Inbred Bastards

This whole basement cell and torture reminded me of the simulation of Iris, which only ensured that these people would not receive a swift end to their lives. To that end, I stopped slapping the baron before I accidentally broke his neck, grabbed his leg, and started pulling him back toward the cell while he was squealing like a pig who was heading for the slaughterhouse - which he most certainly was. I sent a mental note to Selene and Cedric that I wanted to see the other two Blackthorns as soon as possible and to get me their keys to the collars of their 'harem', also known as illegal sex slaves.

"You thought I would become an emotional wreck?" She asked with a scoff.

"I mean, yeah? You got a horrible punishment."
