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. “Could it be that Dad’s man got caught and betrayed the Sable family?”
Considering this possibility, Mike quickly got dressed and rushed out of his room to the front door of the
mansion.
“Dad, this must be Finnegan seeking revenge once he learned the truth.”
Leaning on his cane, Reginald had a terrifyingly dark expression. “Of course. All these people are
wearing Wahlstrom family’s clothing. Do you need to point it out?”
Mike gave a bitter smile. “Clearly, the person you hired has been caught and betrayed our family!”
Recalling Bennett, whom he trusted, Reginald-felt his heart sink. He gripped his cane. “Enough with the
nonsense! Let Bryn lead the Sable family elites and bodyguards to hold them off. I’ll 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.”
He knew that the Sable family’s hundred or so elite members and bodyguards couldn’t withstand the
attack of the Wahlstrom family’s 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 family’s elite, to relay the instructions to him.
And then, he dialed Adam’s number.
However, he received a notification saying it couldn’t connect.
“Dad, there’s no signal!”
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. “Check your phones.”
The others also took out their phones, but just like Mike, they didn’t have any signal either.
Reginald’s body shook as he staggered backward. “Is Finnegan really intending to wipe out my family?”
Even the cell phone signal had been cut off, leaving no way out for the Sable family.
Mike anxiously asked, “Dad, what should we do? Without the Wright family’s intervention, we can’t
withstand Finnegan’s retaliation!”

What should I do?
As Reginald lifted his head, just as he was about to say he didn’t know what to do, he saw a familiar
figure killing the Sable family’s elites as if he were chopping vegetables.
Upon closer inspection, Reginald recognized the man. “Mr. Sanchez!”
Confirming he wasn’t mistaken, Reginald angrily shouted, “Bennett, what are you doing? Are you
repaying kindness with enmity?”
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
family’s elite forces in an attack on the Sable family.
Isn’t this just the real-life version of “The Farmer and the Snake?”
A jolt surged through Bennett’s heart. He turned to look at Reginald, a faint sense of guilt lurking in his
eyes.
Howeyer, remembering Reginald wouldn’t hesitate to kill him, and considering the potential danger to
Nancy if he didn’t take action, he pushed aside his guilt once more.
Ignoring Reginald’s accusations, he continued to slaughter the Sable family’s elites.
Reginald’s anger flared as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. “Bennett, you ungrateful backstabber!
Have you forgotten that twelve years ago, if it weren’t for me, you would have died in the streets of
Bellridge? “Have 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?”
Mike finally understood what was going on. He burst out angrily, “D*mn it! My dad asked you to kill
Finnegan, and instead, you’re helping Finnegan attack the Sable family. You ungrateful villain!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Finnegan’s voice echoed through the deafening noise of battle. “I’m
really curious. How do you two manage to sound so righteous when cursing others? So, it’s acceptable
for you to kill others, but it’s outrageous if they retaliate?”
Hearing that, Reginald and Mike looked over only to see Finnegan leisurely walking toward them with
Doom Star and Alisha.
Suddenly, Mike’s anger surged. “Finnegan, you have some nerve! Don’t you know the Sable family’s
status and influence in Jadeborough?”
Finnegan sneered, “I know. But what does it matter? If you’re 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!”
The more he spoke, the more infuriated he became.
In one swift move, Finnegan seized the long knife from a member of Wahlstrom’s elite guard. Charging
straight toward Reginald and Mike, he proclaimed, “This evening, I won’t cease until your family is in
disarray and bathed in blood. If I fail, then I’m not worthy of being called human!”

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. “Dad, this Finnegan is crazy. What do we do?”
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, “Finnegan, 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 won’t be able to bear the consequences when the Sable family falls. Why
invite trouble for yourself?”
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. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Finnegan coldly chuckled, slashing through the elite members of the Sable family in front of him. He
replied loudly, “Now you want to make peace? It’s too late!”
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 family’s 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, “I suppose he’s the only one in the entire Loang who dares to do this, isn’t
he?”
Even the people from the Five Great Families in Loang wouldn’t 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. “Bryn,
draw your gun to take down Finnegan first!”
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.
“You’re seeking death!”

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 Bryn’s forehead.
Bryn’s 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, “Be careful, Bryn!”
