Chapter 466 Bitter Street

Lenny followed Victor and Moses, helping them with the gifts.

Only a little while after there were gone, Sam stepped out into the open.

One step at a time, she walked up, and into the compound area.

Perseus was still hard at his training, his stench and painful groans filling the entire court yard.

Perseus understood how his body worked.

He was a Gladiator and their type grew under pressure.

This was pressure he had been really lacking for a while, especially because most problems were solved by Lenny.

Since there was no pressure, then he was going to simulate one.

Suddenly, he heard a light alluring voice, "you really want to be strong, don't you?"

He turned to discover that it was Sam.

Her appearance surprised him and he instinctively dropped the boulder strapped to his back.

Perseus set his eyes on her and he could not stop staring.

Sam was not a beauty comparable to the likes of Vinegar, but she was not bad either.

With her nerdy round glasses and ponytail, she had an almost innocent charm about her that naturally pulled eyes to her.

At least it pulled Perseus's eyes.

She was a head shorter than him but she was taller than most women.

Her simple dress was nothing of luxury and though quite plain, simple could be elegantly beautiful in the eyes of the beholder.

Perseus nodded at her, "yes I do!"

"I... I am sorry for my behavior yesterday!" She looked in the direction Lenny had gone, "I don't like him at all."

Perseus shook his head, "me too!"

As he talked, Sam noticed the blood and sweat still dripping from his well gladiator curved body.

Perseus's eyes were red with pain from the torture of the Sun's uncle, but he acted as if it was a walk in the pack for him.

"That looks very painful."

Perseus nodded, "it is, but it is necessary!"

She fumbled with her porcelain fingers a bit as she tried to hide the fact that she had been admiring his body. After all, Perseus was only wearing a loin cloth.

"Will you like to go on a date with me?" She suddenly asked.

Perseus looked at her with raised brows, obviously interested in what she had to say. But he was a gladiator, he did not know what a date was.

Nevertheless, he could easily tell that she had her eyes on him.

Although not too sure, she did say 'with me'.

Meaning that he would be able to spend time with her.

Without wasting anytime, he nodded in agreement.

He stepped forward, however, she stepped back, "you need to clean up first!"

.....

Meanwhile, Lenny followed Victor and Moses.

After renting out a cart, they proceeded on their journey, towards the city gates.

The walls surrounding this mighty city were as high as ever.

Towards the particular gate exit they were to take, Lenny could clearly see that the damage that had been done to the wall the other day when the mutated octopus attacked was still under repairs.

These people apparently worked fast, as most of the damage had already been patched up.

Leaving the city of milk and honey was as easy as it had always been.

But entering was where the main problem resided.

Nevertheless, on seeing Victor, the guards made way for them to pass, even looking at Lenny respectable this time around.

After all, many of them could still remember his face from the previous day.

There was also the additional fact that he still carried the symbol from the blood of the Primordial beast on his forehead, signifying that he was a fighter for someone with the potential to become Alpha.

After the events of the other day with the giant octupus, Lenny expected that outside the city would by now be empty of people.

After all, many had died that day, but he soon realised that he had been very mistaking about that.

This place was filled with people two times the number before the Giant Octopus attack.

They had practically doubled in only a few days, greatly surprising even Victor and Moses.

Lenny understood that this place outside the city, filled with hundreds of people gathered from all sides of the wastelands was what was known as the Bitter Street.

These people lived a terrible existence out here.

Many of them made houses made from ship wreck parts, attaching them to the walls of the city for support.

Although a good part of this place had been destroyed after the attack from the Giant octopus, human beings proved to be as tenacious as cockroaches still managing to survive like the deaths that happened were a long time ago.

As they advanced forward through the rough streets, Lenny realized that this place was a slum, but not the normal kind.

It had a more dangerous vibe to it, and that was not just because of the fact that there were some houses made out of the bones of those that had only died recently, or the fact that children could be seen playing with a rotting skull, or that some people used dried human flesh as clothes.

Then again, this was the Bitter street, these people lived at the grass root of survival itself.

According to Moses, nothing went to waste here, not even the dead or feaces.

Kidnapping was a daily occurrence as the starvation level pushed many into cannibalism.

Mothers always had hawk eyes on their children. Most times, it was not to protect them from those that wanted to kill and eat them, but to ensure that the children were well, so that in case in the future there was no food, the mother's and father's could feast on the flesh of their own children.

Survival was the only law and power was the only entity that was respected.

This was a side of the Wastelands that even Lenny had not seen.

After all, he had only been to the desert and then a port or two.

Now, he understood why it was called the Wastelands.

Even from the eyes of those that looked at him, he could tell that if he mistakenly fell here that he was wounded or the like, these people would instantly loot his organs.
