Emily lowered the weapon and declared, her voice carrying clearly through the shock, "Anyone who deals with the billionaires of Fortress four will be considered to have committed treason. They will be an enemy of Kingsbridge, and they will pay the price. This was a warning. Do not make me squeeze the life out of this town."
And if you are thinking of moving, I advise you to think twice. I have been to Ferry Island, and it is field with thieves and beggars. Vicente recently led an execution through the town. Their streets are stained with more blood than what has been shed here.
As for Fortress four, it was attacked by watchers and flying serpents and other beasts today. They have enemies that are stronger and more deadly than me. Slaughter is all that is waiting for you there." She gestured to Dr. Ramesh. "Now line up and tell Ramesh everything you saw and heard while you were over there.
If you leave out anything, you will suffer the same fate as your servants."
