Chapter 651 The Truth About Lothur



Tears streamed down Elke's face as she ran up to Lothur, feeling her heart beating faster.

Her breathing rose, and her face flushed, but even with tears in her eyes, her features indicated nothing but happiness and relief.

When she heard Lothur's voice right in front of her, all the worries in her heart faded away, replaced by the joy of being able to touch him and know that he was all right.

For weeks she, Viktoria, and Annaliese had no idea what he was doing. All they knew was that the great Seraphim Church was hunting him.

For all they knew, he could be anywhere, injured, alone.

Upon seeing him strong and well, all these worries collapsed simultaneously, and she began to cry inconsolably.

Lothur didn't say much to her, massaging her soft little body while smelling the sweet scent of her red hair.

Rebecca watched this in silence as Lothur's men in the surrounding area stopped the earlier formation their master had told them to use.

Gomeric, the Koch patriarch, and other elders of the allied families in the Ritter Motor Company heard Lothur's words and sighed in relief.

This monstrous group was not their enemy!

But before wondering if Lothur was the monstrous creature the Church was hunting, they all stood momentarily silent and open-mouthed, feeling this young man's cultivation.

'Celestial Saint...'

Gulp!

Several Adam's pommels went up and down, with virtually everyone who already knew Lothur there wondering the same thing.

'How?'

But the more intelligent ones would slowly let the initial shock wear off to consider the obvious.

'Is he really a half-breed of demon and human?' Gomeric wondered. 'But how is that possible? Lothur was always so calm! He never showed any sign of that chaotic, murderous creature!'

While he and others were thinking about this, one of Rebecca's acquaintances in the area asked her.

"Rebecca, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the Imperial Prison? Did the imperial family happen to release you?"

"No, I escaped from the Imperial Prison. We all escaped."

"Uh? All of you?"

"But that should be impossible."

Hearing that, the Koch patriarch was about to say. "Don't tell me that..."

Lothur then replied while having Elke with her face glued to his chest. "After I escaped from the clutches of the imperial family members, I used one of them to put me inside the Imperial Prison and keep the people of the Seraphim Church away from my real location.

After a while in that place, I became stronger, and a few days ago, I opened the way for my group to leave that place."

"But... Shouldn't it be impossible to cultivate inside that place?" The leader of the Koch family did not understand how Lothur had achieved this feat.

Lothur saw the expression of doubt on that man's face and smiled. "Because others can't, doesn't mean I can't."

With those words, everyone in the surrounding area fell silent, clearly understanding its meaning.

Gomeric looked at the men and women in the surroundings. "Are they all Imperial Prison inmates?"

"Yes, they are my subordinates now," Lothur said, making Elke look him in the eye.

"That..."

"There are 100 Transcendents here!" Patriarch Koch looked at the surroundings, frowning as he saw those people watching the area.

"What do you intend to do with them? Take revenge?" Elke asked, making everyone momentarily look in their direction.

But Lothur showed no such interest. "No. At least not now. I cannot deny that I have benefited greatly from the actions of Lars Leopoldine's group.

On the other hand, I intend to fulfill that mission I received near Lewerenz."

"Oh? You intend to travel north?" She immediately remembered the place where she had almost died at the hands of one of the Frost family infiltrators.

"Yes, after I settle some matters locally." He looked at the people there and finally asked. "What are you people doing here?"

Gomeric said with a smile on his face. "Lothur, this is the future headquarters of the Ritter family. Viktoria and Elke have been developing this place for the past few weeks...

It will be ready in a few more days."

"My headquarters?" He heard that and smiled, enjoying the movement of his women.

"Not only that, those men in the surrounding area are all our family members now," Elke said.

Lothur looked at the men pressed to the ground by his ability and deactivated it, smiling as he gestured to them.

"Sorry about that. I was testing you, haha."

None of those men expressed dissatisfaction upon hearing his excuse, as they felt overjoyed to discover how strong their patriarch was.

Their leader was already a Saint!

How many Saints were there in this empire? Very few!

"Very well, since this is my headquarters, I will leave my men here." He looked at the surroundings and ordered. "From now on, you will stay in this place to defend it and take orders from my woman."

"Yes, master!"

"For now, help the workers finish building this place. I will leave now, but when I return, I want to see this place ready to start its operations."

Once again, the 100 people exclaimed as they understood and began to move toward the interior of that construction.

Seeing this and hearing the word master, the local leaders surveying the construction alongside Elke realized that these individuals were not merely allies of Lothur.

'Master?'

"Are they your slaves?" Elke asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, then you can rest assured. They are 100% loyal and us and would die if ordered to do so." He winked at her.

Then Lothur looked at Rebecca and Ice. "You two need to stay here. You both shouldn't be around here, so if you are seen around the city, it will indicate what happened..."

"I know," Rebecca said, imagining this would be her new home.

Ice nodded its head without saying anything. It preferred such a place more than the urban area of Peters City!

With that settled, Lothur once again hid his cultivation and called those local leaders to accompany him.

"What shall we do now?" Gomeric asked him.

He and all the others were still holding the fact that Lothur was a hybrid in their minds. But they were all going along with what he was indicating.

Not only because they didn't feel that Lothur was a threat to them but because they also had no choice. They were already associated with the young Ritter, and this fellow had returned with great force.

At the same time, even if the Church was hunting him, Lothur was now at a very high level. They couldn't tell for sure if the people in that organization would be able to do anything against him.

In that case, it was better to simply stay on his good side, even knowing his terrible reality!
