The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Panda Novel

“Greetings, Mr. Taylor. I’m Titus Reilly from the Reilly family of New York.”

“Greetings, Mr. Taylor. I’m Steven Wright from the Wright family of New York.”

“Greetings, Mr. Taylor. I’m Dylan Craig from the Craig family of New York.”

…

Following a thunderous rumble outside the food kiosk, more than 100 cars stopped along the road. This was followed by several people greeting Finn Taylor.

Although Sebastian Smith had never met them, these names weren’t unfamiliar to him because he had grown up in New York as well.

Titus Reilly, Steven Wright, Dylon Craig… Each of them had a prominent family behind them—ones that the Smith family couldn’t even dream of interacting with.

Before they could even finish introducing themselves, Sebastian Smith did a rough count of the people standing outside.

‘More than 100 elders from New York are waiting to meet this young man in front of me. Who is he? What’s his identity?’ Sebastian Smith felt his head tingle. It felt like he was getting swarmed by a hive of bees.

“Stop.” Sebastian Smith couldn’t think so far and immediately asked his subordinates to stop whatever they were doing. ‘The man in front of me seems to wield great power. I don’t even know how terribly I’d die if I accidentally hurt him.’

“B-brother, it was just a misunderstanding.”

The so-called Young Master Smith, or even that so-called Smith family of New York, meant nothing in Finn Taylor’s eyes. He couldn’t even be bothered to waste any time on them.

Of course, the food kiosk boss was completely shell-shocked. ‘Who’s this person who came to eat here today? He could subdue Young Master Smith without doing anything at all!’

Someone strolled up to Finn Taylor—it was Zane Yeller. “The heads of some of New York’s families are waiting outside to see you.”

Finn Taylor looked up, displeasure evident on his face. ‘The reason I’ve been willing to suffer humiliation in the Larson family is that I didn’t want my identity to be exposed. What is Zane Yeller trying to do by arranging so many people to come here all at once?’

Of course, Zane Yeller understood Master Peregrine well. With just one glance, he had already guessed what the latter was thinking about. “I’ve already instructed all of them. Nobody will dare to let anything slip.”

“Give me a good reason to meet them.” Even though Zane Yeller assured him that they wouldn’t expose his identity, Finn Taylor wasn’t very willing to meet them. He could summon them whenever he pleased anyway.

“I have a network in New York, and they’re members of it. All of them participated in the investigation of that jade piece.”

Finn Taylor shut his eyes, understanding what Zane Yeller was saying. ‘This means that they’re all his disciples. In fact, they’ve all worked hard on this matter. Zane Yeller had probably agreed to their requests before this mission, and that’s why they are all here.’

“Three.” Thinking about how the kiosk was rather small and that there were too many people outside, Finn Taylor allowed for only three people to be nominated.

Naturally, Zane Yeller dared not go against him. As such, he went out and called Titus Reilly, Steven Wright, and Dylan Craig in.

These were the three who had made the greatest contributions this time. Besides, they were the three that had the most prominent family backgrounds amongst the 100 people outside.

It was only right to invite the three of them in.

As soon as they entered the kiosk, the three men bowed respectfully, not daring to say a word at all.

“Sit.” Finn Taylor didn’t put up any airs and invited them to have a seat.

However, they were terrified and dared not sit down.

Zane Yeller understood Master Peregrine’s temper well and spoke up. “Since Mr. Taylor has already told you to sit, you should sit down.”

After being lectured, the three men finally sat down.

Just then, Sebastian Smith rushed up and fell before Titus Reilly. “Mr. Reilly, please save me. I’m Sebastian Smith. Last winter, I had a meal with you. Please, I’m begging you. Please save my life!”

Titus Reilly was confused about what was going on in the first place.

Finn Taylor picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. “You don’t have to care about him. He provoked me and is probably scared by all of you appearing here.”

Titus Reilly and Sebastian Smith didn’t know each other well; they had only met once. Besides, Titus Reilly wouldn’t dare to save the latter even if they knew each other well.

After all, he had witnessed just how impressive Zane Yeller was. Besides, Zane Yeller had once told them that they would surely be dead as long as Finn Taylor wanted them dead.

For some reason, Titus Reilly didn’t think that Zane Yeller was exaggerating. This was because Zane Yeller had already won them over a long time ago—there was no point in lying to them.

‘I’d only be getting myself into trouble by speaking up now.’

“Go take care of it,” said Finn Taylor blandly, and Zane Yeller nodded.

The latter then hauled Sebastian Smith and his lackeys out.

After a series of blood-curdling screams, everything went silent.

Finn Taylor looked at the three men in front of him. “You must be curious about my identity, right?”

They wanted to nod but didn’t dare to move at all.

“Have you heard of Peregrine Hall?”

The three men had already made mental preparations, thinking they would be able to accept whatever Finn Taylor said. After all, these men were prominent figures who could influence the New York business world with just a word.

They thought that they would never be frightened when facing anyone else, but it was clear that it was just their wishful thinking.

“I’m the Master Peregrine that they talk about.”

Thud!

Immediately, Titus Reilly, Steven Wright, and Dylan Craig all fell to the ground.

Fear!

Terror!

Trembling!

The three men didn’t even know how to describe their emotions, but they knew that they would’ve fainted from shock a long time ago if they hadn’t forced themselves to stay conscious.

From their knowledge, all those prominent figures they knew about meant nothing to Peregrine Hall.

Finn Taylor couldn’t help but shake his head at this sight. ‘Although these three families have a certain status in New York, their performance has disappointed me.’

“Go out.”

The three men nodded and didn’t dare to say a word before heading out.

Just then, Zane Yeller happened to walk in. He glanced at them. “Do you guys already know about it?”

They nodded.

“Ok. If you want to stay alive, you’d better not say a word about it.”

The three men quickly assured him that they would never spill a word about Finn Taylor’s identity.

Compared to these three cowards, Finn Taylor admired this boss much more. Although he had gone down on his knees to beg Sebastian Smith, he had remained calm and collected even when Finn Taylor had announced his identity.

It was a stark contrast to the three men’s reactions.

“Boss, who are you?”
