At that moment Ethan eyes turned deadly, Marcus words have not gotten to him but this one does and he's going to make him pay for it.
Marcus saw the sudden change in Ethan and he could tell his last word got to him.
Then he Said.
" I don't want to waste my strength on you any more, get down on your knees and beg me Sincerely, and if you cry just like the way you were crying inside the trash truck I might reduce your Punishments for today."
Marcus smiled because he knew Ethan doesn't have any other choice then to obey, then his hidden camera would capture everything, he planned to humiliate Ethan with it further.
however Ethan didn't move. He just kept looking at Marcus with a deadly gaze.
Marcus at that moment was shocked he thought he had successfully broken the bastard.

"Didn't you hear me? I said get on your knees! Get down and say you're sorry!"

"What did you say?"
he asked.
Ethan spoke louder this time.
"I said no,"

"You have to, you don't have a choice here, you must obey!"
He yelled.
"Look at all these men I brought! They'll hurt you if I tell them to!"
Ethan looked at the men again. They do look really scary. But he wasn't scared of them.
"No, Marcus"
Ethan said. He was surprised that his voice sounded so calm like he was so confident.
"But instead you should get on your knees and apologize to me Sincerely"
upon hearing what Ethan just said Marcus's mouth fell open. He couldn't believe what Ethan had said.
"What?"
Marcus yelled.
"You can't tell me what to do! I'm in charge here!"
Ethan shook his head.
"Not anymore,You should get on your knees and say sorry to me now that you have the chance"
Marcus couldn't help but laugh, but it sounded nervous.
"Why would I ever do that?"
he asked.
Ethan looked right into Marcus's eyes.
"Because, if you do it, and if you really mean it, I might let you leave without beating you beyond recognition."
Ethan looked at Marcus and without being told he could see he was mad.
"You will be sorry for taking my belongings for insulting my family," Ethan said. a vein was beginning to show on his forehead.
Marcus at that moment couldn't believe his ear then he started laughing.
"Ha ha ha! Who do you think you are?"
he said in a mean voice. He pointed at Ethan and made a silly face.
Marcus started to make fun of Ethan again.
"Ethan is a silly name! You are just an Errand boy. You do what people tell you to do"
Marcus said. He moved his arms and legs in a goofy way as he talked.
"You are no good. That is why you have no family"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Marcus said again with a big smile. "Your family left you when you were a baby. They knew you would be no good from the start."
Ethan frowned. His hands starting to turn into fists. He took deep breaths, trying to stay calm but he couldn't even though he knew what Marcus was saying were all lies but he still couldn't keep calm.
Marcus looked right at Ethan. He narrowed his eyes and curled his lip.
"You will not leave here alive today,"
he said in a low growl.
"You put your stupid hands on me back in your smelling dorm. Now you have to pay."
Just then, five more big men drove into the warehouse. They wore black jackets and had scars on their mean faces. They jumped off their motorcycles and ran at Ethan without Even holding back.
"Get him, boys!"
yelled Marcus with a smiling face he can't wait to see Ethan face like red tomato that is about going bad. "Teach this dummy not to mess with me!"
The ten thugs smiled as they ran at Ethan. They knew this would be easy. Ethan was just one man against ten of them.
"This will be quick!"
Said the first thug. He raised his hairy arm to hit Ethan.
"I bet he pees on his pants already!" said the second thug with a nasty laugh. His yellow teeth showed as he smiled wide.
"Dummy is going to cry for his mommy! but she wouldn't be here to save her little boy"
said the third thug.
But Ethan wasn't scared. He knew these thugs were no match for him even though they looked so strong.. A little smile formed on his mouth. His eyes sparkled and his body felt strong immediately.
"Ten against one? I like those odds... for me it would make me even more stronger!"
Ethan said to himself as he get ready to fight.
At that moment the first thug reached Ethan and threw a punch. But Ethan was too quick! He ducked under the punch and hit the thug strongly in the belly.
"Ooofff!"
went the thug as he fell to the ground.
immediately two more thugs ran at Ethan, but he jumped up and kicked them both in the face. Bam! Pow! They fell down and held their sore noses.
"Ow ow ow!"
they cried. Tears formed in their eyes.
Another thug tried to grab Ethan from behind. But Ethan was too smart. He threw his head back and hit the thug in the nose.
"Crack!"
The thug screamed in pain and let go.
Ethan turned around fast. He punched the thug in the chest and then the stomach. The thug fell over and couldn't breathe.
At that moment they couldn't believe what they were seeing
"He's too strong!"
yelled one thug, holding his bloody mouth.
"Run away!"
screamed another thug. He limped away on his hurting leg.
Soon, all the thugs were on the ground. They rolled around, moaning in pain. Some started crawling away like scared babies.
Ethan stood tall and looked down at them. He still had a little smile on his face knowing this would be easy and truly it was. He didn't even break a sweat!
"Had enough?"
Ethan asked in a calm voice.
But some of the thugs weren't done yet.
They slowly got back up on their feet. They can't allow a kid to humiliate them in this manner. Even though they were hurt, they still wanted to fight Ethan to maintain their Integrity.
They reached into their pockets and pulled out shiny knives! The blades gleamed in the light as they pointed them at Ethan.
"Heh heh heh,"
Chuckled a thug with a black eye. "Let's see you fight against these!"
Marcus couldn't help but smile. He was becoming afraid earlier, seeing Ethan getting the upper hand, but now it seems they are serious.
