Chapter 189 Deception

After walking for some time, Lothur realized that a level 13 cultivator was chasing him, someone countless times stronger than him.

'Who is this now?' He kept looking ahead as if he did not see that person, trying to get as close as possible to the Becker residence.

He had already walked more than halfway between the Frost estate and Elke's house. So, he naturally only had the alternative of continuing on his way and approaching a refuge.

But he did not use his movement technique to try to speed up his pace. No, that would not make sense. After all, the enemy was faster than he was!

Moreover, demonstrating his incomparable speed to that of mortals would be highly worrying for him, who passed himself off as a mere mortal.

Therefore, he just hastened his pace to a justifiable extent, beginning to worry about these enemies that kept coming up.

'Maybe fate wants me to retake a good beating?' He sarcastically asked himself.

But that moment, such a man got tired of chasing him and said. "Kid, wait a moment. I have something to ask you."

Lothur barely looked back and continued his movement. "Sir, you must have confused me. Good luck in your search..."

"No, your name is Lothur, right? I want to talk to you." That fellow insisted, but the silver-haired young man kept walking.

"Do you know me?" Lothur looked at the person coming closer and closer to him. "I'm in a hurry, so you can talk whatever you want while you continue my walk..."

The middle-aged man looked intently at Lothur but saw no problem with that. "All right, I'll walk with you... Anyway, I don't know you, but I'm after someone you met with on Saturday in Lewerenz."

"Saturday? Lewerenz?" Lothur understood what this man was talking about, but he played dumb. "I met with several people on Saturday. I was doing a mission for the Herrmann family..."

"I speak of Harry Wehrle." He looked into Lothur's eyes, waiting for some reaction.

"Harry?" Lothur made a thoughtful expression until he said. "Oh, so that's it. There was someone like that in the Herrmann family estate... Well, I don't know much about him. We only exchanged a few words on that occasion before I left. You can ask the Herrmann family about that."

The old man smiled awkwardly and said. "I have already done that. They told me that you seem to have had a disagreement with him. Can you tell me what happened next?"

Lothur frowned his eyebrows. "Next? How would I know? I went on my mission, which made my companion and I gain several injuries in the process. As for this person, I don't know. I haven't seen him."

The young man turned to the man next to him and said. "Why? Who is this Harry to you? Why are you after me?"

The old man kept his gaze sharp, watching every gesture of Lothur, who, it should be said, behaved very well in this situation. "I am his master. I have not heard from Harry since Saturday, so I am searching for information about him."

'So that's the master that fellow tried to use to threaten me, huh?" Lothur made a regretful expression. "I'm sorry, I don't know where he went."

"But not only am I in search of my disciple. A subordinate who was after information from you also disappeared... You don't know anything about that either?" He looked strangely at Lothur as if he was suspicious.

Lothur looked ahead and saw the entrance to the Becker family estate. "Oh, about that, I know something."

That man's eyes widened. He did not expect that Lothur was going to tell him something!

Lothur continued. "Someone chased us while we were returning to Peters City. Unfortunately, that person injured someone from the Becker family..."

"Then a shadow guard from that organization eliminated him before he could do anything against the young Miss Becker."

"What?" That man exclaimed in shock, not expecting that such a great organization was involved with the disappearance of his subordinate.

But before he could have any reaction, Lothur said in a provocative tone. "What are you going to do now, sir? We are already a few meters from the Becker estate, and it just so happens that I called them here..."

Upon hearing this, this level 13 man looked at Lothur's hands and saw a Becker family symbol, quickly beginning to feel fear.

"Damn it!" He turned away from Lothur, fearful about having to face that power without any preparation.

He already did not want to act against Lothur because of House Frost, but now in this situation that another power had appeared in this problem, he could only retreat!

In this way, he was deceived by Lothur's lie, who started running without looking back toward the Becker estate after seeing that man escaping.

He did not know if such a person would realize that the symbol he showed was just something ordinary, so he had to get as close as possible to that area!

But lucky for Lothur, such a person was too scared to realize his lie. Because of this, he quickly managed to get to a place where he was no longer in danger, where he stopped and sighed in relief.

'Damn, that was close!'

'If that man were crazy enough to attack me, I'd be finished!' He lifted his head, closed his eyes, and sighed. 'But at least I got some relevant information!'

'Now I have the face of the person behind that coachman's death!'

A sly smile formed on his lips. 'I'm sure Elke's family will be glad to get that information!'

With that thought in mind, he soon invaded that estate, following similar methods as the last two nights.

...

Hours later...

While Harry's master was fleeing from Peters City in terror of the possibility that the Becker family was pursuing him, Elke's mother was ready to put her plans into action.

"Dear, what are you doing?" Gomeric asked, seeing his wife restless while she should be finishing reading some reports.

"I have to have a mother-daughter talk with Elke, so I'll leave the rest of the work to you, alright?" She finally took courage, ready for this challenge that was about to follow.

"Oh?" Gomeric opened his mouth in surprise but said nothing against it.

He understood that women had things that could only be talked about among themselves. It was just a shame that he had not been lucky enough to have a son to raise such an individual.

"All right, but don't take too long. I'll be off to bed in a moment."

"OK." She said before walking hurriedly to Elke's residence.

But when she reached outside that place, she suddenly slowed her steps, beginning to regret it.

'No. I'd better ask one of the handmaidens to talk with her...' She looked in the direction of Elke's residence and then to the second-floor window.

'No! Even if it's a bit awkward, my role as a mother is to educate her!' She put her hesitation aside and climbed up the walls of Elke's residence, quickly reaching the second floor.

As she did so, Hilda suddenly found herself inside Elke's residence, from which distinctive sounds were coming from the room next to the one she entered.

"Ahhh~"

Upon hearing this, this woman's eyes opened wide, and she realized that her daughter was doing something just as she had suspected.

So, she walked towards the place where those sounds were coming from...
