Chapter 275 Take Action
After leaving the Wright family with a murderous intent, Finnegan made several phone calls in
succession.
“Doom Star, I’m still alive. Stop Bennett from taking action and wait till I
get
there.”
“Vixen, I need you to gather people and seal off the Sable family’s garden in one hour. No one gets in
or out. In forty minutes, cut off all signals!”
“Ms. Langdon, please lead your team to Bennett Farmhouse. Check on my sister and the others there.”
The last call was to Hailey. “Where are you? Go to the Sable family’s garden immediately and wait
outside. I’ll be there within thirty minutes!”
After making these calls, Finnegan hailed a taxi. “Lowvalley Residence!”
Twenty minutes later, Finnegan arrived at Lowvalley Residence, where the Sable family’s garden was
located. A
As soon as he got out of the car, Doom Star and Bennett emerged from the shadows.
Seeing Finnegan seemingly unharmed, even the usually aloof Doom Star couldn’t help but be
astonished.
Shock filled Bennett’s face. “How are you okay?”
At that time, he was nearest to Finnegan and knew well that surviving such injuries would be a
challenge.
But now, Finnegan not only survived but seemed uninjured.
It felt somewhat unbelievable.
Finnegan’s mind was filled with only killing intent at this moment. He had no desire to explain further.
Regarding the Great Monad Stone, an inexplicable object, Finnegan didn’t bother elaborating much.
“I’ve been taking medicinal soups to temper my body every day for years. My strength and self-healing
abilities are much better than those of an ordinary person. It seemed dangerous at the time, but it didn’t
actually hurt my heart.”
Upon hearing this, Bennett nodded without much doubt. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain why
Finnegan was still alive.
He straightened up a bit and earnestly pleaded, “When it’s time to deal with the Sable family, let me
take the lead!”
Even though he didn’t cause any substantial harm to Finnegan tonight, he had, after all, harbored a
murderous intent toward Finnegan.
Seeing how Nathan imposed martial law in Jadeborough to capture the sniper for Finnegan, Bennett
knew he had to do something or face consequences.
He wasn’t afraid of death but worried that his actions might affect Nancy!
Finnegan looked at him. “It seems you care a lot about Nancy. But can you really do it?”
Although he didn’t know how Bennett and Reginald had met or how Bennett owed Reginald a life-
saving favor, once Bennett made a move against the Sable family, it would be a betrayal of the favor.
Bennett tilted his head to look at his bandaged left shoulder and replied, “This shot has already severed
the favor between me and Old Mr. Sable. Besides, I’ll only target the rest of the Sable family, not him or
his close relatives!”
Understanding Bennett’s thoughts, Finnegan nodded. “Okay, as long as you don’t feel pressured.”
A moment later, Hailey arrived by car. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
As soon as she got out of the car, she hurried over to Finnegan.
Seeing him in blood-stained clothes with a cold expression, Hailey instinctively straightened up. “Mr.
Larkin, what happened?”
Finnegan briefly informed Hailey, “Tonight, Reginald hired someone to kill me. He cunningly arranged
both overt and covert attacks, and I was nearly killed. Therefore, I don’t plan to give the Sable family
any more chances to recover, and I don’t care about the consequences of their downfall!”
A
Upon hearing this, the astute Hailey immediately knew that the attack Finnegan encountered tonight
must have been extremely dangerous.
She didn’t press further. “Then what should I do?”
Finnegan sneered, “I heard that besides employing dozens of bodyguards, the Sable family also
secretly trained hundreds of elites. Is that right?”
“Exactly!” Hailey nodded. “The ten prominent families in Jadeborough have a tacit understanding over
this. After all, there are always some unsavory matters that are not suitable for bodyguards to handle!”
The smirk on Finnegan’s face deepened.
He put his arm around Hailey’s shoulder, drawing her close.
As her body stiffened, he whispered in her ear, “When I take action, I want to cripple the enemy. Now,
go and do a few things for me. I want the Sable family to pose no threat to me after tonight!”
He then shared his plan with Hailey.
Upon hearing this, Hailey turned pale as she nodded. “Rest assured, Mr. Larkin, I will not let you down.”
Finnegan let her go. “Go ahead. If everything goes well, you’ll be my tea-serving maid after this.”
Upon hearing this, Hailey, who was initially a bit nervous about Finnegan’s plan, brightened up and
said, “I’ll go right away!”
As Hailey drove away, Bennett, who had just heard everything, bore a complex expression. “Mr. Larkin,
what is your plan?”
Finnegan inclined his head and replied, “Didn’t I just say? When I take action, I want to cripple the
enemy. And if it weren’t for my good luck tonight, I would already be dead. Am I supposed to show
mercy and magnanimity to the Sable family’s underlings?”
O

Bennett was taken aback as he discovered for the first time just how terrifying Finnegan could be.
Is this really just a twenty-three-year-old young man?
Finnegan didn’t care how Bennett perceived him. He turned his head and beckoned to Doom Star,
“Where’s Duncan?”
“He is in pursuit of the sniper!”
“Very well, that sniper must die too!”‘
In the brightly lit villa hall, both Reginald and Mike were still up.
Seeing Hailey walking in, Liam asked, “Why are you here?”
Reginald glanced at her but quickly averted his gaze, seemingly preoccupied with something else. He
seemed anxious.
Approaching, Hailey maintained a natural expression and replied, “I just received some information, so
I hurried over to tell you.”
Liam seemed a bit impatient. “What can you know that we don’t?”
“Finnegan almost died in an assassination attempt tonight at a farmhouse. Angered by this, Old Mr.
Wright mobilized the Military Department and the police department to impose martial law on
Jadeborough, conducting a thorough investigation into the killer! After narrowly escaping death,
Finnegan also had Alisha mobilize hundreds of elite forces, vowing to find the mastermind behind the
scenes and kill anyone without mercy!”
At this point, Hailey added, “I thought you’d definitely be interested in this news, so I came over as
soon as I could!”
Upon hearing this, Liam suddenly stood up. His eyes widened in surprise, “Finnegan was alm an
assassination? That-”
Before he could finish speaking, Reginald suddenly became agitated. “What did you just say? Wright
got involved because he was furious about this? Does Finnegan have a relationship with family?”
Hailey said, “This is the news I just received. It turns out that Finnegan healed Ms. Waylynn Wright was
burned five years ago. As a result, the Wright family owes him a favor.”
After a pause, Hailey deliberately asked, “Old Mr. Sable, why do you seem not pleased to hear about
Finnegan’s assassination attempt? Why are you more concerned about Finnegan having a relationship
with the Wright family?”
din
Prompted, Liam also realized. “Yeah, Dad, why do you seem not happy when you hear about
Finnegan’s trouble?”
Reginald’s expression tensed up slightly.
He swept a harsh and inscrutable gaze over Hailey. “Leave now. You can spend the night at the Sable
residence. Let me know if anything comes up.”

After Hailey left, Reginald gripped his cane tightly and said solemnly, “Mike, there are a few things you
need to do now to prepare for Finnegan’s attack!”
Comprehension dawned on Mike as he demanded, “Dad, you didn’t arrange the attack on Finnegan
tonight, did you?”
At this moment, Reginald no longer concealed it. “It was me!”
