Chapter 81: A Turn Of Fortune

Rodrigo's stomach stopped aching with hunger before Veng returned. 

"Almost ready." Veng smiled and patted Dastien on the head like a puppy. "You've done your job; you have my permission to die."

Dastien's head snapped up and a knife flashed toward Veng's heart. Before it touched the man, Dastien fell into dust.

"Oh dear, should have told him to go somewhere else." Veng scattered the pile with his toe. "Don't think you're going to get off that easily." He stalked over to Rodrigo and picked him off the floor, the chains falling from wrist and ankle. "Time to say goodbye to your soul." Veng's eyes glowed bloody red as they gazed into Rodrigo. 

Everything Rodrigo had done in his life, the good and bad came under the glare of those eyes. Veng rejected the good with a sneer, selecting the evil until Rodrigo's soul was filled with screams of hate and fear.
