Chapter 87: Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Liam Is Here A light drizzle began to fall.

Bennett Farmhouse was a family farmhouse transformed from an old residential dwelling.

Furthermore, there were self-raised livestock and homegrown green vegetables, and a winding river surrounded the farmhouse.

Stephen led the group and arrived at the farmhouse. “Don’t be fooled by this place’s shabby appearance; the owner is a superb cook.” Here, he lowered his voice and continued, “To be honest, my grandpa secretly visits this place at least several times every year. He would order the roasted suckling pig whenever he visited. Even if he didn’t visit, he would also pre-order it and have his family collect it to enjoy at home.”

Inhaling the charcoal-grilled aroma that permeated the air, Finnegan exclaimed, “It’s a nice place indeed!”

“Dr. Larkin, please have a seat in the gazebo by the river with Mr. Tree. Jace and I will order some finger food to go with the drinks.”

Finnegan and Logan nodded and went to the gazebo by the river. From there, they could see over a dozen makeshift fishing platforms along the riverbank.

However, no one was fishing due to the late hour and the light rain.

In fact, there were no other guests except them.

Logan took a deep breath, savoring the moment. “This makes me feel like I’ve returned to those three months,” he said.

Two years ago, while on a mission, he was severely injured by a mysterious Grandmaster, causing him to be in critical condition.

Hence, Reynard sent Logan to be treated by Finnegan for three months. During that period. Logan and Finnegan spent almost every day in a similarly serene and quiet environment.

Finnegan teased, “If you like this feeling, just go to my place and live in seclusion. It happens to be vacant now.”

“Forget it.” Logan chuckled bitterly and said, “Back then, I felt so bored, even with your company. If I were to stay there on my own, I might lose my mind within a month.”

At that, he looked at Finnegan in admiration. “I heard you lived there alone for five years. How remarkable!”

Even I, at my age, can’t bear the loneliness when the night falls. Yet, someone as young as Finnegan stayed there for five years. I don’t think I can ever do that.

Feeling at a loss for words, Finnegan responded, “Do you think I wanted that? It’s all because of that old thing!”

Back then, a year before Sawyer let me return to my home, he would only allow me to sleep for four hours daily and thoroughly tormented me. I was truly in a living hell.

A year later, I thought I could finally return home when Sawyer was leaving. Unexpectedly, he poisoned me with ninety-nine different poisons. He told me I had to detoxify the poisons first before going home.

If not, death would be the only thing waiting for me, even when I return home.

Hence, I had no choice but to bear the loneliness and stayed for four more years. It wasn’t until Mandy came to seek medical treatment that I finally detoxified the final poison.

Logan chuckled, for he knew the reason behind Finnegan not being able to leave back then. “Dr.

Aiello’s way of training his disciple is indeed unique.”

Just as he finished speaking, several cars suddenly sped into the compound, splashing water everywhere before finally stopping beside Stephen’s ordinary sedan in unison.

The car doors flung open at the same time, and over a dozen bodyguards in black got out of the vehicles.

From the Bentley in the center, two identical men got out. One looked gentlemanly, while the other appeared rougher.

An alluring woman walked out of the back row. Surprisingly, it was Liam’s secretary, Hailey.

A hint of amusement flickered in Finnegan’s eyes.

1.

Seems like Liam is here for me.

Liam got out of the car only after Hailey held up an umbrella. He surveyed the surroundings with disgust and finally fixed his gaze on Finnegan. Letting out a cold snort, he walked toward Finnegan and the others with Hailey and the two identical men.

Before he got close, he spoke with a wicked smirk. “It looks like you’re in a good mood, Finnegan!”

Finnegan responded in a playful tone, “I’m not like some people, who had their marriage. proposal rejected and their birthday gift to others become a joke. Not only that, but their schemes and tricks ended up in failure. So of course I’m in a good mood!”

When Liam heard the remarks that were clearly targeted at him, his expression turned grun.

However, recalling his purpose of seeking out Finnegan, Liam suppressed his fury and said, “Finnegan, you don’t have to insult me like this since everyone knows what exactly is going on. I’m here today to discuss something with you.”

“Oh? Let me guess. You can’t even wait for three months, and you’re ready to threaten me to leave Bernie?” Finnegan questioned.

Glancing at Logan-who seemed amused-Liam found it strange. Yet, he thought little of it and replied to Finnegan, “That’s only one of the reasons.”

Finnegan’s interest was piqued. “We have problems other than Bernie?” Looking over at the dozen or so bodyguards standing in the distance, he continued, “That’s not enough people if you’re here to take revenge on me.”

Liam was infuriated by the feeling of being looked down upon. However, having witnessed Finnegan’s capabilities, Liam understood that these few people were certainly not Finnegan’s match.

“I heard that Mr. Miles lost over thirty pounds after being cured by you, and his health wasn’t affected.

Besides, the old wound on his chest that tore open again was completely healed, and even the scar had disappeared. I’m sure you have some extraordinarily effective weight-loss medicine and wound medicine, right?” said Liam.

Realization dawned on Finnegan upon hearing that. He understood the reason Liam came to look for him.

The Sable family became one of the ten prominent families of Jadeborough by being successful in the pharmaceutical industry.

Moreover, they occupied almost fifty percent of the Nuthana market and held a significant position in the national pharmaceutical industry.

Now that they had discovered the result of Finnegan’s treatment on Gilbert, it wasn’t surprising that they wanted to obtain the formulas for the weight-loss medicine and wound medicine.

After revealing the purpose of his trip, Liam stopped beating around the bush. “Break up with Bernie and hand me the formulas of those two medicines! Then I can forgive the slap and the way you humiliated me last night. Otherwise, even if Dr. Magnussen, the Haimowitz. and the Miles families owe you favors, I’m sure they won’t help you anymore!”

Liam added, “After all, before the Haimowitz and Miles families helped you out last night they had already arranged a job for your sister and also let you stay at Dragon Bay temporarily. As for Dr Magnussen, he has already transferred Jerome Medical Clinic to you. which means they no longer owe you anything Logan’s gaze turned icy How dare Liam threaten Finnegan right in front of mer Finnegan cleared his throat and shot Logan a look, signaling the latter not to grow angry. “Mr. Sable, it looks like you’ve done your research!”

He even found out everything that I did in Jadeborough for the past few days.

However, this was no surprise to Finnegan. It wasn’t difficult for the Sable family to discover these, given their influence in Jadeborough.

Unfortunately for him, these are just things I don’t mind people finding out about. Doesn’t he know that?

Liam chuckled coldly and said, “Stop the nonsense. You must do as you’re told, regardless of how you feel about it. If not…” His tone was heavy with threat.

Finnegan couldn’t help but feel slightly amused. “Mr. Sable, you’re really straightforward with your threat. Don’t you think I have my pride to protect as well?”

“What gives you the right to talk about pride in front of me and the Sable family?”

Hearing that, Logan grew more furious. If it wasn’t for Finnegan stopping him, Logan really wanted to smack someone like Liam-who bullied others using his influence-to death with a slap.

Finnegan uttered in a deep voice, “You don’t have the right to act all high and mighty in front of me either. Get lost!”

I still haven’t looked into the matter in which you used Hailey to set me up last night. Now, you dare to use the Sable family’s power to oppress me? I’m not someone with a good temper.

“Finnegan, have you thought about the consequences of rejecting me?” asked Liam.

Upon hearing that, Finnegan got up slowly. “No one has the right to ask me to leave Bernie other than herself. Also, do you want the formulas that I have? You can keep dreaming!”
