The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 32
Advertisement
Quince Larson's plan couldn't get any more vicious. He had asked Eleanor Larson to tell Finn Taylor about the instigator behind the whole matter.
What would he do after learning about it?
Firstly, he could choose not to let Yvette Larson know about it. Then, she would have to resign from her position.
Once she resigned, Quince Larson would tell her that her husband had already known about the instigator behind the whole thing. It was just that he hadn't told her about it.
The couple was sure to get into an argument then, and they might even get divorced.
What would happen then? It would be going against the late Old Master's wishes.
That way, Yvette Larson's family was sure to be chased out of the Larson family.
His grandpa cared most about filial piety and the family's reputation.
Of course, Finn Taylor could choose a different route: telling Yvette Larson about the instigator.
What would that lead to? She was sure to head to the Fleming family for a discussion to avoid having to resign from the company.
This was what Quince Larson hoped to see.
Yvette Larson would go as a virgin, but she definitely wouldn't return untouched.
She had a husband at home, yet she bedded another man. There was no way his cousin would still have the dignity to live after doing something that humiliated the entire family.
Quince Larson would then consult the elders and advise them to cut her family out of the Larson family, driving Yvette Larson into a corner.
…
Finn Taylor sat at the gate, smoking as he gazed at the street.
It had been several days since he started sitting here, but it wasn't because he was bored.
He was sitting here because he was looking for someone. To be more accurate, he was looking for a beggar.
This beggar had been begging around Finn Taylor's house for three years.
Ever since he had married into the Larson family, he had seen that beggar every day. But in the past week, that beggar had suddenly disappeared.

If it were any ordinary beggar that had gone missing, he wouldn't have spared a thought. However, that beggar was different.
When Finn Taylor had been beaten for the first time at his wife's house, he had chosen to escape the Larson family out of frustration.
At that time, the beggar had offered him a cigarette and taught him many life principles. It was only then that he realized how difficult it was being a beggar.
Perhaps that beggar had only turned to this route because of other difficulties, just like he had become the Larson family's matrilocal son-in-law because he had no other choice.
"Oh, what are you looking at, piece of trash?" Just then, Finn Taylor heard a very disconcerting voice beside him.
He lifted up his head to see Eleanor Larson.
This woman tried to go against him in every way, and that was why he had set up a trap to deal with her.
'Right now, she probably has full confidence that she's now in a relationship with Alexander Scott. Is she here to boast about herself? Or to declare war?' No matter which one it was, Finn Taylor was fearless.
"Do you know about your wife making a bet with Quince Larson?" Eleanor Larson snatched the cigarette from Finn Taylor's hand and flung it to the ground, extinguishing it.
She hated the smell of cigarettes, especially the cheap kind that Finn Taylor smoked.
"A bet?"
"There was some trouble with the project with Xander Corporation. Some rogues have been stirring up trouble, and your wife agreed to resolve the matter within the week. Otherwise, she would resign from her position."
Finn Taylor clenched his fist. 'It's you again, Quince Larson.'
"Your wife has five days left, but she hasn't found the root cause of the problem."
"What are you trying to tell me?" Finn Taylor knew that she was here for a specific reason, but he couldn't guess the reason.
"I know who's behind those rogues." She finally got to the main point.

"Tell me."
"Why should I?"
"…" Finn Taylor retrieved another cigarette and started smoking.
He was in no hurry. It was obvious that Eleanor had purposely come here to tell him this secret.
'I'll wait for you to tell me about it, then I'll see if I can accept this secret.'
"I'll tell you if you say that you're a piece of trash."
Finn Taylor's fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands popped up.
In the end, that girl's voice and image appeared in his mind.
"I'm a piece of trash."
"Who's a piece of trash?"
"Finn Taylor is a piece of trash."
"Hahahaha…" Eleanor Larson burst out into laughter and couldn't stop smiling.
"Tell me who the instigator is."
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. It's Seth Fleming from San Francisco's Fleming family. You can deal with him if you're capable enough." Then, she left with a wide smile still plastered on her face.
She had completed her mission and had even heard Finn Taylor admit that he was a piece of trash.
It was a double blessing.
Now, she simply had to sit back and relax to watch what would happen.
Once Eleanor Larson walked a distance away, Finn Taylor took out his phone and made a call to the four guardians.
He had two missions for them.
Firstly, he wanted to know how true the information that Eleanor Larson had told him was.
Secondly, he wanted to find out who that beggar was, where he had gone, and why he had gone missing.
Upon receiving his order, the four guardians set out to work immediately.
Right before dinnertime, Finn Taylor received news from Logan Yeats.
Eleanor Larson was right; it was indeed the Fleming family backing those rogues.
Finn Taylor pushed open the door to his wife's bedroom and saw her playing video games.
'Huh!?' He knew that his wife was never one to play video games. 'Something is amiss.'
He walked over, yet she didn't chase him out.
It seemed like Yvette Larson's impression of her husband had improved drastically because of the birthday party.
"Are you having fun?"
"Ah! I want to kill someone!" Yvette Larson yelled out, venting the unhappiness in her heart.
Finn Taylor didn't say anything and simply sat by the side, watching her play.
Bang!
Yvette Larson was shot in the head, and the game ended.
She flung the game console onto the bed in a huff.
"Are you annoyed? Is it because of those rogues who are stirring up trouble for you?"
Yvette Larson looked at her husband in amazement. "How did you know?"
"I've already investigated the matter; it's the Fleming family."
"The Fleming family? It's them? Why would they do that? We have nothing against them."
"Who knows? Let's go to the Fleming family's house tomorrow. I'll follow you there."
After giving it some thought, Yvette Larson decided not to refuse him. "Ok."
The next day.
Yvette Larson headed to the Fleming family with her husband.
Quince Larson had already found out about it when she was still on her way there. Upon learning of it, he was over the moon.
He seemed to be able to visualize the scene where Yvette Larson humiliated herself and was chased out of the Larson family.
The Fleming family was a top-tier family in San Francisco. Although they weren't in the top ten, they were still leagues ahead of second-tier families like the Larson family.
When Finn Taylor and Yvette Larson reached the Fleming family's gate, a few security officers walked up to stop them.
From a simple glance, Finn Taylor could tell that the security officers were skilled in martial arts. One had learned Taekwondo, while the other had learned Muay Thai.
"Who are you?"

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
