The Untouchable Son-In-Law: The Master Peregrine Chapter 119
Advertisement
Mr. Miller was also known as Connor Miller.
Of course, Michael Sinclair was a nobody to him. While Michael Sinclair was a show-off, he was just from a second-tier family in New York.
Moreover, he wasn't even the Sinclair family head; he was just the family's eldest son. Although he had bragged about it, the truth was that the Sinclair family had only gotten a chance to interact with the Walker family because they had begged their grandparents.
But who knew if they would be able to score that deal?
In fact, the Walker family was still below the Terre family. Although there were four major families, there was a vast gap between them.
For example, the Bowie family couldn't even compare to the White family.
Connor Miller didn't even spare Michael Sinclair a glance and only chatted with Finn Taylor. "It was such a loss to Pierre Terre that you left the Terre family."
Connor Miller hadn't said much, but Michael Sinclair was visibly shaken.
Based on what the former had said, Finn Taylor knew the Terre family head, Pierre Terre.
"He was young and wild and thought that he could take everything under his control. He thought nothing of others, and he managed to take charge of the entire White family in three months. If not for his father's friendship with the Terre family, do you think the latter would still be around today?"
Michael Sinclair understood nothing about what Finn Taylor was talking about. However, he thought about something his father had casually mentioned to him: The Terre family had once been the most powerful family in New York. However, the Terre family head—Pierre Terre—had a fiery temper.
Yet, nobody in New York could do anything about him because of his family background.
But just then, another family rose up suddenly. In just three months, that family rose up and took over the Terre family's position as the most powerful family in the city, and that family was none other than the White family.

'From what Finn Taylor said, he raised the White family. But how is that possible? Isn't he just a useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family? Who's he to have such great power to be able to calm the raging storms?'
"Forget it. After I left the Terre family, Pierre Terre came to look for me several times, but I refused to return. There are some relationships that can never be mended."
The Terre family from New York's four major families seemed to be high and mighty, yet Finn Taylor had casually helped to raise them when he had trained in New York at the tender age of 14.
It was just a pity that two consecutive family heads lived short lives and that the third—Pierre Terre—was slightly rebellious.
Because he had become the Terre family head, he had no fear of Finn Taylor. As such, the latter had simply raised another family—the White family—to suppress the Terre family.
With that done, Finn Taylor disappeared from the picture completely, never interfering in the White family's affairs ever again.
At the tender age of 14, he had gotten himself involved in New York's business world.
Finn Taylor was a prodigious tactician, and nobody even came close. It was during that period that he got to know Connor Miller, the Terre family's chef.
Finn Taylor had an eye for picking out people, and he could tell right away that Connor Miller was teachable. As such, he quickly started teaching the latter culinary skills.
Using potatoes as generals and salt and sugar as soldiers, Finn Taylor imparted a great deal of tactical knowledge to Connor Miller. In the end, the latter became Pierre Terre's teacher.
After Pierre Terre took over the Terre family's helm, it was Connor Miller who guided the former as other families tried to take down the Terre family.
Unfortunately, Pierre Terre ruthlessly forced Connor Miller out of the family. Then, the latter had found himself a job in a restaurant as a chef.

