The Innkeeper

Chapter 1431  We should avoid getting involved

Lex had long been disillusioned to his own reality. He knew he wasn't exactly a good guy based on the traditional definition of things. Although he tried to avoid killing people, the number of beings who had died by his hand was so immense that he actually had no idea what the number was.

At the same time, he usually took a bit of pleasure in making his enemies feel hopeless. In watching them build up hope after almost peeling away defenses, only to realize that his body was, in every metric, much stronger than the actual armor that he wore.

But such things were reserved only for his enemies. Lex did his best to stay polite and amicable towards people on an ordinary basis, and though he had goaded the panther a bit into revealing details about the glass containers they arrived in, the way that Lex saw it, the bank owed him that much after getting him involved in some random confrontation.

So, in essence, Lex was usually a good guy, and if he ever needed to be bad or mean, he tried to reserve it for his enemies. But what was happening in front of him was a level of torture Lex could neither have imagined being orchestrated by one of his companions.

He looked over to Velma, and saw her smirking.
