Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 382

I didn't want to tell the young lady that I owned this apartment building. Otherwise, my failure to maintain order would reflect poorly on me, and she might even try to hold me liable.

Hence, I figured stepping in as just a passerby standing up for justice would be better. Once the matter was settled, I'd quietly withdraw.

"Justice, my foot!" One of the thugs couldn't take it anymore and rushed at me with a fist ready to strike.

Just as he was about to step forward, his neck was seized by someone.

Quintus had one hand clamped firmly around his throat and swiftly seized his left arm with the other. With a crisp snap, he dislocated the thug's arm.

The other thug was terrified and attempted to flee but was promptly kicked to the ground by Quintus.

In the blink of an eye, the two were left sprawled on the ground and barely able to move.

I stood up and smiled, saying, "I already told you. If you'd just behaved, none of this would've happened. If you act recklessly, you will get hurt. You didn't listen. Are you regretting it now?

I added, "Alright. Hurry over here and kneel. Apologize to this young lady as I told you."

Quintus kicked the two men forward as soon as I finished speaking, forcing them to stumble to their knees before me and the young lady.

She glanced at them in confusion and then looked up at me. "A-Are you serious?"

I shrugged, smiling wryly. "What more do I need to do to convince you?"

"I-I don't mean to doubt you. It's just that..." She gulped nervously, unable to finish her sentence.
