Chapter 256 Passing By
At the street corner, a thousand people dressed in training attire charged forward, forcefully driving
away the pedestrians on the road.
Seeing this, the people of surrounding shops were scared into closing their doors.
In just a moment’s time, the entire street was cordoned off by the disciples of the Martial Arts Alliance.
The expression on Millicent’s face changed in an instant.
She yelled like a mad woman, “Let’s get out of here. Master Farrington is coming!”
Bruce furrowed his eyebrows tightly, a trace of worry visible in his eyes.
Casting a glance at Finnegan, whose warm smile remained unchanged, Bruce steeled himself and
said, “Enough said. I mentioned yesterday that I would attend the opening of Finnegan’s clinic today.
No matter what happens, I will stick to it.”
He paused before adding, “He is my grandson-in-law!”
Bernice was moved in an instant.
Tears welled up in her eyes. “Grandpa!”
Millicent shouted angrily, “Bruce, you must have lost your mind. Even if Finnegan hadn’t offended the
Sable family and Master Farrington, he’s still not worthy to be one of the Zimmerman family. You’ve
gone mad!”
Bruce stepped forward and slapped her. “Millicent, I’m still the one who calls the shots in the
Zimmerman family. If you continue to boss around here, don’t blame me for being rude!”
“Bruce, I can’t believe you hit me over some lowlife. I’m going to fight you to the end!”
Seeing that Millicent was about to blow up, Patrick and Jennifer quickly pulled Bruce to the back, while
Bishop and the others also pulled Millicent away.
Millicent looked as if she was about to cough up blood in frustration. Queenie turned around and gave
Finnegan a cold glare. “What a jinx!”
Finnegan simply ignored it, turning his gaze toward the convoy of cars approaching from the street
corner.
“Finnegan, is everything okay?” Patrick asked in a whisper, still worried.
Finnegan replied, “Mr. Patrick, don’t worry. Nothing will happen today.” He paused, then turned to
Bruce and added in a low voice, “Mr. Patrick, could you please tell Old Mr. Zimmerman that I would like
to have a private chat with him later?”
Since Bruce had made the right choice at a crucial moment, he thought he should also discuss some
issues with him.
Without giving it much thought, Patrick nodded and went over to comfort his elderly father.

Bernice moved closer, tightly holding his hand without uttering a word. Her stance was already clear.
Holding her chest, Millicent gasped for breath. “You’ve all gone mad, completely mad! How dare you
oppose the Sable family and Master Farrington!”
A convoy of over ten vehicles had already arrived, lined up in a row.
The car doors then swung open in unison, and the Sable family’s bodyguards and the Martial Arts
Alliance elites emerged.
Following that, Reginald and Mike, accompanied by Hailey got out of the car with gloomy expressions.
From the car next to them, Wilson also stepped out.
After shooting Finnegan a fierce glare, he hurried to the car parked behind. He lifted Seamus, who was
in a dazed state, out of the vehicle and placed him in a wheelchair. Only then did he move to the other
side to open the car door. “Father, we’ve arrived!”
The expressions on the faces of Reginald and Mike, as well as those around them, turned solemn, as
they knew that someone important was about to appear.
Oswald, dressed in loose black training clothes, with a robust physique and dominant, sharp features,
stepped forward.
He was approaching eighty, yet he displayed minimal indications of aging.
He exuded an intangible pressure as he stood there.
“Father, he’s Finnegan!”
Wilson pointed at Finnegan with hatred.
Mike leaned forward, his voice laced with malice as he chimed in, “Master Farrington, it’s this brat who
turned Mr. Farrington into a fool and crippled Mr. Wilson. He even harmed Liam and the entire Regi
Group!”
Oswald did not respond to them as he fixed his eyes on Finnegan.
He then shifted his gaze to the others. “Are you here to celebrate the opening of Jerome Medical
Clinic?”
His words were tinted with a hint of anger.
After all, he had given his word last night that whoever came to celebrate the opening of Jerome
Medical Clinic would be openly disrespecting him.
Millicent’s legs trembled nervously as she quickly clarified, “Master Farrington, we’re not here for the
grand opening. We’re just passing by.”
“If you’re just passing by, then hurry up and scram!” Wilson said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Millicent quickly shouted to Bruce, Let’s go!”
Although Bruce was nervous, he had no intention of leaving. This infuriated Millicent, who turned and
ordered his bodyguard, “Go, take him away. If Patrick and his family want to die, let them. Just let them
die!”

The faces of Bernice, Patrick, and Jennifer changed color. They couldn’t believe Millicent could utter
such heartless words.
Finnegan, on the other hand, maintained his smile. He was not surprised.
It’s not like they’re her own flesh and blood. It would be strange if she actually cared.
However, Finnegan had no intention of speaking out. He wanted to see what Oswald and his group
were really up to.
Bruce swept his gaze over the Zimmerman family’s bodyguards. “Don’t think about being a bodyguard
for the Zimmerman family in the future if you dare to move.”
After stopping the bodyguards, Bruce cast a disgusted glance at Millicent. “If you want to leave, then
leave. Today, I’m here to attend the opening of Jerome Medical Clinic.”
“Dad!”
“Grandpa!”
Bruce seemed to have made up his mind.. He said angrily, “Enough with the nonsense! If you want to
stay, then stay with me and stand with Finnegan. Otherwise, get lost!”
Millicent was shaking with anger. “Bruce, this is the path you’ve chosen for yourself. Don’t expect me to
collect your body when you’re dead.”
With a stern look, she turned around and said, “Let’s go!”
She immediately got into the car with Bishop’s family, accompanied only by five or six bodyguards.
They didn’t leave, however. They simply retreated beyond the blockade of the Martial Arts Alliance
disciples.
A touch of melancholy and bitterness flashed in Bruce’s eyes. He hadn’t expected that Millicent and the
others would choose to leave.
Bernice walked over with a pained heart and took Bruce’s hand. “Grandpa!”
Bruce managed a smile and said, “I’m fine. I haven’t taken good care of your family over the years.
Consider this as my way of making up for it.”
Oswald said coldly, “Bruce, we’ve been friends for a while. I’m giving you another chance. Have yo
granddaughter break off her engagement with Finnegan, take the Zimmerman family, and leave. I
pretend you never showed up today!”
It would be a lie if Bruce said he wasn’t nervous when facing Oswald.
“He’s the grandfather of my wife.” But before he could speak, Finnegan, who had been silently observi
stepped forward with a smile. “What gives you the right to speak to him like that? And especially in fro
of me?”
The entire place fell into immediate silence, with everyone’s eyes wide open in shock.
Retreating to a distance, Millicent sneered, “This kid is seeking death!”

Timothy said maliciously. “It would be great if Master Farrington got rid of him directly. That way, we can
have a say in Bernice’s marriage again!”
Wilson snapped, “Kid, you’re used to being arrogant, aren’t you? Do you know who my father is?”
“What an arrogant brat.” Reginald couldn’t help but snart coldly.
Only Oswald remained silent, his eyes narrowed. Those who knew him well understood that this was a
sign he was getting angry.
Finnegan, however, seemed nonchalant, his gaze playfully sweeping over Reginald and Mike. “Old Mr.
Sable. Mr. Sable, let’s not discuss whether I’m arrogant or not. Shouldn’t you be focusing on mitigating
the crisis caused by Liam that fool? Instead, you’re here finding trouble with me. Aren’t you afraid of
bringing more bad luck upon yourselves?”
The mention of Liam immediately ignited an even greater fury in Mike. “Finnegan, you think you can get
away unscathed with Master Farrington here today?”
Finnegan said disdainfully, “What the hell does he think he is?”
