Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 278

It was better to resolve the situation with Maximus quickly.

Seeing that he wasn't responding to threats or persuasion, I decided not to waste any more time. I stood up and said, "Lexi won't accompany you, so don't waste your breath. Just get out."

Maximus' expression changed, and he finally shifted his cold gaze from Lynn to me. "Brat, who are you telling to leave?"

I replied coldly, "You."

"You're telling me to get out? You're really a young fool with no fear. Do you know who I am? The last person who told me this ended up in the hospital!"

He was probably talking about the student who had taken a beating for me.

I had already paid his medical bills and compensation, and he and his family were satisfied with the settlement. They even told me that they would happily step in and take the blows for me if anything similar happened again.

But I still felt guilty inside.

After that incident, I planned to find a chance to deal with Maximus. However, this wasn't the right moment.

"If you two don't leave, I'll have no choice but to call the police and report you for harassment and trespassing."

Maximus sneered. "Call the police? Do you really think I'll give you a chance? Mark!"

He turned to give the fighter behind him a look, and the big man immediately walked over and grabbed my arms, shoving me down onto the table.

I was stunned. I had already guessed that the fighter wasn't a regular person and knew I couldn't win in a fight. But I hadn't expected him to be this strong.

I couldn't take it anymore. I kicked Mark in the knee as hard as I could, and while he was distracted, I grabbed an ashtray from the table and ran over to Maximus, smashing it down on his head without hesitation.

There was a loud crash, and he almost collapsed from the blow. He swayed for a while but managed to stay on his feet.

Clutching his head, he glared at me with fierce eyes. "How dare you hit me! You're asking for it! Mark, grab him! I'm going to ruin him today!"

There were only two of them. If I could hold them off, they wouldn't have time to deal with Lynn. So, I immediately turned to her and said, "You need to leave now and call the police!"

That was the best course of action.

But to my surprise, Lynn shouted, "No! I'm not leaving!"
