"I-I didn't know Lilia was your girlfriend." Arin stumbled back. "Had I known, I would have never—"
Xavier's punch hit Arin so fast he didn't see it coming. His body flew back and slammed into the ground with a crack. He tried crawling away, but Xavier grabbed him by the ankle and dragged him back like he was nothing more than trash.
"Stop—stop—please—" Arin begged, kicking helplessly.
Xavier stomped on his hand, crushing the fingers against the dirt until Arin's scream echoed through the empty lot.
"You touched students," Xavier said. "You followed them home. You blackmailed them."
"I-I didn't—!"
Another stomp. This time on his ribs.
Arin choked on his breath, curling up in agony.
Xavier grabbed him by the collar and punched him again. And again. And again. The sound of bone cracking under repeated impact filled the air.
"You disgust me," Xavier said. "You're the kind of parasite this city keeps protecting."
