Chapter 175
Severin’s expression was still surprisingly indifferent as he turned around to glance at the 20 people behind him. “Twenty men? That’s all? And they’re just all low-level gangsters. I can barely. get a proper warmup if I fight them.”
Queenie nearly fainted when she heard that and immediately chastised him, “Why are you still pretending to intimidate them? These guys don’t get scared so easily. Let’s just beg Hugh!”
“Beg him?” Severin was stunned for a moment. “Do you think you’ll get anything if you beg ant animal like him?”
Queenie was speechless. Severin’s remark had rendered it useless to kneel or kowtow to Hugh because it would have already offended Hugh beyond the point of redemption.
“Alright then, kid. Shoe me what you got!” Hugh waved his hand to give his subordinates the signal
to act.
When Severin saw those gangsters rushing up with clenched fists, a trace of disdain appeared in his eyes and he darted toward them in a blink of an eye. At that moment, he seemed to have transformed into a martial arts master, delivering punches and kicks at lightning-fast speed, sending his opponents flying several meters back.
Without needing to deal more than one blow to each person, he kicked and punched more than twenty people and left them helpless on the ground in less than twenty seconds. The three men whom he beat up the previous night received special treatment though – Severin made sure to kick their legs so forcefully that they would end up spending their entire lives in a wheelchair.
When Hugh saw what happened, he was so overwhelmed by fear that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. For the record, he was one of those people who could hold his own against ten men, but dispatching twenty people with such ease and swiftness was simply something he could not
achieve.
“Whoa! You’re f*cking awesome! This is the first time I have seen someone who can fight like that! “Queenie was stunned silly, and it took her a while before she had the frame of mind to run to
Severin’s side. There, she looked at him with adulation.
Severin smiled wryly. “Could you be a little less crass in your words? It’d sound nicer if you avoid using the F-word. Girls should watch their words. Don’t go around dropping F-bombs everywhere.”
“But it’s the truth! You ARE f*cking awesome!” Queenie rolled her eyes and looked at Hugh again. She was no longer afraid of him at that moment. “Do you know how powerful my cousin is, now? Can you let us go then?”
“Okay. Okay!” Hugh raised his hand, wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead, then stretched out his hand again to indicate that they could leave.
Queenie heaved a sigh of relief after finally getting the chance to leave safely.
To her surprise, however, Severin remarked, “Leave? Why should we? We haven’t settled scores yet!” After saying that, he walked right to the sofa and say down by imitating Hugh.. “You cheated my cousin out of so much money, and I originally wanted to just stick by my decision to avoid any
conflict. I never wanted to hold it against you, but I didn’t expect you to bully my cousin repeatedly and humiliate her. How much do you think you should pay her for what you did?”
