Marcus gave Cordelia a look, asking her to wait inside the room while he went to open the door.

“Marcus, I heard that you beat someone up…” Before Seth could finish his sentence, he saw the bloodstains on Marcus and could not help gasping. “Oh my god, it’s true!”

“It was just a few thugs,” Marcus replied indifferently. “I didn’t hit them too hard. They won’t die.”

“Didn’t hit them too hard?” Seth pulled him aside and whispered harshly, “You crushed their organs! They have to be sent to the hospital now!”

Marcus raised a brow but kept a straight face. They had been asking for it. How dare they tease Cordelia? It would not have been too much even if they had been beaten to death.

“What does his father have to do with me?”

“Bro, they’ll come to get revenge for sure!”

Marcus took off his bloodstained shirt and tossed it aside to change into a clean one. He knew that those guys came from families with some kind of influence.
