A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 104 Failure

“Rocky, it seems the Zimmerman family has called the police. I heard from some guys that they are setting up checkpoints at the airports and train stations. Should we change our location? It’ll be problematic if they discover our whereabouts.”

Rocky didn’t respond at once.

Next to Finnegan’s old residence was Josephine’s house. A hoodlum hurriedly entered the building, whose power had been cut off long ago.

Rocky emerged from the darkness. “The Zimmerman family contacting the police is within my expectation. Still, it doesn’t matter. By the time they think of looking here, we would’ve long completed our tasks. Besides, they may not even find this place!”

“Rocky, have you heard from that Mr. Chomsky?”

Rocky glanced at his watch and said, “He wants Finnegan to cure his son, so I gave him some more time. He should contact me soon.”

A menacing look flashed across his eyes as he spoke. “Once we lure Finnegan here and eliminate him, we’ll do away with his parents, then let the boys have some fun with his sister. His entire family will pay for my brother’s death!”

The lackey instantly grew visibly excited. “I’ve seen pictures of Finnegan’s sister. She’s quite pretty.”

“You’ll be able to lay your hands on her soon.” Rocky patted his subordinate’s shoulder. “But for now, we must remain vigilant. Instruct the others to shoot Finnegan on sight as soon as he shows up!”

Having witnessed Finnegan’s combat skills, Rocky knew even a dozen ordinary men wouldn’t be his match.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t mobilize more men at that moment, so he gathered ten of his most trusted subordinates and spent a hefty amount to purchase some firearms.

Rocky planned to shoot Finnegan to death with a hail of bullets the moment the latter appeared, ensuring he had no chance to retaliate.

The lackey nodded and turned around. “I’ll tell the others right away.”

Thud!

The second he spun on his heels, he abruptly froze, and a faint scent of blood permeated the air as an arrow pierced his chest.

Behind him, Rocky inquired, “Hey, why did you stop?”

The next moment, the lackey fell backward without a sound.

Rocky hastily moved forward to support his subordinate, and under the dim light filtering in from outside, he noticed the arrow sticking out from the lackey’s chest.
