Then Julius hunted them all down and had them crucified. Just like he promised them he would. When he told the men to raise the ransom, it was because he believed (and PROVED), that he wasn't someone you pushed around. And that was back before he went mad with power. You look at most people who worked their way to power then burned out, and you'll see that they were brutally cunning and cunningly brutal when they were growing in power. Not men you fucked with.
