A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana)

Chapter 133 Beat Him Up Twice

At the sight of the police cars, Solomon immediately assumed that Finnegan had called the police.

Finnegan had intended to offer an explanation, but he quickly closed his mouth upon reflection.

Solomon was undoubtedly convinced that Finnegan had alerted the police, rendering any explanation futile.

The Zymons family’s elites panicked upon seeing the police cars.

Darkness had existed since ancient times, yet it had never dared to confront the light.

They tossed their batons and machetes while gathering in a circle.

The convoy of police cars came to a halt, and more than two hundred armed police officers swiftly got out, forming

a perimeter around the vicinity.

“Captain Quickwood!” A few police officers ran over to Romona.

Solomon’s expression changed. “Captain of the police department?”

Despite the public setting, Romona didn’t restrain herself. She delivered a forceful kick to Solomon’s abdomen and

commanded, “Bring everyone back. No one can be bailed out. Put those who instigate any disturbance straight in

jail!”

The police officers swarmed forward, and the Zymons family’s elites dared not put up a fight.

Solomon’s wrists were secured in handcuffs, and he no longer exuded the air of an arrogant scion of the Zymons

family.

Before leaving, he glared at Finnegan. “How dare you subject me to this humiliation? Just you wait. You’ve

successfully ignited my wrath!”

Romona stepped forward and gave him a tight slap.

“How dare you threaten someone right in front of me? Bring him back and give him a beating. I’ll bear the

responsibility.”

Romona kicked Solomon, silencing his upcoming insults. “Take him back, and beat him up twice!”

Soon, Solomon and approximately eighty members of the Zymons family’s elite were escorted away, allowing the

street to return to its state of tranquility.

Finnegan acted like an outsider and stretched himself. “It feels good to be protected. Casper, close the door. Let’s

go home.”

Romona didn’t leave with the others and grabbed Finnegan, insisting, “Come with me tonight!”

Despite the malice in her expression, she didn’t come across as intimidating. Instead, her good looks evoked a

sense of possessiveness.

Casper cleared his throat. “Well, you guys can talk. I’m gonna go.”

He hurriedly left the scene as if afraid of being detained if he didn’t make a swift exit.

Feeling exasperated, Finnegan pushed Romona’s hand away. “Captain Quickwood, I know I’m a charmin man, but

please stop bothering me. Solomon insulted you tonight, so I suggest you return and do whatever you can to make

him and the Zymons family pay.”

Romona snorted. “Keep dreaming! I’m aware of your intention to assist the Wahlstrom family in escapin trouble,

but it’s futile. There are certain unwritten rules even I must adhere to unless Solomon’s actions have a detrimental

impact on society.”

Finnegan frowned. “Can I take it that Solomon will be released soon?”

He didn’t want Solomon to get released that soon.

Romona responded, “Sure, he had a lot of his cronies with him tonight, but did they cause you any harm Someone

of his status can easily secure his release. At most, he might spend a week behind bars.”

That makes sense.

Finnegan sighed inwardly. “It looks like I’ll have to come up with a solution myself to permanently resolv this issue.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Come home with me!”

“F*ck! What do you want? I’m not a loose man.”

“Then take me for a loose woman!”

When Finnegan was pestered by Romona, Liam returned home to receive Axel’s

report.

After listening to the details, Liam let out a derisive snort. “As I suspected, Finnegan doesn’t have strong

connections with the Miles family or the Haimowitz family. He had to rely on the police department for help.”

Axel asked, “Mr. Sable, are we not doing anything?”

“As I mentioned this morning, we’ll simply observe from the sidelines,” Liam replied, a wicked smile forming on his

lips. “Once Mr. Zymons realizes he’s been outsmarted, he won’t let Finnegan off the hook easily. He’ll take care of

the matter for me. There is no need for me to do anything that might upset Bernie.”

Axel nodded. “Got it!”

At a two-and-a-half-story villa with a courtyard, Finnegan was engaged in an argument with Romona.

“Captain Quickwood, I assure you, I’m not a loose man, so don’t mess around. Besides, you come from the

esteemed Quickwood family, while I’m just an ordinary citizen. Don’t degrade yourself. Let me go. I am unworthy of

your attention,” Finnegan insisted with a terrified expression as he was dragged all the way to Romona’s house.

He acted as though she was going to bully him soon.

“Finnegan, why are you treating me like this? Have I done something to deserve it? Why do you keep rejecting

me?” Komona’s voice trembled with anger, and her eyes turned red.

She had never experienced such a profound sense of defeat before in her life.

The b*stard is too much.

“You’re a great woman, and I don’t hold any negative feelings toward you,” Finnegan responded earnestly. Seeing

that she was on the verge of tears, he hurriedly clarified, “It’s just that I have a preference for women who are

more ladylike and gentle in their demeanor.”

Romona’s anger intensified. “Are you saying I’m not ladylike and gentle?”

Finnegan tactfully shut up.

You may be a woman, but you have a boyish demeanor!

As Finnegan didn’t respond, Romona harrumphed, “Don’t move. Otherwise, even if you go home, I’ll barge into

your house and get you back.”

After that, Romona marched into her room and slammed the door shut.

Finnegan flashed a helpless smile. “She’s really fierce!”

He could have left and returned home, but he hesitated due to Romona’s fiery temper.

He couldn’t dismiss her claims that she might come looking for him in Dragon Bay.

What does she have in mind?

Over ten minutes later, Finnegan grew impatient.

Abruptly, the lights in the living room flickered, casting a warm, subdued orange glow that gradually dimmed the

room.

The speaker hidden somewhere began to play soft and melodious music.

Finnegan felt that something terrifying was about to happen, so he quickly sat up.

Ten seconds later, the door to the bedroom opened.

Finnegan saw a leg clad in black stocking stretch out.

His eyes widened incredulously, and his jaw dropped.

What the f*ck? Don’t tell me she’s honoring the bet?

As that possibility occurred to Finnegan, Romona walked out of the bedroom, her cheeks as red as an apple.

She began swaying along to the music.

Finnegan gulped, his mind going blank.

Romona stood before him, clad in nothing but black stockings and a red tulle that covered her undergarments.

It was a shocking sight to see her twist her body in front of him.

Finnegan was still in a daze after the music came to an end.

Since her youth, Romona had received ample training in dancing, making it an easy task for her.

Romona’s mood lifted when she saw Finnegan’s dazed expression and the faint blush on the tips of his

ears.

“See that? Do you still think I’m not ladylike and elegant? Will you insult me again?”

Suddenly, Finnegan got up and rushed to the bathroom. “I need to use your bathroom!”
