The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine

Chapter 267: Plea

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Money family’s residence was humongous and had several buildings.

The other three guardians split up to look for the couple, but it was to no avail.

As for Zachary Kennedy, he headed straight for one of the buildings—or rather, a specific room.

There, Henry Money was seated, yellowed photograph and a cigarette in his hand.

It was a family portrait with Henry Money in it—this photo had been taken some four decades ago. At that time, he was no more than a teenager of 14 years.

A family portrait was usually heartwarming, yet Henry Money couldn’t help but feel terror every time he looked at this photo. After all, he was the only one in that photo that was still alive.

At that time, his eldest brother had met a woman he never should’ve—someone else’s wife.

The next day, that man came looking for him, killing everyone from the Money family.

Henry Money had been the youngest in the family and the only one who was yet to come of age. It was only because he had given that woman something to eat when she had first been caught by his brother that the man had chosen to let him off.

Forty years had passed since then, yet these events flashed through his mind like a movie every time he stared at this photo.

“I thought that we’d never meet again in this lifetime.” Just then, someone pushed the door open and entered.

Henry Money was just about to lash out at the other when he spotted the latter’s face. He’d never forget that face for the rest of his life—it was the one who had killed the entire Money family 40 years back. “Y-you… Mr. Kennedy.”

“It looks like you haven’t forgotten me. I thought that you’d have forgotten all about me now that you’re the head of the most powerful family of Cupid Island.”

“Of course not, Mr. Kennedy. I’m eternally grateful to you.”

“Eternally grateful? I killed your entire family, so why would you be grateful to me?”

The other three guardians had never seen Zachary Kennedy make a move. Who would’ve thought that Zachary Kennedy had eliminated an entire family decades earlier?

“Mr. Kennedy, what happened at that time was our fault. I’m already eternally grateful that you were willing to forgive me and spare my life. I’d never dare to think of anything else!”

“Hehe, I don’t think your family has improved. You guys are no different from how you were four decades ago. Your son has taken your eldest brother’s place.”

Henry Money was stunned. “My son?”

His heart tightened, and he couldn’t help but worry.?”Something must’ve happened to the Money family for him to suddenly show up here today! He even mentioned Terry! Something is amiss!’

“Henry Money, you’re really something. You managed to kidnap him!”

“Him? Who are you talking about?”

“Do you really not know who I’m talking about? Do you mean that your family has kidnapped more than one person lately?”

Henry Money grew more frantic as the other spoke.?‘We’ve only kidnapped one person recently—Finn Taylor. When we caught him, Liam Gillies revealed that Finn Taylor has an extraordinary background, but what exactly is his background?’

“Have you ever heard of Peregrine Hall?”

“Peregrine Hall!” Henry Money was no fool, so he had naturally heard of it. But it was exactly because of this that he felt even more panicked. “Are you saying that he’s from Peregrine Hall?”

Zachary Kennedy shook his head.

That confused Henry Money even more.?‘Since Finn Taylor doesn’t belong to Peregrine Hall, why did Zachary Kennedy suddenly mention it?’

“Peregrine Hall is his.”

‘Peregrine Hall is his—what’s he saying?’?Henry Money contemplated those words for a while before suddenly leaping up. “Master Peregrine of Peregrine Hall!”

Zachary Kennedy chuckled. “If you think that your family is really so amazing that you managed to kidnap him, I’m going to die of laughter. He’s just playing along with you guys, and it’s up to you whether the Money family gets to live.”

Henry Money was at his wits’ end now.?‘We kidnapped Master Peregrine of Peregrine Hall? What a joke! Do you think an insignificant family like us could’ve done so? He’s just playing along with us! But he’s right—there’s been an accident! Terry kidnapped Master Peregrine’s wife! We’re doomed!’?

Henry Money’s family had already been destroyed once. At that time, the root cause had been a woman.

“Come with me.” Without any hesitation, Henry Money led the way toward the dungeon.

Zachary Kennedy followed behind him, coldness in his eyes.

The person standing in front of him had been the only survivor of his entire family. At that time, it had been his eldest brother who had kidnapped Helen.

As she took her last breath, Helen had begged him not to make things difficult for the young child.

Zachary Kennedy narrowed his eyes.?‘Ever since that incident, I have never once used my martial arts skills ever again. But now that I’ve met my mortal enemy again, it feels difficult to suppress my murderous instincts.’?

The dungeon in the Money family’s residence was so well-hidden that the other three guardians still hadn’t found it. However, they received a message from Zachary Kennedy and immediately headed to look for him.

Very quickly, they gathered and headed for the dungeon together.

…

Cupid Island, the dungeon of the Money family’s residence.

Finn Taylor glared at Terry Money, his eyes full of murderous intent.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Just kill me if you can.” Terry Money had no fear of the other. He knew full well just how heavy the iron gate was.

Even if Finn Taylor was a god, there was no way he’d be able to smash that gate. Yet, Terry Money remained unaware that he had already tested the other man’s limits.

He had thought that he had successfully captured Finn Taylor, yet the latter had something else in mind—to let Liam Gillies get Gremlin to Cupid Island. He was going to kill Gremlin here.

Everything had been going to plan until something happened—that boss had provided Terry Money with a phone number!

Finn Taylor threw a kick against the iron gate.

Clang!

It flew out, knocking Terry Money over. In an instant, the latter’s whole body was dripping with blood.

“H-how did you…” By now, Terry Money was lying on the ground, paralyzed.

Right at that moment, Henry Money and the others arrived.

“D-dad, you’re finally here. He beat me up! Hurry up and get people here! I’m going to kill him! I’m going to play with his wife with him here!” Even now, Terry Money was still tempting fate.

His words were enough to send him to his grave.

Bang!

There was no hesitation before Henry Money slapped his son right in the face. He then fell on his knees, kowtowing before Finn Taylor. “Master Peregrine, please be magnanimous.’

Henry Money had still held out some hope earlier on, but now that he had witnessed his son’s behavior, he had lost all hope.. All he could do now was make a desperate plea.
