Meanwhile, in a basement south of the city's outer zone, the hero was still going through the worst nightmare of his life.
He had thought that getting beaten and ridiculed was already excruciating for someone in his position, but the lunatic who had captured him in a moment of weakness seemed to have no bottom line at all!
Over the course of twenty-four hours, the man had gone from using an iron rod to break the hero's legs, to a wooden stick, and finally to a leather belt. Amos felt as if there was no part of his body that didn't hurt, both inside and out.
And as if the physical abuse wasn't enough, the bastard even forced him to eat food from a bowl on the ground, with his hands and feet still tied behind his back!
