Chapter 343: Divorce
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Finn Taylor was clearly hurt by his mother-in-law’s words. He wanted to rebut her, but he held his tongue.
He had no way of rebuking her because that was the truth.?‘If I do lose, Yvette will indeed have to suffer alongside me and become a beggar.’ f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦
“I won’t lose, Mom. I’ll definitely win.”
Linda James waved him off. “Don’t spout nonsense. You admitted to having less than a 10% chance of winning. If you’re really thinking about Yvette, you should get a divorce from her. If you win, I’ll definitely let you guys get back together. If you lose, I’ll thank you for being selfless.”
Finn Taylor’s hand was trembling; he had never been this emotional.?‘How dare Linda James ask me to divorce Yvette? I’ve treated them so well, yet she dares to say something like that?’
“Scram! I’ll never get a divorce from Yvette!” Finn Taylor no longer wanted to hear what the other had to say and walked away.
As he walked to the door, he heard the latter say, “Finn, I know that the reason you’re against a divorce isn’t that you love Yvette but that you’re selfish. You’re just trying to find excuses for yourself.”
Finn Taylor cupped his ears, rushed into his car, and sped off with incredible speed.
That day, he drove around the entire city, eventually parking in an alley.
Finn Taylor got out of the car and walked deeper into the alley but was stopped by two muscular men. Then, the former quickly took punches all over and was beaten to the ground.
This was an underground arena where the wealthy liked to gather and make bets. Strong men were also able to earn money by fighting in the arena here since they won money every time they entered a match.
Of course, the winner would win more than the other.
Finn Taylor walked in and headed straight for the fighting ring. However, there was still an ongoing match, and the winner hadn’t been determined yet.
Finn Taylor’s sudden entrance threw everyone off.
Before anyone could regain their senses, the intruder was punched to the ground by the two fighters.
Now, the entire venue was in an uproar.
‘A challenge!’?Everyone finally understood the situation: Someone was here to offer a challenge.
It had been years since this had happened, and the crowd erupted into cheers.
Everyone was in high spirits.
The staff of the arena recognized the importance of the situation as well, and they immediately sent someone to subdue Finn Taylor.
The first one up was a typical muscular man, yet he was beaten down in just one punch.
The second was a professional Muay Thai athlete, and he too was struck down in just one blow.
Finn Taylor managed to defeat two professionals with just one punch—even that Muay Thai master.
‘This is so strange. That guy is one of the best around here, yet he got knocked out so easily!’?
Finally, the people in the underground arena no longer dared to take the situation lightly and sent ten fighters out.
The challenge in the ring was still ongoing.
One by one, the matches grew longer in length as the more skilled fighters entered the ring. Yet, the result remained unchanged—not a single one of them won.
Of course, word of this spread like wildfire.
Pacific Heights, Hunter Sullivan’s residence.
Horned Serpent had rushed here. “Hunter, Hunter!”
Hunter Sullivan was stunned. “Why are you in such a hurry? Is your house on fire?”
“Something is wrong!”
“Something is wrong?” Hunter Sullivan was still unaware of the situation and was thus able to keep his cool.
“F-Finn Taylor is at the underground arena and has already defeated dozens of fighters.”
Hunter Sullivan’s breath hitched, and he jolted up from his seat. “What? Where is he? Bring me there at once.”
He then informed the remaining two guardians, and the four of them rushed toward the underground arena together.
At the underground arena, dozens of people had collapsed beside Finn Taylor, each moaning in pain.
These men had charged toward Finn Taylor to challenge the latter earlier, but they had all faced the same fate.
Who would’ve thought that this would be the result of a challenge to the arena?
Eventually, the person in charge could no longer take the pressure. He trembled as he walked up toward Finn Taylor, who simply got himself ready for battle.
“D-don’t. Sir, I’m not here to challenge you. I’m not that skilled; I’m just the person who runs this place. Can I ask if we have offended you?”
Finn Taylor stood still as he asked, “Do you have any other fighters?”
“Yes, but they aren’t any good.”
Finn Taylor waved him off. “Forget it then.”
By the time the four guardians arrived, the challenge had already ended. They breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that their boss was doing just fine.
“Why are you guys here, Mr. Sullivan?” The man in charge of the arena recognized the other.
Hunter Sullivan pointed at Finn Taylor. “He’s my boss.”
He didn’t try to beat around the bush.
The man in charge suddenly understood the situation. “I see. The men who were beaten up are our men, but they’re fine. Don’t worry, Mr. Sullivan.”
Hunter Sullivan nodded. “How much damage did he cause? We’ll pay for it.”
“You must be joking, Mr. Sullivan. It’s a huge honor that you’re here. How could we take your money?”
Along the way back, the four guardians were treated to Finn Taylor’s ‘street racing’ yet again. Their boss was acting out of the ordinary, and the four guardians knew that something must’ve happened.
“Master Peregrine, can you tell us what’s going on?” The four men felt as though their hearts were in their mouths.
Finn Taylor slammed on the brakes, and the four men were thrown forward, nearly flying out of the car.
Finn Taylor picked up a cigarette and lit it. “Linda James asked me to divorce Yvette.”
The men were stunned. “What?”
“It’s because I don’t have a 10% chance of winning against Melanie Taylor.”
“But I’m sure Yvette won’t get a divorce from you. She’ll definitely stay by your side.”
“That’s right. Linda James is so selfish. Just ignore her.”
“Selfish? I can’t deny that she’s right. After all, even I’m not confident of winning this battle.”
The car fell into silence.
A long while passed before Hunter Sullivan finally asked, “Are you really going to get a divorce?”
Finn Taylor happened to finish his cigarette. He stubbed it and flung it into the trash can nearby before slamming down on the accelerator.
There was no answer to that question.
