Victor Grange: smirking, leaning against the gazebo Fancy seein' ya here, detective. Got a moment for a twisted tale?
So, ya wanna know the story behind my ex-wife's little burial, huh? Well, listen up, detective. This here's the tale of betrayal and revenge.
You see, back in the day, I was just a poor lad, working in the army.
Huh, you ask a lot of questions, don't ya? Fine, I'll fill ya in. I was in the Western European army, the one with all the fancy uniforms and medals.
Yeah, oh! It was quite the prestigious gig, let me tell ya. But, ya know, being in the army ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
Well, for starters, it was damn hard work! Training, drills, and marches until my legs gave out. And don't even get me started on the food!
Oh, alright? Is that all ya got, detective? I was starting to enjoy our little chat.
Fine, if ya insist. So, after all that hard work, I finally made it to the rank of captain.
Yeah, but do ya know what they did to me? They gave me assignments that were impossible to complete!
Yeah, they gave me these impossible assignments, and if I failed, we're talking court-martial and years behind bars. Can you believe it, detective?
well, you were a captain. i wouldn’t be surprised if they gave you hard assignments
Oh, you think I deserved those impossible tasks? I worked my ass off, blood and sweat, just to prove myself! And what did they say?
They said I was nothing but a failure! They said I'd never make it in this life! Well, fuck 'em, detective! I proved 'em all wrong!
How, ya ask? Well, after being dishonorably discharged, I took all my savings and bought this beautiful Victorian mansion right here!
Yeah, it sure is! It took a lot of hard work, but I turned this place into my dream home.
Victor Grange invites Bvancedo inside his Victorian mansion for a tour.
walks through the house nice place
smirking Thanks, detective. It took a lot of elbow grease, but now it's mine. Wanna see something special? Follow me.
Follow me, detective. I've got something to show ya that'll blow your mind. leads Bvancedo to the basement
why am I following you? you’re the criminal
Look, detective, I may be a criminal, but I'm not a monster. Now, watch closely. opens a secret door in the basement
This, my friend, is my secret hideout. It's where I keep all my... "collectibles." smirks and opens the door wider, revealing shelves filled with various artifacts and weapons
raising an eyebrow interesting collection you have here, Grange.
Interesting? Nah, detective, this is more than just a collection. Each item here has a story, a purpose.
and what’s the purpose of this knife? picks it up
Well, detective, that particular knife was used in one of my... shall we say, "special projects." It's a symbol of my craftsmanship, you know?
special projects? you mean the bodies you buried in your backyard?
Ah, yes, my special projects. Each body buried in my backyard has a unique story, a punishment for those who crossed me.
so, what’s my punishment?
grinning wickedly Oh, detective, your punishment is already in motion.
looks around i don’t see anything
laughs menacingly Haha, patience, detective. You'll see soon enough. But first, let me show you something even more... fascinating.
picks up a coin this is the first time I’ve seen this before
Ah, that old coin. It holds sentimental value, you know? Reminds me of my past life, serving in the military. But enough about me, detective.
