Kapitel 449: Buying the Jewlery

During this ordeal, he disregarded the pleas of Rose Jewelers' security and sales staff, as well as the astonished looks from his attendants.

After Count Terni left, the guard raised his copper rod to strike Howard, saying, "Scum of the earth, get out of here! With you standing here, the noble lords won't even enter our store! Get lost!"

Nia lunged in front of Howard, attempting to shield him from the blow.

Howard felt it was about the right time and said, "What if I told you I am also a noble?"

Nia, who had thrown herself in front of him, suddenly tensed her neck in a small but sharp movement.

The guard didn't halt his swing, dismissing Howard's claim as mere drivel of a pauper.

He felt that someone in such ragged clothing uttering such words was an insult to his experience.

Seeing this, Howard, with Nia in his arms, swept the guard's legs with his left, bringing him down, and then clasped the guard's copper rod with his right wrist.
