Chapter 13 Retribution
Five years ago, Finnegan left home and met his mentor in Bellridge. He was then brought to Xanfield.
His mentor only pa*sed the Primordial Pharmacopoeia down to him, taught him for a year, and then
poisoned him, demanding that he remove it all before returning home. Eventually, his mentor went on a
journey to explore the world.
Finnegan now knew that his mentor’s name was Sawyer Aiello, also known as the Eternal Medicine
God.
As for the rest, Finnegan was not sure and hadn’t investigated it. Before leaving, Sawyer said that
when Finnegan removed the poison and returned home, the former would come to the latter and reveal
the truth about some matters.
So in the past few years, Finnegan had been diligently practicing his cultivation, removing the poison
from his b*dy, and practicing medicine by treating patients who come to him for help.
Upon hearing Finnegan’s response, the Zimmerman family knew the man was reluctant to say much.
Hence, they did not probe further too.
As the banquet was about to end, the housekeeper came to report. “Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman, the son
and daughter of the Miles family has arrived.”
“Are you referring to Trey and Sasha Miles?” Patrick asked.
“Yes, Mr. Zimmerman.”
Upon confirming the identity of the visitors, Patrick couldn’t help but wonder about the reason for the
two young members of the Miles family’s appearance since he did not even. have much interaction with
their father before.
Despite his curiosity, Patrick still had his housekeeper invite the guests in, considering that they all
belonged to the same circle in Jadeborough.
Soon, the young man and woman entered the living room.
The male was tall, handsome, and exuded youthful confidence with every move. The female was also
strikingly beautiful; the black dress she had on accentuated her tall and slender figure. She was almost
as attractive as Bernice.
Bernice whispered in Finnegan’s car, “The man is Trey, and the woman is Sasha. They are the
14
children of Jadeborough’s wealthiest man, Gilbert Miles, and their family also lives in
Xendale.”
Finnegan murmured a casual “oh” and didn’t show much emotion.
His calmness caused Bernice to be surprised, as most people would be taken aback upon hearing
about the children of a wealthy family.
“Greetings, Mr. Zimmerman.” The siblings came forward politely to greet Patrick. As for the others, the
duo didn’t even glance at them. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Feeling their arrogance, Patrick held back his displeasure and asked, “What brings you to my home,
Mr. and Ms. Miles?”
Trey replied, “Mr. Zimmerman, we’ve come to the Zimmerman residence to look for
someone.”
“You are looking for someone?”
Sasha glanced at Bernice from the corner of her eye and took over the conversation for her brother.
“Mr. Zimmerman, we know that when your daughter was unconscious for over a month, many medical
experts were unable to help her. We would like to know who woke her up. My father is having some
health issues, and we would like to ask for help from this. medical expert.”
Finnegan narrowed his eyes and looked at Sasha for the first time.
He wasn’t surprised that the Miles siblings were looking for him. Finnegan reacted because he
recognized Sasha’s voice. She was the owner of the Maserati that almost hit him.
Even though he did not see her face, he could never forget her voice.
Upon learning that the Miles siblings were looking for Finnegan, the three members of the Zimmerman
family all turned to look at him.
The Miles siblings followed their gazes and saw Finnegan.
Sasha immediately recognized the man. “What are you doing here?” she asked, still infuriated that she
had almost gotten into a car accident because of him when she was rushing to see her father.
“Finnegan, do you know Ms. Miles?” Bernice asked in surprise.
The man smiled. “I don’t know her, but I almost got hit by Ms. Miles’ car when I came here. But now it
seems that I was the one who was in the wrong!
“I was in a hurry to go back and see my father, and I already compensated you for the
94
damages,” retorted Sasha with a look of annoyance.
The Zimmerman family’s expression turned solemn as they pondered whether to tell Sasha that the
person they were looking for was none other than Finnegan.
“Do you think that compensation can solve the matter, Ms. Miles?” Finnegan questioned.
“How can it not solve the matter?” she challenged.
After hearing the woman’s shameless response, Finnegan replied with a hint of playful mockery, “Oh, I
see. I’ve learned something new today.”
Suddenly, he picked up the ashtray on the coffee table and pretended to smash it at Sasha.
The woman was petrified; she immediately covered her head with her hands to protect herself.
Unfortunately, she sl*pped and landed on the ground.

“What the heck are you doing?” Trey bellowed as he rushed over to help his sister.
Finnegan, who had tried to scare her, put down the ashtray and casually threw the stack of cash from
his pocket onto the ground. “According to Ms. Miles’ logic, there’s no need to apologize for scaring
people as long as you pay some money. So I’m compensating for behavior. Mr. Miles, don’t get angry.
Otherwise, you’ll be a hypocrite!”
Trey was left speechless, and he reluctantly glanced at his sister.
Since Finnegan was just following Sasha’s logic, he had no reason to scold him.

Feeling the pain from the fall, Sasha shouted, “You jerk! How dare you trick me? Who do you think you
are? Are you even worthy to compare yourself to me?”
Finnegan sneered and sat down, not planning to respond to her.
Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, Patrick cleared his throat and interjected, “Ms. Miles,
you scared Finnegan while you were driving earlier. Now that he has scared you, you’re even. All of
you are young people; let’s not be so petty.”
Since they were still at the Zimmerman residence and needed the Zimmermans’ help, Trey quickly
stopped his sister from another outburst. She was clearly embarra*sed and angry beyond words.
Trey said stiffly, “Mr. Zimmerman, could you introduce us to the expert who woke Ms. Zimmerman? He
was able to save her when many experts could not. Hence, he might be able to cure my father’s old
ailment.”
Patrick smiled awkwardly. “Even if I introduce hun to you, I don’t think he would be willing to treat Mr.
Miles.”

He remembered how he was made to kneel and apologize to Finnegan because he had disrespected
him. It did not matter if he was Bernice’s father.
Given Sasha’s rude attitude toward Finnegan earlier, it was useless to tell Trey the truth. Based on
Finnegan’s style of doing things, the consequences would be dire.
After glaring at Finnegan, Sasha proudly declared, “Mr. Zimmerman, there are no experts in this world
who cannot be bought. If we can’t hire him, it just means the price is not high. enough. So all you need
to do is tell us!”
Patrick glanced at the siblings and sighed inwardly. “Well, I guess you can try. The one who revived
Bernie was Finnegan Larkin.”
What did he say?
The siblings looked at Finnegan in unison, their expressions changing slightly.
It may seem like Patrick was joking, but they also understood that there was no need for the man to
tease them.
Sasha scowled and sneered, “It was you?”
After taking a sip of his coffee, Finnegan responded, “Why couldn’t it be me?”
The woman grabbed her brother’s arm and said, “Let’s go, Trey. We can only blame our bad luck if it
really was him, but I don’t believe he is more capable than the other experts. He might even be less
capable than the people at the National Medical Center.”
Trey had the same reaction as his sister when he learned that the expert was Finnegan. However, he
was a little more restrained than her. He nodded to Patrick and said, “Mr. Zimmerman, we won’t disturb
you then.”
After watching the Miles siblings leave, Bernice smiled and said, “Finnegan, in the whole of
Jadeborough, I think only you dare to challenge Sasha.”
Finnegan replied calmly, “If you constantly mess with others, you’ll be faced with retribution one day!”
Patrick and his wife looked at the man and then at each other. After the incident just now, their
perception of him had changed slightly.
