Chapter 264 Favor
After checking on Desmond and Quiana at the hospital to ensure they were in good health, Finnegan
returned to Dragon Bay.
He did not let Alisha follow along.
Having instructed the servants not to disturb him, he made his way to the coconut grove in the back
garden.
“Come out!”

A moment later, the man in the black robe reappeared, kneeling on one knee before Finnegan.
“Greetings, Mr. Larkin!”
Finnegan waved his hand. “Get up. Stop kneeling all the time. It makes me feel like some old monster.”
He then took out the South-North Badge.
As he handed it over to the man in the black robe who had already stood up, he said, “The South-North
Badge won’t be needed anymore. Take it back.”
But the man in the black robe did not respond.
Finnegan asked, “You don’t want it anymore?”
The man in the black robe respectfully replied, “Mr. Larkin, my master mentioned that since you’ve left
the mountain, you will encounter conflicts with the Martial Arts Alliance. To prevent similar incidents
from happening again, please accept the South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance!”
“I should keep it?” Finnegan revealed an intrigued expression. “Why do I get the feeling that your
master has some ulterior motive? Is this thing really worth keeping?”
The South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance represented the personal arrival of the chairman.
Others might think it was quite good, but Finnegan knew the kind of trouble holding onto it could bring.
The man in the black robe replied, “I’m merely conveying my master’s words. If you have any doubts,
you can ask my master directly!”
Finnegan sighed, knowing that he would not be able to return the South-North Badge.
He kept it back in his pocket and said, “I’ll keep it safe for now. There’s another reason I called you
here. I want the lives of Oswald’s family. Is that possible?”
The man in the black robe shuddered. “Mr. Larkin, you’ve crippled his family. They seem to pose no
threat to you anymore.”
“No threat?” Finnegan scoffed. “You probably don’t understand the saying that even waste has value,
do – you?”
The Farringtons might have been overthrown, but that didn’t mean they, who had controlled the
Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance for many years, had no cards left to play.
The only way Finnegan felt it was no threat was if they died.

However, given Oswald’s status and the fact that it was broad daylight with many people around, he
couldn’t bring himself to deliver a fatal blow,
The man in the black robe pondered for a moment before saying, “Mr. Larkin, please allow me to ask
for guidance!”
“All right. You have three minutes.”
Nodding, the man in the black robe stepped aside to make a phone call. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
He returned in less than three minutes. “Mr. Larkin, the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters will soon
send over the evidence of the Farrington family’s disregard for human life over the years. My master
said it’s best for me to handle this. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result!”
Finnegan said, “Your master doesn’t want me to get involved, but it’s no problem at all! Afterward, you
take the blame in the name of the Martial Arts Alliance.”
“O-Okay, then!”
Meanwhile, the Sable family’s garden was brilliantly lit.
“Master Farrington, Mr. Wilson, you’ve finally awakened.”
Oswald and Wilson, who were knocked unconscious by Finnegan, finally woke up. Reginald and Mike
quickly stepped forward to check on them.
Oswald sat up and trembled. “Finnegan… Finnegan!”
His cultivation was truly gone.
Wilson said fiercely, “Dad, let’s mobilize our loyal followers in the Martial Arts Alliance and fight against
Finnegan!”
Oswald shook his head. “Finnegan has the backing of various families. Even mobilizing the most loyal
follower won’t harm him. I need to go to Durbaine. I need to go to the headquarters. I need to figure out
what’s going on. Why is the chairman’s South-North Badge of the Martial Arts Alliance in Finnegan’s
possession? I need to get in touch with the Elder Council again to thoroughly deal with this scoundrel!”
Reginald hesitated before speaking. “Master Farrington, I’m afraid there might not be anyone in
Durbaine who would meet with you.”
Oswald’s eyes were slightly cold. “What do you mean?”
With a light sigh, Reginald gave Mike a look.
