| | | After destroying the Monger's warehouse with [[Brasidas]], Kassandra returned to [[Anthousa]]. |
| (If The Monger was lured to the [[Sacred Cave]])
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Your plan seemed to work. The Monger's thugs ambushed me.'' |
| | | *'''Anthousa:''' ''I heard. I also heard you had no problems dealing with them.'' |
| ... | | *'''Kassandra:''' ''It wasn't my first fight in [[Korinth]].'' |
| | | *'''Anthousa:''' ''Or your last. We're going to take the Monger to task at the theater. I've arranged a Korinthian drama no one will forget.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Brasidas is worried about the anarchy that could follow the Monger's death. He wants him dead, but wants it done quietly.'' |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''That man is a long way from [[Sparta]]. This is [[Korinthia]], so we'll do it the Korinthian way.'' |
| | <tabber> |
| | |-|Let's take him to the theater.= |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I'm with you. We'll put on a show.'' |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''Meet me and my girls there. The public has no idea what spectacle they're about to witness.'' |
| | Kassandra travelled to the theater in Korinth. A while later, the Monger arrived with his men. |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''You wanted a fuckin' show?'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I wanted you to see the face of every person you've wronged.'' |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''I'll cover their faces with that precious blood of yours. Just like I shoulda done with [[Myrrine]].'' |
| | In a flashback, Myrrine was shown arguing with the Monger. |
| | *'''Myrrine:''' ''You'll never rule these streets, you pig!'' |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''oh, you bet your pretty face I will.'' |
| | The Monger grabbed Myrrine by her neck. |
| | *'''Myrrine:''' ''Get your filthy hands -'' |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''And when I do, I'll rip your fucking head right off and send it to the [[Cult of Kosmos|Cult]] as proof.'' |
| | The Monger let her go. The scene turns to the present. |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''You... you knew my mater?'' |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''She was big fuckin' trouble. But I'll pay her back. When I'm done with you, I'm gonna find your matter and bring her your fuckin' head.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Not if I bring her yours first.'' |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''They won't have much to say after I smash your brains all over the stage. Get the fuck off my streets.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''They're not yours anymore.'' |
| | Kassandra defeated The Monger's men and forced him to submit. Anthousa and her followers arrived surrounding the Monger. |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''People of Korinth! Behold the weasel that steals your bread! The scourge that spoils your crops!'' |

| | Anthousa, you kill him.= |

| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''The pleasure is all mine.'' |
| | While Kassandra turned her back and walked away. Anthousa and the ''[[Courtesan|hetaerai]]'' drew out their knifes and stabbed the Monger to death, dismembering his body. Anthousa later caught up to Kassandra. |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Feel better?'' |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''I have been starving for this.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''He deserved all of it.'' |

| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Deimos would be disappointed in you.'' |
| | Kassandra drew out her [[Spear of Leonidas|spear]] and slit the Monger's throat. |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''He is dead!'' |
| | Anthousa approached Kassandra. |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''It's time. Soak in your victory, then meet me somewhere quiet. I'll tell you all I know about your mother.'' |

| | |-|I want to take him to the cave.= |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I agree with Brasidas. I say we take him to the [[Sacred Cave]].'' |
| | Anthousa rolled her eyes and made a no gesture showing her disagreement. |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''This isn't what we planned.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''The Monger needs to be erased from existence. We'll fight him in a private place, and he'll die. A simple transaction, remember?'' |
| | *'''Anthousa:''' ''If you insist. We'll meet you at the Sacred Cave.'' |
| | Kassandra travelled to the Sacred Cave, where the Monger and his men were waiting in. |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''So it is you. A [[Tainted One|demi-god]] in the soot-and-shit streets of Korinth? Killing my men? Helping those fuckin' parasites?'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''That's me.'' |
| | *'''The Monger:''' ''Arrogant, just like your mother.'' |

| | *'''The Monger:''' ''Oh, I fuckin' knew her, all right. She was big fuckin' trouble. But I'll pay her back - when I'm done with you, I'm gonna find your matter and bring her your fuckin' head. [[Alexios|Deimos]] will wish he was watchin' this.'' |
| | *'''Kassandra:''' ''Not if I bring her yours first.'' |

| Anthousa pulled out a sharp pick and slashed The Monger with it. The other hetaerae closed in and stabbed him repeatedly as he futilely put out his hands. As Kassandra walked away from the public flaying, his left arm flew away from his body. Kassandra stopped and Anthousa ran up to her.
