Billy stood up and walked towards the door as he spoke.
Harleen followed closely behind him. After spending time with Billy, she had become immune to situations like this. He had easily resolved many crises before, so she wasn't worried about this small matter. That was why she warned the other person that they would be responsible for their actions if they didn't leave.
"Hmm?" The tall man furrowed his brow and looked at Billy. "What did you say? I didn't hear you. Say it again?"
"I'll give you five minutes to go back and tell the person who knocked down Hannah Hill to come apologize, or else I'll break whichever hand he used." Billy calmly stated as he approached them.
"Oh! You talk big!" The tall man sneered. "Do you think we're acting?"
After speaking, his tone became serious, "I'm going to touch her now, let's see how you stop me from using this hand!"
As he finished speaking, he reached out towards Ava Jones' face.
Snap!
His hand only reached halfway when a sharp pain shot through his wrist accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.
"Ah..." A pig-like scream echoed throughout the room as he fell to his knees with his right palm hanging limply by his side.
The room was filled with gasps of shock as no one expected Harleen's husband - who looked gentle and refined - to act so decisively. Moreover, his strength was too great; just a casual grip broke bones!
"Hey, how dare you disable his hand?!" The short man pointed at Billy and threatened, "You wait and see. I won't let this go..."
Snap!
Before he could finish his sentence, Billy grabbed his finger and twisted it hard, causing a loud crack.
"Ahh!"
The short man screamed in agony as the pain shot through all ten fingers.
"Go back and ask him to apologize to us, right now," Billy ordered. "Tell him he has five minutes to show up or I'll come find him myself."
"You... you just wait! You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into. You'll regret this!" The short man gritted his teeth as he helped the tall man up and walked towards the door.
"Mr Gardner is so amazing! I'm so impressed with him!" Ava Jones shouted loudly after they left.
"Ava Jones, are you trying to stir up trouble?" One of her colleagues glared at her disapprovingly.
"I'm serious! Mr Gardner just casually used some force and disabled that guy's hand!" Ava responded loudly.
"Thank you for your help, Ms Knight and Mr Gardner," Hannah Hill said gratefully as she looked at them both.
"It's okay," Harleen replied with a smile before turning to Billy. "Billy, those two didn't seem like ordinary people. Could there be trouble?"
"Don't worry about it, everything will be fine." Billy gave her a reassuring look before there was a loud crash sound in the background...
The other party arrived quickly, in less than five minutes, they kicked open the door to the private room again and a group of people walked in. At the forefront was a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in designer clothes with an air of nobility about him. He looked like he was from a prominent family. Next to him was a man in his thirties with an unfriendly face and sharp eyes. There was a faint martial arts aura emanating from him. The two young men who had come before followed closely behind them, and then there were around six black-clad followers.
