Chapter 568 The Party has started
From the very moment, Lenny saw Sam, he thought a lot of things did not add up.
After all, this was the post-apocalypse. There was a certain manner he expected certain people to behave.
He had his suspicions on her from the very moment he saw her.
For one who was supposed to be shy and reclusive, her forward attitude was a bit too much.
Besides, she kept on avoiding his gaze on her.
There was also the fact that it was extremely rare for Werewolves to imprint on humans. Even if Perseus was supposed to be that rare exception, things just didn't add up. After all, Perseus was a half-born.
This meant that instinctively, Sam's blood was supposed to reject a connection with Perseus.
This was not a fairytale story of people from totally different worlds falling in love.
In this world, love was a commodity that the greedy could not afford. Ironically, Lenny was one to believe that in one way or the other, everyone wanted something. Basically, it was every man to their needs.
The figure holding Sam gripped her tightly.
Lenny walked up to her. He sniffed a bit, "It would seem that even though you have continually pushed for the Primordial beast's agenda, you have never taken its blood."
Sam scoffed, "I do not dare to challenge the Primordial beast but I definitely would not ingest its blood for power. It is practically a binder. I rather die a free woman!"
Lenny nodded, "Good! Now you are talking. In that case, what is to happen next would be rather very easy. How about we strike a deal you and I?"
Sam raised a brow at him.
Lenny smiled at her, "Don't worry, it's one you can afford! And don't worry, long before you came here, I have already fortified this place with Runes. It might not look like it, but this room right now is practically its own pocket space. Even the primordial beast cannot eavesdrop on our conversation here... So, what do you say? Are you interested?"
Sam paused speechless as to what to say.
However, her decision had already been made.
A few minutes later, Lenny alone walked out of the room to meet Victor waiting outside.
"Come, boy, let's go! there is a party we need to attend and we are the stars."
"What of Aunt Sam?" Victor asked.
"Don't worry, she will watch our battle from here!"
"Oh, okay!" Victor followed behind Lenny without asking any more questions.
This moment right now, and here was a critical moment.
There was firstly the battle happening outside the City with the Werewolf guards and the Army of the Undead.
Secondly, there was yet another figure that steadily approached the City of Milk and Honey from yet another direction.
if that was not enough, certain old acquaintances of Lenny's were currently within the Arena. They hid in plain sight with hoodies over their heads.
Basically, this was not just a battle for the position of Alpha of the pack anymore.
Even as Lenny walked past the other luxury boxes as he advanced toward the Arena center, he could already smell the stench of blood.
"It would seem that it has already begun. Apparently, the city of Milk and Honey is not as invincible as it was made to believe." Lenny muttered in a low tone.
Victor raised his head, not understanding what Lenny was talking about.
Nevertheless, he did not ask questions.
At this point, Victor took Lenny to be the kind of big brother that he never had.
He believed that whatever Lenny was doing was for his good and the good of the City.
The anticipation for this battle was just as wild as the anticipation for the previous one between Lenny and Morgana.
Although it took the betting dens by surprise, it was no problem for them to adjust to the situation quickly.
Magic stones were placed for betting and Human marked skins exchanged hands.
Those who had predicted the previous matches accurately were already rejoicing for their newfound wealth and those who had not wept harshly.
Regardless of all that had happened, people were at the end of the day still people.
Many people wanted to make more money and dumped all their earlier wins on the table. Some others wanted to recover their losses and decided to meet loan sharks for favors.
The atmosphere was bustling as everybody showed love to those that they supported.
Lenny and Victor stepped into the Portal, and once again, they had arrived at Imperilment.
Opposite them, Curtin and Riff were also walking into Imperilment.
Meanwhile, back at the Arena, Agnes turned to Lady Vinegar. "I must say that I am impressed that your boy toy managed to survive this long. If he was in with any other person, I might have been on your side and supported his win. However, even I would not want to be in a fight against my brother.
I really hope that you are preparing that core of yours for me," Agnes licked her lips.
Lady Vinegar, with Vine taking charge of the body turned to Agnes, a smile still on her face. "If I were you, I would start looking for alternate options in life. Today is definitely the last time that Invitation stone would beat against your heart!"
Those words were like a viper's sting and it made Agnes frown. However, the moment she turned back to the screen and her eyes landed on her brother, she immediately regained her confidence.
Riff was a very big red hulk of a man. With every part of him covered with muscles that threatened to burst out of his skin, he was a person that all eyes had no choice but to gaze upon.
Even now, it was no different, compared to him, Lenny looked like a child challenging an adult.
The contrast was just too incredible.
All eyes were on the Stage. No one wanted to miss this moment. At this time, a shadow suddenly appeared beside Glenn...
