The three burly men slowly began to retreat, seemingly attempting to escape.
Quintus, however, didn't give them a chance. He swiftly moved forward and, within a few moves, incapacitated
their left legs.
The rest was up to me. He stepped aside, awaiting my orders. | slowly approached the men, choosing the one
who looked the most terrified.
"Tellwhere Alexander took my friend after he abducted her. Speak up, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'll have
my men disable your other hand and both your legs, and you'll spend your life as a cripple."
The man broke into a cold sweat. Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what you're talking
about. Abducting? Mr. Arnoult just sentto deal with you. | don't know anything else."
"Okay."

| didn't waste any more time. | got up and signaled Quintus.
Quintus quickly stepped forward and forcefully twisted the wrist of another man. With a sickening crack, his wrist
was bent at a 90-degree angle.
The man's scream echoed through the room. The thug that was most scared turned pale and trembled in fear.
"N-No. Don't hurt me! I'll tell you! I don't know what Mr. Arnoult did, but if he's abducted someone, they're bound
to be at the factory in the suburbs. It's one of the properties of the Arnoult family, and he always takes people
there to deal with them!"
| immediately set off with Quintus to go to the factory.
It was an abandoned facility with no security at the entrance. The gates were locked, but with Quintus' help we
easily gained access. We climbed the stairs to the upp

floor,
and immediately, | heard Charlotte's
voice. arlotte's
"Alexander, don't go too far. I'm the one who dealt with you, not Isabelle! Let her
go!"
Alexander didn't respond. He was focused on playing a video game.
She kept taunting him. "Alexander, you're a worthless piece of trash. What do you really want? If you're man
enough, just kill me! A life for a life!"
He still ignored her. However, he put down his gaming console and picked up a tablet, putting the device's audio
on speaker. Even from a distance, | could hear the vulgar sounds from the device.
It seemed that Alexander was watching explicit content! He really had no shame.
By now, | had a pretty good idea of what he wanted to do. When Charlotte first provoked him, his goal had been
to get her, but he failed. This time, it seemed like he wouldn't let her slip away.
| couldn't help but wonder what kind of trouble Isabelle might be in. I considered letting him do what he wanted
with Charlotte momentarily before stepping in to save her.
After all, she had never appreciated my help. Although | had saved her repeatedly, she had mocked and insulted
However, | quickly dismissed the thought. She had only inflicted spsychological harm on me. But if | chose
not to save her, what she might endure could very well be a lifetof emotional trauma.
Isabelle suddenly shouted, "Alexander, don't do anything reckless! You know what kind of person Charlotte is.
You can't afford to mess with her! Let us go now, and I'll make sure she forgives you. But if you continue this,
you'll drag your entire family down with you!"
Charlotte immediately chimed in, "That's right! Did you forget that my dad can get the president of the Business
Association on his side? If you touch even a hair on me, your family will go bankrupt. Try it and see what
happens!"
