It's Angel's turn to roll his eyes. "Alright, fine. I tried to play nice." He grabs her by the collar, claws tearing into expensive fabric. She tries to protest, but Angel doesn't let up. He licks his razor-sharp teeth. "Spiders have venom, hon. So unless you want to be paralyzed for a bit, you better sit still and listen, okay?"
Her brow furrows, but she nods. Angel leans down, speaking right into her ear.
"Here's what's gonna happen. You are never going to set foot on my property ever again. You are never going to speak to me or any of my souls again. You will never repeat my name anywhere online again. In exchange," Angel fishes around in his pocket. "I'II destroy this."
Velvette's demeanor shifts entirely when she sees the flash drive. For the first time, there's actual, visible fear in her eyes. "Where the fuck did you get that?"
"If this gets out...seeing how you and your business partners treat the souls that you claim to love, what the future looks like for your future employees, well, we wouldn't want that, would we?"
"Oh, please," Velvette scowls. "You know what porn looks like down here. That's nothing compared to sick shit people get off to."
"Perhaps. But for souls that just got down here? That aren't used to absolute depravity? It'll scare them away. And those are the easiest to take advantage of, aren't they? It's a lot harder to get people to sign their souls away when they know the system, when they've been here long enough to see through the lies and false promises."
