In the cold and damp cellar, a man with a crippled right leg is bound heavily by iron chains to the stone wall.
His body is covered with countless whip marks, and his crippled right leg has been broken multiple times, treated again, and shattered anew.
The knee, originally salvaged through emergency treatment, is now full of shattered bones.
With so many tiny fragments, even the most skilled surgeon would need over a dozen operations to completely clear them.
And even then, this leg is forever ruined.
"Aidan Lucas... What you're doing is illegal... You... you have no right to use private punishment on me!"
Robbie Bright, after his initial pleas went unanswered, gradually resorted to oaths and curses.
But no matter how he cursed or swore, Aidan Lucas seemed oblivious, only torturing him more cruelly each time.
Robbie Bright, Ross Bright...
Nathan Lucas II would never forget that one day, it was this man who orchestrated that kidnapping.
