Chapter 278 What Are You Talking About Reginaldâs warning wasnât slow.
However, Bryn, influenced by the silver needle hidden weapon, lost focus for three seconds. When he regained his senses, he was still sluggish. He only managed to react when Finnegan approached by trying to fire his gun.
However, it was already too late.
As the sword swung across the air, Bryn screamed in agony. His right hand was severed from the wrist by Finnegan, and along with the gun, it dropped to the ground.
In the next moment, Finneganâs blade turned, abruptly ending Brynâs screams.
A bloodstain slowly appeared at his throat. His eyes bulged as he toppled backward, dead with his eyes open.
âBryn!â
âBryn!â
Reginald and the elite members led by Bryn exclaimed simultaneously.
Over a dozen Sable family elites left Doom Star behind and rushed toward Finnegan, ready to avenge Bryn.
Finnegan turned and said, âGo help Bennett.â
Hearing this, Doom Star halted his charge and moved to assist Bennett in dealing with the remaining Sable family elites.
A dozen individuals approached Finnegan, launching a coordinated attack as if attempting to dismember him and scatter his remains.
Finnegan merely lifted his gaze.
With a wild roar, he swung his long sword.
The continuous clanging sounds echoed as Finnegan severed more than a dozen attacking blades. He also slit their hands, causing them to involuntarily release their weapons and clutch their hands in pain.
With a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes, Finnegan raised the coiled long sword to continue the fight, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Sable family elites who had lost their weapons.
Watching them fall one by one, Reginald, who had cultivated a steady mindset for over seventy years, finally couldnât maintain his composure.
Trembling, he shook his head incessantly. âNo, this canât be it. This canât happen.â
Something occurred to him as he caught hold of Mikeâs hand. âDidnât you have a good relationship with Tyrone? Quickly call him for help. As long as we survive this crisis, Iâll give him ten billion⦠no, fifty billion!â
With a mournful face, Mike responded, âDad, have you forgotten that the signal is blocked? Besides, Mr. Calandrino is affiliated with the Wahlstrom family. How could he possibly assist us against Finnegan who has the Wahlstrom familyâs support?â
Reginald was plunged into deeper despair.
His legs gave way, and he sat down on the ground. âWhy is this happening? Why?â
He couldnât accept that the Sable family was being oppressed to this extent by Finnegan, who came from a humble background.
He couldnât accept the ingratitude of Bennett, who had turned against them.
Above all, he couldnât accept that the Sable family, facing Finneganâs overwhelming pressure, was utterly powerless to resist.
Mike, equally powerless, sat down beside his father. âItâs all because of Liamâs mistake. If he hadnât coveted Bernice, our family wouldnât be in this situation.â.
âAre you suggesting that you are innocent?â
At this point, Finnegan had finished off the group of elites who had approached him, and the others dared not intervene.
Reginald raised his head, his gaze dejected, âIsnât that the case?â
Finnegan discarded the already broken long knife, saying, âSpare the rod, spoil the child! While Liam is indeed the root cause of everything, without your indulgence and tacit approval, how could he repeatedly, target me, deepening the conflict between me and the Sable family? So, you are not innocent; you bear responsibility for everything that has befallen the Sable family today! And it was you and your son who conspired with Bishop to frame Bernice using A Thousand Dreams. At that time, Liam was unaware, right?â
Mike suddenly looked up. âHow do you know?â
It was Reginald who looked at Bennett still fighting the others and asked, âDid he tell you that I once asked him for A Thousand Dreams?â
âIâm the one who told Mr. Larkin!â
Before Finnegan could respond, Hailey, who had just fainted briefly due to lack of oxygen, walked out.
She no longer hid herself and stood beside Finnegan.
Startled, Mike roared, âHailey, are you with Finnegan?â
Reginald, however, seemed to figure something out and sighed sadly, âI was curious from the beginning. When Liam dealt with you, it seemed like he turned a blind eye, unable to find many things that could be found. It turns out you had already bought off Hailey! If Iâm not mistaken, you just had her deliberately pass information, making me concentrate the elite forces of the Sable family to be wiped out, right?â
Finnegan gave Hailey a somewhat frustrated glance.
How is this woman still alive?
ر With a sigh of regret, Finnegan said, âItâs no surprise that youâre the one who established Regi Group and made it the leading company in Nuthanaâs medical industry. Your mind is sharp!â
Reginald smiled bitterly âBut I realized it too late. Otherwise, would I let her ruin the Sable family step by step?â
Hailey snorted, âBlame Liam and yourselves for being heartless and ruthless, sacrificing anyone for your profits!â
Speaking of which, she cast a scornful glance at the now naked and unrecognizable Mike.
Finnegan motioned for Hailey to step aside as he didnât want to waste time. âWhere is the sniper? Tell me, and the males under ten years old in the Sable family can survive. Otherwise, all thirty-six members of the Sable family, including your daughter-in-law and granddaughter overseas, will be wiped out!â
Without the Great Monad Stone, he would be dead by now.
So, Finnegan not only wanted to annihilate the entire Sable family but also to eliminate the sniper, as that person was the one who truly killed him!
But upon hearing this, Reginald was taken aback. âWhat did you say?â
Finneganâs expression turned slightly cold. âAre you still playing dumb with me at this point? Or are you trying to bring about the destruction of the entire Sable family?â
The ongoing battle was nearing its end. Bennett withdrew from the fight and walked over, âOld Mr.
Sable, just reveal the identity of the sniper. At least, your descendants will get to survive.â
Reginald looked bewildered as he said, âWhat sniper? I really donât know what youâre talking about!â
Finnegan frowned. âYou donât know?â
At this point, it seemed unnecessary for Reginald to pretend to be confused.
Bennett also sensed something off. âOld Mr. Sable, didnât you secretly arrange a sniper? If I could kill Finnegan, heâd kill me to silence me. If I couldnât kill Finnegan, heâd kill both Finnegan and me.â
Reginald finally caught on. âSo, there was a sniper hidden when you killed Finnegan?â
Bennett nodded. âExactly. That sniper almost killed Finnegan and even fired a shot at me.â
A lump formed in Reginaldâs throat, causing him to cough up fresh blood once again. His aged face was filled with bitterness as he said, âThe reason you repay kindness with enmity and led Finnegan along with hundreds of people to kill me is because of that sniper?â
Seeing Reginald spitting blood, Bennett felt something was terribly wrong. âOld Mr. Sable, are you saying you didnât arrange for that sniper?â
Reginald opened his mouth, but as soon as he did, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
It was evident that he was knocked out by anger.
Bennettâs eyebrows twitched. Looking at Finnegan, he asked, âCould someone have planted the sniper?
Should we stop for now?â
Taking a deep breath, Finnegan was also uncertain at this moment.
However, his killing intent remained. âHailey, gather all the Sable family members living here. Vixen, accelerate the pace to eliminate everyone and clean up the scene. Mike, get your father inside and wake him up!â
