A Healer’s Journey

Chapter 40 Are You Still Courting Me

“Caesar!”

Oscar’s eyes reddened when he saw how Caesar had died in the dingy morgue.

There was a somber look on Tristan’s face as well. “Mr. Goldberg, what are we going to do now?”

He thought that if Caesar, an Amber Realm fighter of Absolute Rank, were to intervene, Finnegan was bound to die. However, now, Finnegan had killed Caesar and was even taunting them by sending Caesar’s b*dy to them.

A wave of fury and helplessness washed over Tristan. He realized Finnegan was far harder to deal with than he imagined.

“I have to kill him!” Oscar gritted his teeth as a murderous look entered his eyes. “I’m going to tell the rest of my seniors that Caesar has been killed by Finnegan. They’re all Enigma Realm fighters. I refuse to believe that Finnegan will survive their a*saults!”

Tristan’s eyes lit up. “Is it the rest of the Goldberg Five? How long will it take for them to arrive?”

Forcing away his anger, Oscar said, “A few days, I’m guessing.”

Tristan was wracked with worry when he heard that, but he dared not urge the rest of the Goldberg Five to come at once. “I’ll try to stir some troubles up for Finnegan first so that he won’t have the time to come after us.”

What he did not know was how Finnegan could not be bothered to attack in advance.

The night went past.

Early in the morning, Finnegan received Quiana’s call, asking him to attend Ximena’s engagement with them. He could not stop his parents from attending it, so he agreed to meet them at a specific time.

After that, he asked Alisha to keep an eye on the Chomsky family so that they knew what the Chomskys were planning to do after seeing Caesar’s b*dy.

Very soon, Alisha came back to report to him. “Tristan did nothing after cremating Caesar instantly. In fact, he even continued to stay in the hospital and never step foot out of the building. However, I’m guessing that he has asked Oscar to get more help. You’ll have to be more careful. It’s highly likely that the incoming help is the rest of the Goldberg Five, and they’re all Enigma Realm fighters. The seniormost among them is Eleazar Goldberg, and apparently, he’s a step away from reaching Terra Realm)