The latter said, “Master Farrington, Finnegan isn’t exaggerating. You really have been expelled from
the Martial Arts Alliance.”
He then recounted everything that had happened while Oswald and Wilson were unconscious.
This included the incident where the Farrington family members were expelled from the Martial Arts
Alliance.
Reginald’s face stiffened as he clenched his fists tightly
All of this happened so quickly!
Wilson exploded in rage, “D’mn it! Finnegan really did destroy the Farrington family. I’m going to kill
him!”
Mike comforted, “Mr. Wilson, let’s wait and see what Master Farrington has to say. We really can’t
afford to provoke Finnegan right now. We have put aside the gridge of my son and the crisis of Regi
Group for How.”
Reginald tentatively asked, “Master Farrington, do you have any solutions left?”
As Reginald returned with Oswald and Wilson during the day, he contemplated that Oswald, being
superior to the average person, might still possess the means to defeat Finnegan. This could indirectly
aid the Sable family in overcoming their crisis.
If even Oswald couldn’t handle this, he would have no choice but to play his biggest trump card.
Oswald sneered, “The Farrington family may be finished, and my cultivation may indeed be destroyed,
but that doesn’t mean I’m out of cards to play. Make the arrangements and take me to Durbaine!”
Upon hearing this, Reginald was secretly delighted. He immediately called out to Mike, “Come with me.
We need to arrange a private jet to send Master Farrington to Durbaine.”
After they had left, Wilson asked in confusion, “Father, the Martial Arts Alliance has already issued a
declaration. What’s the point of us going to Durbaine?”
Oswald shakily rose to his feet. “On the surface, it seems we are powerless to turn the tide, but that
doesn’t mean we can’t do anything behind the scenes. You’ll understand once we reach Durbaine!”
Before long, Reginald and Mike had everything arranged.
Hailey personally escorted Oswald and Wilson to the airport.
Watching the departing limousine, Mike asked in confusion, “Dad, the Farrington family has completely
fallen. Oswald Group has been taken back under the control of the Martial Arts Alliance, and the
Farringtons have been crippled. What cards could he possibly have left?”
Reginald patted Mike on the shoulder. “Master Farrington has been in the Martial Arts Alliance for over
fifty years, managing the Nuthana Martial Arts Alliance and holding the procurement and distribution
rights for the materials of the eight southern regions of the Martial Arts Alliance. Master Farrington can
be said to be one of the wealthiest branch presidents in the Martial Arts Alliance! Yet, after all these
years, why hasn’t there been a single person casting envious glances or even challenging Master
Farrington’s position?”
Mike’s eyes lit up. “Some people have been well-fed by Master Farrington? Even having their
weaknesses in Master Farrington’s hands?”
Reginald nodded. “Even after suffering a loss, a rich person is still better off than ordinary people.
Always remember that. Let’s not discuss this issue any further. How is the current situation of Regi
Group?”
At the mention of the current state of the group, Mike wore a grim expression. “The scandal of free
medical treatment and the trap set by Liam has already complicated the group’s operation. However,
we
can still persevere, even though we may have lost up to twenty percent of our market value. But the
Langdon family is undermining us in secret, and all departments are demanding that we resolve the
situation before the day after tomorrow. Our corporate operations are on the verge of collapse!”
Reginald’s face looked grim. “If we cease the provision of free medical treatment, we risk being
engulfed in a storm of public criticism. It’s crucial to devise a strategy to buy us some time. Regardless
of the circumstances, we must endure for a few more days until Master Farrington formulates a plan to
counter Finnegan.”
As long as Finnegan dies, those who are secretly causing trouble will certainly calm down and we can
at least still provide free medical treatment for a month.
By then, Regi Group will be even able to turn the tide and achieve stability by offering free medical
consultations.
Mike expressed his concern. “Dad, what if Master Farrington still can’t deal with Finnegan?”
Reginald replied, “Then I have no choice but to use that favor!”
