Chapter 1144 The Final Showdown (XI)

• Back when he went to pick up Finn Wembley and saw him packing cash, he already guessed it: in the end, Finn would cave. Finn had probably figured out what his son was planning ages ago. At this point, maybe running really was the only way out. Finn himself likely wanted Finn Jr. to bolt to Europe. If he got caught, even a light sentence would wreck any chance of him taking over Chengkai down the line.
• Finn Jr. didn’t care to listen. He patted his backpack, eyes shining with greedy relief. This was the thing he needed most, the lifeline he’d been waiting for. “Thanks, Dad. I knew you wouldn’t watch me walk into the firing squad.” He was already itching to go.
• Finn Wembley had nothing left to say. Watching his son’s panicked rush, he murmured, “If you’re set on running, then run. I’ll drive you to Millsborough Airport. After that… you’re on your own.”
