Just hours after Marshall returned to his teammates, The Boss made his appearance to check up on the boys, already aware that they had failed him for the second time.

"So, you've failed me once again. I warned all of you. The second time you all fail me, there will be immense pain unlike any pain you have experienced before. Now, it's about time that you all felt that pain"

The seven boys tried to explain themselves to him and begged him for mercy, but The Boss only proceeded to carry out what he promised them.

He used King Crimson's power to create a period of erased time, making himself appear right in front of Jean in the blink of an eye. The boys were terrified by this alone, realizing that time had suddenly skipped.

The Stand only attacked Jean and broke several bones in both of his legs.

It even picked him up out of his wheelchair and threw him to the ground. The only sounds that filled the room were Jean's cries of pain as he laid there helpless.

"Jean!!! Damn you!! This is the last time you're ever going to lay a finger on him!!"

Marshall immediately became enraged by the sight of what The Boss had done to Jean, and attempted to attack him with his wolf dogs.

But The Boss made erased time again and reappeared behind Marshall, allowing King Crimson to strike him from behind. The force of the blow instantly broke his back and knocked him to the ground, landing him right next to Jean. Despite Leon and Daegal wanting to attack The Boss, he ordered them to stand down. But even though he gave them that order, The Boss grabbed both wolf dogs in a chokehold and broke their necks before throwing them both against the wall.

As a result, Marshall only hurt himself more trying to move to get to his friends, the added stress and pain causing him to pass out.

"Boss my ass... I fucking hate you!! I WON'T LET YOU HURT MY FRIENDS ANYMORE!!"

Overcome with rage, Jonah was the next to try and attack The Boss.

Using his Remorse Sword, he attempted to strike him, but time has been erased again and King Crimson struck the sword, shattering it on impact.

Seeing his beloved sword that Robin gifted to him shatter before his very eyes drove him into an immediate depression, and he gave up the fight. As tears ran down his face, The Boss grabbed him by the back of his head and roughly slammed his face into the floor. He proceeded to slam his face into the floor multiple times, and then discarded his motionless body across the room.

"Jean... Marshall-hyung... Jonah-hyung..."

Damian could only stare down at his friends, completely frozen with fear and with no will to attack The Boss.
