Chapter 219 Reinforcements

Adam and Allen’s faces were stony as the door closed to the cell, and Lexi was still fuming about Linus’s comments.

“Don’t let it get to you,” Ann said gently, “Those comments were meant to infuriate and provoke us into a reaction. Most likely so that he can claim mistreatment at our hands.” she continued with a grimace. “He’s a disgusting piece of s**t. How can an Elder hold such a high position and still live by those archaic standards? It’s people like him that make the world such a horrendous place for people with mixed heritage to live in…” She fumed before pausing and turning to Ann with a sigh of regret, “I wish you’d have let me rearrange his face just a little bit.”

Ann smiled wryly and raised an eyebrow at her as Lexi smiled half-heartedly at her.

“I would have settled for choking him until he passed out, you know…” Lexi offered as Allen looked at her with a mixture of pride and horror.

‘It’s not their blood I’m baying for… it’s mainly their balls.’ Maeve interjected with a smirk, ‘Castration is incredibly effective in softening the male’s attitude.’

‘Maeve, that’s horrific.’ Ann admonished, ‘People can change given enough reason, but you have to give them a reason to change They aren’t likely to do that if you’ve mutilated them, you’ve only given them a reason to hate you.’

‘Like I give a shit.’ Maeve snorted, ‘I’m merely saving future generations from having to deal with their bloodline’s stupidity. Stupid shouldn’t breed.’
