Chapter 150: Chapter 150

Chapter 150 It Really Is Finnegan The van that abducted Josephine drove straight into the Golden Wheel car care center and came to a halt.

A group of elegantly dressed young men and women emerged. They were none other than Vilmar and his group.

Their bodyguards and several dozen thugs were also in tow.

Among them was Todd, who had been invited by Matthias. He stood by Vilmar’s side, seemingly attempting to curry favor and gain his approval.

After all, the Royle family’s assets amounted to hundreds of billions, a close second to the influential Langdon family in Nuthana.

“Why did you bring a woman over?” Vilmar and the rest were stunned to see Josephine being dragged out of the vehicle and thrown to the ground.

They had specifically instructed Todd’s men to capture Finnegan.

Todd, who had hoped to capitalize on this opportunity to establish a closer relationship with Vilmar, promptly asked his subordinates, “I thought Mr. Vilmar wanted you to catch a guy?”

“Mr. Mackle, there’s no other viable option!” his subordinate hurriedly explained. “It’s a bustling urban area, swarming with people and patrolling officers. Trying to apprehend that lad discreetly is impossible. Our only recourse was to kidnap this girl. She’s with that lad. We also left our address to lure him over.”

The tension on Todd’s face eased when he heard that. “Considering the current unrest in Jadeborough, the council has taken stricter control over city affairs. You’ve certainly taken that into account.”

Vilmar and the others, too, responded with a grin.

Josephine asked nervously, “Who are you people? Why have you captured me?”

Seeing the woman tremble in fear, Matthias sized her up and said, “D*mn, why am I suddenly a little jealous of that guy?”

His male companions nodded in agreement.

They were also a bit envious and jealous of Finnegan.

Not only did he have Bernice, one of the renowned Four Beauties of Jadeborough, as his girlfriend, but he had also shared intimate moments with Mandy and was now connected with a capable and elegant beauty like Josephine.

Josephine’s nervousness and fear escalated as the lecherous gazes focused on her.

Vilmar patted Matthias’ shoulder, a sly grin forming on his lips. “Once we take care of that guy, she’ll be yours. How does that sound?”

You’re absolutely right, Mr. Vilmar. What right does that guy have to have such a beauty like her?”

Matthias burst into hearty laughter. “Beauties of this caliber should accompany individuals like us.”

Vilmar chuckled and said, “We should thank your cousin.”

Todd humbly replied, “Mr. Vilmar, your generosity is overwhelming. I merely dispatched a few of my.

men to handle the situation, nothing more.” After a short pause, he asked, “But Mr. Vilmar, why don’t you confront that guy directly to teach him a lesson?”

Besides Vilmar, who came from the esteemed Royle family, even Ariendel and Matthias held significant positions of influence.

The assets of their respective families were easily valued at several billion, if not more.

Ariendel huffed, “Taking action against him is like squashing an ant. But that guy does hold some real talent. He’s not only associated with the Haimowitz and Miles families in Jadeborough but also linked to the Langdon family, the most affluent family in Nuthana. That’s why we need your involvement instead of handling him directly. If the Langdon, Haimowitz, and Miles families decide to investigate, we can support your actions as defending Matthias, whom he humiliated.”

Matthias nodded. “So we have no choice but to trouble you, Todd.”

However, Todd’s face stiffened when he heard what they said. The image of a particular person flickered in his mind. Associated with the Langdon, Haimowitz, and Miles families? Why does that person sound like Finnegan Larkin?

Todd recalled that Tyrone had warned him not to provoke Finnegan if their paths ever crossed.

Todd could not help but ask in a sheepish voice, “What is that guy’s name?”

When he received Matthias’ call during the day, he did not ask who he was supposed to deal with. He simply agreed, wanting to seize the opportunity to please Vilmar.

Vilmar smiled and replied, “His name is Finnegan Larkin, a regular individual who managed to rise through the ranks with his modest abilities. He does have some ties to the Langdon family, to a certain extent. But remember, you’re under Mr. Calandrino’s protection. So, even if you decide to give Finnegan a lesson, the Langdon family won’t dare to say anything.”

