A Billionaire In Disguise novel Chapter 148

For a while, it was quiet. Then Rome heard Joe say, "Okay, it's your choice. But if any damage occurs in that room, you are the one paying for it!"

Afterward, it became silent again, and after holding his tongue for a couple of seconds, K mumbled, "I guess the hard way it is."

Pretending like he didn't hear his bodyguard's words, Rome looked at Natasha and said, "You fear him. But that's not the only feeling you have for him. You also hate him."

A look of hesitation clouded Natasha's expression for a moment. Then she let out a soft breath and said, "I do fear Rookie, an…"

"I'm not talking about Rookie, but James, James Earl."

"Why won't you let this go."

"Because I hate him too, and I want to take him down before he hurts anyone else again."

A bitter laugh escaped Natasha's lips as a drop of tear rolled from the corner of her eye, and then she frowned at Rome and said, "Take him down?! Don't you know how powerful Earl is, or are you trying to play reckless with your life?!"

"I do know how powerful Earl is, and that's why I can assure you that I am one of the few men who can take him down." Rome calmly uttered.

Lowering her brows, Natasha paused as she stared intensely at the hoodie covering Rome's face, and then she boldly said, "Show me the face under the hoodie."

Because of the title Rome held, he has been trying to avoid false rumors about him from getting on the media.

But now that it was just Natasha and his men in the room, he decided that he was safe to show his face.

So he reached for the hoodie, and as he was about to pull it back, they all heard a loud, "Bang!!"

Then another harsh noise echoed from the door like someone was slamming into it.

"Open the door," Rome commanded.

"No!" Natasha abruptly shouted.

Seeing that she was trembling, Rome slightly frowned and then said, "I promise that you will be fine. He's not taking you out of here."

Something about the way he said those words left Natasha feeling a bit better, and she took comfort in his promise.

When another loud "Bang!" echoed into the room, Scar sighed as he stood to his feet. Then he walked over to the door, and the moment he opened it, a robust guy suddenly ran straight into the room, slammed into the wall, and dropped to the floor.

Then a hunk with side-shaved long hair and piercings on his face walked into the room with about nine guys behind him.

"Who's the Wanker that is drunk enough to choose to get his ass whoop by me!" Rookie said, looking directly at Rome.

Narrowing his eyes, Rome slightly raised his hand and said, "I am the stupid person you are looking for."

"You have gut, fool, and for that, I will give you a minute to piss off from here." Rookie coldly uttered.

Then he looked at Natasha and harshly said, "What are you doing standing still. Get yourself over here!!"

When she didn't react and stared at Rome, it annoyed him even further, and he shouted, "Move your ass over here now!"

"Didn't your mama give you the basics of how to treat a lady, or you were just too dumb to learn!" Rome casually uttered, standing to his feet.

Knowing that what was about to happen was unavoidable, K stood up, and Scar immediately understood what that meant.

"My mama didn't get the chance because she died after giving birth to me." Rookie sadly said.

Immediately, the room fell silent, and Rome's expression softened when he felt an ache in his chest as a memory of his mother crossed his mind.

"Hahahaha! You stupid idiot. Look at your dumb faces!!" Rookie loudly said in a mocking tone. "That old witch is alive, but I wish that it was what had happened to her because she's a pain in my ass! Talking about how I'm just like my father and I need to be a better man!"

Then he looked back at his men, and when they saw the coldness in his gaze, they started laughing too.

Tightening his fist, Rome frowned and coldly uttered, "You better get your sick self out of here before I make you leave the hard way!"

"Make me! I want to see you try!" Rookie said with a mocking smile on his lips.

When Rome didn't react, he took a few steps towards him, leaned closer to his face, and whispered, "Shoot your shot, you son of a bitch!"

Raw anger was all Rome felt when he heard those words, and he turned around, taking a step away from Rookie as a bitter chuckle escaped his lip.

Then he suddenly turned around, swinging a punch at Rookie, and even though, Rookie saw it coming, he didn't have the time to react, and the blow viciously banged into his cheekbone.

Screwing his face into a frown, Rookie sput his bloody saliva on the floor and then glared at Rome, smirking as he ignored the pain in his jaw.

It took a split second for chaos to rain in the room, and for everyone to start attacking each other.

It was three to ten. But even with such an odd number, Rookie and his men found themselves at a disadvantage.

With fear in her eyes, Natasha watched K lock his arm around one of the men's necks before forcefully stepping the other guy in his stomach, and when the guy fell to the floor, K ran the first man towards the wall and slammed him into it.

Staring wide-eyed at them, Natasha held in her breath when her gaze swayed towards Scar, and she saw him hook-kicked a guy in his chin before rushing for the next fellow.

When Rookie got his fourth punch to the jaw from Rome, he knew that he wasn't going to win this fight, and just the thought of that fueled him with rage.

Feeding off that rage, he threw a punch towards Rome, and when Rome was about to block, he switched hands and swung his fist, striking Rome against his ear.

A whining noise buzzed in Rome's ear for a moment, and then blood began to roll down from his ear as a very agonizing pain ran through his head.

When Rome realized that he was bleeding from his ear, he lost it, grabbed Rookie by his neck, dragged him to the wall, and slammed him against it.

"Get out before I send you to the hospital." Rome coldly uttered with rage burning in his eyes.

"Nah, you are the one who's going to need medical help." Rookie softly said, giving a cold half-smile.

At that moment, Rome felt a sharp pain on his side, and the only thought that crossed his mind was, 'Catherine is going to kill me if I don't die here.'

As her eyes widened with fear in them, Natasha whispered with a drop of a tear running down her face, "Blood! Oh my, he's bleeding."

At that moment, K looked at the drops of bloodstain on the floor and shouted in anger, "Boss!"
