Chapter 254 Oswald Is Coming
That night, the Wright residence remained as tranquil as ever.
Under an old banyan tree, Nathan was leisurely practicing Toemberu after dinner.
With a rhythm of haste and slowness, he truly grasped the essence of Toemberu.
Standing to one side was Stephen, looking somewhat anxious.
Seeing that the old man was still practicing Toemberu, he had no choice but to patiently wait.
Only when Nathan finished his routine did Stephen step forward. "Grandpa, Oswald has come out of seclusion. Moreover, he has openly declared in the name of Martial Arts Alliance that Finnegan is an enemy of Martial Arts Alliance. Anyone who befriends Finnegan is also considered an enemy of Martial Arts Alliance."
Nathan took the towel handed over by the housekeeper and wiped his sweat. Remaining calm, he said, "It seems he has become a Terra Realm fighter of Absolute Rank. But his words are a bit too arrogant!" Despite knowing that Finnegan had a good relationship with the Wahlstrom family and other families, Oswald's words clearly showed that he didn't take those families seriously.
Stephen said, "With tens of thousands of disciples under his control in Nuthana's Martial Arts Alliance, he indeed has the right to disregard other families. Moreover, his statement is not about wanting to make enemies with all families, but more about intimidating them into choosing sides between him and Finnegan!"
"He's getting on in years, yet he still acts so ostentatiously." Shaking his head slightly, Nathan handed the towel to the housekeeper. "It's a pity he doesn't realize that Finnegan is revered like a god in everyone's heart. His intimidation probably won't work."
With that, he seemed to lose interest in discussing the matter further. "Is there anything else?"
"Reginald and his son have already returned from Durbaine and are currently on their way to visit Oswald!"
Upon hearing that, Nathan furrowed his brows.
After that, he let out a strange laugh. "Reginald is still as cautious as ever. He must know that Finnegan ist close to the Wahlstrom family and worries that the Wahlstrom family will interfere. So, he's thinking of asking Oswald, who the Wahlstrom family can't control, to help the Sable family deal with Finnegan! But it's no big deal. Let them be."
Stephen's mouth fell open. "Are we still not going to interfere?"
He thought that at that stage, Nathan would step in.
Calmly, Nathan walked toward his residence with his hands clasped behind his back. "Old Mr. Samson and Old Mr. Quickwood have high hopes for Finnegan," he said. "They see this as an opportunity to hone his skills, but also an opportunity that could potentially entangle him deeper. Otherwise, this young man only wants a peaceful life. That won't do."

A thought flashed through Stephen's mind, surprise flickering in his eyes.
But soon, tranquility was restored, and he reminded himself to act as if he knew nothing.
Meanwhile, at Tyrone Mansion, Tyrone sat by the artificial pond, fishing rod in hand, while listening to Leonardo report the latest news.
Compared to before, Tyrone didn't show much emotion this time. He asked, "Do you think this uncertainty with Finnegan will be resolved this time?"
Leonardo responded, "If Liam has disappeared, there's a ninety percent chance Finnegan is responsible. The Sable family won't let him off the hook. Furthermore, Master Farrington is bound to personally come to Jadeborough. The odds of Finnegan surviving in his hands are practically zero!"
Tyrone let out a cold laugh. "That's what I thought too when Finnegan offended Solomon."
In the end, not only was Solomon defeated by Finnegan, but he also died directly.
And yet, Finnegan was still alive.
Leonardo's eyes flickered. "Mr. Calandrino, are you suggesting that Finnegan can still stand up to Master Farrington?"
Tyrone gently shook his head, a certain indescribable look in his eyes. "I can't be sure now," he said. "All I know is that my initial guess was definitely wrong. Finnegan is not the pawn that the Wahlstrom family used to stir up Jadeborough."
As Tyrone spoke those words, he was filled with a sense of helplessness.
The reason he had secretly manipulated Finnegan into offending others several times was because he wanted to use others to eliminate the threat that Finnegan posed.
That was to prevent Finnegan from being the pawn of the Wahlstrom family, stirring up trouble in Jadeborough.
Looking back, he began to waver in his initial assumptions about Finnegan. Finnegan was not a pawn of the Wahlstrom family, but he was more likely in an equal relationship with them. Leonardo asked, "Mr. Calandrino, should we continue to scheme against Finnegan in secret and eliminate him?"
"Of course!" Tyrone concealed the complexity in his eyes, responding sinisterly, "Because even if he is not a pawn of the Wahlstrom family, he is still a threat. We cannot have a threat lurk in our territory. But for now, let's not do anything. Let's see if Master Farrington can kill him. If he manages to kill him, everyone will be overjoyed. If he can't, then let's not fixate on it anymore. We'll wait until the Wahlstrom and Zymons families determine a winner before we make our next move!"
"Understood."
The night passed quietly.
At the break of dawn, Alisha knocked on Finnegan's door a few times, then without waiting for Finnegan's response, she directly pushed open the unlocked door and walked in, casually turning on the light in the
room.

