Chapter 93 It Does Not Matter Despite Finneganâs calm tone, the words sounded like a death knell to Oscar, whose eyes widened in fear.
âFinnegan, Golden Hades is my master. You-â
Whoosh!
Before Oscar could finish, Finnegan kicked Isaacâs broken sword with his right leg. As the sword streaked through the air, it pierced Oscarâs throat. A cripple like him had no way of dodging it.
The momentum of the swordâs thrust threw Oscar to the ground together with his wheelchair.
Finnegan had decisively killed Oscar without wasting any words.
The latterâs 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, âGo back and tell Tristan to chop off Killianâs limbs and donate two billion to charity by tomorrow. Iâll let the Chomsky family off the hook. Otherwise⦠Iâll destroy them all!â
Upon hearing Finneganâs threat, the bodyguard collapsed onto the ground in fear before scrambling back to his feet and running away.
Finnegan clapped his hands. âItâs really disappointing that we donât get to finish our drink now.â
Logan said with a smile, âDr. Larkin, including Caesar, all five of Golden Hadesâ top disciples. have been killed by you. Iâm sure he will seek revenge on you soon!â
Finnegan shrugged in response and walked out of the farmhouse. âDeath awaits whoever stands in my way. It doesnât matter if youâre the Five Unparalleled or the Ten Illustrious. Anyway, Iâll let you guys tie up loose ends here.â
Finnegan turned around to give the brightly lit house a look.
Bennettâs figure flashed across his mind.
It seems Iâll only get to test him the next time.
After watching Finnegan depart, Logan instructed, âStephen, Iâll leave this place to you. As for the Sanchez family, try your best to reassure them with a reasonable excuse. Tonightâs [
incident must never get out.â
âUnderstood!â
After Logan left with Jace, Stephen brought over more than ten elites from the Wright family to clean up the scene.
It wasnât until they were done that he went to see Bennett and Nancy.
Due to the inclement weather and the distance, Nancy didnât manage to see what had transpired. She frantically asked, âStephen, what happened? Is Finnegan all right?â
Ready with an excuse, Stephen replied, âFinnegan is quite the fighter. He beat those men off without suffering a scratch.â He took out a stack of cash from his pocket. âAlso, this is compensation for the trauma we caused your family and the fruit trees we snapped outside.â
Nancy quickly declined, âStephen, those trees only cost seven to eight hundred. What youâre giving us is too much.â
âDonât worry about it. You can treat us to a free meal on our next visit.â
Once everything was cleared up, Stephen made sure the money was left behind before heading off.
Bennett, who had been silent throughout, said, âNancy, clean up the kitchen, while I clear the dinnerware and leftovers.â
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. âDisciples of Golden Hades? Terra Realm Grandmasters in Absolute Rank? Who in the world is Rhiaâs brother? Why does he give me a bad feeling?â Bennett looked toward the main door of the farmhouse. âThose men who came to clean up were elites of the Wright family. Is Stephen and the old man who came earlierâ¦â
Bennettâs expression darkened. âI sure hope they didnât notice anything at all.â
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.
âFinnegan, are the Goldberg, Five really all dead?â
Alisha, who picked Finnegan up earlier, had learned of what happened, but she couldnât help feeling worried still.
The Goldberg Five were Golden Hadesâ
favorite disciples, after all.
Now that theyâre dead, how is the brutal Golden Hades going to react?
Finnegan swept the water off his hair with his hand as he replied, âTheyâre probably arriving at the crematorium.â
Having ascertained that the men were dead, Alisha gulped.
âFinnegan, who in the world are you? Why does Mr. Wright-â
Knowing what Alisha wanted to ask, Finnegan leaned forward to lift her chin while curling his lips mischievously. âMs. Wahlstrom, Old Mr. Wahlstrom sent you to me to do my bidding and not question me. So, mind your own business; otherwise-â
Smooch!
Finnegan froze, while the air stood still.
He subsequently snapped, âWhat are you doing, you vixen?â
She actually stole a kiss from me?
Flashing a vampish smile, Alisha replied in a seductive tone, âI couldnât help myself when you came so close to me. As to what Iâm doing, isnât it obvious? Itâs just that my lust might be stronger than yours.
Are you able to handle it?â
Her response rendered Finnegan speechless.
Not only did she steal a kiss from me, but she also twisted my words to escalate the situation. Sheâs so good at flirting with others!
Finnegan got up and took a step back. âI will never be your-â
âIf youâre into that kind of thing, Iâm happy to call you Daddy,â Alisha said before Finnegan could finish.
F*ck! Sheâs a natural seductress!
Finnegan felt that he couldnât hold back any longer.
After clearing his throat and pretending not to have heard the comment, Finnegan turned around to avoid looking at Alishaâs alluring pose. âI asked you to investigate Firebird Group Have you done so?â
Alisha knew that Finnegan was trying to sidestep her advances due to his concern that something might happen between them. She didnât press on despite the cheeky glint in her ||

eyes.
âYes. As of now, Firebird Groupâs 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.â She paused and flashed a cheeky grin. âDuring my investigations, I have also discovered something interesting. Firebird Groupâs current predicament is the work of someone behind the scenes!â
Finnegan narrowed his eyes. âThereâs a mastermind behind this? Who?â
Alisha replied, âLiam and the Sable family!â
Hmm?
The answer caught Finnegan by surprise. âLiam? Why?â
Alisha had already done her homework. âThere 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 Groupâs pharmaceutical business. By doing so, theyâll be able to expand their own production through taking over Firebird Groupâs share.â
Upon understanding what was going on, Finnegan sneered, âHeâs playing the good guy and bad guy at the same time!â
âIn that case, should we put them in their place?â Alisha asked.
Finnegan shook their head. âThereâs no hurry to do so. Letâs deal with the Chomsky family first. The lowly Sable family doesnât deserve my attention yet!â
