Chapter 396 Seeking Help

"There's not much to do. Let's focus on our plans, strengthen and develop our skills and network of influence." Lothur said, knowing that the path he had decided to take only depended on his success relative to these things.

Problems would come along the way, but he could not change his strategy, as it was useful in good or bad situations.

So, to the risk of someone from his grandfather showing up and to the problems his actions against those nobles, his response could not be any different.

To become stronger and more influential, thus driving away or scaring off enemies!

They could not run away, nor did they have a magical answer that would change everything from one moment to the next. Then, they could only cling to what they had at the moment.

Viktoria understood her husband and sighed. "What will we do if these spectators spread about your abilities to the whole province?"

"They probably won't do that." Lothur commented, feeling that the mixture of his Mortal Aura and bloodline ability had frightened those people enough for them to think twice before talking about him.

"I unconsciously activated my ability coming from the evolution of my killing intent at that moment. So, because of that, those people are probably hallucinating the possibility of me going after them."

"Then they must already be fleeing Peters City or going into seclusion, with their mouths closed to leave no trace that they have seen me."

The Mortal Aura not only frightened enemies but also 'showed' its user how people felt when affected by it. Because of this, Lothur knew that some of those individuals had even shit themselves with fear as they fled where it had all happened.

Because of this, he was confident that most would not talk about the subject, even though he could not be sure of that.

"In any case, this shouldn't spread to the point where the whole city finds out about what happened." He said in a sighing tone. "On the other hand, there's not much we can do about it now. If someone spreads something, we won't find out and be able to act until the damage has already been done."

"That's right..." She sat back down, feeling a little bad since it was terrible not being able to do anything to prevent trouble.

He then said to his wife. "Leave that aside. Tomorrow I will present my vehicle, and that will attract allies to our side."

"Do you really think so?" She asked since, like Annaliese and Elke, Viktoria was in the dark about Lothur's miniature vehicle. "Have you finished your project?"

"I'll finish it now." He stood up and prepared to do so.

He had identified some minor problems earlier. So before starting the nightly training of his professions and physical skills, Lothur had to do this.

Viktoria was surprised that her husband had not finished yet, but she was still confident in him. She already had a lot of confidence in his abilities, so she just smiled and did not stop him from going to do his work.

'I also have to practice my professions...'

...

While Lothur was doing his work, the families who had lost their nobles this night had already been notified of their disappearance.

Those who were keeping an eye on Lothur and trying to locate him after the previous kidnapping were the first to find out that something had happened in the vicinity of Peters City.

They still did not know if this was related to Lothur, but due to the search for this young man, they found the place left by him.

That area had been partially destroyed, with all the plant organisms having withered away within a few meters of where Lothur had been.

There they found the blood trails and symbols of the items of the nobles that had fallen in the area and worried.

'Someone has advanced a level in this place...' An investigator thought of this as he passed through the area and studied the scene.

The impurities from Lothur's body had remained in the area, so this person from the local Peters City guard realized an important piece of information.

'It makes no sense for a low-level cultivator to have advanced here. Thus, that was done by someone at the 2nd stage, but...' He frowned. 'Who would leave so much impurity behind after a breakthrough? Could this be a body cultivator?'

Thinking about it, this person could not immediately associate such information with Lothur since this young man was supposedly someone at the 9th Transformation. Since it was normal for people like that not to show manipulation of spiritual energy, one could not correlate this place with him.

No one knew whether Lothur was a body or soul cultivator!

But still, this was important information!

...

"Legist Klossner, please help me!" A mature woman, an old acquaintance of this man, knelt in front of him in his workroom at the local government headquarters.

August saw this and felt embarrassed that someone he knew was doing this out of the blue and tried to lift the woman up by taking one of her arms.

"Please, Regina, don't do this. What is the reason for you to humiliate yourself like this?" He asked this beautiful woman, who at the moment was pale, sweating profusely.

She answered in her agitated voice. "I just saw that young man, Lothur, in action. Please, coroner, help me. I heard that you know him, don't you? I saw him do something terrible, and now I fear for my life."

August was surprised, considering that such a woman was not weak but someone at level 12. But, at the same time, she was just a local mercenary who had never been involved with the affairs of the nobility, let alone Lothur.

So how could she be terrified of a young man weaker than herself just because she had seen something?

She continued as tears trickled down her eyes. "I saw this Lothur fighting against more than a dozen cultivators with strengths similar to mine. He... He... Gulp..."

"Him?" Coroner Klossner's eyes narrowed as he could not help but be surprised that Lothur had fought so many strong opponents and still survived. 'I wonder what she saw? Could it be that he was still hiding his strength in the final of the Province Conference?'

"He killed them all cruelly, coroner Klossner." She said, doing this to this man because she had helped him in the past and considered that he would return the favor by helping her in this time of trouble.

Regina had been feeling extreme fear since she saw Lothur activating his bloodline. At every moment, she felt like shadows were watching her, and she could not relax, even hours after the incident.

She had thought about running away, but considering how difficult it would be to rebuild her life elsewhere and opportunity through this man, she wanted to try to solve the problem.

"He's a monster! He had defeated most of those people but had fallen. Then he magically recovered, to the point that even the weapon of one of his opponents broke when it hit his skin!"

"After that, he did something strange that scared everyone, and I felt as if he had exterminated the souls of those people!" She exclaimed to Klossner, quickly narrating some of the previous events to this man.

"Is that so?" He asked in interest, remembering that the next day he would have an occasion when he would be with Lothur.
