Charlie’s words frightened Finley and Homer.
The two were crying and begging for mercy in unison, but Charlie turned a deaf ear to their pleas.
Finley collapsed in fright, and by this time, his pain perception had already magnified a hundredfold. He could only imagine how much pain he would be in if they arranged such a special session for them.
He quickly shouted, "Why are you doing this to us! Even if we broke the law, let the law judge us! According to the law of the United States, we'd be imprisoned for life, at most! Why are you being so inhumane?!"
"Inhumane?” Charlie curiously asked," What? When you tortured those innocent girls, why didn't you talk about your inhumanity to them? Now that it’s your turn to suffer, you're talking to me about humaneness? What? Do you yourself possess any humaneness?"
Finley cried, "I wasn't the one who killed those girls! I was only responsible for the arrangement. It was Homer and the rest who murdered them! There are at least dozens of perverts like him! If you let me go, I'll tell you who they are!"
Charlie arched his brow. "What? You didn't kill them, so you're not guilty? Do you think you're innocent just because you're merely the person who arranged everything?"
"Well, according to your logic, why am I inhumane, then? I didn't touch you or beat you. After this, I’m even arranging a special session for your enjoyment! Aren't I innocent, then? Based on your logic, I'm so f *cking innocent, so what have I done for you to accuse me of being inhumane?"
Finley knew he was full of evil and deserved his fate, so it was impossible for him to ask for Charlie's forgiveness. Hence, he could do nothing but cry.
"Please, I beg you... I'm willing to give you all the information, including the list of clients and the girls who were killed...
There are also all kinds of secretly filmed videos... TH give it all to you as long as you let me go..."
Charlie responded frostily, "Why didn't you tell me when I asked you earlier? Why didn't you give me the information earlier? Didn't you swear that you'd rather die than give me any information? In that case, I'll let you experience something worse than death!"
