Chapter 277 Being Ungrateful The deafening shouts of killing shocked Mike.
Seeing Hailey still motionless, he pushed her aside and ran to the window. He saw hundreds of elite members from the Wahlstrom family attacking the Sable family from all sides, already infiltrating the garden.
His face changed instantly. âCould it be that Dadâs man got caught and betrayed the Sable family?â
Considering this possibility, Mike quickly got dressed and rushed out of his room to the front door of the mansion.
âDad, this must be Finnegan seeking revenge once he learned the truth.â
Leaning on his cane, Reginald had a terrifyingly dark expression. âOf course. All these people are wearing Wahlstrom familyâs clothing. Do you need to point it out?â
Mike gave a bitter smile. âClearly, the person you hired has been caught and betrayed our family!â
Recalling Bennett, whom he trusted, Reginald-felt his heart sink. He gripped his cane. âEnough with the nonsense! Let Bryn lead the Sable family elites and bodyguards to hold them off. Iâll reward one million each afterward. Also, call Mr. Wright. I refuse to believe that the Wright family would let Finnegan destroy the Sable family just because he nearly got killed as it would affect the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people.â
He knew that the Sable familyâs hundred or so elite members and bodyguards couldnât withstand the attack of the Wahlstrom familyâs several hundred elites Now, all he could do was pin his hopes on the Wright family.
Mike hurriedly summoned Bryn, the leader of the Sable familyâs elite, to relay the instructions to him.
And then, he dialed Adamâs number.
However, he received a notification saying it couldnât connect.
âDad, thereâs no signal!â
What?
Quickly, Reginald grabbed his phone to check, only to find that there was indeed not a single bar of signal.
Panic finally set in. âCheck your phones.â
The others also took out their phones, but just like Mike, they didnât have any signal either.
Reginaldâs body shook as he staggered backward. âIs Finnegan really intending to wipe out my family?â
Even the cell phone signal had been cut off, leaving no way out for the Sable family.
Mike anxiously asked, âDad, what should we do? Without the Wright familyâs intervention, we canât withstand Finneganâs retaliation!â
[11 What should I do?
As Reginald lifted his head, just as he was about to say he didnât know what to do, he saw a familiar figure killing the Sable familyâs elites as if he were chopping vegetables.
Upon closer inspection, Reginald recognized the man. âMr. Sanchez!â
Confirming he wasnât mistaken, Reginald angrily shouted, âBennett, what are you doing? Are you repaying kindness with enmity?â
Both he and Mike thought that Bennett had betrayed the Sable family after being captured.
Unexpectedly, Bennett was not captured. Instead, he took the lead, spearheading the Wahlstrom familyâs elite forces in an attack on the Sable family.
Isnât this just the real-life version of âThe Farmer and the Snake?â
A jolt surged through Bennettâs heart. He turned to look at Reginald, a faint sense of guilt lurking in his eyes.
Howeyer, remembering Reginald wouldnât hesitate to kill him, and considering the potential danger to Nancy if he didnât take action, he pushed aside his guilt once more.
Ignoring Reginaldâs accusations, he continued to slaughter the Sable familyâs elites.
Reginaldâs anger flared as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. âBennett, you ungrateful backstabber!
Have you forgotten that twelve years ago, if it werenât for me, you would have died in the streets of Bellridge? âHave you forgotten that I brought you back to Jadeborough, secured the farmhouse for you, and helped you settle down with a new identity? How could you lead my enemy to attack my family?
Where is your conscience?â
Mike finally understood what was going on. He burst out angrily, âD*mn it! My dad asked you to kill Finnegan, and instead, youâre helping Finnegan attack the Sable family. You ungrateful villain!â
As soon as he finished speaking, Finneganâs voice echoed through the deafening noise of battle. âIâm really curious. How do you two manage to sound so righteous when cursing others? So, itâs acceptable for you to kill others, but itâs outrageous if they retaliate?â
Hearing that, Reginald and Mike looked over only to see Finnegan leisurely walking toward them with Doom Star and Alisha.
Suddenly, Mikeâs anger surged. âFinnegan, you have some nerve! Donât you know the Sable familyâs status and influence in Jadeborough?â
Finnegan sneered, âI know. But what does it matter? If youâre intent on killing me, then be prepared for me to fight back regardless of your identity, status, or background. Even if you come from a hundred-
year-old prestigious family, you are not an exception!â
The more he spoke, the more infuriated he became.
In one swift move, Finnegan seized the long knife from a member of Wahlstromâs elite guard. Charging straight toward Reginald and Mike, he proclaimed, âThis evening, I wonât cease until your family is in disarray and bathed in blood. If I fail, then Iâm not worthy of being called human!â
||I Without the Great Monad Stone, he would already be a cold corpse by now.
Just thinking about that gave Finnegan the chills.
There was no way he would let the Sable family go free Doom Star raised his head, carrying a black saber as he followed Finnegan from behind for protection.
Seeing Finnegan charging toward them like a madman without any consideration for their background and status, Mike grew flustered.
He realized that his background and status, which he was immensely proud of, were worthless in front of Finnegan. âDad, this Finnegan is crazy. What do we do?â
Alas, Reginald was out of ideas as even the Wright family was siding with Finnegan.
To stabilize the situation, Reginald forced himself to remain calm and shouted, âFinnegan, it was my mistake to hire someone to kill you tonight. I can apologize to you, even let go of the issues between Liam and Regi Group. How about stopping here? Persisting in your stubborn ways will only bring momentary satisfaction. You wonât be able to bear the consequences when the Sable family falls. Why invite trouble for yourself?â
In his heart, Reginald intended to yield temporarily.
After tonight, once Finnegan withdrew, he could slowly figure out other ways to salvage the dignity lost tonight.
Finnegan coldly chuckled, slashing through the elite members of the Sable family in front of him. He replied loudly, âNow you want to make peace? Itâs too late!â
He increased his speed, causing the elite guards and bodyguards of the Sable family standing in the way to fall one after another.
With Finnegan and Doom Star joining, along with Bennett leading hundreds of elite Wahlstrom family members charging ahead, the Sable familyâs elites kept retreating. In the blink of an eye, they had lost half of their men.
It was only a matter of time before the Sable family was destroyed and controlled entirely.
Alisha whispered nervously, âI suppose heâs the only one in the entire Loang who dares to do this, isnât he?â
Even the people from the Five Great Families in Loang wouldnât dare to openly declare a bloodbath on a family-controlling corporation worth billions brazenly.
At this moment, Reginald was thoroughly provoked by Finnegan and chose to make a last stand. âBryn, draw your gun to take down Finnegan first!â
Perhaps the consequences of taking Finnegan down would be severe, but at least there would be a little more hope for tonight after Finnegan was eliminated.
Bryn quickly stepped back, drew the gun he carried, and aimed it at Finnegan.
âYouâre seeking death!â
Before Bryn could shoot, Finnegan waved his left hand, and a silver needle too small for the naked eye to see shot out, instantly piercing Brynâs forehead.
Brynâs body shook, and his eyes showed three seconds of confusion as if he had become dumbfounded.
By the time his eyes returned to normal, Finnegan had already counter-kicked a Sable family elite, approaching with momentum.
Reginald exclaimed, âBe careful, Bryn!â
