I will not ask how you got it, I do not wish to know. I have done nothing to you, sir. If I have hurt someone that you know, I did not do it on purpose," he said.

"What is it that you want? You know who and what I am. I will promise you that if you threaten to spread that information, I do not care. I will not give you what you want. Blackmail is not a quality that I think deserves reward," he said, squaring his shoulders. This man was meandering his way toward a broken nose and a bloodied lip.
