Chapter 247 Liam Panics Amid the fierce battle cries of the Wahlstrom familyâs elite, a gradual pallor and bewilderment began to creep into Liamâs eyes. How did they end up together?
Even if Finnegan were to bring Mandy and Trey with him, Liam would remain fearless, even serene.
However, the one Finnegan had by his side was Alisha, the daughter of the Wahlstrom family.
She was a person who even his grandfather, Reginald, would treat with respect.
Finnegan halted, raising his right hand gently, then brought it down forcefully. âClear the field!â
As his words fell, Duncan dashed toward the bodyguards led by Daniel. The elite members of the Wahlstrom family retreated in a timely manner, providing Duncan with ample space.
The cutlass thrust forward, and the bodyguards from the Sable family died on the spot.
With eyes blazing red, Daniel brandished his large sword, slashing directly at Duncan. âDie!â
Duncan slightly lifted his eyelids.
With a swift wave of his right hand, the cutlass cunningly slid under the large sword, aiming straight for Danielâs heart.
Axelâs face turned pale. âDaniel! Dodge quickly!â
Ducanâs speed was too fast, so fast that it had pierced Danielâs heart before Axel could even voice a warning.
âPfft!â
Danielâs body stiffened, his eyes wide open as he fell heavily to the ground.
âDaniel!â
Seeing his only younger brother stabbed through the heart and fall, Axel could no longer concern himself with protecting Liam.
With a roar, he charged forward, aiming his gun directly at Duncan, ready to avenge Daniel by killing him.
Just as he made a move, a streak of black light appeared before his eyes.
In the next moment, Axelâs gun-holding hand was severed from his body and fell to the ground.
Standing before him was the indifferent-faced Doom Star.
Axel couldnât help but open his mouth wide in pain, exclaiming, âMy-â
Before he could finish his sentence, Doom Starâs black saber had already swept past his throat, severing his life with a single stroke.
Wide-eyed, Axel fell heavily backward onto the ground, dead beyond any doubt.
r Liamâs body jolted, finally reacting. His face twisted in anger as he roared, âFinnegan, what are you trying to do? And Ms. Wahlstrom, how could you be with someone as lowly as Finnegan?â
He knew that Finnegan had a good relationship with the Haimowitz and Miles families and the Langdon family.
He also knew that Finnegan had been hired by Alexander as a special physician for the General Hospital.
He was well aware that Finnegan had saved Soren and thus had a bit of a connection with the Caulder family.
But he had never heard that Finnegan and Alisha knew each other.
Alisha gave him a casual glance and said, âFinnegan has always been my friend, a respected guest of our family. So, youâd better watch your words. Finnegan is not the lowly person you make him out to be!â
What? Is Finnegan a distinguished guest of the Wahlstrom family? Why has no one ever told me?
Liamâs body jolted back two steps, bumping right into Hailey, who had just arrived outside.
Suddenly struck by a thought, he grabbed Hailey by the collar. âHailey, what on earth is going on?
Finnegan has connections with the Wahlstrom family, too. Why didnât you find out?â
If he had known that Finnegan and the Wahlstrom family were acquainted, even though he would never let go of his hatred and murderous intent toward Finnegan, he would at least conceal that resentment. He would then find a better opportunity to strike.
Haileyâs eyes sparkled, and a sense of unease brew within her.
Seeing Finnegan, she instantly gained confidence and pushed Liam away. She ran to Finneganâs side amidst his shocked and surprised gaze. âBecause I belong to Mr. Larkin. Even if I found out, I wouldnât have told you.â
Liamâs body trembled violently, his face twisted in anger. âF*ck! No wonder things have felt off since I got out. But why would you do this? Would you be where you are today without me?â
âEverything I have today, Iâve earned with my own body. Weâre nothing more than a transaction!â At this moment, Hailey no longer hid her feelings, bravely meeting Liamâs angry gaze. âAs for betraying you, itâs simple. Because youâre a selfish person, and Iâm afraid youâd sacrifice me!â
Hailey then revealed the fact that Finnegan had left Bruceâs birthday feast alongside Stephen. She even mentioned how Stephen opened the car door for Finnegan.
In the end, she added, âI knew Mr. Larkin must be someone extraordinary to have Mr. Wright open the car door for him. I intended to tell you at the time. But considering your self-serving nature, I was sure that once you knew, you would sacrifice me to gain Mr. Larkinâs forgiveness. Thatâs why I chose to side with Mr. Larkin, even telling him that you were the one causing trouble behind the scenes at Firebird Group! But you have no reason to hate me. If anyoneâs to blame, itâs you for not making me feel secure!â
The furious Liam turned even paler. âWhat did you say? Wasnât Mr. Wright invited by Gilbert and Winston? Did Mr. Wright specifically come to see Finnegan? Did he also open the car door for Finnegan when they left?â
Hailey responded, âThatâs right. Iâve already informed Mr. Larkin about everything you plan to do next, including all the disgusting things your family has done over the years. Iâve compiled and handed them |||
J over to Mr. Larkin!â
âF*ck! Iâll kill you!â Betrayed by the lover he had nurtured for years, Liamâs anger suppressed his inner fear.
With a roar, he charged toward Hailey, intending to strangle her to death.
Suppressing his murderous intent, Finnegan pulled Hailey behind him and sent Liam flying with a forward kick. âShe just said sheâs mine now. What right do you have to touch her?â
Liam, though battered, managed to stand up. âFinnegan, I underestimated you,â he admitted. âI didnât expect you to have your pawns around me all this time. But what of it? All the things Iâve done to you were just minor pranks. But you stormed in tonight without reason, killing so many of my people. Just wait for your bad luck to hit. Even if you have the Wahlstrom family and the Wright family backing you up, so what?â
Hailey sneered, âMr. Sable, have you forgotten what you just discussed with Axel? How can you have the audacity to claim that what youâve done is minor?â
Upon hearing that, Liam suddenly realized that Hailey had heard everything he had done against Finneganâs family.
Suddenly, anger surged in his heart, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. âHailey, f*ck you!â
âThis time, youâve indeed wronged Hailey.â Finnegan reached out and took the knife handed over by the Wahlstrom familyâs elite. He walked toward Liam as if he were taking a stroll. âShe did send me a message just now, saying that she found out my parents were framed by you, with Axel acting on your orders. But even before she sent the message, I already knew you were the one pulling the strings behind the scenes.â
With a slight chill in his eyes, he stood in front of Liam âOtherwise, why would I have come so quickly?â
Liam panicked. âFinnegan, you⦠Ah!â.
A TH Before he could finish speaking, a flash of a blade suddenly appeared.
Finnegan severed Liamâs right arm.
At this point, all of Liamâs courage and arrogance had vanished. He could feel the breath of death.
âFinnegan, you canât kill me. My grandfather is Reginald. Besides, we donât have a deep-seated grudge. Itâs not worth it for you to kill me over this!â
Finnegan brandished his sword again, showing no mercy. âIndeed, itâs not a deep-seated grudge that warrants a fight to the death. However, in my book, harming my family is a capital offense!â
Whoosh!
His left arm severed from his body, Liam cried out in agony, âFinnegan, you wonât be able to bear the consequences of killing me, even if the Wahlstrom family and Wright family areââ
Finnegan interrupted, âI could even kill Solomon and Vilmar. Who do you think you are?â
