The Mischievous Doctor (Finnegan and Nuthana) novel Chapter 422

One by one, the elites of the Wahlstrom family, clad in black, advanced with their swords, intent on killing.

Spencer, who was supposed to have already returned to Bellridge with Theoden, was leading the charge.

The gust of wind swept across forcefully, sending several attackers flying before they could react, killing them on the spot.

Sapphire was completely dumbfounded. “How could this be? How could this be? Aren't they supposed to be gone?”

Finnegan nodded and said, “Vixen, what are you still looking at? Surround them!”

Inside the mansion, Alisha was taken aback. Only then did she realize that it was surprising for Spencer to bring someone along.

She then waved and commanded, “Fight your way out!”

Originally, the elite forces of the Wahlstrom and Langdon families had retreated into the mansion. However, they quickly charged out, coordinating with the suddenly appearing Wahlstrom family's elites to launch a pincer attack on this group of attackers.

And these attackers were indeed formidable.

After a brief loosening of the group's organization, it was swiftly reassembled, engaging in an intense battle with the elites of the Wahlstrom family.

With Spencer, a Terra Realm Grandmaster of Intermediate Rank leading the team in this territory, the strength of these attackers was of no avail. One by one, they fell.

Sapphire shook her head and slowly backed away, “This can't be. How could it be like this?”

It was completely different from what she had imagined before she went there.

Finnegan raised his hand and knocked out the masked leader he was holding hostage.

With a long sword hanging low, he looked at Sapphire with a playful expression. “Are you surprised? It seems like I knew you were coming all along, doesn't it?”

At this point, Alisha also came to his side. “So, you had my grandpa leave because you knew someone was planning an attack?”

Finnegan nodded and replied, “That's correct. I received the news yesterday. Sapphire sought out her old sweetheart from her youth to have me killed, and he even agreed to it.”

Thus, in order to address this issue in advance, he also took the opportunity to eliminate a potential risk.

Finnegan had allowed Theoden to lead his people away, creating the impression among everyone that there were hardly any people left in Dragon Bay.

Otherwise, with Theoden present there, Sapphire's old sweetheart might not have dared to attack Dragon Bay.

Alisha inquired, “Who's her old sweetheart? And how could someone capable of nurturing such an elite individual assist Sapphire over a trivial matter from the past?”

Sapphire's complexion paled, and her heart fluttered as she retreated.

Finnegan's smile grew more intriguing. “Normally, it wouldn't be the case. But what if Sapphire had been with him since she was fifteen until she married into the Zimmerman family? Sapphire even gave birth to Timothy, who is his only son, isn't he?”

Upon hearing that, Alisha instantly understood.

Upon hearing Finnegan recount the sequence of events, Sapphire was completely flustered. “I understand now. There's someone by his side who's connected to you.”

In the next moment, Sapphire turned and ran. She had to inform her old sweetheart there was a mole sent by Finnegan.

Moreover, the elites of the Wahlstrom family had already gained the upper hand, and there was no doubt that if she stayed, she would certainly meet her end.

Running was the only option.

But no sooner had she taken a few steps outside than he saw Theoden approaching her, accompanied by dozens of the Wahlstrom family's elites.

With a tremble in her legs, Sapphire's face turned deathly pale as she fell to the ground. “Old Mr. Wahlstrom!”

Alisha tugged at Finnegan. “What's the story with my grandpa and the others going back and forth?”

Finnegan tossed aside the long sword in his hand and responded, “Disguise!”

“An hour is sufficient. We can discuss the rest later.”

Upon hearing this, Theoden simply nodded, choosing not to say more.

Alisha walked over and lightly touched Theoden, asking, “Grandpa, what exactly is going on?”

Stealing a glance at Finnegan, Theoden replied in a hushed tone, “Yesterday, Dr. Larkin received a message that Sapphire was plotting to kill him. Therefore, Dr. Larkin deliberately had me lead people away, drawing out the danger and shattering all conspiracies swiftly because no one could have imagined that Dr. Larkin had a plan hidden up his sleeve at this time.”

Alisha furrowed her brows and asked, “So, do you know who that old sweetheart of Sapphire is?”

With a mysterious smile, Theoden said, “You'll find out soon enough.”

Alisha's red lips quivered. Grandpa's response is the same as Finnegan's! Could it be that all men are like this?

Five minutes later, with the demise of the final attacker on the spot, all of that night's attackers had been slain.

Theoden gestured for the Wahlstrom family's elites to quickly clean up the scene while he lowered his voice and asked, “Dr. Larkin, are we able to proceed now?”

His complexion and tone both conveyed a sense of urgency as if he was feeling somewhat impatient.

This further piqued Alisha's curiosity. Isn't the purpose of tonight merely to lure Sapphire into an ambush? Additionally, what did it mean when Finnegan thanked Sapphire for giving him a weapon and a reason to ensure that Jadeborough had no more hidden threats?

As she was deep in thought, Finnegan calmly said, “Old Mr. Wahlstrom, what symbolic significance does ten billion hold in this era?”

Theoden didn't know why Finnegan suddenly asked that question.

After some thought, Theoden replied, “I once read a statement. In this era, a hundred thousand could make one percent of people abandon their principles and bottom lines, while a million could drive ten percent of people to forsake their morals and go mad. And if one were to amass a fortune of a hundred million, it would tempt ninety percent of the world's population to risk the gallows. If you were to ask for ten billion now, I believe it would be enough to make ninety-nine percent of the world's population trample over all morals and rules of the world!”

Finnegan sighed lightly. “Indeed, money can drive people to madness and fear.”

In the next moment, Finnegan's right hand swung fiercely, and thousands of silver needles shot out.
