Despite Finnegan's calm tone, the words sounded like a death knell to Oscar, whose eyes widened in fear.
“Finnegan, Golden Hades is my master. You—”
Whoosh!
Before Oscar could finish, Finnegan kicked Isaac's broken sword with his right leg. As the sword streaked through the air, it pierced Oscar's throat. A cripple like him had no way of dodging it.
The momentum of the sword's thrust threw Oscar to the ground together with his wheelchair.
Finnegan had decisively killed Oscar without wasting any words.
The latter's death caused the bodyguard in charge of him to turn tail and flee, for he had no intention of losing his life.
When Jace attempted to pursue him, Finnegan stopped him and said to the bodyguard, “Go back and tell Tristan to chop off Killian's limbs and donate two billion to charity by tomorrow. I'll let the Chomsky family off the hook. Otherwise... I'll destroy them all!”
Upon hearing Finnegan's threat, the bodyguard collapsed onto the ground in fear before scrambling back to his feet and running away.
Finnegan clapped his hands. “It's really disappointing that we don't get to finish our drink now.”
Logan said with a smile, “Dr. Larkin, including Caesar, all five of Golden Hades' top disciples have been killed by you. I'm sure he will seek revenge on you soon!”
Finnegan shrugged in response and walked out of the farmhouse. “Death awaits whoever stands in my way. It doesn't matter if you're the Five Unparalleled or the Ten Illustrious. Anyway, I'll let you guys tie up loose ends here.”
Finnegan turned around to give the brightly lit house a look.
Bennett's figure flashed across his mind.
It seems I'll only get to test him the next time.
After watching Finnegan depart, Logan instructed, “Stephen, I'll leave this place to you. As for the Sanchez family, try your best to reassure them with a reasonable excuse. Tonight's incident must never get out.”
“Understood!”
After Logan left with Jace, Stephen brought over more than ten elites from the Wright family to clean up the scene.
It wasn't until they were done that he went to see Bennett and Nancy.
Due to the inclement weather and the distance, Nancy didn't manage to see what had transpired. She frantically asked, “Stephen, what happened? Is Finnegan all right?”
Ready with an excuse, Stephen replied, “Finnegan is quite the fighter. He beat those men off without suffering a scratch.” He took out a stack of cash from his pocket. “Also, this is compensation for the trauma we caused your family and the fruit trees we snapped outside.”
Nancy quickly declined, “Stephen, those trees only cost seven to eight hundred. What you're giving us is too much.”
“Don't worry about it. You can treat us to a free meal on our next visit.”
Once everything was cleared up, Stephen made sure the money was left behind before heading off.
Bennett, who had been silent throughout, said, “Nancy, clean up the kitchen, while I clear the dinnerware and leftovers.”
By the time Bennett arrived at the pavilion, everyone was already gone.
Other than broken tree stumps, there was no other residual trace of a battle. The blood that had flowed earlier had seeped into the ground along with the rain.
As Bennett recalled the figure from before, a piercing glint flashed across his eyes. “Disciples of Golden Hades? Terra Realm Grandmasters in Absolute Rank? Who in the world is Rhia's brother? Why does he give me a bad feeling?” Bennett looked toward the main door of the farmhouse. “Those men who came to clean up were elites of the Wright family. Is Stephen and the old man who came earlier...” Bennett's expression darkened. “I sure hope they didn't notice anything at all.”
Meanwhile, at the hotel Alisha was staying in, Finnegan had taken a shower and emerged from the bathroom after changing into a new set of clothes.
The Goldberg Five were Golden Hades' favorite disciples, after all.
Now that they're dead, how is the brutal Golden Hades going to react?
Smooch!
She actually stole a kiss from me?
Not only did she steal a kiss from me, but she also twisted my words to escalate the situation. She's so good at flirting with others!