The corners of Todd’s mouth twitched violently. D*mn it! It really is Finnegan! Who said he only had connections with the Langdon, Haimowitz, and Miles families? He’s also associated with the Wahlstrom family! He’s not even afraid to cross Solomon!

Just as Todd was on the verge of cautioning them against provoking Finnegan, the man in question strolled into the car care center. “Vilmar Royle, it seems you’re quite sore about losing, huh?”

His face grew dark and malevolent, and an air of chilling menace enveloped him.

He looked at Vilmar as though looking at a dead person.

Tonight, Vilmar and his men had crossed the line.

Vilmar raised an eyebrow, surprised by Finnegan’s swift arrival, but in a split second, he wore a sly and innocent smile.

“Im sore about losing? I have absolutely no connection to tonight’s events. I’m merely here to enjoy the show.

Ariendel sneered, “Exactly. Mr. Vilmar and we aren’t sore losers. It’s just that Matthias’ cousin wanted to give you a taste of your own medicine in defense of Matthias.”

The moment Todd spotted Finnegan, his once-composed expression stiffened. D*mn it! Why are you dumping all of this on me? That guy has the Wahlstrom family backing him!

Before he could even speak, Matthias chuckled. “Exactly. My cousin knew I couldn’t handle the embarrassment well, so he took it upon himself to defend my honor. It has nothing to do with Mr.

Vilmar! Besides, if Mr. Vilmar really wanted to deal with you, he wouldn’t need to enlist anyone else’s help. He could just send his bodyguards to make you beg for mercy.”

Vilmar nodded with a playful smirk. “Absolutely. I could simply dispatch my bodyguards to teach you a lesson without going through all this trouble!”

Finnegan responded with a cold snort before shifting his gaze to Todd. “Mr. Mackle, are you really going to stand up for your cousin?”

Upon hearing that, the crowd was dumbstruck.

Out of curiosity, Matthias asked, “Todd, you know him?”

Smack!

Todd slapped him across the face. “Shut up!”

Everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment.

Ariendel asked, “Mr. Mackle, why did you do that? Isn’t Matthias your cousin?”

“I have no such cousin!” Todd delivered a swift kick to Matthias before promptly positioning himself beside Finnegan.

Amidst the crowd’s looks of surprise and bewilderment, Todd managed a rueful smile. “Mr. Larkin, it was a misunderstanding tonight. I had no idea it was you we were dealing with.”

The crowd could not believe their ears. Wait, what? What’s going on? Why is Todd suddenly so courteous to Finnegan? It seems he’s a little afraid of him, too.

The subsequent occurrence brought about an even more surprising twist of events.

Finnegan lifted his leg and kicked Todd to the ground. “Of course I know you didn’t know it was me.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the nerve to do this. But if the target had been someone else, you would have tortured the person to death, wouldn’t you?”

A few of Todd’s subordinates stepped forward and were about to take Finnegan down. “D*mn it! How dare you lay your finger on Mr. Mackle!”

“Stop right there!” Todd bellowed, clutching his stomach. He then turned around and apologized to Finnegan. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Larkin. I’ll leave right away.”

He had learned froín Leonardo that dealing with Finnegan was no easy task.

Matthias held his stomach and shouted in frustration, “Todd, have you lost your mind? This guy may have some connections, but Mr. Calandrino is on your side. Why in the world are you so afraid of him?”

Marthins could not comprehend Todd’s reaction, and neither could Vilmar, Ariendel, and the others.

How could Finnegan, someone who seemed rather inconspicuous, wield such influence that even Todd, backed by Tyrone, displayed such humility and exhibited signs of fear in Finnegan’s presence?

*P*ck: Can all of you stop talking?” Todd exploded in rage. “Mr. Larkin is Ms. Wahlstrom’s friend and Old Mr. Wahlstrom’s savior!”
