Chapter 176 Useless
Five women? Five marriage certificates?
Finnegan was dumbfounded.
When he finally realized he hadn’t misheard, the corner of his mouth twitched violently. He stood
up
and cursed, “You old geezer, even my own parents never pulled a stunt like this on me. You actually
found me a wife, and not just one, but five! This is just too much. I disagree. I won’t accept it! My
kidneys aren’t made of titanium!”
Sawyer chuckled and set down the five envelopes. “Well, it’s not my concern. I’ve already made the
arrangements. If you don’t want it, you can call off the engagement yourself.”
To ensure Finnegan didn’t take it lightly, Sawyer added, “You must treat this seriously. Among these
five women, four are not to be underestimated!”
Finnegan picked up the envelope and pulled out the marriage certificate inside.
He was stunned as soon as he read the first one. “The daughter of the Samson family, the head of the
Phoenix Team, Yona Samson? Isn’t she the granddaughter of Old Mr. Samson?”

that Jeremy wasn’t talking nonsense, but Sawyer had arranged a marriage for him
Sawyer playfully said, “So, you have to call off the engagements on your own if you don’t want them.
You can’t treat them as if they never existed. Otherwise, these young ladies will feel disrespected and
they will fight you!”
Finnegan’s l*ps twitched. He really wanted to slap the marriage certificates on Sawyer’s face.
In the end, he still held back his anger. “You old geezer, I’ve been waiting in vain!”
He had hoped that once Sawyer arrived, he would be able to obtain the complete Primordial
Pharmacopoeia, filling in the missing parts of his cultivation.
However, Sawyer didn’t have the complete Primordial Pharmacopoeia either. Instead, he ended up with
five marriage certificates and five fiancées.
Just thinking about it gave Finnegan the creeps.
Sawyer laughed and patted Finnegan’s shoulder. “You are my only disciple. I wouldn’t trick you. Each
of these five girls is a stunning beauty, and none of them is just a pretty face.”
Finnegan shook off Sawyer’s hand. “There are many potential lovers to choose from, but I only need
one.”
“How pedantic!” Sawyer exclaimed with a face full of disdain. “In all my years, through countless eras
with numerous beloved companions, how did I end up with a disciple as useless as you? Don’t you
know that the more confidante a man has, the greater his achievement?”

“Get lost. I’m going to see if Doom Star has awakened,” Finnegan said, heading straight for the
courtyard
gate.
He knew that Sawyer’s seemingly joking remarks to him were not jokes at all.
He needed to take a moment to calm down and digest everything, especially considering the next steps
he had to take with these five marriage certificates.
As he reached the entrance of the courtyard, Finnegan suddenly turned around. “By the way, do you
know where Doom Star came from?”
With a smile, Sawyer waved his hand. “Just move along. Where Doom Star came from doesn’t matter
as long as he sincerely follows you.”
Frowning, Finnegan left, clutching five marriage certificates.
A moment later, Nathan and Zachary returned to the courtyard.
Sawyer’s smile faded as he said, “You remember everything I’ve told you, right? Finnegan will definitely
go to Durbaine within a year, and by then, I will have fulfilled my promise to that person. But whether
Finnegan will follow the path you hope for, that’s up to you!”
Nathan and Zachary nodded. “We appreciate your hard work, sir!”
Noticing a hint of hesitation on Zachary’s face, Sawyer asked, “Zac, is there something you want to
ask?”
Zachary sighed. “You’ve been searching for a disciple for a hundred years. We’ve recommended
countless outstanding young people to you, so why did you ultimately choose Finnegan?”
Sawyer looked up at the azure sky. “I have a legacy, but I myself can only cultivate it to about twenty to
thirty percent. Only he can fully master it.”
Here, he smiled. “To put it simply, I only reached Finnegan’s current level when I was seventy! Do you
understand now?”
Upon hearing this, Zachary and Nathan were shocked.
They were all too aware of how extraordinarily talented Sawyer, the master of many arts, truly was.
Yet, even such a man only reached Finnegan’s current level at the age of seventy.
So who was Finnegan?
Knowing they had understood, Sawyer walked away with his hands behind his back. “I hope by the
time Finnegan steps into Durbaine, their spoiled descendants will have learned to behave themselves.
If not, given Finnegan’s fiery temper, I’m afraid there’s going to be bloodshed in Durbaine.”
The deeply emotional words reached the ears of Zachary and Nathan, sending a shiver down their
spines.
Bloodshed in Durbaine?
“Finnegan, did your master give you a beating? You don’t look so good. Who exactly is your master?
Why are both my grandpa and granddad so polite to him? Lost your tongue? Can’t you say a word?”
When Finnegan returned to the courtyard where he was resting with Doom Star, Romona arrived
shortly after, bombarding him with endless questions.

Finnegan said helplessly, “How did I not notice you talk so much at the beginning?”
“D*mn it. Who are you talking about? And what is
Upon seeing the five envelopes in Finnegan’s hand, Romona reached out to take them.
Finnegan quickly tucked his hands into his pockets. “Come on, you’re the daughter of the Quickwood
family. Can’t you show some manners?”
“D*mn it. Who’s the one lacking manners now?” Romona, infuriated, kicked Finnegan. “I asked you so
many questions and you didn’t answer a single one. So tell me, who’s the one lacking manners now?”
Finnegan sidestepped and rose to his feet, moving to sit on the other side. “Leave me alone. I need
some peace!”
Sawyer didn’t say much and just casually mentioned a few things.
Finnegan was tasked with a mission to travel to Durbaine within a year, gather the missing latter parts
of Primordial Pharmacopoeia, and assist Zachary and his team in completing some tasks. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
He also had five marriage certificates that no ordinary person could even dream of getting.
Finnegan always felt that ever since he left the mountains, or rather, since Sawyer took him as a
disciple, his life had been clearly laid out for him.
Otherwise, how could all of this be explained?
Just as he was lost in thought, an untimely ring from his phone interrupted him, causing Romona, who
wanted to continue to pester him, to temporarily hold her tongue.
Seeing that the call was from Wynter, Finnegan cleared his mind and answered.
“Mr. Larkin, there’s been an incident. I was just about to inspect a factory with Rhia when Solomon and
his people blocked our way. They’ve injured the accompanying b*dyguard and forcibly taken Rhia
away!”
Before he could even speak, Wynter’s anxious voice came through.
A jolt went through Finnegan’s heart, causing him to stand up abruptly. His handsome features were
contorted. “Solomon has taken Rhia?”
Wynter replied, “I’m sorry. I failed to protect Rhia,
“Cut the cr*p. Where did Solomon take her?”
“At the unfinished building at the East Residence. They told you to-
Before Wynter could finish speaking, Finnegan had already hung up the phone and leaped over the
wall.
Romona snapped back to reality and quickly ran to Nathan’s courtyard, exclaiming, “Something’s
happened!”
Then she quickly finished what she had to say.
Nathan said in a deep voice, “This young man from the Zymons family sure has some nerve!”
Sawyer wore a faint smile and said unhurriedly, “Let’s not interfere with the affairs of the young.
