This place was once an Ottoman palace, built in the Black Sea Region near the Bosporus strait. It was still there, but today it was not populated by Turkish royalty, but instead was a gathering place where people like them could socialize with their own sort and speak freely. Their sort was not common crooks or costumer criminals, but the true elites. Among them, Sebastian Shaw, billionaire industrialist and Black King of the Hellfire Club. And, he spied, also among them. . . “The magnificent Talia al Ghul, “ Shaw said, smiling as he approached the woman in question, “One of names spoken with most respect in your profession, if half the stories were true. Your beauty, though—-those, the tales certainly did not do you justice.” Shaw liked to be direct about his interests up front like that. @lievmultimuses1
