Chapter 227: Phoenix and Triton
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“You’re going to go against Jerry Wood?” Wendy Jensen frowned in disapproval.
“Shouldn’t I? Since I’m Master Peregrine, he should be loyal to me and me alone.” To be honest, Finn Taylor had already wanted to deal with Jerry Wood. It was simply a pity that he couldn’t find a good reason to do so.
Jerry Wood thought that he could make use of Finn Taylor to defeat Philip Smith. Although Finn Taylor didn’t seem petty, he was one to hold grudges.
“You…” Wendy Jensen fumed and questioned her son, “Am I not your mother? Is there a problem with him being loyal to me?”
“You may be my mother, but I’ve never experienced motherly love.” That concluded Finn Taylor’s conversation with his mother.
As Wendy Jensen watched her son walking away, she understood full well that he would never return again.
She had tried to control Finn Taylor by using Brian Taylor’s name. Obviously, she had failed.
Perhaps Finn Taylor still cared for the Taylor family, but it was Brian Taylor’s Taylor family he cared about, not the current Taylor family.
He would establish a new Taylor family—one of his own.
…
The suburbs of Chicago, in a place named Long Grove. It was a rural area that hardly saw any visitors.
Finn Taylor entered the dense forest, and thick foliage surrounded him.
Deep within the forest were two straw huts. In them lived two people—Felix Taylor and Patrick Taylor.
Brian Taylor had raised both of them, and they were also known as Phoenix and Triton of Peregrine Hall.
Today, Finn Taylor had entered the forest to look for them.
Before Finn Taylor could get close to the huts, he heard rustling noises.
Shortly after, a few arrows shot toward him. However, he was easily able to dodge them.
This was a piece of cake for Finn Taylor, but he was clear that this was only the beginning.
Just as he expected, hundreds of arrows flew toward him.
He no longer wanted to avoid them—there was no point in doing so.
If he wanted to make them surrender, he would have to show off his true skills.
Finn Taylor fought back.
What followed was so extraordinary that one probably wouldn’t believe it unless they were to witness it personally! With phenomenal speed, Finn Taylor caught the arrows in his hands one after another.
Although the arrows were flying at an incredible speed, they were no match for Finn Taylor’s skills. Within ten minutes, he had managed to grab hold of the few hundred arrows.
He flung them to the side and shouted, “There’s no need to keep up with such childish games!”
Right after he said those words, he no longer faced any opposition. It seemed as though those inside also realized that such playthings were useless against him.
Finally, Finn Taylor made his way to the straw hut.
At the same time, two people walked out of the hut.
“You’re unfit to be his grandson.” It was Felix Taylor—or Phoenix of Peregrine Hall—who spoke up.
“Both of the Taylor family’s grandsons are useless.” Now, it was Patrick Taylor who spoke. Similar to the other, he didn’t think highly of Finn Taylor.
“Is that so? Why don’t we have a match? That’ll prove if I’m really a piece of trash.” Finn Taylor knew these two men in front of him like the back of his hand.?‘There’s no point trying to reason it out with them. I have to prove my worth by showing my power. Only then will they finally surrender to me.’
With that, Finn Taylor struck.
Of course, his opponents didn’t hold back either.
They looked down on Finn Taylor, feeling that the latter had let Brian Taylor down.?‘We have to defeat Finn Taylor!’
Just like that, the three men entered a head-to-head battle.
Just then, the duo spotted a sinister smirk on Finn Taylor’s lips.
“What are you laughing at?” Felix Taylor couldn’t help but feel that something was amiss.
Very quickly, Finn Taylor made the other understand why he was laughing.
All of a sudden, Finn Taylor’s speed increased by over ten times.
Felix Taylor and Patrick Taylor were quashed by the lone man.
Even though it was an unequal fight, the duo was no match for their opponent.
Soon enough, they could no longer hold their own.
“We lost. We made a wrong call this time. Tell us—why are you here?” While the pair was slightly indignant, they admitted defeat nonetheless.
“I want you to save someone.”
Neither Felix Taylor nor Patrick Taylor seemed the slightest bit interested upon hearing that.
“To save Brian Taylor.”
The moment Finn Taylor mentioned that name, two pairs of eyes were glued to him. “What did you say?”
“Remember that I’d have beaten you up a long time ago if not for the fact that you’re his grandson.”
Finn Taylor pursed his lips and replied, “Didn’t you try to beat me up?”
Patrick Taylor was at a loss for words.?‘What can I do? He’s right; I can’t beat him.’
“Timothy Taylor, what do you mean?”
“Call me Finn Taylor.”
‘Timothy Taylor—it’s been a long time since I’ve heard that name. It feels strange.’
“To put it simply, Grandpa might still be alive. I need someone to look for him.”
“Grandpa is still alive?” At that, both Felix Taylor and Patrick Taylor grew excited. “Is he really still alive?”
“I can’t be sure, but nobody has ever seen Grandpa’s body. Who can be sure that he’s really dead?”
“But why hasn’t Grandpa gotten in touch with us if he’s still alive?” Felix Taylor posed a critical question.
“That’s right. Besides, given Grandpa’s powers, someone must’ve noticed him no matter where he is. There’s no way it would’ve remained hidden from Peregrine Hall.”
“There is a place where that could happen,” Finn Taylor said blandly.
“Where?”
“Mars.”
Felix Taylor pointed to the sky. “Mars?” As he said so, his expression was one of mockery.
“You’re mistaken. Have you heard of a place that only imprisons people with special powers? Once they’re captured and imprisoned, they’ll spend the rest of their lives there. That’s Mars.”
Felix Taylor and Patrick Taylor shared a glance. Evidently, neither of them had ever heard of that place.
However, they didn’t doubt Finn Taylor. There were too many bizarre and exotic things in this world that they’d never heard of.
“Will you leave the mountains to help me look for Grandpa?”
The duo rolled their eyes.
Finn Taylor made it seem as though Brian Taylor was his life, but wasn’t that the case for them too? Without Brian Taylor, they’d have died a long time ago!
After Grandpa’s disappearance, they left Peregrine Hall to go into hiding in this thick forest. Otherwise, given their skills and abilities, they could’ve risen to a much higher position in Peregrine Hall.
But now, few even knew about their existence.
Hearing that, Finn Taylor finally felt reassured.
