A Healer’s Journey (Finnegan and Nuthana) Novel novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167 The Double Standards 

Romona retorted without hesitation, “So, does growing up together mean I have to stoop to your level? And since when did we become one of our own?” 

It was clear that Yasmine’s personality couldn’t compare to Romona’s. 

Turning to Finnegan, Romona commanded, “I don’t know what you’ve done, but now let Little Tyrant speak.” 

Her words sounded like a command. 

Finnegan looked Yasmine up and down. “You’re on par with my wife, not bad! What a shame, though. Appearances can indeed be deceiving!” 

Allowing Yuvan to escape without questioning right or wrong was one thing, but asking for help while maintaining an air of superiority was another. 

Even if a woman were as beautiful as a fairy, Finnegan would not indulge her. 

Bradley cautiously said, “Captain Quickwood, we’ll be taking our leave first!” 

Just then, Yuvan pushed Brutus away with one hand. 

Taking advantage of Romona’s distraction, he swiftly snatched the gun from her waist. 

Romona’s expression slightly changed. “Yuvan!” 

Yasmine’s expression also changed. “Yuvan!” 

Clearly, Yuvan was not listening to anyone. He ran up to Finnegan and Doom Star, gun in hand, and. pointed it directly at Finnegan. 

His youthful features were filled with ferocity.. 

As his mouth continued to open and close, he was clearly spewing threats. 

However, he was still unable to make any sound. 

Romona demanded, “Yuvan, give me back my gun!” 

Brutus frowned but did not obstruct, even signaling Yasmine and Catherine to stay silent. 

Yuvan pointed to his own mouth and then at Finnegan, making it clear that if Finnegan didn’t allow him to speak, he would shoot Finnegan down. 

“Ferocity at such a young age.” 

Finnegan narrowed his eyes, turning back to look at Brutus. “Is this the privilege of Durbaine? Can ordinary people be oppressed at will?” 

Furrowing her brows, Yasmine still chose to speak up. “Yuvan, put down the gun.” 

1/4 

Despite that. Yuvan didn’t back down. Instead, he stepped forward, pointing directly at Finnegan’s head with a fierce look in his eyes. 

Romona was trembling with anger. “Yuvan, if you don’t put down the gun, you’ll have to face the consequences!” 

She somewhat understood Finnegan’s character. 

If this were to anger him, Yuvan would be in trouble, regardless of his status, 

Finnegan narrowed his eyes and asked, “Can the three of you stop him?” 

Brutus spread his hands and said, “Little Tyrant is a bit stubborn. I’m helpless here. You should let him speak for himself.” 

Catherine said scornfully, “If you’re scared of dying, then hurry up. Stop dragging it out.” 

Only Yasmine frowned in silence. She was somewhat conflicted. 

Finnegan nodded lightly. “It seems you can’t stop him. In that case… I have no choice but to defend myself!” 

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone realized something was wrong. 

Brutus warned, “Little Tyrant, move away quickly.” 

However, it was too late! 

Suddenly, Finnegan’s left hand seized Little Tyrant’s hand that was grabbing the gun while his right hand clutched Little Tyrant’s neck. In an instant, he had complete control over Little Tyrant’s freedom. 

“Finnegan, let go of Little Tyrant,” Brutus said, stepping forward with a gloomy expression. “He is―” 

Finnegan interrupted him, “When he was pointing a gun at me, you kept silent. Now that I’m exercising my right to self-defense, you suddenly have something to say. Is your double standard that blatant?” 

With a firm grip, he directly lifted Yuvan up. 

The latter’s face turned red, his legs flailing in mid-air. 

Brutus drew his gun directly. “No more nonsense. Let him go!” 

Yasmine said, “He’s just a child. Why take it so seriously? Let him go. I assure you a safe departure.” 

“Haha!” 

Watching one of them defend with a gun and the other with words, Finnegan couldn’t help but reveal a mocking smile. “Indeed, double standards are everywhere, and you high and mighty folks are especially adept at playing this game.” 

Pausing, the smile on his face faded. “But unfortunately, you don’t have the right to be hypocritical in front of me!” 

As he bent his knee, he slammed it into Yuvan’s belly with force. 

2/4 

Yuvan’s eyes bulged out, yet he couldn’t make a single sound. 

Following that, Finnegan tossed Yuvan out like trash, smashing him onto the ground. 

Only then did Brutus react, angrily saying, “D*mn you!” 

He seemed ready to pull the trigger. 

Just as he was about to make a move, Doom Star had somehow already positioned himself by his side, with the saber resting against his neck. 

With the icy blade pressed tightly against the skin, Brutus halted all his movements. 

He had a feeling that if he made another move, he would be killed by a single stroke of Doom Star’s blade, even before a shot could be fired! 

Catherine’s anger was uncontrollable. “Insolence! How dare you? Do you even know who we are?” 

“Are you looking for a beating again?” Romona asked coldly, not surprised by the outcome at all. 

As Catherine’s red l*ps moved, her momentum instantly faded. 

In front of Romona, she knew her status was worthless. 

Twisting his neck, Finnegan beckoned and said, “Doom Star, let’s go!” 

Only then did Doom Star put down his saber and follow Finnegan. 

Upon seeing the situation, Bradley and Alisha immediately knew that the big shots were having a dispute. They quickly followed Finnegan and his group. 

Deep down, they couldn’t help but admire Finnegan’s courage. 

Knowing full well that the likes of Brutus had extraordinary identities, to say he’d fight them regardless was too bold! 

Brutus stared at Finnegan’s back, struggling for a moment, but ultimately gave up the idea of shooting him from behind. 

“Enough is enough. My granddad is not a fool. Don’t push it too far.” 

Romona picked up the gun, issued a warning to Brutus, and led her people away.
