Chapter 272 A Big Short's Prisoner

• The atmosphere in the private room grew tense. Marion clenched his fists, breathing heavily with bloodshot eyes. He had just purchased the BMW 3 Series less than two months ago, and it had been kept clean and polished. He never expected it to be vandalized in such a manner. Aldrich did not only steal Marion's girlfriend but smashed his car. It was like adding insult to injury. Gustave and Reg, sitting beside Marion, were also furious. They were all adults and couldn't buy into Aldrich's ridiculous explanation about the sun causing the glass to shatter.
• Leonard narrowed his eyes and looked at Aldrich, who was acting arrogantly. However, Aldrich was only focused on Marion and deliberately ignored Leonard, Reg, and Gustave. At the entrance, the group of young gentlemen who had entered with Aldrich couldn't help but burst into laughter. Bullying and fighting were regular activities for these young men. Just moments ago, when Aldrich recognized Marion's car in the parking lot, they goaded each other into smashing the car windows. As one of them picked up a rock and ruthlessly smashed it against the car window, they all felt a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
• They relished the feeling of acting recklessly without consequences, relying on their backgrounds. Gustave, who was the least courageous among the four roommates back in their college days, appeared somewhat flustered. He said, "I'll go check it out." And then he hurriedly left with his girlfriend. Reg shook his head at Marion, signaling him to remain calm. Aldrich was deliberately provoking Marion, hoping for an outburst. These young gentlemen wouldn't hesitate to provoke a conflict. But if the one they provoked fought back, the consequences would be dire.
