Maximus Brugel told his disciple all about the dangers the latter was in—including Melanie Taylor and Levi Taylor.

Although Finn Taylor had already thought about them, he had never expected his ex-mother-in-law to be one of them.?‘I’ve never been on good terms with Linda James. In fact, she was one of the main reasons I got a divorce from Yvette. However, I never thought that she would be after my life!’?

“Master, you must be kidding. I don’t think she would go as far as wanting me dead.”

“Well, I never said that she would kill you. I’m just telling you the truth—she’s been getting close to Melanie Taylor lately. I’m telling you this because I want you to keep your guard up. Although she was your mother-in-law, you have to remember that you’re already divorced. Nobody knows if she’ll do something extreme. What you have to do now is manage the Nile Street project well and defeat Melanie Taylor, right?”

Finn Taylor nodded.?‘That’s my only chance at defeating Melanie Taylor!’?

“But I’m telling you that your plan won’t work. She has too many ways to deal with you, and there’s no way you’ll be able to match up to the investments she receives. What’s most important now is to protect yourself. You’ll have nothing if you lose your life.”

Finn Taylor gave his master’s words some thought.

“From now on, you’ll have to train yourself every day. Don’t neglect your martial arts training. I hope that I don’t have to see a corpse the next time I visit. Remember that I may be able to save you once, but I can’t always be there. Once that happens, you’ll be done for.”

Finn Taylor had to admit that his master was right.?‘My life is in danger. If someone ever threatens my life and Master isn’t there, I’ll be dead meat.’?

“Master, what do I have to do?”

“That’s easy. Start by running a marathon every day.”

‘That’s easy.’?Finn Taylor was in disbelief. “Master, are you hoodwinking me? Why does that sound so easy?”

“Easy? I’m not done. You can start by running a marathon today. Tomorrow, run with a rock tied to you. The following day, do it with two rocks. Increase the number of rocks every day.”

Hearing that, Finn Taylor finally understood the challenge.

“Let’s talk about your younger brother then. He suddenly went missing, and it seems like he’s getting ready to kill you with Gremlin. The latter doesn’t matter—I’ll kill him for you when I meet him next time. But have you thought about what you’re going to do with your younger brother? Are you going to kill him?”

‘Killing Donovan? My own brother?’?For some reason, Finn Taylor couldn’t bring himself to do that, just like how Melanie Taylor couldn’t bring herself to kill him that day.

He couldn’t kill his younger brother because they shared the same blood. How was he supposed to face his ancestors if he were to kill his biological younger brother?

There was no way he could do so. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

He was distant relatives with Melanie Taylor. Even though they shared the same ancestors, they were generations apart.

However, Donovan Taylor was different. He was Finn Taylor’s own twin brother! Would he really feel nothing when killing him?

“Master, I still stand by what I said—I’ll lock him up for life.”

“I’ve thought about that too, but do you really think you won’t feel guilty when you face your ancestors? Don’t you know what Claudius did to Hamlet? How do you think they would feel if they were to meet again?”

“Master, let’s not talk about that. I’m not Cladius, and I won’t let my brother become Hamlet.”

“Alright, let’s talk about Ginger then. He’s an interesting figure, and you should also know that he tried to get close to you on purpose. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have kept your guard up against him.”

“Master, I’ve had a gut feeling about that man. Perhaps he was the one who came up with the story of a jinx and a saint, but I have no evidence. That’s why I kept him by my side to see what he was up to. I didn’t have any time or effort to spare him, and that’s why things are in such a mess. I’m sure you know. Ginger is missing, and so is my younger brother. I didn’t even know what my mother-in-law did. Master, I feel like I’m trapped. I don’t even know how to face him. I’m faced with so many dangers, and there’s so much I have to do, but I really don’t have the confidence to handle them all.”

Maximus Brugel looked at his disciple fondly.

The older man understood his disciple—the latter had already been planning his life out at the age of six.?‘He is a rather opinionated man, so why is he in such a mess now? Actually, there is only one reason—he’s gotten divorced from Yvette Larson.’

“Finn, let me tell you something. There’s only one reason your life is in such a mess, and it’s that you’re missing someone in your life. I’m sure you know who I’m talking about.”

The younger man stiffened up because he came to a sudden realization that everything had happened because his routines had suddenly changed. “What should I do then? I should reconcile with her, right? But I promised to only look for her once I settled everything.”

“What, do you think you can’t put your pride down? Or is there another reason? Remember that you have to be shameless to win a woman over.”

‘Er…’?Finn Taylor had never expected his master to give him such advice.
