Chapter 130 Capital Gains

'Valentin, Valentin... You just make everything easier for me...' Lothur thought, looking cautiously at Valentin.

Previously he had planned to disguise himself when he arrived near Valentin's residence so that he could teach this fellow a lesson.

Of course, he also intended to rob the person who had made him spend hundreds of coins on an investigation and made him wait for days for the sale of the spider parts.

But Lothur did not intend to kill his opponent since, without revealing his identity, it would be impossible for the other party to identify him. On the other hand, Valentin's mistake had not been so severe that he deserved to die.

He deserved a lesson, but that was all!

However, since Valentin was willing to kill a poor student who was not even capable of cultivating for simple revenge, this situation was totally different. In this case, Lothur would show no mercy even if the person in front of him was innocent.

Those who try to take his life naturally could only expect the same from him!

With this, when Valentin exposed his thoughts of eliminating him, Lothur immediately stood in a defensive position, his hands close to the daggers hidden in his clothes.

The other party did not know about Lothur's abilities, so he intended to solve the problem quickly with a surprise attack. That way, he did not take the ax in his spatial ring. Instead, he prepared to activate his defensive and movement techniques when his opponent came closer.

'Valentin can be a danger to me in terms of dexterity and strength. But, unfortunately for him, dexterity and strength are useless if the other party has faster reactions and is underestimated.' He looked cautiously at the person running against him, making an expression of fear on his face to deceive his opponent.

Meanwhile, Valentin had a smile on his face as he ran toward Lothur, holding his sword in his two hands.

'I'll cut this idiot in half!' He thought about it, already envisioning his victory.

Lothur slowly moved his fingers through his clothes and prepared himself. 'Hmm, I'll use my speed to react to his attack at the last second and then attack him at his sensitive points.'

'My attack probably won't be enough to kill him in a single movement, so I'll incapacitate him first!'

After Lothur thought about what to do to get rid of Valentin without risk or delay, and when this man was only 2 meters away from him, the silver-haired young man moved.

He quickly picked up the first two daggers hidden in his clothes and threw them, aiming at two different points on Valentin.

The first went directly into the man's left eye, while the second flew into the left side of Valentin's neck.

Then, after Lothur threw his daggers and began to move with his movement technique, Valentin finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake.

When he saw the speed with which Lothur threw those daggers at him, Valentin immediately realized that his opponent was not a simple mortal like everyone thought!

No, this fellow was even faster than him, a 4th Transformation cultivator!

Sensing that, this former Morning Star Academy staff member felt a chill run down his spine while cold sweat began to drip down his back.

'Damn it!'

'That bastard was hiding!' He swallowed his saliva in fear, but it was already too late.

Without having prepared for a counterattack from his opponent, Valentin was defenseless as to the attack even faster than his maximum speed. In this case, this man was hit one second after noticing Lothur's movement!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" He cried out loudly as he felt one of the daggers passing at speed through one side of his neck while the other pierced one of his eyes.

At that instant, he suddenly stopped running, dropping the sword in his hands to place his hands on his eye and neck.

'Damn it!'

"Ahhhhhhhhh!" He noticed the blood leaving his body from the cut on his neck while his eye hurt so that he could barely think.

But to Valentin's misfortune, Lothur had not stood by and watched his opponent suffer.

No, immediately after throwing his daggers, this young man used a lot of his energy to move sideways, shortly afterward rushing to Valentin's back.

After doing so, in a split second, an ax appeared in his hands, and he used all the remaining strength in his body to hit the top of Valentin's head.

Puff!

One of the blades of Lothur's double ax pierced Valentin's skull with force, suddenly causing the man's entire body to stop.

At that instant, a blank look filled Valentin's eyes as his cries of pain ceased, and his body lost its balance.

As Lothur pulled the ax on his enemy's head, blood squirted out of that cut as that body slowly fell forward.

Valentin had finally died!

"Sigh!"

'To be underestimated is truly amazing!' Lothur looked at the body before him and felt how easy it was to defeat a fool.

He probably would have had to fight for a few minutes to beat this opponent if he had not been underestimated. Not only that, but Valentin's attributes were not much different from Lothur's, and that man had much more experience than this young man.

Therefore, the danger of this fight to Lothur would be significant!

Unfortunately for Valentin, he knew nothing about Lothur, having put himself in that passive position that led him to the darkness of death.

Finally, after finishing with this opponent, Lothur looked around the street to see if anyone had seen him. Then, realizing no one was in the vicinity, he quickly stored Valentin's body in his spatial ring and headed for the nearby woods.

'I hope this fellow's items are with him, not in his house...' He pondered as he ran to his destination, regretting that such a person had come against him.

Now that he had killed Valentin, it would be risky for Lothur to show up at the home of someone who would soon be reported missing. In this case, any item of value in Valentin's house was now beyond the reach of this young man.

Therefore, Lothur could only pray that such an enemy had been cautious enough to always keep his items of value with him while he was alive. Otherwise, that young man would naturally not have the best harvest from this situation!

...

While he had already disappeared from that street, some people from the surrounding properties left their buildings, looking from one side of the street to the other in curiosity.

"Did you hear those screams, or am I going crazy?" One of them asked the person from the warehouse across the street.

"No, I heard screams of desperation too. It only lasted a few seconds but was enough to alert me." The other person said as he strangely looked at his surroundings.

"That..."

"Maybe something happened in one of the neighboring buildings?" Another person asked since there were no noticeable traces on that street.

After those words, they looked at each other in silence, realizing it was best to ignore the matter.

If there was a body, they could do something about it. But without evidence, who would want to get involved in such a matter? Murders were not uncommon, and hell, they were just mortals.

So, without further trouble, those people soon returned to their jobs, leaving that street empty.

...

After disposing of Valentin's body as he had done with past enemies, Lothur returned to the Frost estate smiling.

He had been lucky enough to get a ring filled with items of value for someone of his cultivation stage!

But this was not strange at all. After all, as much as Valentin was only a Sector-1 employee, he had worked at the academy for decades!

With that, he had accumulated a savings account and items of various kinds, having left a comfortable inheritance for his assassin.

'That fellow left me 160,000 bronze coins, an Iron-rade spatial ring, some Iron-grade clothing, a sword, several pills and potions of that same quality.' Lothur smiled, looking at the brightly lit street in front of him, where well-dressed people passed. 'Besides, there are many small items that can be sold.'

'Not bad... Not bad at all.'

'I believe that if I sell all these items, I can get 300,000 bronze coins...'

"Excellent!" He muttered as he passed through the entrance of the Frost estate, making his way through the corridors of the main building towards his room.

'Well, in the next few days, I will sell some of these items outside the academy to raise funds. But I have to be careful not to sell them in one place...'

'I have to avoid any suspicions! Maybe someone...' As he was thinking about this, suddenly Elise appeared in his path, stopping him from passing through the hallway entrance to his room.

"What do you want?" He looked into this blond woman's eyes with a bit of hostility. 'Viktoria may have previously prevented me from getting hard evidence, but I will not be convinced of your innocence.'

'I'll be careful with you as long as I have my suspicions!'
