Under your assumption, a sadist acting violently could claim to behave ethically. On the long term the inflicted damage will cause additional damage in the vicinity of the victim thus modeling the consequences beyond the immediate context will increase the fun for the sadist

You are correct. Ethics is the principled negotiation of conflicts of interest under conditions of shared purpose. If you don't share purposes with your victim, there are no ethics to apply for you.
