Lenny laughed along with Washboard.
However, in Truth, he was smiling at the reward from the System.
He had gotten by by the skin of his teeth without resorting to violence.
Lenny had used the principle of the carrot and the stick.
In this case, carrot, then stick, and once more Carrot.
Lenny was a man who understood the foundational thought processes of people.
There was one thing he was sure of about people in power:
They loved to take and take.
They never had enough, and if they could take it without consequences, it was even better.
The only time they managed to skim through the pages of their dictionary was when they were dealing with a person of equal or superior power.
It was truly the only time that they managed to play fair.
Since Lenny could not use his speciality, 'Violence,' he was subject to playing the ball on Washboard's terms.
With the imbalance of power, those were not very good terms, and Lenny knew this.
Even if he had entered this place saying that he was Nicky's husband, it would have still ended in the same manner.
Then again, he suspected that these people had thrown away respect for such mortal traditions a long time ago.
This was proven when Father Black clearly stated that it had been many years since anyone had talked about anything like marriage.
This was within expectations for the post-apocalypse.
For this reason, Lenny decided to sweeten the deal with a backup that did not even know that he was a backup.
However, Father Black had already been pleased with him. Going so far as to even call him son-in-law.
This was a tag that proved that he was pleased with Lenny, so why not?
The moment Lenny used Father Black as his backer, he was suddenly elevated to a status that allowed him to speak to Washboard on equal terms.
In this manner, there was the benefit of meat on the one hand and the threat of a problem on the other.
Wisdom is a gift that naturally comes with age.
Washboard was such a man. If there was no need for a fight, he would rather not pick one.
Besides, he knew the kind of person that Father was.
He also knew the current state of the town. After all, he benefited greatly from it.
This was especially true since Father Black was mostly at the gate these days, defending against intruders.
This created opportunities for him to exploit the people.
'Bear' was from another town. However,he was able to get in. This really spoke highly of his value.
This was an attribute of men in power.
They were always willing to become friends with other men in power.
Besides, he too could not help but wonder what kind of meat Lenny had brought him.
Even before the apocalypse, he had never tested meat like this.
Lenny laughed loudly with Washboard, "And what of Dolly?" He pointed at the car.
"Of course, that useless car. You can have her."
Washboard waved his hands, Hey, someone get my brother's wife down from that thing. How can you assholes be so foolish and wicked? Do you want me to cut your liver out? And somebody, please get Dolly ready for our guest."
"With an extra tank of fuel," Lenny added.
However, Washboard's eye twitched at this. But he still permitted it.
"Of course, of course! As long as little brother would not mind some more meat."
"Oh, you mean this?" Lenny pulled yet more meat from his back.
Now, Washboard's curiosity had peaked. He just could not figure out where Lenny kept pulling out the meat from.
After all, when he hugged him just now, he had checked, but nothing had been there.
As both men laughed like true brothers, Scarface was left to watch them with a lot of questions in his mind.
However, it was at this point that a new set of guests arrived at the big gates of Father Black's Town.
They did not rush, taking their time as they moved.
There were two women.
One of them was the slim one, with a lot of sensitive areas revealed, including her buttcheeks.
She sat on the back of the second witch, who at this moment was in the form of a giant spider.
Gently, they approached the gate.
The man who had bet his mother for the night was lamenting his bad luck when he saw their steady approach.
The moment he saw them, he was aware of their appearance.
Father Black was enjoying some demon meat when he saw this.
His dogs slowly began to gather, surrounding the giant spider.
Such a guest was none they had ever had, and these dogs were not respected for their size.
"Sister Goodness! I really don't like dogs. Should I squash them?" The giant Spider asked her fellow witch.
"Don't worry, Sister Baddieness. I am sure that our hosts will not be so dumb as to try anything funny. Besides, we are still in Ciri's Territory. It is already a wonder that she has not arrived to cause us much trouble. I suggest we do not start a slaughter just yet!"
"Hmmm!" Baddieness nodded in understanding.
However, they still advanced towards the gate.
At the moment, Baddieness was the size of two trucks.
Every movement she made made the earth reverberate underneath her.
She continued to advance, paying the dogs no attention as she stopped right before the gate.
Father Black looked at both women. He frowned and rubbed his brows as he waved his hand, sending very particular hand signals to the men.
Instantly, they all rushed to get their weapons.
In only a few seconds, there were already guns pointed at the Witches.
"That's rather rude!" Baddieness commented.
"I agree; they are already pointing their rods at us without an invitation for a date. Men these days have lost all chivalry."
"What can I do for you, lady?" Father Black asked.
(Author's note: What!? Don't blame me; I ran out of names for them. (???). Enjoy please)
