Chapter 248
“Whoa, feisty! I like you!” The punk didn’t learn his lesson and was still trying to mess with Astrid.
In a split second, Astrid grabbed his wrist and delivered a swift kick to his groin, “Are you deaf? I’ve told you guys to keep it down. But you didn’t listen, did you want me to get physical?”
“I like a girl with spirit!” The punk laughed, “Boys, grab her!”
As soon as he finished his sentence, a group of men rushed out of the room.
Astrid was ready to fight, but at that moment, doors from the other rooms opened. Lamont and a group of bodyguards rushed out and quickly beat down the gangsters,
The guys looked at the bodyguards with fear written all over their faces, “We’re sorry! we’re sorry…”
“I’ll turn off the music right now. I promise I won’t make any more noise.”
The punk scrambled back into his room to turn off the music, tiptoeing as if afraid of making any noise.
Astrid knew her brother had arranged for bodyguards to be around her, but she didn’t expect this many, “Are all the people on this floor, besides these punks, your guys?”
“No.” Lamont shook his head, pointing to a closed door, “The landlord lives there. This whole building belongs to him.”
Owning a building in the luxury business district meant he must be loaded.
Wait, maybe he was old money.
“You guys get some rest. I’m going to bed.” Astrid yawned, pressed the elevator button, and then heard a loud noise from afar.
Everyone looked towards the landlord’s door.
Then a strange smell came wafting out.
It smelled like something had been burned.
Seeing this, Lamont quickly knocked on the door, “Is anyone in there? Hello?”
