Chapter 228
The Old Mansion.
Basement dungeon.
Calling it a warehouse was a bit of a misnomer because, in reality, it was a cell.
One wall of the cell was adorned with a variety of torture devices.
Hamilton entered, a look of discomfort briefly crossing his face. He stifled the wave of nausea rising in his throat and stepped into one of the cells.
Victor was restrained in the center of the cell.
His torso was bare, marked with streaks of blood.
As soon as Hamilton walked in, Victor managed a laugh.
"Hamilton, I gotta say, I didn't think you'd be this protective of her!"
Hamilton's face remained expressionless.
He glanced at Victor, then walked over to a wall, picked up a whip, and dipped it into a nearby bucket before Victor could react. With a swift motion, he lashed out with the whip! The first strike tore open the skin.
Victor screamed in pain.
"Hamilton, you son of a "
Before he could finish his sentence, another lash cut through the air.
Victor's screams echoed through the basement dungeon.
When Ronin and Killian arrived, Victor was a bloody mess.
Ronin choked on his own breath for a moment, then turned aside to retch.
Hamilton glanced at him, then tossed the whip aside.
He signaled Killian with a look, "Wake him up."
Killian nodded and splashed a bucket of ice water over Victor.
Victor came to, his eyes filled with sheer terror.
"Hamilton, for the love of our years of camaraderie, spare me, will you? I'll never touch her again, I swear!"
