Chapter 468 The Real world

"The young master is right. This should not have happened. At least she was one of the chiefs here. She is supposed to be highly respected, especially because of the condition of the food here." Moses added.

"Well, whoever it was, that person seems to have their eyes on you."

The moment Lenny said this, the figure in the shadows moved.

The speed at which the figure moved was incredible, with flexibility that was also impressive.

The shadow did not go for Lenny or Moses.

Instead, he snaked through their middle and headed straight for Victor.

The movement of the shadow was one of incredible precision.

If Lenny had not been a person who was sensitive to shadows, then he, like Moses, would not have noticed this.

However, he did.

This assassin did not come with a blade. No, it was the blade itself as it's mouth opened wide, revealing black, uneven teeth that threatened to sink into Victor's neck.

There was nothing behind Victor, but the shadow on the wall revealed this.

However, just before it would partake of Victor's flesh, Lenny's fingers moved, shooting blades directly at the shadow and impaling it into the wall.

It screeched eeriely as it struggled in pain.

The sudden development of things made Victor fall on his ass.

Surprisingly, the creature still sought to lunge forward for him.

Lenny grabbed Victor by his clothes, pulling him back and away from the figure.

Then again, Victor was already kicking against the ground in fear.

Moses saw this, and his hand revealed his claws as he stabbed them into the wall.

Instantly, the creature was dead.

It materialized from the wall as if to pop into reality.

Unlike what Lenny thought, this was not a person. This was a creature.

This creature was terrible-looking.

It was disgustedly disfigured.

It's scrawny hands were where it's eyes were supposed to be, and it's eyes were where it's mouth was supposed to be.

Its mouth was on its chest, and other parts were just as disfigured.

This creature shriveled on the ground a bit, and then it was gone.

Just like that, it disappeared.

"What was that?" Moses asked.

"It's chief Matin!" A voice came from behind them.

At the door was a girl in rags who looked to be about Victor's age.

Instinctively, Lenny wanted to attack again.

But he was stopped by Victor.

"Wait! She is a friend." Victor stepped forward for her.

"Dali, who did you say did this?" Victor asked.

"It's Chief Matin. After the incident with the octopus the other day, he has killed other chiefs in order to take over the entire east side of Bitter Street."

"Where is he now?" Victor asked.

"He is at the abandoned port side! He and his crew have taken over..."

A smile suddenly appeared on her face, and a knife was launched at him from her side.

However, just before it would reach, a hand had grabbed it.

It was Lenny's.

This took Victor by surprise, and he backed away.

However, she still struggled to lean forward in order to stab him.

Her expression was that of a crazy person, relentlessly trying to kill him.

Lenny kicked the girl to the ground, and then, with a frown, he waved another knife to stab her and end her misery.

However, Victor jumped to his feet to stop him again.

"Please don't kill her! She didn't mean to..."

"WHAT!?" Lenny glared at him.

"I am sure there is a perfect explanation for this. Dali has been my friend since we were little. I know her, she wouldn't harm..."

"Fuck you!" Dali cursed.

This pulled all the attention in the room to her.

"You live in your stone walls of milk and honey, and then you bring us scarps to enjoy. What! Once a week? And you think we are friends? You do not know how I have always despised you. Why was I not born through your mother's womb? I would have done a much better job of living than you fucking..."

PUSSHHH!

Lenny stepped on her head, smashing it like a hammer to a watermelon.

Her brain juices scattered everywhere, adding to the existing mess in the room.

"No! Why did you do that? I told you she was my friend."

"Yes, that's exactly the reason I killed her. A friend who wants to kill you can no longer be your friend."

It was at this time that Lenny looked outside.

There were more people coming. They had even looted the cart outside.

Some of them had clubs, and some others had blades.

These were all normal people, malnourished and looking more like a bunch of skeletons, but their eyes carried an incredible zeal for slaughter.

Victor also saw this.

These people, many of them, he had greeted on the way here.

Ever since he was little, they had always treated him with kindness, but now there was nothing but pure hostility in their eyes.

Victor was at a loss for words. "What... What did I...?" Victor's eyes were filled with tears.

Lenny looked at the young boy and could not help but shake his head at the level of ignorance about the real world that the young lad had.

In fact, he almost found it annoying, and yet at the same time, he found it incredible.

After all, Victor might have grown up in the land of milk and honey, but he was still in the waste land and undoubtedly had experienced some of it.

To be in such an unforgiving world and still have such a heart was practically a miracle.

And this boy was trying to become Alpha? Lenny could already see a future where many people took advantage of the kind heart of this boy.
