In the Sable family’s private car, Wilson looked at the drooling, foolish Seamus and said resentfully, “Father, are we giving up on
our original plan?”
According to the original plan, the idea was to first have Finnegan cure him and Scamus before they got
rid of him.
They had to uphold the dignity of the Farrington family.
But now, what Oswald was thinking about was to kill Finnegan.
Oswald responded in a deep voice, “It’s already quite an achievement to think of a way to eliminate Finnegan. The idea of
manipulating him to treat us is simply out of the question, so stop fretting about it. Once we deal with Finnegan, we’ll head
overseas. You can find another woman and have a child!”
“But what about Seamie?”
Glancing sideways at his once most cherished grandson, Oswald said sternly, “After going to Durbaine find a way to take him to
see Darius Hicks. It will be great if he can be cured. If not, let’s give him a qui end!”
At this point, Oswald’s tone turned cold. “Don’t think too much. If it weren’t for this scoundrel, would the Farrington family have
ended up like this?”
Wilson opened his mouth, wanting to say a few words in defense of Seamus.
However, reflecting on the causes and consequences that led to the downfall of the Farrington family, Wilson could only respond
with a bitter smile and silence.
Indeed, the Farrington family was dragged down by Seamus.
Without saying another word, he turned his head to look out the window.
Sensing that something was off, he asked, “Is this the way to Jadeborough Airport?”
Hailey, who was assigned to drive them, felt a jolt in her heart but managed to keep her composure. She replied, “There’s been
an accident on the airport expressway and it’s temporarily closed. I’ll take a different. route to get you there. It will probably add
an extra twenty minutes or so to our journey.”
Upon hearing this, Wilson didn’t overthink it.
Oswald had no doubts at all. He closed his eyes to take a rest.
But after a while, Wilson started to feel that something was increasingly amiss.
Upon spotting a road sign, Wilson snapped, “I know this road. It’s in the exact opposite direction of Jadeborough Airport. Do you
even know where you’re going?”
Oswald opened his eyes. “What’s going on?”
Even though Oswald’s cultivation and elixir field had been destroyed, the aura of his long-standing authority still remained.

Hailey instantly broke out in a cold sweat, her anxiety peaking. With a determined grit of her teeth, she abruptly turned the
steering wheel, pulling over to the side.
As Oswald and Wilson steadied themselves, she quickly opened the car door and jumped out. “I brought you here to meet your
doom!”
Oswald’s and Wilson’s faces changed instantly.
Wilson quickly pushed the car door open and jumped out. “Is the Sable family planning to harm us? Are they thinking of using us
to curry favor with Finnegan and overcome their difficulties?”
You have quite the imagination, but it’s a shame you’ve wrongfully accused the Sable family.”
At that moment, Finnegan emerged from the shadows by the roadside, with Doom Star and Duncan trailing behind him.
Hailey walked up to him, grecting respectfully, “Mr. Larkin!”
Patting Hailey on the shoulder, Finnegan said, “Well done.”
“So you’re with Finnegan.” Wilson’s pupils contracted.
Hailey proudly replied, “That’s right. I’m with Mr. Larkin!”
“Finnegan, you brat!” Oswald stepped out of the car, his face gloomy and unpleasant. “You sure are capable. It seems the
Sables have always been clowns in your eyes. But what are you planning to do now? Are you really going to eradicate them
completely?”
He paused before adding, “If you really have such thoughts, I advise you to give them up as soon as possible. Even at my
lowest, I am still formidable!”
Although he said that, one could tell that he lacked confidence.
Of course, Finnegan could see through his bravado. “Oswald, even at your peak, I could crush you like an ant. Now that you’re
down and out, there’s really no need to put on a brave face in front of me. It only makes me find you laughable!”
I can suppress you at your strongest, so you pose even less of a threat to me at your weakest.
Oswald’s body jolted, as Finnegan had hit a sore spot.
But the pride of once being a Terra Realm Grandmaster still made him maintain his dignity. “So, what do you want to do? We
don’t seem to pose a threat to you now, do we?”
With a light flick of his fingers, Finnegan said: “Even waste has value, let alone someone like you who once controlled the
Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance. So, only when you’re dead will there be no threat to me. Doom Star, Duncan, send them on their
way!”
Doom Star and Duncan stepped forward.
One person held a saber, another wielded a sword, and they charged forward.
Wilson said in panic, “Finnegan, don’t act recklessly. Although the Farrington family has fallen, we still have hundreds of
members. We also have a group of loyal followers in the Martial Arts Alliance. If you kill

us, they will definitely seek revenge on you!”
Finnegan’s intent to kill was set. Why would he care?

With a scornful laugh, he said, “How foolish of you to think you can still threaten me!”
“Wait!” Seeing that Doom Star and Duncan were almost upon him, Oswald suddenly shouted out, “Finnegan, give me a
condition, a condition that can let me and my descendants survive!”
He didn’t want to die like this.
He still had many assets. Even without his cultivation, he could still enjoy life.
Most importantly, only by staying alive could there be a chance to take revenge on Finnegan.
Once he was dead, there would be nothing left.
Finnegan narrowed his eyes slightly, intrigued. “So, what do you plan to use to save your life from my hands?”
Seeing Finnegan showing some interest, Doom Star and Duncan stopped,
In order to survive, Oswald had to cast aside his dignity at this moment. “One billion in cash plus all my
assets in Jadeborough, totaling four and a half billion!”
Upon hearing this, Finnegan remained unmoved. “Just four and a half billion? That’s too little!”
Doom Star raised his saber.
Cursing under his breath, Oswald pleaded urgently, “Just let us go tonight, and I’ll give you three billion in cash plus all my assets
in Nuthana. That’s a total of thirteen billion!”
“No wonder people often say that the branch president of the Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance is the richest,” Finnegan said with a
meaningful smile. “However, I’m not particularly interested in money. Show me your best offer. Or else, you’re dead!”
Finnegan was not satisfied.
For the first time, Oswald felt that Finnegan was like a ravenous wolf who devoured its prey without leaving a trace.
But now, in this vulnerable state, Oswald had no choice but to swallow his pride and say, “I still have over ten billion in foreign
banks. All the relevant proofs are stored in the safe of Goldcorp Bank. If you let us go, I will give you all my assets!”
Yet, Finnegan remained unmoved. “The key to the safe is definitely on you. Even if you’re dead, I can still take it. So... this is still
not enough!”
Oswald felt a lump in his throat, realizing that Finnegan was even more greedy than he had imagined.
Finnegan didn’t care how aggrieved he felt. “Excuse me, then!”
With a light flick of his finger, he ordered, “Kill!”

Oswald was completely flustered. All his dignity was gone. He shouted, “Finnegan, as long as you promise not to kill me, I’ll tell
you a secret, a secret that can control many people in the Martial Arts Alliance!”
A glint flashed across Finnegan’s eyes.
The reason he had held back from killing just now was because he was considering whether he could extract some information
from Oswald, rather than letting it be buried with him when he died.
At this moment, everything was as he wished.
Yet he appeared quite composed, his demeanor devoid of any visible joy. “As long as your secret intrigues me, I can assure you I
won’t kill you!”
