Chapter 181 I Will Rise To Power At night, at the secluded small courtyard of the Wahlstrom residence, Finnegan stepped out of the room, having just finished treating Rhiannon.
âIs your sister okay?â
Alisha walked over, holding a bowl of food in her hands.
Finnegan took it and walked over to sit down on the side.
After taking a bite, he replied, âItâs just superficial injuries. No bones were hurt. A few days of rest and sheâll be fine. Iâm sorry for the inconvenience during this time, but please try to comfort her.â
âAll right!â
After finishing his meal, Finnegan, with a full stomach, dialed Lindseyâs number.
The call connected to reveal Lindseyâs voice which was tinged with a hint of resentment. âOh, so you still remember to call me? I thought youâd forgotten all about me after you started dating Bernice.â
Desmond and Quiana had told Rhiannon, who had then told Lindsey.
However, at this moment. Finnegan had no interest in discussing these matters. âMs. Lindsey, Rhia had a minor accident today and got hurt. I told my parents that she went on a business trip with Ms.
Haimowitz. If my mom calls you, donât let it slip.
âIs Rhia seriously injured?
Finnegan replied, âItâs a minor issue. A few days of rest will sort it out.â
Lindsey didnât doubt him. âWhere is she? Iâll come over and take a look.â
Finnegan had wanted to refuse, but he thought that Rhiannon would be emotionally unstable when she woke up. and it would be better if Lindsey comforted her instead.
He immediately gave Lindsey the address.
After ending the call, Finnegan asked, âHow did things go?â
Alisha looked at Finnegan with mixed feelings and replied, âThe people from Regulus Pavilion contacted the heads of our families. They said that today, our families joined forces to deal with Solomon, so the situation didnât escalate. As for the Zymons family, there hasnât been any movement so far.â
Finnegan keenly noticed the oddity in Alishaâs behavior. âYouâre wondering why Regulus Pavilion asked you to take the blame for me?â
âI know you wonât speak about it.
Nodding, Finnegan stood up and walked toward the courtyard gate. âThatâs right. I wonât speak about it.â
Finnegan pushed open the iron gate. âCome in!â
O Standing boldly outside the door was Duncan.
Alishaâs beautiful eyes narrowed. She instantly became alert.
The elites of the Wahlstrom family also emerged from the shadows.
Of course, they recognized Duncan as someone from Solomonâs side.
With a poker face, Duncan followed Finnegan into the courtyard. âIâm here to fulfill my promise. You can kill me or flay me as you wish!â
Finnegan sat down, giving him a casual glance. âSeth saved you?â
Duncan nodded, but he didnât speak of how Seth had saved him years ago.
Finnegan didnât intend to pry any further. âYou traded your own life for Solomonâs. You have no more ties with the Zymons family, right?â
âYes!â
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan asked again, âSo, are you saying your life is definitely mine now?â
Duncan replied indifferently. âMy life or death is all up to you!â
âAll right!â Finnegan stood up, walked over to him, and patted his shoulder. âThen you better live well for me. You can die when I decide itâs time for you to.
After speaking, Finnegan walked past him. âVixen, take me to the Wright residence.â
Alishaâs expression subtly shifted. âHeâs staying here?â
âDonât worry. Heâs a person with principles. He wonât mess aroundâ
Alisha still felt uneasy. Before leaving, she discreetly instructed the elites of the Wahlstrom family. âIf thereâs any unusual behavior from Duncan, attack him as a group.â
× Duncan remained utterly unfazed. He walked over to a tree, leaned against it, and sat down. He was as as a statue.
After ensuring no one was lurking in the shadows an hour later, Alisha finally drove to the Wright residence.
As soon as they arrived, she noticed a familiar car.
Alisha was taken aback. âMy grandpa is here?â
That car was indeed owned by Theoden, but it was rarely driven out. Only the Wahlstrom family knew about it.
Finnegan looked at the car and asked, âYou told your father about my master?â
Alisha nodded.
âThen heâs probably here to see my master. You should wait in the car.â
still Finnegan left and arrived at Nathanâs small courtyard.
In the courtyard tonight, in addition to Nathan and Stephen, there were also Zachary and Romona, as as Theoden and Bradley.
The Wahlstroms were kneeling before Sawyer.
Theoden had a respectful look on his face.
Seeing Finnegan enter, Sawyer waved his hand with a smile. âAll right, you father and son can get up now, When I extended a helping hand to the Wahlstrom family, it was simply because I felt a connection. Just treat Finnegan with the same respect you give me, and thereâs no need to be so formal.â
Theoden and Bradley dared not disobey him. They stood up and greeted Finnegan, âDr. Larkin!â
With a grunt of acknowledgment, Finnegan walked over and sat down, casually resting one leg on the nearby stone bench. âYouâre leaving?â
Finnegan hadnât planned to come over that night.
However, Sawyer had said that he would be leaving first thing in the morning, so Finnegan could only Come over.
Sawyer chuckled. âYou all should leave first. As for you, Theo, thereâs no need to worry about whoâs eyeing the Wahlstrom family. The Wright family wonât let the Wahlstrom family fall.â
âUnderstood!â
With a respectful nod, Theoden, accompanied by Bradley, left the small courtyard with Zachary and the others.
When no one else was around. Sawyerâs smile vanished from his face. âYou little rascal, youâve really overstepped your bounds today. If it werenât for Nate and the others handling things behind the scenes, youâd be famous nationwide by now!â
Finnegan frowned. âBut he touched my sister!â
Sawyer looked deeply into Finneganâs eyes. âIâm not saying you canât take action. But before you do, I hope you consider your own exit strategy. You canât always expect others to clean up your mess. If you can stir up trouble, it means youâve got skills. But being able to clean up your own mess is where the real confidence and strength lie!â
Finneganâs eyes narrowed slightly. He was deep in thought.
Seeing that Finnegan had roughly understood, Sawyer said meaningfully, âReasoning with enemies is useless. Only absolute cruelty and dominance can make them behave. But sometimes, being blindly cruel and domineering without considering the consequences can be very dangerous! The enemy will learn from experience. The same tactics may not work for you next time.â
Finnegan nodded. âI understand!â
âI believe you understand too.â Sawyer said with a smile, patting his shoulder. âBy the way, what path do you want to take in the future?â
O What path do I want to take in the future?
Finnegan looked up at the night sky. âI want to be a doctor, to honor my parents while theyâre still alive, and to have a family.â
Sawyer nodded and said, âDreams are indeed wonderful. But what if things donât go as planned? What if you donât get what you want, or even worse, your family gets involved?â
A glint sparked in Finneganâs eyes. âIf this path is filled with obstacles, then I will remove all these obstacles.â
âWhat if these obstacles come one after another?â
An astonishing killing intent erupted from Finnegan.
The temperature in the courtyard suddenly dropped. âThen I will remove the obstacles completely, not leaving a trace behind. If this still doesnât work, then I will rise to power, reach the zenith, and establish a presence so formidable that it deters anyone from harboring malicious intentions!â
Sawyer l laughed heartily. âIt seems I donât need to say much. You have a clear goal for your life ahead. Join me for a drink. Who knows when weâll meet again after this farewell!â
