A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 94 Final Showdown

“Bad news, Boss! Mr. Oscar and his fellow disciples are all dead!” the Chomsky family’s bodyguard, who had been

spared, shouted anxiously as he rushed into the Chomsky family- owned residential building.

Tristan, who was awaiting the good news, came running out of the house.

“What did you say?”

“They’re dead! Mr. Oscar and the others have all been killed by Finnegan!” the bodyguard replied in terror.

What? How is that possible?

Tristan trembled as he took a few steps back.

He then ran up to the bodyguard, grabbed him by the shoulders, and shook him violently as he yelled, “Eleazar is

the head of the Goldberg Five! He’s an Enigma Realm fighter in Absolute Rank! How could he possibly get killed?”

Tristan slapped the bodyguard hard across the face. “Get lost! You must be lying to me!”

Eleazar and the others were his trump card, so he couldn’t accept the fact that Finnegan had killed them.

The bodyguard rubbed his stinging cheek as he exclaimed, “I saw it with my own eyes, Boss! They really are dead!”

Unable to accept that fact, Tristan kicked the bodyguard down to the floor. “That’s impossible! You’re lying to me!

How could you possibly have made it back alive if they were all dead?”

He was in complete denial.

Not wanting to get hit again, the bodyguard didn’t dare say another word as he lay on the

floor.

After taking his anger and frustration out on the bodyguard, Tristan let out a sigh and sat down on the stairs behind

him. He was so distraught that he didn’t even care if it was wet. “Are they all really dead?”

As much as he refused to believe the bodyguard’s statement, he knew the bodyguard wouldn’t dare lie to him.

“Yes, they are. They were no match for Finnegan at all, the bodyguard replied cautiously

Tristan looked as though he had aged ten years in an instant when he heard that.

“F*ck… How did things turn out like this?”

I thought killing Finnegan would be as easy as squashing an ant! Not only did I suffer huge losses as a result, but I’ve

even lost my most powerful men to him! Is he really that powerful? Where has he been throughout the past five

years?

He was snapped out of his train of thought when the bodyguard said softly, “Also, Finnegant wanted me to tell you

to donate two billion and break Mr. Killian’s limbs by tomorrow, or he will destroy the Chomsky family completely.”

“How dare he!”

Tristan leaped to his feet and clenched his fists angrily when he heard that.

“I think you should admit defeat, Boss. Not only is Finnegan really powerful, but he also has helpers,” the bodyguard

added hesitantly.

Tristan’s eyes grew cold. “Helpers? Who are they?”

“I don’t know who those people are, but Mr. Oscar said Finnegan has a Terra Realm fighter in Absolute Rank by his

side!” The bodyguard then steeled himself as he continued, “As such, I would like to tender my resignation, Boss.”

Not wanting to die protecting the Chomsky family, the bodyguard then turned around and ran off as quickly as his

legs could carry him.

Bang!

A loud gunshot rang out, and the bodyguard dropped dead a second later.

“I paid you guys a lot of money so that you guys would protect me with your lives in times of danger. Don’t even

think about fleeing without contributing anything!” Tristan said with a gun in his hand and a vicious look on his face.

He glared at the remaining bodyguards and let out a disdainful snort before heading back inside the house.

Tristan’s expression grew increasingly vicious as he smashed a vase on the floor. “Finnegan has a Terra Realm

fighter in Absolute Rank by his side? Could that be his mentor? Yes, that has to be the case! I mean, how else would

he be so powerful? But so what if his mentor is a Terra Realin fighter in Absolute Rank? Does he really think he can

destroy my life’s work? Not a chance! You forced me to do this, Finnegan! Just you wait!”

Tristan was prepared to go all out for a final showdown.

In order to avoid succumbing to Alisha’s temptation, Finnegan went straight back to Dragon Bay.

The lights in the living room were on even though it was past eleven.

Finnegan let out a sigh at the mere thought of his parents waiting for him as he entered.

Sure enough, Desmond and Quiana were still awake with gloomy looks on their faces.

“Mom, Dad, I’m home. Where’s Rhia?” he asked as he didn’t see Rhiannon’s car outside.

Quiana shot Desmond a fierce glare and said, “Ask your father! He’s nothing but a slave when faced with his

brother!”

Finnegan had a bad feeling the moment he heard that.

Although his parents had argued a lot in the past, he had never heard Quiana speak like that.

Desmond, who could already start walking with the help of a crutch, said, “Mind your language when speaking in

front of the kids, Quiana! I was just apologizing on behalf of Finny! What did I do wrong?”

“Apologizing? You’re nothing but a slave when it comes to your brother! Raymond and his family deserved to have

that marriage canceled! Ximena isn’t worthy of marrying into the Haimowitz family, so it only makes sense that

they called off the marriage! Why should Finny be blamed for it? Why should we apologize to them? They’ve been

bullying our family for so many years now! Have they ever apologized to us?”

“I don’t have time to argue with an ignorant shrew like you!” Desmond looked the other way.

Finnegan knew something was up the moment he heard Desmond use such abusive language toward Quiana.

He quickly stepped in front of Quiana, who was about to lose her temper, and asked, “What happened, Mom? What

did Uncle Raymond and his family do this time?”

“What else do you think they did? Your uncle blames you entirely for Ximena’s marriage being called off. They even

demanded that we compensate them for it! Your father, too, thinks Ximena would’ve successfully gotten engaged if

it weren’t for you. He let your uncle and his family into the house while I was out shopping for groceries this

morning. transferred two million into your aunt’s bank account, and let Xavier take Rhia’s car! When Rhia found out

about it, he scolded her for being immature and told her to get lost, so Rha left immediately after that!”

Finnegan’s expression darkened. “Uncle Rayınond and his family sure have gone too far!” He then shifted his gaze

toward Desmond. “Dad, about this-”

Desmond cut him off, “Don’t listen to your mom! We’re only lending them the money and the car! They’ll return the

money once they can afford to. Rhia has a car that belongs to her company, and she doesn’t really use her car

anyway! Xavier said he’d return the car after two days!”

“Return them? Knowing your brother and his family, do you seriously think they’ll return them?” Quiana shouted.

Desmond kept quiet after that.

He doubted them as well, but he couldn’t bring himself to turn them down either.

“As I said, you’re a total slave when it comes to them!” Quiana then grabbed Finnegan by the hand. “You’ve seen

how your father defends them, Finny! Don’t you dare be as heartless as he is! You will treat Max tomorrow, or I will

disown you!”

He had a father who defended his older brother’s family and a mother who sided with her younger brother’s family.

Finnegan never liked Raymond’s and Adrian’s families, and being trapped in the middle by his parents only made

him hate them even more.

Familial matters were so complicated that even the greatest of men would have trouble dealing with them, and

Finnegan was no different.

“Mom, Uncle Raymond will eventually have to return the stuff they took. I won’t let them take advantage of us like

that. As for Max… Well, there isn’t much I can do. I’ve already had someone contact those who are compatible, so

it shouldn’t be a problem. You and Dad should just stop fighting and go to bed.”

“Finny, Max is-”

“I’m tired, Mom. Whatever it is can wait till tomorrow!”
