"Now, you're going to tell me everything you know about the connections to the capital, or I'm going to start breaking bones. Trust me, I'm wearing steel, I think I can break just about every bone in your body, and I know just where to start... tell me, did you want children?"
The information that they had told him was actually pretty invaluable stuff. All about how they had a man in the city, and about how they had plans to meet him to arrange a transfer of money. That was the only reason he had spared the third man's life, because now he was able to get a false message to the guy who set up these deals that the guy in charge wanted to speak to him. If he were to ask about the limp... well, he'd just have to make something up about a slave getting a little bit too feisty for him to handle. As long as the man got there, that's all that mattered.

The "Property" was now moving back to the city, some people finding shelter within the ranks of the fanalis corps, whilst still others were finding their way back to wherever they had come from... or maybe they just ran off because they'd seen him kill people in cold blood. Either way, they weren't slaves any more.