While Finn Taylor and Connor Miller chatted unceasingly without missing a beat, none of the others present understood anything they were saying.
Although Michael Sinclair couldn't understand most of the conversation, he had caught some bits and pieces of it. Thinking about how it had been these two people who had orchestrated all those events, he was horrified.
Nobody in the room even dared to take a deep breath.
Finally, the duo was done with their chat. It was only then that they seemed to have thought of Michael Sinclair and the rest.
"Michael Sinclair, you have such an interesting wife." Finn Taylor glanced at him from the corner of his eye and then said, "Choose between your wife and the Sinclair family. You can only have one."
Finn Taylor wasn't threatening Michael Sinclair. He was simply letting the latter know of this.
If this had happened in the past, Michael Sinclair would've been sure that the former was simply bragging. After all, he was just a useless matrilocal son-in-law of the Larson family. But now that he had seen just how close he was with Connor Miller and had heard the conversation between them, he didn't dare to doubt the former any longer.
He stood up and took hesitant steps up to Annie Fraser, his face ashen.
Annie Fraser could feel only coldness from her husband. She was afraid—terrified, in fact. "Michael Sinclair, I'm your wife. What are you going to do to me? He's just a piece of trash. Are you really going to do as he says?"
Michael Sinclair gave no care to what she was saying and simply picked up a chair, viciously smashing it on her head.
Blood flowed down the latter's face.
Annie Fraser's mind went blank, and she dropped onto the ground. However, she was still conscious. With blood in her mouth, she stuttered, "W-why? Why are you helping that b*tch, Yvette Larson?"
The moment Annie Fraser uttered those words, Michael Sinclair shut his eyes. 'Although I had exerted my strength earlier, I had aimed for her forehead. Annie's injury looks serious, but it isn't fatal. Unfortunately, this woman has a death wish. We've already gotten to this situation, yet she still dares to call Yvette Larson a b*tch! Now, there is only death awaiting her.'
When Michael Sinclair opened his eyes, his gaze was like a dark hole.
He aimed the leg of the chair right at Annie Fraser's temple.
Psst!
Blood slowly flowed out—Annie Fraser was dead.
She had died because of her arrogance and contempt for others. She had thought that she could do as she wished with the Sinclair family backing her.
Unfortunately, there was always someone greater.
"Michael Sinclair, I heard that there's someone named Heather Larson in your company."
Michael Sinclair gave it some thought and nodded. "Yes, yes. We do have someone named Heather Larson in our company."
As he said that, he suddenly thought of how Finn Taylor's wife was named Yvette Larson. 'Could they be sisters?'
"Yes, she's my wife's elder sister. You must help us to take good care of her," said Finn Taylor blandly.
However, Michael Sinclair was confused as to what the former meant by that.
Then, Finn Taylor continued and explained himself. "Heather Larson is a social butterfly and is a promiscuous woman. You must help her to find some capable people."

Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.

[French] Le chat de Schrödinger - An Ephyria Story
Une fille, ayant vécu l'enfer par deux fois, est devenue un paradoxe. Morte, mais vivante. Présente mais absente. Son existence même est remise en cause par le monde lui-même. 1 chap / semaine (le dimanche) au mieux. Je suis étudiant, donc il est possible qu'il n'y est pas de chapitre durant certaines semaines, bien que j'essayerais de faire des chapitres, même s'ils sont courts (peut-être un chapitre extra ?) Au sujet de la fiction, il y aura peut-être un harem, mais que des femmes ! Pourquoi ? Pourquoi pas. Je ne me sens juste pas à l'aise d'écrire sur un homme faisant l'amour à mon personnage. Et oui, il y aura des citrons, mais pas de suite. Aussi, le texte sera très cru. Si jamais, pour une quelconque raison, un des personnages voit un pénis, j'écrirais clairement que c'est un pénis. De même pour la femme.

Chains
Eric Bane is one tough thug, but even he's not immortal. After a deadly ambush, he falls unconscious only to awaken in a castle preparing to meet a king. He was apparently summoned to a parallel world of fantasy to act as a hero who wields one of six Divine Weapons. However, being unfamiliar with video games, he doesn't see the new world the same way the other five do. After being framed for rape, Eric ends up hobbling out of the city with no money, no party, and draining motivation. However, if there's one thing that Samson is good at, it's spite. If the world is going to kick him to the curb, then he's going to beat the shit out of the next person he sees to get back on track. As Eric grows stronger through a natural progression, he slowly discovers the hidden history of the world and the dark secrets of the Church of the Trinity. And while some might wait for the right moment to strike, Samson isn't one for patience. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> This is a story that I've already gotten pretty far with, but I want to release it slowly over a few days to see what the critics say. I haven't finished it, but I've got a general idea where I want to go with it. Maturity for violence, sexual themes, and slavery. No outright sex or nudity, and there is no cruelty exhibited towards slaves. Tell me how you like it.