"What the hell are you doing? It's not even six o'clock yet!" Roused by the noise, Finnegan shielded his eyes as he got up, avoiding the glaring light.
Alisha huffed. "You're still in the mood to sleep? Oswald is on his way from Capston to Jadeborough. He will arrive in two to three hours, and he's bringing along a thousand disciples from Martial Arts Alliance! It's clear as day that they're not just looking for trouble with you but also intimidating others into steering clear!"
P
Adjusting to the brightness, Finnegan lowered his hand. "As I said yesterday, compared to Oswald, I..."
As Finnegan spoke, his eyes widened, his cheeks started to feel hot, and his stomach was even more burning.
After a long pause, he finally averted his eyes. "Can't you put on some clothes before coming over?"
At that moment, Alisha was actually wearing a thin nightgown.
She was wearing nothing but a single nightgown.
Alisha, however, didn't mind at all. Instead, she walked over and sat down by the bed. "After all, I'm bound. to be yours sooner or later. There's no harm in you seeing. And now is not the time to discuss this issue. Oswald is coming!"
"Bring it on then." Avoiding the sight of the woman who could make one's nose bleed at that moment, Finnegan responded with a sneer, "I'll repeat what I said last night. The Sable family holds more weight in my eyes than Oswald. I don't take him seriously at all."
He paused for a moment, then turned back.
Being able to look at Alisha up close was making his blood race, so he quickly averted his gaze. "By the way," he said. "Reginald and his son went to see Oswald yesterday. They must have had a good result, right?"
Seeing Finnegan a bit embarrassed, Alisha swept over with a hint of amusement. "I don't know whether the discussion was good or not. All I know is that Mike and Reginald spent the night at the Farrington residence yesterday. But you... Aren't you worried?"
Finnegan confidently declared, "Even if there were ten Oswald, I wouldn't bat an eye!"
She then looked at Finnegan seriously.
When Alisha confirmed that he was truly not flustered, she stopped worrying as well.
There was a hint of mischief in her eyes when she asked, "Are you afraid to look at me?"
Finnegan answered honestly, "Even though I'm not interested in you, I can't deny that your body is enticing. So, to avoid being tempted by you... Hey, what are you doing? Give me back my blanket!" Alisha swiftly yanked off his blanket with a speed that left no room for reaction, leaving Finnegan, who enjoyed sleeping naked, utterly dumbfounded.
After Alisha pulled off his quilt, she was even more stunned. "Gosh! I've imagined you naked, but it seems I've still underestimated your package! I won't bleed to death in the future, will I?"

With a swift motion, Finnegan snatched back his blanket, his face flushed with irritation. "Get lost, female hooligan!" he exclaimed.
Alisha giggled and said, "Yes, I'm a hooligan. Finny, when will you let me have a taste of you?"
Finnegan knew he couldn't out-talk Alisha in that regaril.

Therefore, he quickly picked up his clothes and headed for the bathroom, exclaiming. "What a disaster!"
