The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Of Course I Knew

“Here’s what we know about Finnegan, Mr. Royle. There is a slight problem.”

At dusk, a bodyguard of the Royle family arrived at the ward and handed Vilmar two sheets of the investigative report.

Ariendel and Matthias who was feeling better hurried over.

“What’s problematic about that kid?” Matthias scoffed. “He looks like a nobody.”

After signaling for the group to be quiet, Vilmar took the documents and perused them.

He furrowed his brows. “I didn’t expect this fellow to be so well-connected”

“Well-connected? Where is he from?” Ariendel asked.

Vilmar handed the documents to her. “He comes from an ordinary family, but his medical skills seem impressive. He treated Gilbert Miles. Winston Haimowitz, and even Old Mr. Langdon. Three families owe him. For that reason, Gilbert let him occupy Dragon Bay. The Haimowitz family arranged for his sister to be employed in Pentariver Group as Wynter’s secretary. And Bernice Zimmerman, the most beautiful out of the Four Beauties of Jadeborough, is his girlfriend. He has useful connections.”

Ariendel scoffed after perusing them. “Meteoric rises exist, I see. However, it’s still an indication of the Chomsky family’s incompetence. Otherwise, Finnegan would have been finished five years ago.”

The report documented not only Finnegan’s ordeal over that period but also his encounter with Killian five years prior.

Matthias took the documents.

After taking a glance, he said contemptuously, “Though his meteoric rise is commendable, it’s a shame that he ended up crossing paths with you, Mr. Vilmar. Even the Langdon family can’t protect him. How could the Haimowitz and Miles families of Jadeborough? Based on this report, however, this fellow is most likely Ms. Langdon’s shield. How dare he-”

Halfway through his tirade, he fell abruptly silent at the sight of Vilmar’s scowl.

Vilmar would not want to be reminded of Finnegan kissing and holding Mandy the night before.

Ariendel changed the subject tactfully. “Now that we have found out about Finnegan, Mr. Vilmar, what should we do next? Shall we have a bodyguard apprehend him?”

The rest nodded in agreement.

Two dozen of them, whom Finnegan had humiliated, could barely wait to exact vengeance.

Vilmar narrowed his eyes. “I heard your uncle’s family works for Mr. Calandrino, Matthias?”

Matthias nodded. “That’s right. It is my uncle who runs Mackle Group for Mr. Calandrino. He is, to say least, one of Mr. Calandrino’s confidants.”

Vilmar sneered. “Though I am not afraid of the Haimowitz and Miles families, or even the Langdon family. I wouldn’t want to start a fight with them over Finnegan. I’ll leave the matter of teaching him a lesson to you.

Matthias patted his chest. “Don’t worry. I’ll call my cousin afterward and ask for his help. We shall not show Finnegan a shred of mercy.”

“Go,” Vilmar said with satisfaction. “Get this done, and I’ll bring you to the match between the Wahlstrom family and the Zymons family tomorrow and introduce you to some friends from Durbaine.”

“Thank you very much, Mr. Vilmar. I will have Finnegan beg for mercy on his knees.”

Matthias was delighted. He had a vague idea of the type of friends from Durbaine Vilmar wanted him to be acquainted with.

Unbeknownst to them, the information they had uncovered regarding Finnegan had been altered at Jeremy’s personal behest.

Even his friendship with the Wahlstrom family had been kept hidden.

Finnegan remained unaware that Vilmar had him investigated and was, at that moment, even concocting a plan to seek revenge.

Having bought some fruits and supplements, he arrived at the residential area where Josephine’s rented

house was.

Jenna and Casper were staying at Josephine’s as the old house had been demolished.

“I thought you were only here for dinner,” Casper greeted him with a smile after opening the door and beckoning him in.
