Chapter 425 Entering Ice Feathers 3

When the two of them stood in the middle of that area between the two tables and the gaze of those many people, the silence was present as Lothur looked at his wife.

Viktoria was sitting at a small table opposite the door to that hall and between two ends of those arc-shaped tables.

Lothur winked at her and asked. "What are we going to do here, dear?"

The people in the surrounding area heard this and did not like it very much since they respected Viktoria a lot and did not like anyone talking to her like that.

That was particularly true of the men there, Viktoria's admirers, that pursued her until a good-for-nothing came along months ago and married her.

The expressions of those people turned ugly. Viktoria saw this, but even though she knew that perhaps her husband should be more formal in this place, she could not correct him. She loved him and needed this man in a way that she would no longer feel comfortable trying to control or restrict him.

So she replied. "You can introduce yourself to the council members and state your goals here. We will continue after that."

Lothur smiled and looked at the people in the surrounding area.

"Well, my name is Lothur Ritter, I am the husband of your leader, and I am here to join the Ice Feathers. As for my goal, well, it is to use this group to gain access to the most important missions of the academy."

The people in that group of 12 individuals opened their mouths in surprise at Lothur's honesty.

It was expected that in a situation like this, the person in his position would try to hide that goal and say nice things. For example, he should say he wanted to join them because of their affinity, to fight side by side with the members of that faction and grow together with it.

But Lothur had gone straight to the point without nice words.

"What? How dare you?" One of those men there questioned Lothur as he rose from his seat, irritated.

"You just want to use our faction?" One of the women gave Lothur an ugly look as Karen hid her face with her hands.

"Of course. It would be too much work to create my faction. So I'll join one that exists to enjoy the benefits of it." He was sincere. "I will do that while helping my dear wife improve the situation of her faction."

"Oh? And how do you intend to do that?" Another man asked while making a disgusted expression at Lothur. "Are you saying you can do something that even First Miss Frost didn't do?"

"I can."

"Arrogance!"

"First Miss Frost, I'm sorry to say this, but that man is unpleasant!" The same person asking that question said that as he looked at Viktoria. "I feel he has no affinity with the group and will only bring discord to the faction."

Viktoria was silent, watching in her husband's direction and wondering why he was making things more difficult.

Lothur smiled and took his eyes off that student, then looked into the eyes of each of the beautiful women around that circular area. "Do you want a capable member or a little friend to play with you? What difference does it make if I'm not saying the pretty words you want to hear? This faction will become about 50% stronger with me alone."

The 12 individuals there looked at Lothur and frowned, feeling that they had not yet seen all the arrogance of this person.

"Apart from my wife, none of you can compare to me..." Lothur said in a low voice, making everyone there start to turn red.

Even the beautiful women who were very appreciative of his appearance were starting to get irritated.

As for Lothur's three women, they were open-mouthed, seeing how this guy irritated people of different personalities.

He continued, speaking for everyone there to hear his voice. "Tsk! Even if you all joined together, you wouldn't be able to match me."

"No wonder my dear wife has to train so hard! She has allowed herself to be surrounded by a bunch of weaklings who don't understand a cultivator's priorities!"

"Tsk!"

"Shut up!" One of those men there could no longer contain his anger and slammed hard into the table in front of him as he rose from his seat.

"How dare you disrespect the entire council? Who do you think you are?"

Another individual added. "Don't think that just because you are the husband of the faction leader that we will accept your unreasonable words!"

"Take back your words, Lothur!" One of the more angry women said as she picked up her weapon to teach this troublesome individual a lesson.

While Elke looked from one side of that place to the other, trying to understand the situation, Viktoria had her face resting on one of her hands, embarrassed. But since she knew that Lothur could indeed defeat all these people, she did not stop him.

As for this man, he was smiling at these angry people, enjoying seeing that he could dominate these people with strength.

Lothur's goal was to irritate them and force them to act against him so that he could quickly gain the respect of the group and not have to deal with future questioning.

He wanted to have a quiet time in this faction without constantly dealing with people in his way. So to do this, he would show the difference between him and them so that these people would understand that he was not just the husband of the faction leader.

He was just as strong as Viktoria and demanded the same respect!

And there was nothing faster than a fight to achieve his noble goals!

"Come on!" Lothur laughed at the people around him, making provocative gestures and indicating for them to attack him.

By now, Elke had moved away from him, while even Karen was standing, looking strangely at Lothur as he indicated for her to join the battle as well.

"All of you should come. It won't be good if someone is left out and my strength is questioned." He said in a provocative tone.

Karen felt slightly irritated by this, trying to understand what was Lothur's problem. But since Viktoria seemed to be allowing all this, she did what that man indicated.

Meanwhile, the other council members took their weapons and prepared to attack Lothur using their physical abilities since they were not allowed to fight with their spiritual abilities there.

Lothur knew this, which was why he was not with his staff in hand, knowing he could deal with 12 Spiritual Warriors using only his powerful physique.

"After I beat all of you, your group will unanimously approve the entries of Elke and me into this faction." He said, making it seem to these people that this was a bet.

"If you beat all of us, I will make it a point to walk ten laps around the academy naked!" One of those men, filled with anger and resentment, said this out loud just before he moved to hit Lothur.

The others took the opportunity and acted as well, several targeting different points of this opponent while closing off Lothur's escape routes.

Lothur did nothing. He just stood still, waiting for the first blow to hit his body.
