Chapter 372: Felicity’s Death
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The couple had never even considered dueling Maximus Brugel. They hadn’t even noticed the man jumping onto the rooftop, and he had destroyed their entire hut as he jumped off it.
His powers were truly incredible. Even together, the couple was no match for him, and they quickly gave up on the idea.
“Can we not go?” Lancelot pleaded.
“Come on then. Let’s have a match.”
“Forget it. I think we’d better go.”
…
By the time Finn Taylor awoke, he was already lying in a hotel room with Felicity by his side.
Lancelot and Guinevere were seated by the window. “You’re awake.”
“You guys didn’t kill me?” At the moment that he fainted, Finn Taylor had wondered if the couple was going to kill him because they held grudges against him—to be more accurate, they held a grudge against his father. However, he’d have to pay for it.
“Kill you? Didn’t you ask for our help? What, were you asking us to kill you?”
“Huh?” Finn Taylor was confused. ‘Didn’t they want to kill me? Why are they suddenly helping me?’
“What? Why are you so suspicious of us when we’re already willing to help you out? If we wanted to kill you, we would’ve done so a long time ago.”
Finn Taylor gave it some thought. ‘He’s right. Given their abilities, it wouldn’t even take much for them to kill me. Why would they let me off when I’ll make trouble for them in the future?’
“Although I don’t know why you guys suddenly changed your minds, I’m willing to trust you. I’d like to ask for your help to get the Taylor family back. Would you be willing to help me?”
“Brat, I just realized that you’re really daring. Don’t you know that we bear grudges against the Taylor family?”
“Yes, but I’m from the Taylor family too. Aren’t you guys still willing to help me?”
Finn Taylor’s words stumped them. ‘He makes sense. Since we’ve already decided to help him, we might as well help him get the Taylor family back too.’
“Tell us more about it.”
Finn Taylor then told the couple everything that had happened.
“Benjamin Taylor, Julian Taylor, Jefferson Taylor.” Lancelot read the names through. He then laughed and said, “Alright, we’ll go with you.”
Benjamin Taylor was already an old man. The trouble lay with his two sons—Julian Taylor and Jefferson Taylor.
These two men were known to be well-trained and strong, and average men were probably no match for them. However, that wasn’t the case with Lancelot and Guinevere.
Finn Taylor shook Felicity awake prior to the group setting off for the former’s mansion to pick Wendy Jensen up. This was all done before heading to the Taylor family’s residence.
Wendy Jensen was nearly trembling in fear as she sat beside the couple. She naturally knew what her husband had done to the couple, yet her son had gotten into an alliance with them! ‘What has he done all these years?’
Very quickly, the group arrived at the Taylor family’s residence.
As they got out of the car, they spotted Benjamin Taylor seated on the master’s chair. Beside him stood his two sons.
“Wendy Jensen, you’ve been missing for a few days. I knew that you two were up to something. Since you’re here, you better not even think of leaving.”
Finn Taylor chuckled and turned to Lancelot and Guinevere. “They could’ve set up traps for us. Be careful.”
The couple inched forward and carefully entered the house. They glanced around, realizing that only the trio was present. ‘But that’s impossible. They already expected this to happen, so how could they not have set up any traps?’
But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t detect any traps around. ‘That’s strange. Forget it—let’s just fight it out.’
The couple charged forward, and the Taylor brothers didn’t back down.
Everything seemed unexpectedly normal as though it was a fair fight.
‘That’s impossible. They already knew that we were going to come, so why would they make this a fair fight? Something is amiss!’
Yet, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
The battle went on, and just as expected, the brothers were no match for the couple.
The two men were already losing their energy.
That was even more bizarre.
If the brothers could win against the couple, it would make sense for them not to have placed any traps. Yet, their abilities were no match for the couple!
Just as Finn Taylor was lost in his thoughts, he saw two needles fly silently toward Lancelot and Guinevere. ‘No wonder it seemed like there was nobody else in this place. What they prepared weren’t men but silent weapons! They want to kill Lancelot and Guinevere without anyone knowing!’
“Fight!” Finn Taylor rushed forward without any hesitation.
These two needles didn’t really matter to him, but his worry was that there would be more than just two needles. Things would take an awkward turn then.
Just then, his greatest fear came true.
Those two needles were only the beginning. Following that, needles were shot at Finn Taylor and the couple continuously.
Thankfully, Finn Taylor was agile and managed to catch them all.
However, they seemed to be coming at an even greater speed—it was now getting harder for him to catch the needles.
Just as he caught one in front of him, one flew toward him from the back.
He was about to turn around, but it was too late because a needle was headed for Guinevere.
If he were to turn around and save himself from that needle, Guinevere would definitely die. Yet, he knew that he’d be seriously injured if he didn’t turn around and catch that needle.
Witnessing the scene, a smile spread across Felicity’s face—the prettiest smile she had ever had in her life.
She then rushed forward and took the blow for Master Peregrine.
By the time the latter turned around, blood was spurting out from the woman.
“Finn, can I call you that? Am I pretty?”
Finn Taylor picked the woman up in his arms, who was toeing the line between life and death. “Yes, you’re beautiful. Felicity, you must pull through.”
“Thank you, Master. I’m really happy to have saved you..” With that, she shut her eyes as her breathing gradually got shallower until it eventually stopped.
