Chapter 363: Alerting the Enemy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The security officer had already been suspicious of Hunter Sullivan and Andre Cavill earlier, and now that the pair was rushing up to their general, he knew that something was wrong.
As such, several security officers shielded the manager behind them.
However, the latter saw Hunter Sullivan and Andre Cavill. “It’s fine. I know them.”
The security officers nearly took the two men down, but thankfully, the manager stepped in.
“Wow! You’re such a big shot here, Leonard. Will you accept my offer for a meal together?”
The manager chuckled. “Listen to what you’re saying, Hunter. I might not go if someone else asked, but can I reject your offer?”
With that, he got into the car with Hunter Sullivan and Andre Cavill.
Andre Cavill hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly. ‘I thought that we would get into a fight, but Leonard got into the car voluntarily!’
However, Hunter Sullivan had already expected this. It wasn’t his first time interacting with the other, so he had already known that the manager was a coward who loved money.
The manager would do whatever it took for his self-interests.
The two men hadn’t made it obvious that they were only here to get the truth out of the manager.
It was natural for the latter to keep mum about it earlier on. After all, his subordinates had been present, and he would definitely be caught if he were to give anything away. But things were completely different now that he had left with the two men.
Hunter Sullivan understood him well, and the converse was true too.
The former was terribly righteous and loyal and would definitely return any favor he received.
Very quickly, the trio returned to Andre Cavill’s bar and walked into the room with the others.
Leonard wasn’t the slightest bit surprised.
“We meet again, Mr. Leonard.” Finn Taylor stood up and smiled at the manager.
Because they didn’t know each other, the latter turned to Hunter Sullivan, who didn’t hide anything. “Leonard, have you heard of Peregrine Hall?”
“Of course. Who doesn’t know about Peregrine Hall?”
“Well, the man standing in front of you is Master Peregrine.”
“M-Master Peregrine?” Leonard’s jaw dropped. He had never expected to meet the legendary Master Peregrine.
“M-Master Peregrine.” The manager’s voice trembled as he spoke.
“Don’t listen to them; they’re just scaring you. Just call me Finn Taylor.”
“Master Peregrine Taylor…”
“Just call him Finn Taylor. If you keep calling him Master Peregrine, he will feel too bad to talk to you.” Seeing how stubborn the manager was, Hunter Sullivan taught him.
“F-Finn Taylor.” Finally, Leonard managed to squeak out the other’s name. Even so, it was obvious just how anxious he was.
“Come on. Let’s have a seat.”
Finn Taylor eyed Andre Cavill, who immediately understood what he meant.
Very quickly, the latter returned with a whole tray of alcohol.
It wasn’t just any kind of alcohol. They were all worth at least thousands, yet they were being brought out as though they cost nothing.
Finn Taylor poured the manager a glass before saying, “Leonard, I’ll get straight to the point. The people staying in that room today kidnapped my mother, and the entire Peregrine Hall is now looking for them. Tell me if you have any leads, and Peregrine Hall will be grateful to you.”
It was true that the Taylor siblings were powerful and rich too, but their influence wasn’t within the country.
Finn Taylor believed that Peregrine Hall still held influence here.
Just as expected, Leonard was visibly shocked when he heard that the siblings had kidnapped the mother of Master Peregrine.
“Do you have any leads, Leonard?”
“O-of course.” This time, the manager didn’t hold anything back. “Actually, those two guests never checked out of our hotel. They’re just staying in another hotel in New York.”
He then told Finn Taylor the exact hotel and room number of the siblings and even the room numbers of their subordinates.
In fact, Leonard was the one who helped handle the paperwork for them.
“Oh right, they requested another room when we were changing hotels. If they kidnapped your mother, she might very well be held captive in that room.” He then told the other another room number.
Finn Taylor was extremely grateful to the manager for the information, and he nodded at Hunter Sullivan, who immediately brought Leonard to another room.
Hunter Sullivan then transferred 15 million dollars to the manager before sending him back personally.
Of course, Finn Taylor didn’t care about that. He was Master Peregrine; he didn’t need to manage every trivial matter personally.
“Go back and have a good rest tonight. We’re going to New York tomorrow.”
That night, the group spent the night in the bar.
The next morning, Finn Taylor was still asleep when Hunter Sullivan walked over with food in his hands. “Finn, Finn.”
Finn Taylor woke up blearily and glanced at the clock. It was already half-past six.
“Here’s some food for you. We’ll leave soon. We’ve already prepared everything, and I called our men here too.”
Finn Taylor took the food without saying much.
Halfway through his meal, he said, “Ask your men to stay here. We’ll be exposed too easily if we have too many people around. It’ll just be the six of us.”
Hunter Sullivan was stunned. “Master Peregrine, last time…”
He didn’t want to bring so many subordinates either, but it was also true that Levi Taylor’s men had defeated them the previous time.
Although he hated to admit to it, it was the truth. That was why he wanted to bring all his men along.
“I know what I’m doing.”
Because of his boss’s words, Hunter Sullivan didn’t try to argue with the other and simply headed out to tell the rest to stay in San Francisco.
‘I better take instructions from Finn Taylor. There’s no point in fighting with him.’
By the time Hunter Sullivan gave his instructions to his subordinates, Finn Taylor had finished his meal, and the others had gotten ready.
The group then set off for New York.
New York was Hunter Sullivan’s territory. Even though he had already moved to San Francisco, he still held influence there.
He believed that it wouldn’t be difficult for him to ask for some help in surrounding the Taylor siblings.
Instead of heading to that hotel, the group headed to Hunter Sullivan’s residence. After all, they had only one chance.
Finn Taylor was definitely not going to alert his enemy just yet.
