Chapter 279 Another Mastermind
Awhile later, the fight in the Sable family’s garden ended, with the Sable family’s bodyguards and elites
completely wiped out.
The elite forces of the Wahlstrom family were swiftly cleaning up the scene.
Hailey also took people to capture over a dozen collateral descendants of the Sable family living here,
and they kneeled in the garden facing the mansion.
In the hall. Finnegan had a serious expression, leaving others unaware of his thoughts.
Reginald, who had just passed out, was shaken awake by Mike but wore a despondent expression.
“Ah, the predator becomes the prey!”
Bennett glanced at Finnegan.
As Finnegan was silent, he spoke. “Old Mr. Sable, is it true that the sniper tonight has nothing to do
with you?”
Reginald forced a bitter smile. “This evening, my only request was for you to eliminate Finnegan. I had
no dealings with anyone else, let alone orchestrating a sniper. I solemnly swear, the Sable family is
condemned to never rise again, with future generations of males enslaved and females consigned to
lives as prostitutes!”
Reginald’s generation appeared to be deeply superstitious.
The fact that he could utter such a venomous oath without hesitation indicated the sincerity of his
words. He was certainly not lying.
Bennett clenched his teeth, looking down in guilt, “Old Mr. Sable, I’m sorry!”
He volunteered to attack the Sable family’s front line not only to do something to avoid being pursued
by Finnegan but also because the shot fired relieved him of any pressure.
But now, since the sniper was unrelated to Reginald, his actions would be ungrateful and treacherous.
Reginald smiled bitterly. “Is an apology useful? All the trump cards of my Sable family have been ruined
by you!”
Hearing that, Bennett felt even more guilty when he looked at Finnegan. H
“Finnegan, do you feel like a fool now, having become a pawn in someone else’s game?”
Mike also gained some confidence and shouted at Finnegan, “So, our family is being made to take the
blame for someone else. Finnegan, just wait. After this, we’ll go to Old Mr. Wright and complain. I
believe once Old Mr. Wright knows that the sniper has nothing to do with us, he will ensure justice for
us! At that time, you’ll be in trouble!”
Finnegan, who hadn’t spoken since entering the hall, lifted his gaze. “Disable his hands!”
Doom Star grabbed Mike’s left hand and twisted it without hesitation.
Following the crack, Mike angrily howled, “Finnegan, you already know that the sniper is not… Ah!”
Before he could finish speaking, his right hand was broken by Doom Star.
Mike fell to the ground, writhing in pain and crying out.
Reginald sneered, “Finnegan, are you getting angry out of embarrassment?”
“A bit,” Finnegan responded indifferently. “But it’s just a bit. You also wanted to kill me, right? It’s just
that the person you hired was exposed by me in advance.”
“Isn’t it true that your Sable family also wanted to kill me? It’s just that the person you hired was
exposed by me in advance. So why is the foolish Mike saying the Sable family is taking the blame for
someone else?”
Reginald’s face stiffened. “Finnegan, you know well that the sniper has nothing to do with our Sable
family. Aren’t you planning to stop?”
Stop?
Finnegan flashed a cold grin. “You have the intent to kill me and even acted on it. Do you think should
stop? If you were in my shoes tonight, would you back down?”
Reginald opened his mouth to say he would, but when the words reached his lips, he didn’t have the
confidence to say them out loud.
He knew that if he put himself in Finnegan’s shoes tonight, he might act even more ruthlessly and
decisively than Finnegan himself.
Seeing him speechless, Finnegan waved his right hand. “Then you all can go to hell!”
Reginald roared in grief and anger, “Finnegan, do you really want to eradicate my family?”
Hearing Finnegan’s intention to kill everyone, Mike ignored his pain and pleaded, “Finnegan, I
misspoke earlier, please spare us. The mastermind who sent the sniper is the one who truly deserves
to die!”
“Finnegan!”
After a moment of hesitation, Bennett knelt in front of Finnegan. “I’ve never begged anyone in my life.
But today, I implore you to spare the Sable family once. Their sins are not deserving of death.”
Knowing that the sniper was not arranged by Reginald, he felt nothing but guilt toward Reginald and his
family at this moment.
If he were to watch Finnegan wipe out the entire Sable family, he would be plagued with guilt for the
rest of his life.
He would forever feel like an ungrateful scoundrel, returning kindness with ingratitude.
Finnegan narrowed his gaze. “Bennett, although I didn’t take offense at what you did, can you deny
harboring thoughts of killing me? Do you think you’re in a position to plead on behalf of the Sable
family?”
Bennett straightened up. “I know that you sparing my life is already a grace. I have no right to plead for
III
the Sable family. But I owe Old Mr. Sable a life-saving favor, and as the vanguard who infiltrated the
Sable family, I want to make amends!”
As he spoke, he banged his head against the ground repeatedly, devoid of the dignity as a Terra Realm
Grandmaster.
Finnegan furrowed his brows, seemingly deep in thought.
Alisha left some people to follow Hailey’s arrangements, then quickly caught up.
As Bennett turned around, he faced the dejected and desperate Reginald and banged his head against
the ground three times. “Twelve years ago, you saved my life, and twelve years later, I obtained a
chance for the Sable family to survive. We’re even now. Old Mr. Sable, take care!”
Standing up, Bennett left without looking back.
Reginald lifted his head in pain, his empty eyes staring at the still uncleaned blood and brutality
outside, “Is the Sable family like a lamb to the slaughter?”
Inside the departing car were Finnegan, Doom Star, and the driver, Alisha.
Through the rearview mirror, Alisha observed Finnegan and asked, “After confirming that the sniper This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
was sent by someone else, did you dispel the intent to exterminate them? Was everything done
afterward to help Mr. Sanchez resolve his issues?”
“Yes and no.”
Alisha inquired further, “What does that mean?” New chąpter avąilable oո Draмаnоvеls.cоm
Finnegan replied, “I did have the intention to help Mr. Sanchez resolve his issues. When he learned
that the sniper had no connection to Reginald, his emotions were in turmoil. So, I deliberately
reinforced my intent to kill, waiting for him to step forward and plead for the Sable family. This way, he
won’t carry guilt or shame for the rest of his life. But I also have my own considerations.”
Wiping out the Sable family was straightforward. It would only take one order for him to do that.
However, now that the sniper wasn’t arranged by Reginald, annihilating the Sable family held less
significance. It would only make those who maliciously framed the Sable family secretly mock his
foolishness, and it would also complicate matters for the Wright family.
Coupled with Bennett’s presence, Finnegan temporarily suppressed the intent to kill.
Alisha teased, “Does that mean, no matter what conditions the Sable family offers for survival, you’ll
accept them? Were your previous words just a way to save face?”

Finnegan sneered, “Who said that? If the conditions they offer aren’t enough and can’t put my mind at
ease, they’ll still not live past tomorrow!”
“You… You really are a devil!”
