Chapter 724 An Unfortunate Fate.
Lenny's voice was loud, ensuring that every human in their hiding place could hear him loud and clear: "I am lenny Tales, and I bring you the joy of a Glorious Slaughter!"
From deep within the run down buildings, humans could hear his voice. Men, women, and children.
They could hear Lenny's voice.
There were many who did not want to believe what they had just heard and remained in their hiding positions. They were others, especially those closest to the central region, who had the opportunity to see through their windows and other openings and could clearly see the mountain of demon corpses that was at the center of the town.
Curiosity was an interesting thing.
Slowly, step by step, they came out of hiding. They could all clearly see that the demons that had oppressed them for a very long time were all dead.
The sight of such a thing was to be celebrated. After all, they had suffered for a long time.
Till this moment, lenny remained floating in mid-air, alongside the Werewolves.
There were many that came out, and immediately they sighted Lenny. They went on their knees, singing praises to his name.
After all, lenny Tales was a legend on his own.
Just then, an old-looking man walked forward with his walking stick in hand. The moment he saw the corpse at the center, he did not praise or thank Lenny. Instead, he turned to him. His voice was loud as he spoke.
"Why? Why would you do such a thing? You are supposed to be a messiah. Do you hate us so much, or are our lives nothing but SHIT before your eyes?"
As the old man spoke, those worshipping and thanking shut up to listen.
Even Lenny was compelled to listen.
"You think that you have saved us? Tell me. What do you think will happen when you are gone? After all, in the center of this town is Cuban's territory mark. Once you leave, more demons will come. How do you think that they will treat us, knowing that you came and killed all of their kin.
Is it that you cannot see it, or that you are just stupid? How do you expect us to be able to defend ourselves against the demons when they come back?
There will be no one to protect us, and we will be nothing but lambs for the slaughter."
The old man turned to the people, "Or have you all forgotten so soon? We suffered for many years, and we were banned from practicing magic. What do you think will happen to us once he discovers that we were here when his demons were killed?"
The old man's words resonated in the hearts of everyone present.
The truth was that no one had thought far. No one until the old man. And now that they thought about it, it was true.
After all, Lenny was going to leave with his warriors, and by the cosmic rule, this land still belonged to Cuban.
Although it looked as if Lenny had saved them, in truth, he might have actually sealed their Fate.
The old man continued. "At least, we have lived with them for so long. Ten years, to be exact. As long as we obeyed their rules and regulations, we were spared. But now, you have doomed our Fate."
As he said these words, he pointed his finger at lenny, "you came to Dam us all to hell!"
His words resonated with the others, and in no time, everyone started to point accusing fingers at Lenny.
"If you really wanted to save us, why did you not come to save us years ago? Why did you not come when our brothers and sisters died? Why now? Do you hate us so much? Now that we finally leave in peace with the demons, you come to claim that you have freed us."
These were just a few of the words that were thrown around.
And before lenny knew it, accusing fingers were pointed at him.
Some threw trash at him, and some others stones.
And the entire plaza had suddenly become frantic, with screams and stones raining down on Lenny and his werewolves.
The sight of this annoyed Allison and the others, and they wanted to act.
In fact, If Lenny had not stopped them, they might have gone down there to slaughter the entire population.
Lenny stood in the air, watching what was happening below. He could not help but shake his head as he turned and floated away. "Let's go!" he ordered in a soft, melancholic tone.
Surely, what had just happened had affected him in a way and he was trying his best to hold it back, at least as much as he could.
After all, he had come to free them but they had cursed his name instead.
The old Lenny would have declared a slaughter instead.
However, as much as Lenny did not want to admit it, he had changed a bit. Although, that did not mean that he had suddenly become soft.
It was just that he was now more understanding of the human heart.
Then again, he was an assassin by nature. Such a plea like the ones those people had was something that he understood. As a killer, he understood them very well.
This could not be helped. After all, what they had said was true. If Cuban came back with his demons, what was going to happen next?
Without a doubt, a river of blood would flow just to realign the populace.
Besides, it was not as if he could evacuate the entire city. Luca's territory had moved.
These men and women would have no choice but to fend for themselves. to make matters worse, they could not even escape into the wasteland.
The mutated creatures there would thank the stars for the free food before they totally devoured the humans.
Lenny could see it clearly. He had actually doomed these people to an unfortunate fate...
