah Eaton. They were no different from siblings.

“Who’s he, Sarah?” That tattooed man could no longer hold his curiosity in.

“Oh, he’s my childhood friend.”

That simple answer only made the man hate Finn Taylor even more. “Hey, what do you work as?”

Finn Taylor shrugged. “Do I have to tell you about that?”

The tattooed man treated Finn Taylor hostilely, and the converse was true.

Because of their friendship, Finn Taylor hoped that Sarah Eaton would find a good boyfriend, not someone like this.

“What do you mean?”

“Nothing much. Since you asked me about my job, you must have an impressive one.”

“Oh, I’m part of Brother Knox’s gang.”

“Brother Knox? What’s his full name?”

“Knox Eaton.”

“Knox Eaton?” Finn Taylor frowned. ‘Why have I never heard of him?’

Master Peregrine picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Do you know of someone named Knox Eaton? Ask him to come here now. I’ll send you my location.”

As he hung up, he sent the other his whereabouts.

The other man couldn’t help but sneer. ‘I’m clearer than anyone about how powerful Knox Eaton is. Besides, that man isn’t the highest in rank—it is Dirk Larson. The latter is the true boss.’

“Who did you call? Are you trying to frighten me?”

“No, I wouldn’t waste my time on you. I just want to get to know the Brother Knox you’re talking about.” Finn Taylor turned to his friend. “Sarah, I don’t think you found yourself a good boyfriend.”

Sarah Eaton was slightly awkward, and she remained silent.

That only deepened Finn Taylor’s curiosity. ‘Is there something more to this? I have to get to the bottom of it.’

“Auntie, I’ll have a donut. I’m starving.”

The older lady nodded and quickly brought his order over. As she did so, she quietly warned Finn Taylor, “Why don’t you leave first? You’re no match for them.”

It was exactly because of what she had said that the man knew that something was amiss. ‘I can’t leave now. I have to know what’s going on.’

“It’s been ten minutes. Didn’t you ask Brother Knox to come? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Finn Taylor wiped his mouth as he finished his donut. “Thank you for the reminder.”

Master Peregrine then took out an hourglass timer and placed it on the table. “Every time I flip this hourglass, I’ll chop off a finger from your Brother Knox’s hand.”

His words scared Sarah Eaton. “Finn, you’re kidding, right?”

Her boyfriend sneered. “Why are you so gullible, Sarah? Are you stupid? Don’t you know how powerful Brother Knox is?”

Because of what her boyfriend had said, she started doubting her friend and fearing for his safety.

Just then, a BMW stopped in front of the store.

Both Sarah Eaton and her boyfriend recognized it—it was Brother Knox’s.

“Hey, why is Brother Knox here?” The couple gave it some thought and came to the same conclusion—it was pure coincidence.

There was no way Finn Taylor could’ve summoned the other here.

“You’re lucky. It was almost time to turn the hourglass,” Finn Taylor said as he picked said item up.

As Brother Knox walked over, his face was void of any expression. After that, he immediately fell to the ground in front of Finn Taylor. “Mr. Taylor, I don’t know how I’ve offended you.. But since you said that I’ve done something wrong, I must have.”
