Having executed the butler, Asmodeus climbed into his car.
He left ten of his men behind to keep watch over the hostages. They were to lie in wait on the second floor, in case Leviathan returned.
He wanted to avoid the word reaching his brothers until Leviathan was in his hands. But with twenty shots fired, he knew that someone would certainly notice.
He called his brothels. Many of his brothers' men were regulars there.
"Drug them. Make up some lie. Offer discounted service. Tie them to beds. Fuck them to sleep. Accuse them of assault. Threaten them with knives. Kill those who resist. Do whatever you must to keep Leviathan's men unable to leave."
Out of the seven brothers, Lucifer, Asmodeus, and Mammon were most suited for war. They were unflappable and calculating.
"Torture them if you have to, but I want to know where Leviathan is."
