Chapter 31: The Weight of Power
It was a weird conclusion, but it was one that truly resonated with him. He knew one thing and one thing only from the countless fantasy books that he had read in all his Earth life.
It was that the strong do not need justification for their actions. It was something he was going to live by in this fantasy world that he had been dragged into.
"I never called myself righteous. You are the one that assumed that I am righteous.
I am simply living my new life without much worry and concern. On a bad day I would have ignored the slaves and ran for my life, but I couldn’t just overlook abuse on them younglings." Tim said, as his psychotic look gradually faded and returned to a serious one.
"You know, you can always join me. It does not have to end like this.
I see great talent and potential in you. If you join my crew, then I can assure you that your ascension to power would be accelerated.
Kid listen, you have to believe my words." Taz said, in a way that would make any lost kid find solace in his words.
This mini speech that he gave Tim really shocked him. Was this really the leader that was spewing stuff about him not being righteous.
How quick was he to change his tone, and the more amazing thing was that the leader was not scared of Tim even with the death of 4 of his gang members.
