Chapter 180 I Am Leaving The battle at the unfinished building at the East Residence did not become widely known, thanks to the efforts of the Dragon Team and Phoenix Team under Regulus Pavilion.
Only a handful of people knew about it.
And only a small fraction of these people knew the truth.
What others knew was that Finnegan had extensive connections. When he found out that his sister had been kidnapped by Solomon, the Haimowitz family, the Miles family, and the Langdon family led by the Wahlstrom family, voluntarily sent people to help him rescue her.
As for the truth that Finnegan single-handedly killed everyone, it was all concealed.
Everyone present at the scene from each family had been warned and reminded not to bring it up.
With an air of nonchalance, Sawyer, who was not at all worried about Finnegan, chuckled after learning from Zachary. âThis kid really has a knack for stirring up trouble. You guys must be having a hard time cleaning up his mess.â
He paused before asking, âBut has that little guy from the Weatherby family been taken care of? If he keeps poking around, Finneganâs secrets wonât stay hidden for long. After all, they are one of the Five Great Families. If they really want to delve into it, they can still find some clues.â
Zachary replied, âRey has already spoken with Hank, asking him to clarify the matters concerning Golden Hades and the Zymons family and to ensure that the Zymons family withdraws as agreed.
There shouldnât be any more issues!â
Upon hearing this, Sawyer paused for a moment and then sighed. âIâm also involved in this matter. Itâs unpredictable!â
However, he was not bothered. âEverything happens for a reason. Let these little ones have their fun.â
âWhat? The Wahlstrom family assisted Finnegan with the help of the Haimowitz and Langdon families?â
Meanwhile, Brutus also received the news.
He found it hard to accept. âHave they lost their minds? Why does it feel like theyâre not just indebted to Finnegan, but acting as if theyâre his subordinates?â
The person giving the report shook his head. âIâm not entirely sure either. But this is what we found.
The Wahlstrom family helped Finnegan surround Solomon, wiping out everyone. Then, Finnegan defeated Solomon and left triumphantly! The scene is still being cleaned up by the Wahlstrom family and other families. The blockade hasnât even been lifted yet.â
With a fierce punch on the table, Brutus exclaimed, âYasmine, it seems you were right. Finnegan can now be considered the top figure among the younger generation in Nuthana. Even Stephen might not be able to rally these top-tier families of Nuthana to his aid!â
At this point, Brutus, unable to contain his anger, slammed his fist again. âBut Solomon is really an idiot.
If he wants revenge, why does he have to make such a big show of it? Couldnât he have just taken out Finnegan in the dark?â
Yasmine furrowed her brows and began, âI think-â

Just as she was speaking, the ringing of her phone interrupted her..
Upon seeing the caller ID, Yasmine exclaimed, âItâs Hank!â
Brutus and Catherine fell silent, watching Yasmine answer the phone.
A few minutes later, after finishing her call, Yasmine said solemnly, âNot long ago, Reynard, the person in charge of Regulus Pavilion, approached Hank to discuss the matter of Golden Hades and the Zymons family. He also presented irrefutable evidence showing a connection between Hank and them.â
Brutusâ eyelid twitched. âHas Mr. Weatherby been held accountable?â
âHe hasnât.â Yasmine shook her head. âBut General Reynard demanded that Hank ensure the Zymons family adheres to the agreement and withdraws, and then he steps back.â
Brutusâ face darkened. âWeâve been planning for months. How can we just give up halfway? And what about our investment in the Zymons family? Wouldnât it all be wasted?â
Catherine asked, âYasmine, what does Mr. Weatherby mean?â
Yasmine waved her hand, signaling the person reporting to leave first.
She then said, âBrutus, Hank asked you to contact the Zymons family. As long as the Zymons family can find a suitable and appropriate reason, he will give the Zymons family one last chance to take on the matter of Golden Hades and ensure that the Zymons family does not have to withdraw! If the Zymons family canât find a way to survive⦠then donât blame him for personally driving the Zymons family out!â
Brutus nodded. âAll right. Iâll get in touch with Seth later. But what about Finnegan that b*stard? Did Mr.
Weatherby give any instructions?â
The current state of affairs had largely unfolded as a result of Finneganâs actions.
Yasmine nodded. An image of Finnegan-unrestrained and slightly domineering-flashed through he mind. âLeave Finnegan to me,â she said. âJust handle the matters of the Zymons family.â
âOkay.â
Meanwhile, a high-end private medical facility was filled with people dressed in black, causing passersby to instinctively steer clear.
Outside an operating room, Elsa, who had just arrived, saw Duncan, who had already been treated for his injuries and had a plaster cast on his left shoulder. âHow is Solomon doing?â
In a cold and indifferent tone, Duncan responded, âFinnegan has whipped him no less than a hundred times. There isnât a single patch of skin left intact on his entire body. Moreover, he has multiple bone fractures, and he is no longer a man. The doctor said thereâs no threat to his life, but heâs completely incapacitated.â
Elsaâs body shook.
She knew that Solomon was seriously injured, but she didnât expect it to be so severe.
This essentially meant that even if Solomon survived, his life would be worse than death.
She quickly regained her composure. âWhat exactly happened then? Is it really as the rumors suggest, that the Wahlstrom family helped Finnegan defeat Solomon?â
Duncan looked up.
Of course, he had also heard the rumors that were currently circulating outside.
Yet, he chose not to reveal the truth. He knew for sure that someone was covering up for Finnegan.
Considering their years of acquaintance, Duncan offered a kind warning. âMs. Elsa, no matter what happened today, donât provoke Finnegan anymore. Heâs not someone ordinary people can handle.
Also, please tell Mr. Seth that I am leaving!â
Elsa asked anxiously, âYouâre leaving? Didnât you promise my brother that you would always protect Solomon until he becomes a qualified successor?â
Duncan calmly turned around. âI traded my life for Mr. Zymons. I owe Mr. Seth nothing. Iâm going to find Finnegan and let him deal with me as he pleases!â
Elsaâs expression subtly changed. She wanted to stop him, but she eventually held back.
âDuncan, thank you for your dedication to the Zymons family after all these years.â
Duncan did not respond, calmly leaving with his heavily injured body.
Elsa turned around. Just as she was about to press the bell to ask about the surgery, her phone rang.
Seeing her elder brotherâs name on the screen, she immediately moved to a secluded spot to answer the call. âSeth!â
A slightly weary male voice came over the phone. âIâm aware of the situation. Solomon was too reckless and ignorant.â
âSeth, Finneganâs connections are indeed beyond our expectations, but we canât let it slide with what happened to Solomon!â
On the other end of the phone, Seth fell silent.
A moment later, he said, âElsie, Brutus called me just now. He said Mr. Weatherby is willing to give the Zymons family another chance, but the prerequisite is that we must come up with a suitable reason ourselves. Only then can he help us and ensure that the Zymons family doesnât have to withdraw!â
He had no desire to discuss the matter of retaliating against Finnegan.
A thought flashed through Elsaâs mind, and she asked, âSeth, do we still have a chance? This matter has already caught the attention of the people in Durbaine, and people from Regulus Pavilion have arrived.â
âWhy not? Itâs just a matter of whether weâre ruthless enough.â
Soon after, Seth said something that left Elsa looking shocked and bewildered.
Once the call ended, her face had turned pale. âHow could he do this?â
Sethâs idea made her heart pound.
