Chapter 136 Dig His Own Grave
“What are you doing? You’re not healed yet! This is the medicine Mr. Larkin asked you to take.”
At the first light of dawn, Finnegan, who had stayed in the courtyard of the Wahlstrom residence, was awakened by the commotion. noveldrama
After putting his clothes on, he went outside, only to see the cold young man holding a black blade departing.
The efforts of some of the Wahlstroms in persuading him proved to be futile.
At this moment, Alisha came out of her room.
With a frown, she asked, “This is the person you saved, Finnegan? How ungrateful. He’s leaving without even thanking you.”
The cold young man turned to look at Finnegan.
His expression had softened significantly, and the fierceness in his eyes had diminished.
“Come inside,” said Finnegan as he received the medicine before going back to his room.
After hesitating for a while, the cold young man clutched his blade and followed Finnegan into the room.
“You’ve only recovered a bit. Take this first.”
The young man stepped forward and grabbed the medicine, swallowing everything in one go.
Alisha’s lips quirked up. “Weirdo!”
He had refused everyone else when they had offered him medicine. He had wanted to leave.
Yet, Finnegan’s short sentence was sufficient enough to stop him from leaving, and he even took the medicine.
“Get out.”
Finnegan waved at Alisha.
This b*stard!
Alisha stepped outside grumpily.
“Let’s talk. Have a seat,” said Finnegan as he pointed at the chair beside him.
However, the young man remained standing, having no intention to sit at all.
Finnegan smiled and did not force the young man. “Judging by your injury, it seems you were pursued by a group of fighters, and I think one of them is a Terra Realm Grandmaster. Care to share what happened?”
The young man shook his head.
“Then can I ask where you’re from, your background, and who your mentor is?”
The young man shook his head once again.
Finnegan was rendered speechless, realizing that the young man was even less talkative than he thought.
In fact, he did not speak at all.
Even so, Finnegan did not force him to speak. “All right, I won’t force you, but you don’t need to be in a rush to leave. After my treatment, you need at least two days to recover. You can stay here. No one will disturb you.”
With that said, Finnegan stood up.
Since he could not extract information, he would just consider this as him building rapport.
“My name is Doom Star,” the young man suddenly said when Finnegan neared the door.
Finnegan looked back. “Doom Star?”
“Yes, Doom Star,” the young man confirmed.
Upon hearing him, Finnegan looked Doom Star up and down.
He indeed seemed to be without parents, bearing the fate of a doom star.
The corner of Finnegan’s mouth curved up. “You lost your mother at birth and your father at the age of one. Your grandparents were in an accident when you were nearly two years old. You’re indeed a doom star. However… at least the person who has been taking care of you for over twenty years is still alive, so don’t worry about bringing bad luck to me. Just rest well. You can leave once you’ve recovered.”
After saying that, Finnegan went out and said to Alisha, “Come have coffee with me.”
Doom Star trembled as he stared at Finnegan’s figure.
