Chapter 34 A Little Dark Side.
?"Hey, hey, look. Is that the future son-in-law of the Ragingwave Clan?"
"Yes, he is. He still looks handsome after watching up close."
"They both make a great pair."
Many people gossiped about Lenny and Kaley as they walked on the streets.
While the maidens were talking about something else.
"Ahhh! I want him to kidnap me away."
"Hmph, who would take you? You whore who sleeps with any handsome-looking guy."
"What is wrong with that? I let them appreciate my beauty."
"Please, marry me, Lenny, and have my big, fat baby."
Jasmine, who was walking behind them, said with a smile. "Master, you are popular as usual."
"It is my hubby we are talking about. They can only be jealous." Kaley said it with smugness.
Meanwhile, Lenny thought to himself. 'People are stupid as always. They can do so many things and try to make their lives better.'
Then Kaley showed the businesses that Ragingwave owned.
Lenny came to a conclusion after seeing all of them: they were all great mixers of stupidity. They owned many kinds of businesses, from clothing to selling slaves. There are all kinds of things that don't make sense. He also found out what the other two overlords owned.
They were also the same!
'It looks like they are doing a stupid competition in here too. But they don't see they are just robbing people's earnings.' Lenny couldn't help but lament.
Because he asked Kaley how much tax they had to give, and she told him it was 60%. Lenny almost cursed out loud when he heard that. 'This is a fucking daylight robbery!'
After Kaley had introduced Lenny to their businesses, he wanted to leave for home and cultivate.
But on the way, they passed by an alleyway, and a roll of bread suddenly hit Lenny's feet.
He looked to his side to see a boy with tattered clothes and dirt all around his body. There was a dirty stench coming out of him.
The boy looked up at them with fear, hesitating to get that bread that seemed to be his.
"Hmph, go aw- ." Kaley was about to scream to shoo him away, but Lenny stopped her. She asked.
Lenny said with his cold face."Come here, kid."
The boy took small steps and walked toward him. Lenny crouched down and picked up the bread. He presented it in front of the boy, and the boy moved faster.
After the boy took the bread in his hand, he was about to run away. But Lenny stopped him. "Hey, kid. Mind if you could share some of your bread with me?"
Kaley became surprised and questioned."Why would you want such a dirty thing?"
Lenny didn't say anything; he just turned his head at her and glared at her with killing intent. Kaley shuddered and stood there like a puppet.
Lenny turned his back to the boy and said."Don't you want to share with me?"
The boy gulped and mustered up his courage. "Wh- why do you wa- want mine? Yo- you can have all the delicious meals at a restaurant."
"Kid," Lenny called him, which made the boy raise his head and look straight into Lenny's eyes. "I have a weird taste. Do you have a problem if I just eat a small piece of your tasty bread?"
"My bread, tasty?" The boy was confused as he had never heard his picked-up bread would be tasty other than his mother.
"Will you share it with me or not?" Lenny asked again.
The boy nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He tore almost half of the bread and gave it to Lenny. Lenny himself didn't expect this boy to give so much. The way the boy was it looked like he was not able to eat a proper thing for two days and now he was giving his maybe last ration to Lenny and such a big portion at that.
Lenny took it and gave it a big bite, not caring about the foul stench and dirt that were on it. Even though it tasted bad and felt nothing, he dumped it in his stomach. He nudged the boy. "Eat yours too. Let's see who can finish first."
The moment he said that, the boy quickly started eating it. The boy really ate at such a fast rate that Lenny lost. The boy jumped for joy after seeing there was still some bread left in Lenny's hand. "I won! I won!"
Seeing this, Jasmine giggled out loud. "What a cute kid!"
On the other hand, Kaley didn't understand what was happening. From birth, she was told she was superior and it was a bad thing to mix with people like these. Instead, they should worship her and cower in fear of her power.
At that moment, a woman came out of the shadows cast by the alley. She had soulless eyes, and her hair was stoic and messed up. She had little cloth to cover herself with.
"Naile, what are you doing here? Stay away from them." She rushed up and quickly distanced her son from them. Then she went to the ground and begged. "Please, forgive my son. He is a dumb kid, he didn't do anything to you!"
Her action and shout attracted everyone's attention. Not just the pedestrian on the street, but people who emerged from the alleyway who looked like the mother and son, malnourished and with no hope to live.
Lenny gave a helpless sigh and stood up. He started walking away. "Let's go."
After they left the crowd, Kaley asked. "Why do you have to treat those people nicely? Now, look and see that they were not respecting you properly."
Lenny frowned the moment he heard Kaley say that. Jasmine spoke on Lenny's behalf. "Master is not like you guys, Miss Kaley, who treat people like nothing. He has grown up with great values, unlike you."
"Why you? You are jus- ." Kaley was about to yell at Jasmine when Lenny stopped them.
"Stop it. Don't ever fight against each other like that." Lenny said as he halted his steps. He turned his head to see a three-story restaurant.
