Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This old monk was the one who had told Frida Cameron that Finn Taylor was born to be a jinx while Donovan Taylor was born to be a saint.
But he was dead now. His death had been so sudden, and his last words had been so mysterious.
Ginger sobbed and left that dilapidated temple after burning his master. He then bumped into Finn Taylor. Now, he was even seated in the latter’s car.
Although he was chuckling and joking on the surface, he wasn’t calm at all inwardly. ‘Master, is he the one—my enemy? But he looks so ordinary. Is he just hiding his true abilities like I am?’
Ginger didn’t dare to act rashly, keeping his master’s words in mind. Without full confidence, he wouldn’t do anything.
‘What’s the truth behind my family background? Why did I grow up in the Temple of Great Compassion? But why did Master offer me such lavish meals even when I was growing up in the temple, and who is he? What did Master mean by the birth of a saint and a jinx? Why am I fated to be enemies with him? Master, why did you leave me with so many doubts?’
Just as Ginger was still contemplating these questions, Finn Taylor stopped the car.
Diddy Bar.
“Come on, Mossback. Let’s have a drink.” Finn Taylor had brought Ginger here.
There were only two scenarios where a person would reveal their true self. One was when they were angry, and the other was when they were drunk.
Now, Finn Taylor was trying to make the other drunk.
Ginger didn’t seem the slightest bit annoyed by Finn Taylor’s nickname for him. In fact, he acted as though he now knew the latter well and even addressed him as ‘Boss.’
It seemed like they were old friends.
“Boss, I don’t have any money. You have to give me a treat!”
Finn Taylor seemed to take that name in stride too. He didn’t even try to stop the other.
Ginger thought that he had won, and his heart leaped with joy.
How was he to know that Finn Taylor had other plans up his sleeves? Since the latter couldn’t tell why the other was trying to get close to him, he would simply keep him near. At the very least, he would be able to see what the other wanted from him.
The pair settled down in the bar and started drinking.
Finn Taylor had been specially trained to hold his liquor by Maximus Brugel. Now, he could easily handle any amount of liquor and could even control when he got drunk.
He had everything under control.
…
After being cursed at by Mossback, Lucy Lawrence was indignant. She swore that she was going to take her revenge.
As such, she looked for Nathan Smith—Philip Smith’s son.
He had once been the most prominent young master in the whole of San Diego. Although the title of richest man in the city wasn’t his any longer, Philip Smith wasn’t doing badly either. As such, Nathan Smith’s lifestyle was still rather extravagant.
Of course, Nathan Smith once had a fling with Lucy Lawrence. It was just that the former had lost his interest not long after it started.
However, he had once visited Lucy Lawrence’s rented apartment and seen her roommate’s photo.
Her name seemed to be Lindsey Taylor.
Nathan Smith had quite a deep interest in that young lady and kept pestering Lucy Lawrence to introduce them to each other.
Lucy Lawrence was no fool—she knew that Nathan Smith was no longer interested in her.
The only thing that would interest him now would be news of Lindsey Taylor. As such, she wouldn’t use her precious cards so casually.
By now, Lucy Lawrence had arrived at Diddy Bar too. This was because Nathan Smith was there as well.
The pair were seated in the VIP section upstairs.
“Brother Nathan, I was bullied today! You have to take revenge on my behalf!” As she said so, she leaned into Nathan Smith’s embrace.
“What’s the matter?”
“I met a retard who said that I was a pampered, plastic b*tch! I haven’t even undergone any plastic surgery, Brother Nathan! I really love you! I’m not a pampered or spoiled princess!”
Nathan Smith felt only disgust when he heard that. ‘She should know best whether she’s spoiled or whether she’s gone for plastic surgery.’
Of course, he wasn’t going to voice his thoughts. He couldn’t possibly admit that he had bedded a spoiled brat whose face was a result of plastic surgery.
That’d be humiliating for Nathan Smith himself.
“Which idiot was that? I’ll teach him a lesson for you. Speaking of which, when can I get to meet your roommate?”
At the mention of Lindsey Taylor, Lucy Lawrence was displeased. ‘Lindsey Taylor isn’t even as pretty as me. Why does he keep harping on that? Are all men like this? Do they only want the forbidden fruit?’
“Brother Nathan, if you help me settle this matter, I’ll be sure to help you out too.” Just then, Lucy Lawrence spotted Finn Taylor and Mossback downstairs. “Hey, why are they here?”
“What’s the matter? Why are you so worked up?” Seeing Lucy Lawrence act that way, Nathan Smith was annoyed. ‘It’s embarrassing that she’s acting this way. Since she’s sitting with me, my reputation will be ruined too.’
“Brother Nathan, it’s them. Those are the men I was talking about.”
Nathan Smith glanced in the direction Lucy Lawrence was pointing. Realizing that they were two ordinary men, he walked over with several men behind him.
At that very moment, Finn Taylor was wondering how much alcohol it would take to make Mossback drunk. ‘Why does it feel as though he’s been trained too? He can drink as much as me!’
Just then, Nathan Smith arrived with his men.
“B*stard! Mossback, I’ve finally caught you. I’m going to beat you to death this time.” Lucy Lawrence was fuming as she glared at Mossback.
It seemed like the best way to hurt someone was to pick at the very faults that they didn’t want to admit to, just like how Lucy Lawrence refused to admit that she was spoiled and that she’d gone under the knife.
“So you were the ones who bad-mouthed my girlfriend.”
Finn Taylor didn’t try to protect the other, and he pointed at Ginger. “He was the one—I didn’t say a thing.”
He then turned to Lucy Lawrence. “You can ask her if you don’t believe me.”
Lucy Lawrence was taken aback, but Finn Taylor was telling the truth. Hence, she nodded.
“Oh, so you’re the one who bullied my girlfriend. Beat him up.” Just like that, Nathan Smith’s men started teaching Mossback a lesson.
As for Finn Taylor, he simply watched on by the sidelines, not intending to step in at all.
He was waiting for Mossback to fight back. He believed that these people were no match for the other.
However, Finn Taylor was disappointed. Mossback didn’t even retaliate; it was as though he was just an ordinary person.
‘How could he tolerate that? It seems like I’ve underestimated him. This is getting more interesting.’
After beating Mossback up, Nathan Smith’s men finally left.
Looking at the swollen face of Mossback, Finn Taylor couldn’t help but burst out into laughter. “Hahaha! You’re such a poor thing, Mossback!”
The man in question looked at Finn Taylor indignantly. “Boss, what kind of boss are you? Why didn’t you stand up for me?”
“Hahaha! Alright, I have a party tomorrow.. I’ll bring you along for a meal.”
