Aiden Finnegan the Alchemist in Delcord novel Chapter 143

Angelina realized that it was necessary for the two of them to have a conversation, so she quickly excused herself, saying, "I need to use the restroom."

After Angelina had left the private room, Zachary spoke earnestly, "Denny, I would like to collaborate with you in the future, and the Thatcher Family also wishes to maintain a strong relationship with you."

"Is it really that simple?" Aiden asked calmly.

Zachary nodded. "Yes, it is that straightforward."

"Denny, you may see this matter as insignificant, but for the Thatcher Family, it is an investment. For me, it is simply a matter between friends. I understand that you won't be staying in Keyland in the future, but I hope to be of assistance to you."

Upon hearing this, Aiden pondered for a moment and replied, "I understand."

The intentions of the Thatcher Family were clear. They were placing their bets on him. Zachary had a close personal relationship with Aiden. Even if he had no direct contact with the Thatcher Family, Zachary's connection would ensure that he wouldn't stand idly by if the Thatcher Family encountered any difficulties.

Seeing Aiden nod, Zachary grinned. He then turned around, looking puzzled as he asked, "Why has Angelina been gone for so long?"

Aiden was also somewhat perplexed.

Meanwhile, in the corridor outside the private room, Angelina was approached by a middle-aged man with an aggressive expression. The man tightly gripped Angelina's delicate hand.

Struggling, Angelina exclaimed, "What do you want? Get your hands off me!"

"No one in Keyland has ever dared to speak to me like that before. I like your spirited attitude!" The middle-aged man chuckled.

His face was flushed, clearly from consuming a significant amount of alcohol.

The group of men accompanying the middle-aged man also laughed crudely.

Immediately, the middle-aged man forcefully grabbed Angelina and began leading her toward a private room, saying, "Have some fun with me!"

"Help! Help!" Angelina shouted loudly.

"Let's see who dares to interfere in my affairs!" the middle-aged man arrogantly declared.

Yet, before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, he was sent flying.

Angelina quickly looked over and saw Aiden standing in front of her, coldly observing the middle-aged man lying on the ground.

The middle-aged man clutched his stomach, his face pale with pain, unable to utter a word as he pointed at Aiden.

Just moments ago, Aiden had come out to check on Angelina, who had been gone for a while. When he reached the vicinity of the restroom, he heard her cry for help and rushed over. The scene of Aiden kicking the middle-aged man ensued.

After a while, the middle-aged man finally caught his breath and cursed at Aiden, "Damn it, how dare you hit me? Get him and break his arm!"

The young men were still in shock from the recent events. Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, some of them shouted and rushed toward Aiden while two men quickly helped the middle-aged man to his feet.

"Mr. Taylor, are you alright?"

"You let him kick you and see how it feels! Damn it, it hurts!" Mr. Taylor angrily exclaimed, "Beat him to death for me!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw his subordinates already lying on the ground.

Aiden appeared beside Mr. Taylor and coldly inquired, "So, you’re Mr. Taylor?"

Mr. Taylor, realizing he was no match for Aiden, immediately admitted defeat and said, "I won't change my name or surname. I am Colton Taylor. Today, I acknowledge my defeat at your hands."

"In that case, I will spare you." Aiden snorted and raised his hand, preparing to strike Colton.

In fact, Aiden had some admiration for Colton. Despite his rough nature, his willingness to accept punishment was commendable.

Aiden then turned to Angelina and asked, "Angelina, what do you think we should do?"

Angelina looked at Colton's swollen face and felt somewhat shocked. Feeling uncertain, she said, "He has already slapped himself. Maybe we should just let it go?"

"Get up," Aiden said calmly. "But if I ever catch you being so overbearing again, I won't go easy on you."

"Thank you, Mr. Finnegan! Thank you, Mrs. Finnegan!" Colton quickly stood up and expressed his gratitude to the two of them.

Approaching Angelina, Colton casually slapped himself twice and said, "Mrs. Finnegan, I apologize. I have always been a disgrace my entire life. I hope I didn't frighten you!"

Observing Colton slap himself as if it didn't hurt, Angelina couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Finnegan, Mr. Thatcher, are you here to dine?" Colton asked.

"Why else would we be here if not to eat?" Zachary replied irritably.

Colton burst into laughter and turned to his subordinates, saying, "Quickly, go and prepare dishes and deliver them to Mr. Finnegan and Mr. Thatcher's rooms. Also, bring my bottle of vintage wine!"

Before the two could respond, he downed his glass in one gulp.

Zachary looked at Colton helplessly while a smile appeared on Aiden's face. "You should thank Zachary for being here today, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, I believe my men would already be searching for a burial plot for me!" Colton laughed heartily.
