Chapter 116 Asking A Favor
That was an outcome that no one expected.
“What are you doing. Mr. Haimowitz?” Derrick shouted in confusion after snapping out of his dazed state.
“I don’t need to explain myself to you,” Zephyr replied while kicking Derrick down to the floor.
Michelle was so frightened that she shrunk back into a corner of the room.
“My father is Robert Weller, Mr. Haimowitz! Do you even realize the consequences of your actions?” Derrick exclaimed angrily while rubbing his tummy.
“Consequences? It’s funny that you’re talking to me about consequences after p*ssing Mr. Larkin off! Do you really think I’d be afraid of you? Also, don’t even try to threaten me with your father, or I’ll pull some strings to launch an investigation on him and get him jailed!” Zephyr retorted with a sneer.
Given the Haimowitz family’s status and power, doing something like that would indeed be a piece of cake.
Derrick’s face fell, and he didn’t dare say another word.
With a smile, Zephyr walked up to Finnegan again and asked, “Well? Are you satisfied, Mr. Larkin?”
Cracking his neck, Finnegan stood up and glanced at Todd and Andrew as he asked, “So, you two said you were going to teach me a lesson earlier, didn’t you?”
“Answer the question!” Zephyr shouted at them.
Unlike Tyrone, Todd and Andrew didn’t dare offend Zephyr.
“This is all a misunderstanding, Mr. Haimowitz. Derrick is the one at fault here,” Finnegan said when he saw them chickening out.
“I want you guys to keep a close eye on Derrick and Michelle. Either they kneel for three days, or you guys will!”
“Who do you think you are, Finnegan? You really think Mr. Haimowitz can protect you forever?” Derrick protested.
Huh… Is that a threat I hear?
If there was one thing Finnegan hated most, it was being threatened.
“I’m nothing impressive, but I do have you at my mercy right now, and I could have Mr. Haimowitz get rid of your father through his connections. That’s good enough for me. So, will you kneel?”
The look on Derrick’s face changed when he heard that.
Eventually, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and frustration. “I’ll kneel!”
I’ll cut my losses and get my revenge on Finnegan some other time!
Finnegan wasn’t all that concerned about Derrick coming back for revenge, though. He stood up and patted Casper on the shoulder as he said, “Let’s go. There’s nothing here worthy of your time and energy anymore.”

Having snapped out of her dazed state, Michelle cried out, “Casper! Casper!”
However, Casper was so disappointed in her that he followed Finnegan out of there without even looking
back.
“You guys heard what Mr. Larkin said! Either make sure these two kneel for three days, or I’ll have you guys kneel for three days!” Zephyr told Todd and Andrew. Then, he slapped Michelle before storming off.
“Mr. Mackle, Mr. Coleman, are we just going to let this slide?” Derrick asked.
While he couldn’t afford to offend Zephyr by going after Finnegan, Todd and Andrew could.
Todd and Andrew exchanged glances before the latter said, “The Haimowitz family is able to
communicate with Mr. Calandrino directly. It’s best not to let Mr. Calandrino find out about something as trivial as this, so you’ll just have to endure for three days!”
Derrick felt all the more frustrated when he heard that.
“Just you wait, Finnegan!”
Meanwhile, Zephyr ran up to a custom Bentley with a license plate number of five sixes and opened the car door.
“Is this the car Old Mr. Haimowitz wants to give me?” Finnegan asked.
“Yes, that’s right! This is the car that my grandpa would like to give you, Mr. Larkin! The transfer procedures have all been taken care of. Please don’t tell my grandpa that I’ve been driving it throughout the past few days!” Zephyr replied with a nod.
Isn’t this car a little too high-profile?
With that in mind, Finnegan dragged Casper to the side and said, “You can drive this car for the time being. I’ll give you a call if I need it.”
“Take care, Mr. Larkin!”
Zephyr waited until the two had disappeared from sight before scratching his head in confusion and mumbling to himself, “And here I thought he’d turn out to be some big, strong man. He looks even younger than I am! Is he really as powerful as Grandpa claims?”
The b*dyguard next to him leaned in close and whispered, “Old Mr. Haimowitz has never been wrong when it comes to such things. Please do not doubt his judgment, or things could end very badly.”
Zephyr shuddered at the mere thought of Winston’s temper.
“In that case, I won’t interfere any further. We must tell Grandpa that I helped Mr. Larkin out today, though. Who knows? He might just increase my allowance by a few thousand!”
Finnegan brought Casper to a restaurant as they hadn’t had lunch yet.
“How did you become acquainted with the Haimowitz family, Finnegan? Mr. Haimowitz was behaving so respectfully toward you!” Casper asked curiously while waiting for the food to be served.
“I picked up some medical knowledge throughout the past few years, and I happened to save Old Mr. Haimowitz’s life one day. As such, the Haimowitz family owes me a huge favor,” Finnegan replied.

Casper nodded in response. “Oh, I see. Just how skilled are you in medicine now? My mom says you’re almost done treating your father’s legs!”
“It’s all right, I guess,” Finnegan said with a smile.
“Could I ask you for a favor, then, Finnegan?”
Finnegan eyed Casper from head to toe as he answered, “You seem pretty healthy to me, though. I don’t think you need any kind of treatment at all.”
