Chapter 687 Reunion



Three days passed as job opportunities at the Ritter Motor Company popped up all over Leopoldine, making even people who had never heard about cars learn about this company.

In those three days, Lothur had followed the Emperor's group closely but also investigated Daemon's whereabouts on his own.

Unfortunately, the Three Great Lakes Region was large. It contained several natural barriers that made even the investigative work of a Saint difficult.

Because of some of these natural and other artificial barriers, Lothur had not been able to observe very distant places and had been having to check the areas within his reach bit by bit.

He was not a professional investigator, so even though he was much stronger than the people in Emperor Leopoldine's group, he investigated almost the same area as these people these days.

So he followed them, letting these local experts lead the way for him.

Amidst this, he saw some of his old acquaintances from this region near the emperor's group.

...

'Toad?' Lothur looked at the level 17 creature that had led him to the Immortals Well earlier.

Noticing that creature and other beasts were coming to his grandfather's group, Lothur frowned, wondering what was on these creatures' minds.

'Tsk! Idiots! Are you going to try to defend your territories against these people?' Lothur formed a frown and immediately set off in the direction of those beasts to avoid the worst.

Not only would it be harmful to him for those beasts to get in the way of the Leopoldine emperor's group, but he also didn't want those beasts to die for anything there.

One way or another, they had helped him in the past!

In the blink of an eye, Lothur moved from where he was watching the emperor's group and appeared before those beasts.

As he did so, Lothur felt the first of those beings moving into the position of the imperial family group crash into his body before the rest of the group stopped because of his appearance, jumping backward.

"Aaaagh!"

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

A large level 18 ape shouted as it fell backward onto the ground, feeling as if overnight, a hill had appeared in its path.

Meanwhile, the big level 17 toad looked at Lothur wide-eyed, identifying this young man from months ago.

"Lothur!" It said in one shout.

Luckily, Lothur was manipulating the space in the surrounding area, so this shout would not reach his grandfather's group.

The other level 17 and 18 beasts also identified Lothur, remembering this young man who had passed through the area not long ago.

"Lothur? What are you..." One of them was about to ask when it noticed the cultivation level of this human.

"Saint?"

Gulp!

"Celestial Saint!" A snake exclaimed, not believing what its instincts were telling it for the first time in its existence.

Lothur smiled at them and explained. "It's good to see you guys. But I can't let you go through with it. The people ahead are investigating someone for me, so I don't want you to get in their way."

Those beasts were still shocked by Lothur's soul cultivation. Most of them continued to watch him intently, saying nothing.

But the great ape that had collided with Lothur got up from the ground and looked at him. "They work for you? But those are enemies of Lord Daemon, your father. He has ordered us to act against that group."I think you should take a look at

"Oh? You are under Daemon's command?"

"We have no choice." The great toad replied. "Daemon is the strongest in the area. And from what we hear, he is finishing building a Platinum-grade weapon, so we cannot stand against him."

"I see..." Lothur closed his eyes and then said. "Well, I'm not going to do anything against him. But he has something of interest to me. I intend to take it and leave, so don't interfere with that group's investigation."

"But..." The great ape felt bad hearing that since it would pit Daemon against them.

"Don't worry about the old man. When I take what I want from him, he will understand it wasn't your fault... How could you stop a Saint?" He laughed.

As those beasts looked at him in admiration or at the ground feeling strange for being stopped so easily by him, Lothur said.

"By the way, I have a gift for your people. In fact, it's two gifts."

"Oh? What's this about?" The big toad asked.

Lothur then pulled the two Saints' corpses out of his spatial ring.

"These two bodies. You can divide them and strengthen yourselves. I have no use for them, so don't stand on ceremony."

The eyes of those creatures bugged out at the sight of those two corpses, one of them even being of a Celestial Saint like Lothur.

'He killed someone of that level?' The great ape swallowed his saliva, seeing that Lothur's combat proficiency had not diminished even though he had become so strong.

But neither could deny the desire to at least devour a part of those bodies!

Even though they were human bodies, small for these beasts' appetites, these two bodies were loaded with energy and cultivation understanding.

This was no ordinary snack for them but two enormous medicines!

Even the biggest of them, the size of Lothur's house, couldn't bear to eat even half of one of those bodies before it had to go into seclusion for a few years!

Even though they were so small compared to their size, those two corpses could help their entire group!

"Lothur... I don't know how to thank you for that." One of those beasts said after a few moments, its mouth salivating.

"Hmm, it's really a great chance for us... Thank you, Lothur."

After several thanks, one of them asked. "By the way, how is Ice?"

"About it, it's fine. It became a Transcendent beast some time ago." Lothur answered sincerely. "When I came here, I asked if it wanted to come back, but it preferred to stay on my people's side.

But it said hello to all of you."

With that said, they would chat for a few moments while Lothur would walk beside them toward the lake where these creatures lived.

He had already placed a tracking device on the emperor's group, so separating from them for a while would not hinder him.

As they headed back to the area where they would soon devour those corpses, those beasts talked to Lothur about Daemon and Fabienne, things they had discovered after his departure.

Unfortunately, they did not know where Daemon was at this instant, so they could not help the young Ritter in his hunt.

But it didn't matter. Soon the emperor's group would find Daemon's hiding place!
