The triads are what they call gangs here in my home.
The triad has it history in toppling governments in history.
They were people of honor.
That honor was passed down.
Even though they might not do things legally, but they respect their honor code.
If you made a mistake, the code will have a punishment for you. They call that the family law. There are many rules that one follow in the triad.
For some triad, fingers were chopped off, but for this triad, your bones are broken. If you made a mistake, they will break a bone on you. If you question the boss, you get your ankles broken.
If you borrow money from them, one of the most important rule is, the debt must be paid, interest and all.
She borrowed from a triad that made their mark in loan shark business. But the pandemic is hard on everyone. She couldn't repay them and went into hiding. That was a big mistake. She should have talked to them and find a way to repay them. But she chose to ghost them and the triad need to send a message.
She was taken into the boss' room. He likes to watch when the punishment is being carried out. They know they are not getting their money back yet but the interest must be repaid. For each month of late payment, a leg is broken. If she is late for another month, the other leg goes. if she is late again, both arms will be broken.
You might be curious what would happen if she is late again. The answer is simple, her legs would have been healed by then and her limbs would be broken again and again and again until she makes her payments on time.
So, take her in and hold her in place for her punishment. Remember to put a sock in her mouth this time, she was so noisy last month
