“Not motivation, Miss Stark. Information, there’s a difference. In all honesty we care not for the plight of your family, or the men who have wronged them. If you are willing and able to pay us to exact revenge, then that is all the motivation we require. Now. Tell me about these parties, the more we know the better we may help you.”

Two men — Bolton and Frey — who boasted on their great friendship with our family engineered his murder, as well as that of my mother. Bolton has magnanimously taken control of our interests, unaware that any heirs remained; before his removal, I should like certain guarantees that these holdings will naturally find themselves returned to their rightful owners.”
