Chapter 17 - The Party going on

As the audio recording continued, some metallic clanks and scraping sounds started to play.

 

While the others couldn't grasp what was wrong with those sounds, Leo felt a tear forming at the corner of his eye as he thought about how bold the technicians truly were.

 

Meanwhile, the other technicians in the recording began talking as soon as they heard the noise.

 

As Leo silently chose the first option, he kept listening to the recording.

 

"Bro, isn't this a bit too much? This car is really expensive. Do we really need to take this much risk?"

 

Right after the two questions came one after another, the head technician's voice came from the recording.

 

As Manager Woon listened to the recording and realized just how far the technicians had gone, he smiled, and at that exact moment the head technician suddenly lunged forward and tried to snatch the audio recorder.

 

Leo, having foreseen all of this, was the first to react. He stepped in front of Chang min and flattened the head technician with a sharp slap before anyone else could move.

 

Leo's full recovery and the +1 strength stat showed their true effect for the first time.

 

Looking down at the head technician lying on the ground with blood dripping from his mouth, Leo felt a strange emotion stir inside him.

 

By slapping with all his strength, he naturally dealt ten points of damage to the enemy and one point to himself.

 

His palm felt as if it were on fire, but the small pain almost felt pleasurable.

 

After thinking for a short moment, Leo understood that this was caused by adrenaline and male hormones, and he smiled.

 

Seeing Leo's sudden outburst and the head technician writhing on the ground, Manager Woon quickly tried to calm Leo down.

 

"I planted the audio recorder because I suspected they were up to something. Now that we have evidence, all we need to do is wait for the police, Mister Leo. Chang min already contacted them."

 

Leo was doing a system quest, and he wasn't about to give up more rewards by switching into the role of a holy mother.

 

"Manager Woon, please step aside. They dared to damage my car. Even if it gets repaired, it won't give off that brand new factory scent anymore."

 

The manager knew that if Leo beat up the technicians, he could easily shift from victim to offender, so he stubbornly stood in front of Leo, blocking him.

 

Leo looked at Chang min and Manager Woon, who were working together to stop him, then glanced at the four terrified technicians standing behind them, and finally played his joker card.

 

"Manager Woon, I think you misunderstood something. Ha ha... Ahh, what I'm doing isn't hurting them. What I'm doing is called kindness. This is just an ordinary race car with no collector value. I'm giving them a chance to get off with a simple beating and a bit of compensation."

 

Before Leo continued speaking, he shifted his voice into a deeper tone.

 

"If I wanted revenge, all I'd have to do is make one phone call. A few days later, when these idiots hear that they're getting away with just one month of jail time, they'll be happy and think they got off lightly. But at the end of that month, their families will only be receiving their corpses."

 

Leo took a deep breath and returned to a cheerful tone before he continued.

 

"But I'm not a cruel person. If they kneel in front of me and apologize, and then allow me to beat them as much as I want, we can end this right here."

 

The attitude Leo showed during this speech, the sense of "I am the one controlling your lives", combined with all the previous clues, made it impossible for anyone to doubt his words.

 

A young master who drove a one billion won car inside the city even though it was completely illegal, and who accidentally purchased a vehicle that only the top racing teams could access. He must definitely have a powerful family behind him.

 

As Manager Woon wondered what he should do, he glanced at Chang min in distress, only to see him staring at Leo with shock.

 

When Manager Woon thought that his old friend's reaction time was unusually slow today, he noticed that even the head technician who had been lying on the floor earlier was now sitting on the ground before Leo.

 

Before Manager Woon could even be surprised, he saw Leo diving into the group of five technicians with a mix of punches and slaps.

 

No one could react, nor did they have the courage to.

 

As the scene grew bloodier and bloodier, Leo fully enjoyed the masculine thrill of working up a sweat.

 

Four of the five technicians were missing several teeth, and the black blood from their smashed noses dripped from their chins down onto their chests.

 

Only the female technician, who looked like she was about to enter her thirties, had not taken a single hit.

 

She was relieved she wasn't getting beaten, yet at the same time guessed that the reason she wasn't hit was her gender, and at the same time feared the fact that she wasn't hit.

 

If the young man standing before her weren't rich, young, and handsome, she might have considered offering herself just to be forgiven, but sleeping with a boy like him even for one night was completely impossible for her.

 

At least she was aware of herself and didn't make any ridiculous offers.

 

Once Leo felt he had sweated enough, he pulled back and faced the only one he hadn't beaten. That gave the woman a chance to speak.

 

"What about me, young master. Please don't hold back from hitting me. I'm so sorry. I got greedy."

 

"Hey hey hey, woman. I have self respect. I don't hit a defenseless woman. If you really want it, you can slap yourself though. Hahah."

 

"So you respect yourself, but you don't respect the law."

 

Just as the woman technician was about to slap herself, she saw Leo collapse forward, clutching his stomach. Before she lifted her head, a voice echoed across the area.

 

"You are under arrest for involvement in a violent crime. Anything you say from this point on can be used against you in court."
