Chapter 382
| didn't want to tell the young lady that | owned this apartment building. Otherwise, my failure to maintain order
would reflect poorly on me, and she might even try to holdliable.
Hence, | figured stepping in as just a passerby standing up for justice would be better. Once the matter was
settled, I'd quietly withdraw.
"Justice, my foot!" One of the thugs couldn't take it anymore and rushed atwith a fist ready to strike.
Just as he was about to step forward, his neck was seized by someone.
Quintus had one hand clamped firmly around his throat and swiftly seized his left arm with the other. With a crisp
snap, he dislocated the thug's arm.
The other thug was terrified and attempted to flee but was promptly kicked to the ground by Quintus.
In the blink of an eye, the two were left sprawled on the ground and barely able to

move.
| stood up and smiled, saying, "I already told you. If you'd just behaved, none of this would've happened. If you
act recklessly, you will get hurt. You didn't listen. Are you regretting it now?
| added, "Alright. Hurry over here and kneel. Apologize to this young lady as | told you."
Quintus kicked the two men forward as soon as | finished speaking, forcing them to stumble to their knees before
She glanced at them in confusion and then looked up at me. "A-Are you serious?"
I shrugged, smiling wryly. "What more do | need to do to convince you?"
"I-1 don't mean to doubt you. It's just that..." She gulped nervously, unable to finish her sentence.
After being beaten by Quintus, the two men realized that they were no match for him. If they kept opposing me,
they'd only suffer worse at his hands. Left with no other choice, they knelt and pleaded.
"W-We know we were wrong! Please, spare us!"
"We were just doing what Marcus told us! We're innocent victims, too!"
Seriously? Were they calling themselves victims?
| sneered coldly. "Cut the nonsense. I'll count to three. Don't blme if you still haven't apologized and cracked
your own heads by then. I'll have choice but to let him handle it. He's strong, and if he accidentally goes too far
and leaves you with brain damage, don't ccrying to me."
Based on what just happened, they'd have to be somewhat foolish not to realize | was serious. As expected, their
faces contorted with hesitation and inner conflict after hearing what | said.
When | counted to three, they instinctively grabbed something close by and cautiously knocked it against their
heads. Since it was their skulls, they didn't dare use too much strength.
Before anyone could react, Quintus raised an ashtray and smashed it hard against one of their heads. As he
released it, the glass ashtray shattered into shards.
The thug who got hit collapsed to the ground immediately.
The other thug was so terrified that he didn't think twice and grabbed a nearby
vase and smashed it against his own head.
Blood gushed out instantly.
He stammered, "I-Is that enough?"
The young lady covered her mouth
in fear. It seemed that her earlier
demand for them to beg for mercy 1
was just an act of defiance. Now that they were actually being forced to do it, she was scared ando nervous. She
hurriedly looked atand said, "E-Enough. | don't want them to do this."
But | didn't relent. "You don't want it, but I do."
