Chapter 318 Enemies Close!

[EVF: 591]

Lothur felt a weight on his conscience after absorbing so many points at once, which indicated his absorption limit was close to 400 per activation of his bloodline.

But as the patterns on his face and his eyes returned to normal, he had a smile on his face, extremely pleased with the results of this killing night.

This action of his with Viktoria was triply beneficial to him!

First, he gained EVF points, which could make him stronger. Second, he collected the enemies' spatial rings, which could make him richer. And finally, these actions eliminated enemies, which guaranteed a smoother future for him and his wives.

So, after finishing his difficult fight in this place, Lothur could only feel extremely satisfied.

Viktoria had had a good battle but still dominated her opponents. But Lothur had had a balanced battle with the level 10 cultivator, which guaranteed him some injuries and great exhaustion.

But in the end, he had beaten the level 10 cultivator using gloves similar to the ones he had used to smash Oliver's head in that tailoring dispute.

Lothur had not killed his opponent, of course, but he had successfully crushed that person's hands, which guaranteed him victory.

Anyway, it had all taken about 15 minutes from the beginning to the end of the attack, by which time Viktoria was destroying all the bodies of the more than 40 individuals in this place.

While these 'mummies' were being degraded, Lothur added a few more points to his Constitution.

[COM: 70.2] (+)

He already knew that was the characteristic that was relevant concerning making his women stronger after sex with him. So even if he does not need this increase in power, he would still do it.

With this, he could help his women advance faster!

[9.8 points added in CON for the cost of 196 EVF.]

Sensing his bloodline converting those EVF points into Constitution value, Lothur opened his arms and looked up, feeling like an electric current was running through his body.

He closed his eyes and endured the evolution of his body while clenching his fists and being watched by his wife.

A minute later, he opened his eyes and saw the system showing him his status.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 9]

[STR: 27] [CON: 80] [DEX: 23.1] [AGI: 31.3]

[INT: 68.8] [PER: 70] [WIL: 75.6]

[EVF: 395]

After seeing this and sighing, Lothur looked at Viktoria and saw that she had already finished her work. "Let's go."

Then, after handing him the spatial rings she had collected, the two carefully departed from that post.

'Another 500,000 bronze coins for me...' He surveyed such rings as he moved, using his visual ability to choose the best path for them to return to the hotel they were staying in.

'Well, I spent 100,000 coins to produce the items I used in this attack, so my savings comes to 1.3 million.'

...

While Lothur was counting his earnings, Kai's subordinate, who had talked to him earlier, arrived at the third post in the Peters City of the Mouse Company.

Upon arriving there, he and his group immediately found themselves in an empty place, with no lookouts in the surrounding area and no trace of combat inside.

"Where is everyone?" One individual who was in that group asked, not understanding the significance of that.

Many members of this organization were hunting for information regarding Lothur. But it was unlikely that one of their posts would be abandoned, as seemed to be the case with this one.

This organization had its enemies, so leaving a post unprotected was risky. Therefore, these subordinates of Kai could not help but find the situation in this building strange.

'Something happened...' The black man thought while his expression was solemn, feeling a terrible premonition.

If the people of this post had decided to do something as stupid as leaving this place unprotected, sending everyone to investigate Lothur, they would at least know something.

But no warning had reached them, and the group in charge of this post had already missed sending two update reports!

"Run to the boss! Let him know we may be under attack!" He shouted to his companions, not wanting to wait to discover something more frightening than his suspicions.

Contrary to popular belief, it took intelligence to live on the fringes of the law in the criminal world. So this man was not stupid and would not wait to act in this situation!

In the blink of an eye, most of those individuals left that building, with only a few staying behind to begin their investigations.

...

Meanwhile, Magnus was walking back and forth in his room in a local hotel, nervous about things happening since early morning.

'Several elders are looking differently at me...' He had a terrible expression, similar to those sick people would have on their deathbeds.

'The patriarch looked at me earlier as if I were a great burden...' Then, he began to theorize what was about to happen.

But then, when the branches of a tree outside the hotel he was in swayed due to the night winds, this man shivered and looked in that direction, frightened.

He was so defensive that he could even be frightened by his shadow at the moment!

However, this was not an exaggerated reaction. After all, his family had been badly damaged today by House Becker. And if his family's leadership did not hand him over to those enemies, they would probably lose all their battles the next day.

In other words, his situation in this family was precarious, and someone could decide to act against him at any moment!

Not for less, he was nervous, feeling as if his fellow elders were watching him in preparation to attack and hand him over to the Becker family.

'I have to escape while I still have the chance!' He finally made up his mind, confident that he could not remain passive about his future.

Magnus was one of the strongest in the Trapka family. Still, if the other five elders and the patriarch who was in Peters City to attend the Province Conference acted against him, he would have no escape!

Thus, he looked from one side of his room to the other with a wary, suspicious look, similar to what madmen would have.

Then he scanned his surroundings and made his escape plan!

In the blink of an eye, he collected everything he needed in that room and opened the only window in his room before jumping towards the first floor.

Level 13 cultivators could not fly, but their bodies were sturdy enough to withstand a 15-meter-high fall without injury.

So he jumped from that hotel's fourth floor without worrying about this, only with his escape in mind.

Unfortunately for Magnus, his nervousness led him to a fate worse than he thought it would!
