Chapter 58: Chapter 58 - Thugs

-Dring!

-Dring!

-Dring!

The bell kept ringing as more and more people began entering the store.

’What the hell is happening?’ Aphrodite thought as the bell wouldn’t stop ringing.

It was as if an organized group of people had decided to enter this place. Still, Aphrodite was not too worried as she went back behind the counter; the people who entered the store didn’t utter a single word as each of them pulled out a baseball bat from their backs.

Then, at once, they swung down toward anything they could reach.

"This is from the Smith Family! Don’t mess with them; otherwise, we will burn down your store."

Aphrodite frowned as they pronounced that name, not yet acting as she could see them trying to destroy everything they set their sights on.

’The Smith Family? Isn’t that the one from that loser back then?’ Aphrodite thought as she remembered how she had completely humiliated him. ’He decided to attack us with those... weak humans? Why didn’t he ask for help from strong people?’

Aphrodite was honestly finding this utterly pathetic as she walked out from behind the counter with slight irritation on her face.

She was definitely annoyed by the situation unfolding before her very eyes.

"I will say it only once," Aphrodite declared with a sigh. "If you don’t stop in the next five seconds, I will break all of your arms and make you cry like little babies."

One of the men smirked as he turned toward her and began looking her up and down.

"You’re not too bad yourself. Boys, what do you think?"

"Mhm... she looks fucking good. We should bring her back with us, boss."

"That’s right. Let’s have some fun with her after this."

They all began spouting nonsense as Aphrodite’s patience ran thin.

"I’ll give you five seconds."

"5... 4..."

"Haha! She really thinks she can handle us? A woman like her? She looks like she never hurt a fly!"

"She looks so weak; who the hell does she think she is?"

"Hey, lady! You’re pretty, but don’t push your luck; we wouldn’t want to ruin that face of yours."

"3... 2..."

But then, just as the countdown was about to reach zero, Lilith, who had been sleeping upstairs, came down with barely any clothes to cover her body.

The eyes of all the men met her as they lusted after yet another woman without any shame.

"Fuck! Let’s take them both!"

"Aphrodite, who the fuck are those losers?" Lilith asked with a smirk. "And why are you letting them destroy the store? You know very well that Lucius will punish us if he finds out about this."

"I was about to deal with them. Just go back upstairs."

Lilith smirked as she sat on the stairs. "Nah... I think I’ll watch. I want to make sure that you can handle those losers."

Aphrodite gritted her teeth as she got even more motivation to break all of their limbs.

"You all have one second to leave the store, or I’m breaking your arms and your legs."

One of the men pushed his luck as he walked toward Aphrodite, his hand getting closer to her face. It got closer and closer until it was an inch away from her face, and that’s when Aphrodite had enough. In the blink of an eye, she twisted his arm.

"ARGHHH! What the fuck! What the hell did you do to me?"

Immediately, he was on the ground screaming in pain as the others seemed to understand that Aphrodite’s threats were no joke.

"Fuck... even his women are fucking crazy!"

Aphrodite didn’t care as she kicked the guy all the way back to them.

"That’s one arm."

She began walking before them as she once again vanished from their line of sight.

-Creak!

The sound of bones breaking began echoing within the store. However, it was quickly muffled by the sound of pain.

"Come on... don’t start crying already? I’ve only broken one of your arms. There’s still your other arm and both of your legs."

Aphrodite smiled like a demon as she got closer to the first person she had injured, who was trying his best to stand up and run toward the exit.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Did she say you could leave?" Lilith said with a smile as she blocked the exit instantly.

"W-We were told this would be easy! T-They even got rid of the main threat; why are those girls so strong?!"

"Girls?" They both shook their heads. "Who the fuck do you think we are? Losers."

Aphrodite grabbed the first person she saw and broke his arm again.

Then, she did it again and again... and again. Until she had broken all of their arms.

"P-Please... not our legs. W-We won’t ever cause trouble for your store again! W-We swear! Right, guys?"

"That’s right, we will never come back here again."

She laughed. She couldn’t care less if they came back.

"I warned all of you earlier. You just had to listen. It’s a pity that you didn’t."

Then, as Aphrodite grabbed onto one of the guys’ legs, Lilith stopped her.

"It’ll be annoying to deal with broken legs. Let them leave like this. It’s not like they are any threats, and they’re already scared like crazy."

Aphrodite didn’t want to listen to Lilith, but she was right.

"Then, please tell this to ’Mister Smith.’ Our boss will soon be visiting him once he is done with his date..."

They all nodded at the same time as they ran out of the store like madmen.

"Q-Quick! L-Let’s go! This place is crazy!"

All of the employees looked toward Lilith and Aphrodite with their mouths wide open, scared out of their minds that they would ever do something that could threaten them in the future.

As they got out, a limousine had been waiting for them, and inside it was Axel, who had been waiting with a big smile on his face.

However, that very smile vanished from his face as he saw the people he had employed run out with tears running down their faces.
