The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 420

In the evening, while Finnegan and Alisha were having a barbecue in the garden, an elite of the Wahlstrom family approached and reported, “Mr. Larkin, a group of people came, claiming to be of the Gallagher family in Glenport.”

Finnegan glanced in the direction of the garden before quickly withdrawing his gaze. “Who is the person in the lead?”

“He didn't give me his name. It is a middle-aged man and a very beautiful woman.”

At the side, Alisha interjected, “Then, it must be Maxim and Abigial, who has a great sense of superiority.”

As Finnegan grilled oysters, he asked, “What kind of person is Maxim?”

“I haven't interacted much with him, so I don't know him well,” Alisha replied. “All I know is that he is Devin's fourth son, currently managing several of the Gallagher family's businesses, and one of the strong contenders for the position of the fourth generation head of the Gallagher family.”

A thought struck Finnegan, prompting him to ask with a smile, “I heard the Gallagher family has many descendants?”

Alisha nodded.

“The Gallagher family has a heritage spanning six generations and over a hundred years. In the second generation, there were eight brothers. By the third generation, the family expanded to fifty to sixty cousins, with nearly a hundred branch lineages. The main one is that of Devin! But when he passes away, the Gallagher family is anticipated to expand further. After all, he has seventeen children. Even after excluding those who died young, he still has six sons.”

“No wonder only Five Great Families can truly be called prestigious families in Loang when there's such a kind of almost separatist inheritance!” Finnegan lamented.

Alisha agreed, saying, “Five Great Families adopted the imperial inheritance system, which naturally allows them to persist longer.”

Then, she asked, “But what are you planning to do now? Are you going to meet them?”

Finnegan shook his head. “No. Ask them to leave.”

He paused before adding, “However, tell them this—if they want me to treat Devin, the primary condition is that Devin must come with his two grandchildren and kneel to me, apologizing for his actions and words!”

The elite of the Wahlstrom family looked at Alisha.

Upon seeing that Alisha had no objection, he then left and went out to the garden's gates.

He conveyed Finnegan's words precisely to Maxim and Abigial.

A hint of frostiness crossed Abigial's face. “Dad, this Finnegan fellow is just too arrogant!”

It was one thing to have her and Emory beg him on their knees, but to even dare have Devin do the same was beyond belief.

Maxim was equally irritated inwardly, but not a hint of it showed on his face. “Let's go.”

After getting into the car, Abigial asked, “Dad, what should we do now? If Grandpa doesn't recover, we won't be able to deal with our uncles. It will be difficult to secure most of Grandpa's assets, let alone take control of the Gallagher family. But the most crucial thing is Regenerating Ointment!”

Many top companies had evaluated the future prospects of Regenerating Ointment then, and it was undoubtedly a cash cow worth over a trillion.

In fact, it was pure profit.

Maxim massaged his temples before saying, “Your grandfather is already ninety-eight years old. Even if he recovers this time, how much longer can he live? He's just making things difficult for us now!”

If anyone underperformed at such a time, the person would certainly receive a smaller share of the family's assets.

There was even a chance of being kicked out of the game.

With her brows furrowed, Abigial countered, “But we still have no choice but to do as he wishes. At the very least, we need to figure a way to secure the exclusive rights to Regenerating Ointment!”

As long as they secured the exclusive distribution rights for Regenerating Ointment, even if Devin denied them the inheritance of the Gallagher family, their lineage would still stand tall and proud.

Maxim's gaze darkened a shade. “Go back and tell your grandfather that I'll try to contact some people and see if I can get the miracle doctor, Darius Hicks, to treat him. If there really is no other way, perhaps you might have to make a bit of a sacrifice in the end.”

“A sacrifice? What kind of sacrifice?” Abigial asked.

Patting Abigial on the shoulder, Maxim said, “I have a plan that could enable us to take control of the Gallagher family completely, but it's not the right time to discuss it yet. Just be prepared!”

Abigial nodded solemnly. “Got it. As long as it enables you to take control of the Gallagher family, I'm willing to make any sacrifice!”

As the night deepened, the autumn mist, carried by the sea breeze, began to envelop the entire Dragon Bay.

“Finnegan, how could you say such a thing right before me? Did you ever consider my feelings?” Alisha said resentfully.

He was telling her clearly that he would not accept her no matter how much she did, even if she didn't care about having a status.

Finnegan flipped the skewers on the grill and looked at Alisha, who seemed on the verge of tears. He said, “I'm telling you this early so you can understand sooner. Furthermore, since I've already told you, I won't make any apologies if you stubbornly continue to do foolish things in the future.”

Pausing for a moment, he raised an eyebrow playfully. “Moreover, if my master weren't Eternal Medicine God, and if I weren't Mischievous Doctor, would you have taken a liking to me?”

“I...”

Alisha wanted to answer in the affirmation.

However, when the words reached the tip of her tongue, they transformed into a bitter laugh. “No.”

If Finnegan hadn't possessed such skills and background, they would have never met in their entire lives, not to mention her taking a liking to him.

Chuckled lightly, Finnegan clarified, “Of course, I didn't mean anything by asking that. I understand your grandfather's perspective. But what if it were Bernice instead?”

Upon hearing that, Alisha nodded. “I know where I lost to her now.”

She was attracted to Finnegan because of his status, capabilities, and background.

Conversely, Bernice chose Finnegan purely out of emotions.

Finnegan handed her a skewer of beef. “So, don't feel resentful or persist. Although Bernie's overall condition is not as good as the lot of you, her love for me is pure!”

That was to say, it was without any hint of ulterior motives.

Alisha pursed her lips. “Whether I persist or otherwise is my business. I never thought about breaking the two of you up—”

Suddenly, Finnegan zipped over. Scooping Alisha up in his arms, he rolled them on the ground.
