Chapter 93 It Does Not Matter
Despite Finnegan’s calm tone, the words sounded like a death knell to Oscar, whose eyes widened in fear.
“Finnegan, Golden Hades is my master. You-”
Whoosh!
Before Oscar could finish, Finnegan kicked Isaac’s broken sword with his right leg. As the sword streaked through the air, it pierced Oscar’s throat. A cripple like him had no way of dodging it.
The momentum of the sword’s thrust threw Oscar to the ground together with his wheelchair.
Finnegan had decisively killed Oscar without wasting any words.
The latter’s death caused the bodyguard in charge of him to turn tail and flee, for he had no intention of losing his life.
When Jace attempted to pursue him, Finnegan stopped him and said to the bodyguard, “Go back and tell Tristan to chop off Killian’s limbs and donate two billion to charity by tomorrow. I’ll let the Chomsky family off the hook. Otherwise… I’ll destroy them all!”
Upon hearing Finnegan’s threat, the bodyguard collapsed onto the ground in fear before scrambling back to his feet and running away.
Finnegan clapped his hands. “It’s really disappointing that we don’t get to finish our drink
now.”
Logan said with a smile, “Dr. Larkin, including Caesar, all five of Golden Hades’ top disciples. have been killed by you. I’m sure he will seek revenge on you soon!”
Finnegan shrugged in response and walked out of the farmhouse. “Death awaits whoever stands in my way. It doesn’t matter if you’re the Five Unparalleled or the Ten Illustrious. Anyway, I’ll let you guys tie up loose ends here.”
Finnegan turned around to give the brightly lit house a look.
Bennett’s figure flashed across his mind.
It seems I’ll only get to test him the next time.
After watching Finnegan depart, Logan instructed, “Stephen, I’ll leave this place to you. As for the Sanchez family, try your best to reassure them with a reasonable excuse. Tonight’s
[
incident must never get out.”
“Understood!”
After Logan left with Jace, Stephen brought over more than ten elites from the Wright family to clean up the scene.
It wasn’t until they were done that he went to see Bennett and Nancy.
Due to the inclement weather and the distance, Nancy didn’t manage to see what had transpired. She frantically asked, “Stephen, what happened? Is Finnegan all right?”
Ready with an excuse, Stephen replied, “Finnegan is quite the fighter. He beat those men off without suffering a scratch.” He took out a stack of cash from his pocket. “Also, this is compensation for the trauma we caused your family and the fruit trees we snapped outside.”
Nancy quickly declined, “Stephen, those trees only cost seven to eight hundred. What you’re giving us is too much.”
“Don’t worry about it. You can treat us to a free meal on our next visit.”
Once everything was cleared up, Stephen made sure the money was left behind before heading off. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Bennett, who had been silent throughout, said, “Nancy, clean up the kitchen, while I clear the dinnerware and leftovers.”
By the time Bennett arrived at the pavilion, everyone was already gone.
Other than broken tree stumps, there was no other residual trace of a battle. The blood that had flowed earlier had seeped into the ground along with the rain.
As Bennett recalled the figure from before, a piercing glint flashed across his eyes. “Disciples of Golden Hades? Terra Realm Grandmasters in Absolute Rank? Who in the world is Rhia’s brother? Why does he give me a bad feeling?” Bennett looked toward the main door of the farmhouse. “Those men who came to clean up were elites of the Wright family. Is Stephen and the old man who came earlier…” Bennett’s expression darkened. “I sure hope they didn’t notice anything at all.”
Meanwhile, at the hotel Alisha was staying in, Finnegan had taken a shower and emerged from the bathroom after changing into a new set of clothes.
“Finnegan, are the Goldberg, Five really all dead?”
Alisha, who picked Finnegan up earlier, had learned of what happened, but she couldn’t help feeling worried still.
The Goldberg Five were Golden Hades’
favorite disciples, after all.
Now that they’re dead, how is the brutal Golden Hades going to react?
Finnegan swept the water off his hair with his hand as he replied, “They’re probably arriving at the crematorium.”
Having ascertained that the men were dead, Alisha gulped.
“Finnegan, who in the world are you? Why does Mr. Wright-”
Knowing what Alisha wanted to ask, Finnegan leaned forward to lift her chin while curling his lips mischievously. “Ms. Wahlstrom, Old Mr. Wahlstrom sent you to me to do my bidding and not question me. So, mind your own business; otherwise-”
Smooch!
Finnegan froze, while the air stood still.
He subsequently snapped, “What are you doing, you vixen?”
She actually stole a kiss from me?
Flashing a vampish smile, Alisha replied in a seductive tone, “I couldn’t help myself when you came so close to me. As to what I’m doing, isn’t it obvious? It’s just that my lust might be stronger than yours.
Are you able to handle it?”
Her response rendered Finnegan speechless.
Not only did she steal a kiss from me, but she also twisted my words to escalate the situation. She’s so good at flirting with others!
Finnegan got up and took a step back. “I will never be your-”
“If you’re into that kind of thing, I’m happy to call you Daddy,” Alisha said before Finnegan could finish.
F*ck! She’s a natural seductress!
Finnegan felt that he couldn’t hold back any longer.
After clearing his throat and pretending not to have heard the comment, Finnegan turned around to avoid looking at Alisha’s alluring pose. “I asked you to investigate Firebird Group Have you done so?”
Alisha knew that Finnegan was trying to sidestep her advances due to his concern that something might happen between them. She didn’t press on despite the cheeky glint in her

eyes.
“Yes. As of now, Firebird Group’s pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and wine businesses are in trouble. Their market share has been deteriorating, while associates upstream and downstream have
stopped working with them, placing Firebird Group in an awkward situation now. The only way for them to survive is to come up with new products or find a large partner to work with.” She paused and flashed a cheeky grin. “During my investigations, I have also discovered something interesting. Firebird Group’s current predicament is the work of someone behind the scenes!”
Finnegan narrowed his eyes. “There’s a mastermind behind this? Who?”
Alisha replied, “Liam and the Sable family!”
Hmm?
The answer caught Finnegan by surprise. “Liam? Why?”
Alisha had already done her homework. “There are two reasons. Firstly, Liam has had a crush on Bernice for many years. If Firebird Group got into trouble, he could take the opportunity to bring up the idea of marrying Bernice in the name of helping the Zimmerman family. Secondly, the Sable family wants to ruin Firebird Group’s pharmaceutical business. By doing so, they’ll be able to expand their own production through taking over Firebird Group’s share.”
Upon understanding what was going on, Finnegan sneered, “He’s playing the good guy and bad guy at the same time!”
“In that case, should we put them in their place?” Alisha asked.
Finnegan shook their head. “There’s no hurry to do so. Let’s deal with the Chomsky family first. The lowly Sable family doesn’t deserve my attention yet!”
