Chapter 342: Some Relaxing Torture

Chapter 342: Some Relaxing Torture


The door to the room slid open. While Prince Cassius was struggling against his restraints in the cold room. It was an ominously dark room that he was currently stored inside of. But as Jace walked inside he sighed, "this was definitely not the type of venue I requested. I was very specific about the type of room I wanted as well."


Jace moved to a metal rolling table that was sitting next to the Prince. It had nothing on the top but on the bottom shelf was a reinforced and cooled container. Inside were the Ambrosia drugs he used for his torture.


He pulled a black bundle and laid it out on top of the table. There were an array of items and tools he would use for torturing. All of them were pristine and clean ready for use. But first he had to get the Prince hooked up and hanging from the roof.


"Torture? You think someone of my peerage and status would be allowed to undergo-"


"Your father permitted it." Jace informed the prince as he looked around and found a chain with a hook on the end. He picked it up and then looked at the pipes that were hanging from the roof. "There is no one in the galaxy capable of saving you know. Now- stop that." Jace stopped himself and sent an electric pulse through the prince’s body as he began to enable his power.


For only a moment his muscles started growing grotesque as he enabled his power. But then a moment later he began spasming as electricity ran through his spine and his abilities were disabled. The grotesque musculature quickly disappeared as he shook in his restraints.


Jace tossed the chain up over a cross area of two pipes. So he could not scoot one way or another in order to attempt to escape. Once the chain was over he grabbed the hook as it came down and put some of his weight on it. There was not even any creaking so he just let it be and raised the hook to the appropriate height while he attached the chain to another secure pipe. He checked again that the hook and pipes were secure then he turned his attention back to the prince.


Prince Cassius began moving again. "You low born scum. I was born with a right to rule this galaxy and you-"


Screech!


Jace pulled the chair back so he was just under the chain. "Can you shut up? Unless you plan to share something useful I will clamp your mouth shut with a nail if you continue to speak. I have been told it is not a fun experience." He backed up once the chair was in position and thought about how to set it up.


"You know the amount of secrets I know could completely throw this galaxy into chaos. I could give you information that would allow you to live completely off the grid. The secret accounts I know about. You could be a god among your fellow peasants." Prince Cassius began trying to bribe him.


They sometimes tried to do this. Especially when they were wealthier individuals. Maybe he should do some work for local gangs on the side. It would keep his practice up. He will look into doing that. He just had to avoid losing his actual position within the military.


"I could care less." Jace told him as he removed his first restraint and immediately tried to punch Jace. But Jace just twisted his wrist until his hand was on backwards and the skin on his hand started splitting.


"Aaargghh!" He began screaming and flailing in his chair in pain.


"Now if you behaved I would not have to do that." Jace told him as he chained his wrists together and then raised him up to the hook. He then turned his attention to the Prince’s feet. He was still restrained to the chair by his legs so he tried to swing forward to hit Jace with the chair.


Jace just stepped on the seat causing part of the feet to touch the ground and causing the Prince to scream in pain again as his body was forcefully stretched by the two opposing forces. Jace took a moment and removed one of his feet from the restraints and he immediately tried to kick Jace. He just caught his foot and put a restraint on it. Then he undid the other one and attached the restraint to it so now he was restrained by his arms and feet.


He then kicked the chair away and it skidded against the floor before stopping at the wall. Jace moved back and watched as the prince began flailing in his restraints from the hook. He was kicking back and forth trying to throw himself off the chain.


Jace stepped over to his tools and pulled out a scalpel. He moved behind the Prince as he tried to toss himself off. "You know this would end up being a lot less painful if you just stopped moving." That was a lie, but sometimes flailers like the prince would stop if he said that.


"When I get out of these restraints I am going to- Argh! What are you doing?!?" Prince Cassius demanded as Jace grabbed the Prince’s hip and pressed the scalpel into a spot just above his buttocks. Then he stepped back, "What- my legs! What did you do?" Prince Cassius demanded as he tried to move his body but with his spine cut he had limited mobility.


"Sorry, sometimes I have to do stuff like that if you like flailing around. Now then should I start off with the drugs or should I do some painful things first. What do you think?" Jace asked as he moved back to his table of tools. He looked over and saw a confused expression on the Prince’s face. Jace waited a minute then shrugged and picked up a hammer and chisel. "Let’s see what your rib bones look like."
