Chapter 181 I Will Rise To Power
At night, at the secluded small courtyard of the Wahlstrom residence, Finnegan stepped out of the room, having just finished treating Rhiannon.
"Is your sister okay?"
Alisha walked over, holding a bowl of food in her hands.
Finnegan took it and walked over to sit down on the side.
After taking a bite, he replied, "It's just superficial injuries. No bones were hurt. A few days of rest and she'll be fine. I'm sorry for the inconvenience during this time, but please try to comfort her." "All right!"
After finishing his meal, Finnegan, with a full stomach, dialed Lindsey's number.
The call connected to reveal Lindsey's voice which was tinged with a hint of resentment. "Oh, so you still remember to call me? I thought you'd forgotten all about me after you started dating Bernice." Desmond and Quiana had told Rhiannon, who had then told Lindsey.
However, at this moment. Finnegan had no interest in discussing these matters. "Ms. Lindsey, Rhia had a minor accident today and got hurt. I told my parents that she went on a business trip with Ms. Haimowitz. If my mom calls you, don't let it sl*p.
"Is Rhia seriously injured?
Finnegan replied, "It's a minor issue. A few days of rest will sort it out."
Lindsey didn't doubt him. "Where is she? I'll come over and take a look."
Finnegan had wanted to refuse, but he thought that Rhiannon would be emotionally unstable when she woke up. and it would be better if Lindsey comforted her instead.
He immediately gave Lindsey the address.
After ending the call, Finnegan asked, "How did things go?"
Alisha looked at Finnegan with mixed feelings and replied, "The people from Regulus Pavilion contacted the heads of our families. They said that today, our families joined forces to deal with Solomon, so the situation didn't escalate. As for the Zymons family, there hasn't been any movement so far."
Finnegan keenly noticed the oddity in Alisha's behavior. "You're wondering why Regulus Pavilion asked you to take the blame for me?"
"I know you won't speak about it.
Nodding, Finnegan stood up and walked toward the courtyard gate. "That's right. I won't speak about it."
Finnegan pushed open the iron gate. "Come in!"

Standing boldly outside the door was Duncan.
Alisha's beautiful eyes narrowed. She instantly became alert.
The elites of the Wahlstrom family also emerged from the shadows.
Of course, they recognized Duncan as someone from Solomon's side.
With a poker face, Duncan followed Finnegan into the courtyard. "I'm here to fulfill my promise. You can kill me or flay me as you wish!"
Finnegan sat down, giving him a casual glance. "Seth saved you?"
Duncan nodded, but he didn't speak of how Seth had saved him years ago.
Finnegan didn't intend to pry any further. "You traded your own life for Solomon's. You have no more ties with the Zymons family, right?"
"Yes!"
Narrowing his eyes, Finnegan asked again, "So, are you saying your life is definitely mine now?"
Duncan replied indifferently. "My life or death is all up to you!"
"All right!" Finnegan stood up, walked over to him, and patted his shoulder. "Then you better live well for me. You can die when I decide it's time for you to. After speaking, Finnegan walked past him. "Vixen, take me to the Wright residence."
Alisha's expression subtly shifted. "He's staying here?"
"Don't worry. He's a person with principles. He won't mess around"
Alisha still felt uneasy. Before leaving, she discreetly instructed the elites of the Wahlstrom family. "If there's any unusual behavior from Duncan, attack him as a group."
Duncan remained utterly unfazed. He walked over to a tree, leaned against it, and sat down. He was as
as a statue.
After ensuring no one was lurking in the shadows an hour later, Alisha finally drove to the Wright residence.
As soon as they arrived, she noticed a familiar car.
Alisha was taken aback. "My grandpa is here?"
That car was indeed owned by Theoden, but it was rarely driven out. Only the Wahlstrom family knew about it.
Finnegan looked at the car and asked, "You told your father about my master?"
Alisha nodded.
"Then he's probably here to see my master. You should wait in the car."

Finnegan left and arrived at Nathan's small courtyard.
In the courtyard tonight, in addition to Nathan and Stephen, there were also Zachary and Romona, as as Theoden and Bradley.
The Wahlstroms were kneeling before Sawyer.
Theoden had a respectful look on his face.
Seeing Finnegan enter, Sawyer waved his hand with a smile. "All right, you father and son can get up now, When I extended a helping hand to the Wahlstrom family, it was simply because I felt a connection. Just treat Finnegan with the same respect you give me, and there's no need to be so formal."
Theoden and Bradley dared not disobey him. They stood up and greeted Finnegan, "Dr. Larkin!"
With a grunt of acknowledgment, Finnegan walked over and sat down, casually resting one leg on the nearby stone bench. "You're leaving?"
Finnegan hadn't planned to come over that night.
However, Sawyer had said that he would be leaving first thing in the morning, so Finnegan could only
Come over.
Sawyer chuckled. "You all should leave first. As for you, Theo, there's no need to worry about who's eyeing the Wahlstrom family. The Wright family won't let the Wahlstrom family fall."
"Understood!"
With a respectful nod, Theoden, accompanied by Bradley, left the small courtyard with Zachary and the others.
When no one else was around. Sawyer's smile vanished from his face. "You little rascal, you've really overstepped your bounds today. If it weren't for Nate and the others handling things behind the scenes, you'd be famous nationwide by now!"
Finnegan frowned. "But he touched my sister!"
Sawyer looked deeply into Finnegan's eyes. "I'm not saying you can't take action. But before you do, I hope you consider your own exit strategy. You can't always expect others to clean up your mess. If you can stir up trouble, it means you've got skills. But being able to clean up your own mess is where the real confidence and strength lie!"
Finnegan's eyes narrowed slightly. He was deep in thought.
Seeing that Finnegan had roughly understood, Sawyer said meaningfully, "Reasoning with enemies is useless. Only absolute cruelty and dominance can make them behave. But sometimes, being blindly cruel and domineering without considering the consequences can be very dangerous! The enemy will learn from experience. The same tactics may not work for you next time." Finnegan nodded. "I understand!"
"I believe you understand too." Sawyer said with a smile, patting his shoulder. "By the way, what path do you want
to take in the future?"

What path do I want to take in the future?
Finnegan looked up at the night sky. "I want to be a doctor, to honor my parents while they're still alive, and to have a family."
Sawyer nodded and said, "Dreams are indeed wonderful. But what if things don't go as planned? What if you don't get what you want, or even worse, your family gets involved?"
A glint sparked in Finnegan's eyes. "If this path is filled with obstacles, then I will remove all these obstacles."
"What if these obstacles come one after another?"
An astonishing killing intent erupted from Finnegan.
The temperature in the courtyard suddenly dropped. "Then I will remove the obstacles completely, not leaving a trace behind. If this still doesn't work, then I will rise to power, reach the zenith, and establish a presence so formidable that it deters anyone from harboring malicious intentions!"
Sawyer I
laughed heartily. "It seems I don't need to say much. You have a clear goal for your life ahead. Join me for a drink. Who knows when we'll meet again after this farewell!"
