The night passed uneventfully.
Finnegan rose early to train, and after having breakfast with Bernice, they both left Dragon Bay.
Feeling threatened, Bernice wasted over ten minutes to send Finnegan to Jerome Medical Clinic before finally driving off to work at the office.
This left Finnegan feeling somewhat helpless. “Has my wife discovered something?”
Originally, she could have saved some time by going directly to the office, but instead, she took a detour to drop him off at the clinic.
She even instructed him to wait for her in the evening, so that after work, she could come and pick him up to go home together.
The impression she gave was that he was not allowed any opportunity to interact with the opposite sex.
However, Finnegan did not resent Bernice's behavior. On the contrary, he was somewhat pleased.
This indicated that he was important to Bernice. Otherwise, why would she be so anxious?
Therefore, Finnegan was in a good mood. He greeted Jerome and the others, then sat down to start seeing patients.
As it neared ten o'clock, the number of patients gradually increased, with at least fifty patients waiting for their turn.
The majority of them were lined up in front of Finnegan's consultation desk.
At that moment, an ordinary-looking white sedan arrived, pulling over to the side of the road.
Inside the car, to everyone's surprise, sat Norman and his grandson, Skylar.
Casting a glance at the bustling clinic, Norman's face remained impassive, betraying no hint of emotion. “Have you found anything?” he asked.
Skylar replied, “I've investigated his parents and grandparents, and their backgrounds are quite ordinary. Apart from one uncle who has some influence due to his assets of over a hundred million in Jipsdale, there's nothing special about his family background. It was for this reason that he was persecuted five years ago. When he returned after being missing for five years, he completely changed. Not only does he possess extraordinary medical skills, but he also has formidable physical abilities, likely not inferior to those in Postliminary Rank of Enigma Realm. Then there is the Wahlstrom family, the wealthy Langdon family of Nuthana, and the Haimowitz, Miles, and Chappell families from Jadeborough, all of whom were his supporters. Some members from these families were even placed under his command, ready to take orders from him.”
He paused before adding, “By the way, he also cured Ms. Waylynn of the Wright family, making him an honored guest of the Wright family.”
Norman's face remained impassive. “Is there anything else?”
All these aren't enough to make Josef let go of his hatred over his son being crippled and to expel Jacqueline from the Martial Arts Alliance.
However, Skylar shook his head. “This is all I could find.”
He then said, “Even if he does have some connections, the Dunn family doesn't need to worry, right? After all, even the Five Great Families of Loang have to respect our family. No matter how strong his connections are, could he possibly be on good terms with the Five Great Families?”
The Five Great Families were indeed the pillars of Loang.
Who is actually worthy of being on good terms with them?
Norman said, “Old Mr. Wahlstrom is not a man who speaks recklessly. If he said that I can't afford to provoke him, then I certainly can't. Moreover, if he doesn't have a powerful background, Old Mr. Wahlstrom would not declare me his enemy for Finnegan's sake.”
Skylar furrowed his brow. “What should we do then?”
“I'll see how things go and then make a decision. Is he truly worth my submission and friendship?”
Just then, two vans abruptly pulled up and stopped, blocking the entrance to Jerome Medical Clinic.
Sitting at the doorway, grinding medicinal herbs, Casper's mouth twitched. “D*mn it, don't tell me someone's looking for trouble again?”
There has been a commotion every single day for the past few days.
Finnegan furrowed his brows, looking up. He was genuinely fed up with the actions of those who came to cause trouble at the clinic.
When Finnegan saw the person alighting from the car, his expression softened slightly. However, the look of disgust in his eyes intensified.
