Chapter 9: Burning
....One Week Later
A week had passed since the ceremony.
Arthur had done everything he could do for most of the families he ruined – most of them.
He had given the families money, though he knew that money alone wouldn't be able to fill the hole he had put in their hearts. He himself knew that much from his own experience.
Those were the rape victims.
The families of the people the spirit that had possessed him murdered, however were given no compensation.
There was something in him that just couldn't do it.
He had taken many lives on the battlefield, even on the first time he killed someone the only thing he felt was a lingering feeling of guilt, but even then that was only when he thought deeply of the lives he had taken.
Emotionally he was unchanged.
Plagiarism was something he couldn't do anything about.
So the only thing left was the smuggling.
