Chapter 567 Tricks Under Sleeves

While the Werewolves went on to face The Undead Army that inevitably approached the City, Lenny and Victor prepared to face their own battle against Riff and Curtin.

Lenny turned the runes on Victor's armor again and again. 

There was no such thing as being over-prepared and Lenny was only making sure to the best of his abilities that the runes on Victor's armor could protect him properly when the time came. 

While he was busy, there was suddenly a knock on the door. 

Lenny paused what he was doing and turned towards the unexpected guest. It was Sam, Victor's aunt. 

The moment Victor saw her, he rushed to go hug her. "Aunty, you came!"

She embraced him a bit, stroking his hair, "Of course I came. This is my little man's big moment," she smiled at him affectionately. "Victor, if you don't mind, can I have Lenny to myself for a bit?" She asked politely.

Victor turned to Lenny and then to her. he nodded and left the room.

Lenny only raised his head a bit to look at her and then he continued his work. 

"Lenny Tales," she strolled to his side, her steps light as she sat on the stool beside him, "You know, in the demon cities and towns, they are gladiators that have heard of you and pray day and night that you come for them. They call you Saint Tales, the Demon Butcher. After that stunt you displayed under Cuban's thumb, destroying an entire town, and now in the Arena, I can definitely see a reason why."

Lenny still did not raise his head to look at her, "Samantha, you are sister to Victor's mother. The one known as the White Princess of the city of Milk and Honey. The light of the city shone solely on your sister and you were slowly left behind. Only a select few of people know that you and your sister were chosen by the primordial Beast and not just you. And even fewer know that you were the more talented one, capable of seeing and touching upon subplanes and pocket spaces that hide in plane sight." 

His words made her pause a bit and she raised a brow at him, "Since when you came till now, you have barely been in the city and yet you are able to know one of its biggest secrets, I see you are more than the rumors say." 

Lenny chuckled a bit, "Well, all I know are just rumors." His expression suddenly became serious, "Tell me, Servant of the Primordial beast, what do you want?"

She frowned, "How do you know that?" 

lenny smiled, "I figured that the pocket space that the primordial Beast resides is locked for a reason. Naturally, no matter how great the power, pocket spaces are still at their core separate. It should not be able to, but yet the Primordial beast was able to reach me. I know the primordial beast used you as a Medium. In fact, It has been using you for a long while now to cast its machinations in this world." 

Sam immediately stood to her feet, surprise was evident on her face. 

However, Lenny was not done, "Have you heard of this statement before; if you keep looking into the Abyss, after some time, it will start looking back at you. You definitely did not think of it, but When the Primordial Beast looked into my head, I was given the privilege to also see certain things in its head."

Sam controlled the surprise on her face as she summoned courage, "So what if you know, it won't matter! You are bound by the blood of the Primordial beast to hand over Victor if you win, and knowing you, you do not plan to lose."

"True, but I do not plan on letting him die either!" 

"Then you will die!" 

Lenny chuckled, "There is a lot about the world you are still ignorant of. I too was once in that situation, but you see it's not your fault, you were isolated for too long, bathing in only the company of the Primordial beast day and night."

Lenny suddenly stood up as he dropped the armor in his hands, "You know, one of them is the many privileges granted to the True Name and the one that bestows it!" 

The moment Lenny said this, a hooded figure suddenly appeared from behind her, holding her in place. 

Lenny walked towards her, he dug his hand into her gown and brought out a ruby eye the size of a small ball. This one was smaller but still similar to the one he had found in the desert. 

This was an eye of the primordial beast.

Sam tried to struggle but the grip of the person holding her in place was strong.

"The Eye of the Primordial beast forces imprintment therefore giving one the impression of true love. I know I was the one you targeted that day and not Perseus. You were just unfortunate and had to manage the one you got. But in that regard, you were greatly mistaken. You see, a gladiator would rather trust another gladiator he has gone through hell with than trust Love. 

Besides, I knew you would try again, but as you said, I was never available in the city. All the times you came for me, I was aware or just too unavailable. This right here was the last chance you'll get. But what I don't understand is why go through the trouble if you are so trusting in the primordial beast's contract?" 

Sam frowned as she answered, "You are a man all the Great Demon Powerhouses on the Fucking planet have an interest in. Even the Fates have their eyes on you, and you have grown in power like a star shooting through the star. hundreds of Years of Cultivation achieved in only under a year. the miracles attached to your name are too many not to try all methods to tie you down."

lenny nodded, "I see!"
