The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 104

“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.

His facial expression changed drastically as he sensed imminent danger. “Be careful! There's—”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as he was about to warn his subordinates outside, incessant gunshots rang out, interrupting him.

One of the lackeys shouted anxiously, “Rocky, we're under attack!”

Rocky, disregarding his fallen subordinate, dashed outside at once, his face darkening. “F*ck! What's happening?”

Subsequently, they saw four figures dressed in black emerge. They seemed to blend seamlessly with the shadows, each wielding a pitch-black dagger, taking cover to avoid the bullets directed at them.

To Rocky's dismay, of his nine subordinates stationed outside, only five remained.

Evidently, the four black-clad assailants had silently taken them out.

However, now wasn't the time to dwell on that. Rocky quickly took out his gun and pointed the muzzle at one of the figures in black.

But before he could fire a shot, one of the black-clad people reacted swiftly, letting fly another arrow, which penetrated Rocky's wrist.

Rocky let out a muffled grunt as his gun clattered to the floor.

Nevertheless, he was an experienced fighter. The moment he dropped his gun, Rocky rolled back inside the house, narrowly evading another arrow aimed at him by the person in black.

“D*mn it! Who are these people? Could they be sent by Ms. Wahlstrom?” Gritting his teeth, Rocky pulled the arrow out from his wrist.

However, after hearing two of his subordinates' agonized screams, Rocky regained his composure. “No! These people are too formidable!” I had eleven armed men in my party, including ten subordinates and myself. Yet, right now, those four people in black have taken down more than half of us. This is more depressing than when Finnegan wreaked havoc in Ark that night. After all, we've equipped ourselves with guns! Don't tell me these people are invincible?

How could this be happening? Am I going to fail before even meeting with Finnegan? While those thoughts raced through Rocky's mind, the two people in black closed in on him.

Nevertheless, Rocky fathomed blaming Tristan was pointless at that moment as getting to safety took precedence over anything else. Taking Bernice along as a bargaining chip will only diminish my chances of escaping. Besides, I still have a good amount left from the fifty million Tyrone gave me. I can still find another way to deal with Finnegan.
