Chapter 472 Why do you want to be Alpha?
By now, the sun was hanging significantly in the sky.
The dry waste land with its golden sand looked like a heap of treasures when seen from afar.
It was indeed a beautiful sight, however, not all that was beautiful was actually beautiful.
These golden sands were peppered with creatures that hated any intruder on their sands or would not care less and immediately rushed for the meal to quench their own starvation.
The wastelands were the right definition of the beauty and yet splendid horror that was mother nature.
And yet, Lenny, Victor, and Moses walked along the sides of its jaws without a care in the world.
The reason they did not just follow through Bitter Street to get to their destination was because the attacks were just unending.
Even though the people of the bitter street could clearly see that no matter who attacked, they fainted ten feet from Victor and his small party as a result of Lenny's killing intent, they still tried again and again.
Each one trying more boldly than the other.
Sometimes it was even children, and other times it was the elderly.
Survival of the fittest was the most affordable rule in this place, and most were willing to claim that title.
Nevertheless, Lenny did not mind releasing his killing intent into the environment.
Watching the people fall as they did gave a kind of vain satisfaction about the growth of his power. One that a part of him loved on a subconscious level.
However, Victor did not like seeing this.
Surprisingly, even though these people tried to kill him over and over again, he still behaved like a friend towards them.
He treated them like family members who had lost their way and only needed guidance to get back on the right path.
It made Lenny wonder if the boy was intentionally acting ignorant or just plain stupid.
With Victor's suggestion, they all decided to walk by the edge of Bitter Street with few to no people.
After all, this place bordered the unforgiving sands of the wastelands that were packed with creatures whose jaws had teeth capable of making human bones look like biscuits soaked in tea.
Even though they all tried their best to kill Victor regardless of the fact that others before them fell, they were not so stupid as to do it while Victor and his party teased the creatures of the waste land by navigating through the edge of their territory.
Most people just watched from a distance, scared of what was going to happen.
Unlike humans, however, the beasts of the wastelands were respecters of the strong.
The moment they got close, their senses told them that Lenny was strong, and they backed away.
allowing the party of three to have a peaceful stroll.
The black street was an expanse of foreign-occupied land that went around the city of milk and honey, wide and encompassing.
From above, it looked more like an extra ring to protect the city.
According to the information they had gathered through the use of minimal violence, at the request of Victor, of course, the location of Martin had been discovered, and they were going to pay him a visit.
However, as they did, Lenny could not help but turn to Victor.
"You know, I never asked this before, but just out of curiosity, why do you want to become Alpha? You are clearly not suited for the position."
Moses heard this and wanted to speak up, but Victor raised a hand to stop him.
"Honestly, I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I don't think I want to. At least not before. In fact, that day the giant octopus attacked. I was planning on running away, but..." He sighed, "Even Fate won't let me run.
Curtin believes I am a big threat because of my pure bloodline, and the elders think I'm a piece they can comfortably manipulate.
On the other hand, my mother wanted me to become Alpha and did everything in her power to make sure that I had sufficient strength to take on the fight when the trail for the position of Alpha arrived."
Lenny nodded. "And what exactly do you want?"
"I... I don't know, I want to stay alive. I want to survive. I want to walk on the damn street and not feel the approach of death around my neck for whatever reason.
I mean, I'm only fifteen. I didn't even get the chance to play when I was little because of the constant reminder that I carried and should represent my father's image. A man that I only remember seeing once in my life."
Victor sighed once more. "I just want to be free. Enjoy seeing the beauty of the world." His eyes looked into the horizon of the golden sands of the wasteland, and in his head, he imagined going on an adventure and discovering the world.
Instantly, Lenny grabbed him by the shirt, and then, with a fling of his hands, he threw Victor far away from the border and into the wastelands.
This action of Lenny's had taken Moses by surprise.
"Young Master!!!" Moses screamed and lunged forward, but Lenny suddenly turned to him, punching him in the stomach.
The punch was not a hard one, but Moses already had terrible internal injuries that were still far from healing.
That punch was enough to knock him out, but Moses gritted his teeth as he persevered, his knees falling to the ground.
Still Gritting his teeth hard, he turned to Lenny "What the fuck do you think you are doing? He is going to die out there!"
"Really? Tsk, tsk, tsk. Well, you don't say.
I think you should worry more about yourself." Lenny grinned as he watched Moses cough out blood.
He turned his eyes to Victor, far off in the distance.
Victor's landing had been rough. However, this was sand—a lot of it.
His fall did no damage to him.
With difficulty, he stood to his feet.
Suddenly, it dawned on him where he was.
After all, this was home to mutated beasts...
