Chapter 117 Nothing Can Stop Him
Finnegan spent the entire afternoon with Casper. In the evening, Finnegan called Alisha and asked her
to
fetch him home.
As soon as Finnegan got into the car, he noticed the troubled look on Alisha’s face.
Seeing that she was nothing like herself, Finnegan fastened his seatbelt and asked, “Is something
troubling you?”
Alisha stepped on the throttle and nodded. “I have two matters on my mind. One is related to you, and
the other is related to the Wahlstrom family.”
“Tell me about the one concerning me.”
Alisha rolled her eyes and asked, “Do you not care about the issue concerning the Wahlstrom family?”
Unmoved, Finnegan answered, “Well, I care more about the matter concerning myself.”
B*stard! Alisha cursed at Finnegan inwardly and said, “Grandpa called me moments earlier, telling me
that one of the Ten Illustrious, Golden Hades, seems to be coming back to the country. He told me to
remind you to be careful.”
As one of the Five Unparalleled and the Ten Illustrious, Golden Hades was a ruthless man.
Years prior, he fled abroad to escape the authorities in Loang.
However, he was rumored to be heading back to the country to look for Finnegan to avenge the
Goldberg Five.
Upon hearing that, Finnegan yawned and said, “Well, it’s about time. He should pay for his sins.”
“Are you not afraid of him?” Alisha was shocked. Golden Hades is one of the Ten Illustrious and the
Five Unparalleled! I even heard he was an Absolute Rank Terra Realm Grandmaster. That means he’s
only one step away from being an Ether Realm Grandmaster.
“Would my fear be able to stop him from coming?” Finnegan responded with another question.
Alisha was rendered speechless, and her l*ps twitched slightly. Well, he makes sense.
“If that’s the case, you ought to be careful and keep an eye on the people close to you. Golden Hades
is a cruel and immoral man who knows no boundaries. Back then, he wanted to take revenge on some
guy, and he killed that person’s entire family and relatives. That was why he fled the country,” Alisha
warned.
Hearing that, Finnegan narrowed his eyes and realized it was something he needed to pay attention to.
“That old man was right!”
Previously, before Finnegan left the mountains, Sawyer had advised him to keep a low profile so that
the latter could avoid creating trouble for himself and the people close to him.
Bernice getting kidnapped had proven Sawyer right.
After pondering for a moment, Finnegan whipped out his phone to call Reynard.
The moment the call connected, Reynard’s exasperated voice rang out. “Why are you calling me
again?”
1.
By that point, Reynard was afraid of receiving Finnegan’s calls because that could only mean that the
latter had instructions to deliver again.
“Cut the crap!” Finnegan pursed his l*ps. “I think Golden Hades is coming back to the country to take
revenge after I killed his disciples. Have your men keep an eye out for him. Let’s see if we can locate
him before he makes his move!”
Considering Golden Hades’ capability, even having a thousand b*dyguards around wouldn’t help.
Instead, one would need to stay one step ahead of him and make the first move.
Reynard sounded a bit hesitant when he said, “Golden Hades is a Terra Realm fighter in Absolute
Rank. It’s incredibly hard to locate him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sl*pped through our fingers and
escaped the country a few years back. Having said that, if he wants to return to the country, I’ll get
Phoenix Team to stay alert and try to find him.”
“Thank you!”
After hanging up the phone, Finnegan was still worried. Hence, he told Alisha, “Send someone to
watch Bernice discreetly.”
If Tristan and Rocky were smart enough to use Bernice as leverage against Finnegan, it was safe to
assume that Golden Hades would do the same.
Alisha nodded. “Okay.”
After that, the car fell into silence.
Right when they were about to arrive at Dragon Bay, Alisha couldn’t help but grumble, “Are you really
not going to ask about the issue concerning the Wahlstrom family?”
Alisha thought it was only right for Finnegan to show his concern since she had mentioned it earlier.
Finnegan nodded and looked out the window. “First of all, I’m not interested in that because the
Wahlstrom family is involved in the underground circles. Secondly, I can guess what happened. Thus, I
didn’t see the point of asking.”
“You can guess it?”
Finnegan nodded slightly. “If I’m not mistaken, your grandpa must’ve had a confrontation with Seth
Zymons of Gablurg due to the statue. Seth is now on high alert, and the situation is spiraling out of
control. Am I right?”
Alisha’s eyes lit up because she was impressed. “You’re right. Seth and my grandpa fell out with each
other this morning. In a week’s time, they’re going to battle it out in Jadeborough. If Seth wins, the NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Wahlstrom family will have to give up Gablurg. If we win, Seth will retire and hand the underground
circle in Gablurg to us. Seth isn’t one to act unless his benefit is guaranteed. If he dares to challenge
my grandpa, it means he knows he can win.”
That was why Alisha was feeling unsettled. She was worried that something bad might happen.
In response, Finnegan uttered flatly, “There are two potential reasons for that. Seth is either so strong
that he isn’t afraid of the Wahlstrom family, or he has a strong backer. Get your grandpa to find out
which one it is!”
“That’s what my grandpa thinks, and he’s already on it!”
Finnegan nodded and said nothing more.
After all, he had never been interested in the politics and changes in the underground circles.
After reaching home, Finnegan found the living room oddly quiet.
Desmond and Quiana were sitting apart and keeping silent.
Recalling what happened earlier that morning, Finnegan wanted to feign ignorance and return to his
room.
“Finny!”
The moment he arrived at the staircase, however, Quiana called out to him.
Finnegan heaved a sigh silently and approached her. “What’s up, Mom?”
Quiana had a complicated look on her face when she said, “I understand your decision this morning
because I know you’re very disappointed in Adrian’s family. I can’t impose my thoughts on you.
However, may I know why you had Ms. Miles fire Helen?”
Evidently, Helen had already complained about the situation, but she didn’t bother to tell the truth.
Finnegan composed himself and said, “Mom, Helen deserved it.”
Afterward, he briefly told her about what had happened with Casper.
Toward the end, he sighed and added, “Mom, you watched Casper grow up. Over the past five years,
he and Josephine have been a great help to our family. On the other hand, Helen is related to us by
blood, but she has nothing on Casper. Why should I forgive her for what she did to Casper?”
Quiana’s expression changed dramatically. “Helen asked someone to beat Casper up? Is he badly
hurt?”
Quiana wasn’t an ungrateful person, so she quickly asked about Casper when she learned the truth.
“Fortunately for him, he only suffered some superficial wounds. Otherwise, I would have ensured Helen
go to jail instead of merely getting fired,” Finnegan replied.
Quiana froze momentarily before flashing a bitter smile.
There and then, she dismissed the words she had planned to tell him.
Naturally, she knew that, due to what Helen did, Finnegan would never help Max.
Right then, Desmond glanced at Finnegan, and he could still vaguely see the slap mark on the latter’s
cheek.
Desmond felt bad, but he wasn’t good at expressing himself. “Finny, take this,” he said in a deep voice
before fishing out a bank card.
Finnegan was stumped. “Dad, why are you giving me a bank card?”
Desmond leaned on his cane and rose to his feet. He then walked up to Finnegan and placed the bank
card in Finnegan’s hand. “Raymond and Qahira said I’m at fault for Xavier’s car crash. If I hadn’t let
Xavier drive the car away, they wouldn’t have gotten involved in a car accident. Hence, they want me to
pay for their kids’ medical fees.”
