Chapter 113 The Banishment Chapter 113 The Banishment +10 Free Coins " It wasn't direct , " Finn admitted , " but Sharon met a branch member of the Gunn family overseas . He mocked her for giving up on Jensen , told her what a big figure he'd become . He asked if she regretted it . Sharon couldn't stand the humiliation , so she came back determined to steal Jensen away . Even the excuse of her ' late - stage cancer - that was given to her by him . " Natalie lowered her head with a cold laugh . Yes , there had been outside manipulation .
But if Sharon had been a woman who knew her place , she wouldn't have come back to snatch another woman's man . And Jensen - if he'd truly loved her , no flimsy lie could have shaken him . In the end , it wasn't fate or schemes . It was simply that the love hadn't been deep enough . Shaking her head , Natalie said quietly , " Flies only gather on cracked eggs . Sharon and Jensen ending up together - maybe that's their destiny . Finn was right about one thing . I loved too blindly . I was foolish . " " Don't say that about yourself .
" Baron's tone was sharp , unable to bear hearing her demean herself . But Natalie only smiled at him . " I'll be fine . If I can face my mistakes honestly , my path forward will be steadier and longer . " Shauna glanced at her , startled . She had always thought Natalie was fragile , a hothouse flower that needed Mr. Gunn's protection . Now she realized how wrong she'd been . Finn , too , looked at Natalie in a new light . Freed from the chains of love , she was calm , incisive , seeing truths deeper than most . Baron , seeing her steady again , felt his own tension ease .
His face , however , grew hard . " Shauna , find out who that Gunn branch bastard is . I want him to suffer a fate worse than death ." " Yes ! " Shauna strode out to make the call . Finn's emotions had steadied . He lowered his head . " Mr. Gunn , punish me . I've done unforgivable things . I have no one left . Let my life pay for the brothers I cost . " " You don't want revenge ? " 1/3 18:29 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 113 The Banishment : 51 +10 Free Coins The question snapped Finn's head up . His heart throbbed with longing . He wanted nothing more than vengeance . But would Mr.
Gunn give him the chance ? Baron's sigh was low . " There is a chance . The question is whether you'll take it ." " Mr. Gunn , name it . Through fire or blades , I won't hesitate . " Baron shook his head . " I don't need you in fire or blades . I need you to leave the organization -and for me to hunt you down . " Finn went rigid . Leave ? After decades , after rising step by step from a boy at Baron's side ? It felt worse than death . " Mr. Gunn ... better you kill me now . " " Killing is illegal . I don't break the law ," Baron said flatly .
Even Natalie nearly rolled her eyes - if there was anyone who feared the law least , it was him . Finn slumped , despair swallowing him . Just then , Shauna returned . She saw his face , snorted , and kicked him in the side . " Has your brain gone to the dogs ? " Finn grimaced in pain . " What did dogs do to deserve that ? " " You're worse than a dog . " She glared at him . " Think . The Gunns destroyed your family , and we already have proof you betrayed your brothers . If you stay here , who would follow you ? Better to play along - leave the organization , let Mr. Gunn issue a kill order .
What choice will you have but to survive ? " The realization struck him . " I'd ... have to seek the Gunn family out . Pretend to side with them ." Baron's voice was cool . " Call it what you like . I'm giving you a chance to take revenge with your own hands ." Tears rimmed Finn's eyes again . This was mercy , and it was also a path - one last bond of brotherhood extended to him . He turned to Natalie . Seeing her calm face , her lack of resentment , shame burned in him . He knelt and knocked his forehead to the floor . 2/3 18:29 Wed , Sep 24 Chapter 113 The Banishment : " Ms.
