Nabiki began to back away. "I don't particularly want to be a villain."
"Too late, my dear," said the serpent man. "Your heart is already as black as pitch. You've sold out every shred of morality that your society holds dear. Blackmail, pornography, gambling? What of any of the couples whom you've sabotaged? Why, you haven't been above any shady deals - including the manufacture of evidence that you've used to destroy people?
