Chapter 467 Victor’s Grand mother



Chapter 467 Victor\'s Grand mother

Victor seemed to know these parts well, as he navigated through them with ease. Some of the locals even sent greetings his way while looking at Lenny with prejudice in their eyes.

Impressively enough, they were not attacked by the obviously hungry bunch.

Lenny recognized that it was because of Moses\'s identity as a guard, screaming clearly from his bronze armor.

Victor pulled the cart along himself, even though the road was rough and uneven.

He had insisted on this even though Moses was his aide with respect to the man\'s physical condition.

Although his wounds had healed significantly, there was still a long way to go.

For this reason, Victor, with his identity as a young master, pulled the cart himself as he walked ahead of them.

Lenny took note of this and was really surprised.

"Impressive, right?" Moses asked, walking beside Lenny.

"He has always been like that—selfless. His mother and Sam actually came from these parts. He has never once forgotten his roots."

Lenny turned to Moses, "But I thought his mother was a werewolf."

"Yes, she was. It\'s not just humans that live in the bitter streets, you know.

There are those who had parents who sinned a long time ago, and now they can never go back into the city.

It is a law that a person found guilty of disobeying certain laws of the land must be outlawed. The children they produce after the crime is committed must also suffer with them.

In the many years of the city\'s reign, Aurthur\'s mother was the first person to ever receive a pardon and be welcomed back into the city."

Lenny nodded. "And it was all because the primordial beast chose her, right?"

"Yes, however, she did not agree to go unless her sister was to come with her, and even after that, she still came back here to give help to those who had been left behind. This is a tradition of hers that Victor picked up for himself."

As Lenny listened to Moses, Victor stopped before a particular rough-looking house.

This house was just as bad-looking as one could imagine.

However, considering the place, it actually looked better than most others did.

In fact, if Lenny were to compare this house to the standards of this place, he would say that whoever lived in it was more of a powerful figure in this place.

The moment they arrived, Victor excitedly walked up to the door and knocked on it.

"Mama Chelle, it\'s Victor; I brought..." Victor\'s words got stuck in his throat at the sight of the person he was searching for the moment the door opened on its own.

However, this was no longer a person but a corpse.

From the looks of it, the old woman struggled for her life as the assailants cut her guts open to steal any organs, although they were aged, and any organs they still thought to be of any value were taken.

From the look of her corpse, it was about a few days old.

Victor fell on his knees as tears welled up in his eyes. "I\'m sorry, mama Chelle!"

Moses heard the crying and entered the room, only to be greeted by the flies and the terrible stench of the corpse.

"What happened here?" Lenny asked on entry.

"That was his grandma." Unlike his mother and Sam, she was not granted immunity back into the city." Moses explained...

However, Victor\'s mother and Aunty made a good reputation for themselves within the city, which granted their mother—victor\'s grandmother respect on Bitter Street.

Even after his mother\'s death, many still respected Mama Chelle.

After all, both daughters would regularly bring gifts and goods for her that would be distributed to the people around the street.

Lenny nodded upon hearing this. "In other words, both daughters also used charity here as a means of preserving their old mother\'s life. After all, if the old woman was left to have a good life in this unforgiving place, then food for the surrounding people would be secured."

Victor nodded as the tears fell from his eyes.

Lenny came closer and observed the corpse acting as if the pungent smell from the corpse was the sweet, refreshing smell of rose.

A feat that made Moses look at him with respect.

"This was done only recently, Lenny commented."

"How could this be? I did not come to visit for only these few days when... Victor swallowed his remaining words. After all, even after returning from the failed marriage proposal, he had planned to run away without telling anyone.

And now he had lost his grandmother.

Victor could not help but blame himself for this. "If I had not planned to runaway and just come here instead, maybe she would have still been alive."

Tears fell from his eyes as his fingers squeezed into his knees.

Just then, Lenny\'s perception ability could feel a strange movement from behind them.

It was from the shadows.

This particular person seemed to have merged with the faint shadow, regardless of the rising sun.

Lenny could also feel the radiating killing intent from this person.

It was wild, but still well masked to blend with the environment.

Even Moses, with his wealth of experience, could not feel it.

However, Lenny could. In fact, Lenny chuckled at the thought of it.

After all, this person was using the skill of his trade, hiding through the little shadow, to deliver a deadly strike.

From the movement pattern, Lenny could predict the trajectory of the attack, and it was clear that the aim was Victor.

Victor was the child of an alpha, and at this moment, he was considered a valuable part of the city, especially because he was participating in the Alpha Selection Tournament.

The tournament forbade those that were participating from harming one another, whether directly or indirectly.

However, certain rules only applied within the city and not outside it.

Basically, whoever it was that sent this person knew that Victor was going to come here and might also be responsible for this...
