Lukas was thrown into the basement of Gale Bay.

Zephyr sat in the center while bodyguards with blank faces stood around the room. Lukas was shaking on his knees, but he refused to tell the truth.

“M-Mr. Hamerton, I really don’t know what you’re asking about… Ms. Zennie asked for t-that. I didn’t insist on giving it to her…”

Zephyr scowled, and without a word from him, the bodyguard beside him kicked Lukas in the chest.

Lukas cried out and yelped, nearly coughing up blood from the pain.

“Mr. Hamerton, you can’t do this…” he argued. “It’s against the law to lock me up here…”

“Hah, so you know about law too?” Zephyr looked at him coldly. Each word from him was sharp like the blade. “I’m the law in the Hamertons!”

Lukas was stunned. Blood seeped from the corner of his lips, and the coppery scent and endless fear choked him up like the hemp rope.

Zephyr did not want to waste too much time with him here. Cordelia was still upstairs. He did not let her come down to the damp and cold basement, nor did he want her to witness this filth.

He furrowed his eyes and shot a look to gesture for Robert to bring the butler, Mr. Welkie.

Soon, Lukas heard deep yet hasty steps approach.

“Mr. Hamerton, you…”

“Since I can’t make you talk, I’ll let your uncle have a chat with you!” Zephyr snarled, “He raised you and treats you like his own. This is a good time for you uncle and nephew to connect!”
