A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 4 Killian Chomsky

“It’s time to sign the contract, you old fools!” Suddenly, the iron gate was kicked open with a loud bang. A young man with a python tattooed on his arm strode in with a group of menacing-looking thugs in tow. Hearing the commotion, Quiana quickly abandoned her task of making the bed for Finnegan and rushed out. Her expression was grim as she shouted, “Scram! We will never sign anything!” Finnegan frowned and got to his feet. “What’s going on?” Rhiannon huffed angrily, “Our area is going to get demolished soon, but the developer is evil enough to offer us only fifteen thousand per square meter as compensation for both the land and the house. Mom and Dad initially agreed because they didn’t want to cause trouble, but the thugs only offered our family four thousand per square meter!” Jadeborough was a bustling economic hub located in the nation of Loang. Potential buyers must be prepared to pay at least two hundred thousand for a home in the city center. Although the Larkin residence was situated on the outskirts of the city, the cost of the land in this area was still a hefty twenty thousand per square meter. The other families were offered fifteen thousand per square meter, and their family was merely offered four thousand. It was daylight robbery. Python licked his l*p and gazed at Rhiannon lustfully. “Gorgeous, if you’d be willing to come away with me for a few days, I could sneakily provide you with two thousand extra. Mr. Killian has left orders that your family can only receive four thousand.” Rhiannon fumed, “Scoundrel! Hurry up and…” She trailed off as the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.

The “Mr. Killian” referred to by Python was the very individual who had forced Finnegan to leave his home, thus resulting in the Larkin family becoming bankrupt. Tristan Properties, a branch of Tristan Group, which was owned by the Chomsky family, was responsible for the development of the area. That was why their family was offered four thousand in comparison to the fifteen thousand offered to the other families. Python shook his head and thought it was a figment of his imagination. He snapped, “Stop wasting my time. You must sign this today!” “Are you referring to Killian Chomsky when you mentioned Mr. Killian? Is their family in charge of developing this area?” Finnegan asked, a menacing glint in his eyes. Knowing her son’s hatred for Killian, Quiana quickly said, “Finny, don’t get involved. I think it would be wise for us to just accept their offer. With the proceeds, we can easily pay for the security deposit on a smaller house. When you and Rhia both become successful and earn more money, we can look into moving to a larger residence.” If the situation were to blow up and Killian was made aware of Finnegan’s return, he would not hesitate to take action, as his earlier attempts to track down Finnegan had been unsuccessful. Desmond and Quiana had lost Finnegan for five years. They didn’t want to see him leave anymore. Finnegan had gotten the answer he wanted from Quiana’s reaction. An icy
