The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 53

Upon seeing that Josephine was about to finish her performance, Finnegan spoke to a nearby waitress. “Hey, gorgeous. Can you help me invite that pole dancer over once she's done?”

The waitress turned to him with a strange look. “Are you sure, handsome?” I've never seen anyone asking for another woman to join them while already having a beauty sitting beside them.

“Just send her here once she's done.” He was too lazy to explain the situation.

Seeing that he wasn't joking, the waitress bent down and whispered next to his ear. “If you want Phinny to spend time with you, it'll cost you one thousand and two hundred, handsome. Furthermore, she's quite popular, so she can only keep you company for half an hour. If you want to bring her out or do something similar, it may cost you a hundred thousand.”

I didn't expect that she also drinks with the patrons. Finnegan's expression darkened as he handed the fee to the waitress. “Just bring her here.”

“Very well. Please wait for a moment.”

Upon noticing his sullen expression, Bernice held his hand. “Maybe the situation's not what you think?”

The waitress arrived on the left side of the stage and waited for Josephine to descend before smiling at the latter. “Phinny, the customer at table seventy-eight is asking you to drink with them. Here's the fee.”

Calmly, Josephine accepted the money. “I'll change my clothes before joining them.”

Just as she was heading backstage to do that, someone called out to her.

“Phinny!” A young man with dreadlocks approached her with a grin. “I thought you'd decided to stop dancing at Ark after you were absent for two weeks. How about you drink with me tonight?”

Josephine's expression shifted. He was the reason she didn't come for two weeks.

However, because of his identity, she had to squeeze a smile at him. “I'm sorry, but someone else has already asked me to drink with them. Next time, perhaps.”

In response, he blocked her path. “Come on, Phinny. Don't refuse me when I'm asking nicely. Why do you always tell me you'll only keep me company next time? You don't say that to anyone else. It's been two weeks since we last met. Can't you show me some respect? You know what? I'll have you spend the whole night with me, and I'll double the compensation for whoever asked for you.”

Then he tried to grab her, denying her a chance to refuse.

Josephine frowned. I shouldn't have come tonight.

“Say goodbye to your hand if you keep touching her.” It was then Finnegan approached the two with a frigid expression. Bernice followed behind resignedly.

Even though she had reminded him the bar belonged to Tyrone, the head of Jadeborough's underworld, and that he should let her ask someone else to solve the issue, he refused to listen.

“D*mn it! I can't believe someone has the balls to threaten me in Ark. Who do you think—” When the young man turned around, he saw Bernice and blurted, “Oh, my. This chick's even prettier!”

He ignored Finnegan's presence and studied her lustfully. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. I've never had fun with such a fine woman before. Hey, beautiful. How about you keep me company for the night? I'm very capable.”

As Bernice had never been treated like that before, she barked at him while blushing. “How shameless!”

Josephine paled when she recognized the couple. “Ms. Zimmerman! Finny?”

The young man was surprised. “You know them?”

Then he laughed. “That's even better! I want you and your gorgeous friend over here to service me tonight. Don't worry. I've plenty of cash to spare. I'm definitely going to—”

Bam!

Initially, Finnegan didn't want to act violently. However, the young man just had to ignore him and say those things. Thus, he kicked the young man, sending the latter flying away.

The young man zipped across the air and crashed into a glass table, smashing it into smithereens.
