Timothy immediately sensed Chuck's ulterior motives toward Mia. There was no way he would allow him to enter.

With a stern expression, Timothy retorted, "I couldn't care less about money. You'd better leave!"

If this were Bern City, Timothy would have dealt with Chuck long ago! Chuck's demeanor shifted abruptly. "Hey buddy, don't embarrass yourself. You're a Zalantis bodyguard, right? Let's see what you're capable of today. Take him down!"

With that, Chuck strode forward with two other bodyguards by his side, clearly intent on forcing their way in.

Timothy remained unfazed. He swiftly gained the upper hand against the two accompanying bodyguards, overpowering them effortlessly. Witnessing Timothy's impressive skills and recalling his past as an assassin from Zalantis, Chuck's bravado wavered. He became agitated and threatened, "You filthy bodyguard, mark my words! If you dare to provoke me, you'll regret it!"

After Chuck departed, Timothy remained standing in silence, his hand instinctively reaching to massage his arm. It seemed that the scuffle moments earlier had aggravated an old injury.

He waited patiently outside the room for a while, but Mia didn't emerge. Was changing clothes supposed to take this long?
