Chapter 390 Abandoned
Chapter 390 Abandoned
Upon hearing that, Lothur looked at that kidnapper and found it strange that such an individual was attributing his good qualities to these two individuals. But he said nothing since he could not risk being recognized as a 'trespasser.'
His predecessor's father seemed minimally interested in his son, so it would not be good to risk publicly assuming that he was not the original.
Maybe that could get him into serious trouble!
But Lothur noticed the fact that this person knew his predecessor's original family, and from the previous words, these people were quite relevant.
"Is that so?" Lothur questioned as his expression returned to normal. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
The kidnapper of this young man misunderstood Lothur and said. "Don't blame them. They are protecting you. Do you know what your life would be like if they hadn't left you? You would be a criminal, live on the run, and everyone would try to kill you."
"Sigh!"
"Anyway, now that you know they are influential and have many enemies, you should watch out for some troublesome people."
"Oh?" Lothur ignored the previous sentences and focused on this important part.
The man sent by Daemon then continued his words. "We didn't know that your grandfather had found out about your identity, but recently I was in a clash with one of his men."
He significantly looked at Lothur. "That must have been the same individual who attacked you before me."
"Grandfather? What is the situation here? Are you two enemies?" Lothur did not understand how this family of his predecessor worked and could not help but question.
"More or less..." The man laughed bitterly from beneath his mask. "In any case, it is crucial that you do not get caught by your grandfather, Lothur. Unlike your father, who gives you the freedom you currently have, that man will not allow you to do what you want."
"He will try to manipulate you into somehow getting my leader out of his hiding place, and then problematic things will happen..."
"In any case, your grandfather will try to send more people after you, so be careful. They will try to kidnap you like I did today."
"And how do I do that?" Lothur questioned in an indignant tone.
If he could get away from a Transcendent so easily, he would not even be in this place!
"Hmm, that is indeed a problem. You won't be able to act to escape someone of my level if they are determined to use their powers against you, as I did." He said as he brought one of his hands to his chin and thought.
After a few moments thinking about it, he handed Lothur a formation. "This teleportation item can take you to a certain location. Use it only in cases of extreme necessity when you have no other options. The place it will take you is not simple, so you don't want to use it casually."
"Oh?" Lothur smiled upon hearing this, as he wanted a powerful item of this type on his side.
His Space Belt was only a short-range item, useful in battles, not escape against such a stronger opponent. So this item was just something that this young man was lacking in this moment of great challenge that he was experiencing.
"Hehe, thanks for it." He thanked, while already looking at the ropes wrapped around his body. "When will you release me? For that matter, when are we going back to Peters City?"
"Back?" Daemon's envoy asked in surprise. "I'm not going back. I will release you, and you must make your way back."
"What? But you brought me here! Do you, by any chance, want to force me to use this formation immediately?" Lothur questioned indignantly.
This person could have approached him and called him to go to a shop. But this individual kidnapped and brought him to this remote area where he could not even see Peters City.
So this silver-haired young man felt that it was only fair for the enemy to release him somewhere other than this.
The kidnapper turned his back on Lothur and said before leaving. "I've checked the whole area up to here. So as long as you are quick, there will be no danger."
"No danger? Are you crazy? Do you know how many enemies I have?" Lothur said as he thought of the thirsty 'wolves' of Peters City, who must be salivating to chase him.
"You are your father's son. Make your own way!" That man's voice reached Lothur's ears while such a person had already disappeared over the horizon.
"You bastard!" Lothur cursed as he felt anger at this person who wanted to throw him into trouble.
But since he was worried about his own life, Lothur soon left that place, starting to run towards Peters City.
The envoy of Lothur's father had left some tracking instruments to help this young man locate himself since he had left him in a place that such a young man might not know where it was.
Because of this, Lothur quickly found his position in relation to Peters City and began his journey back, which should be around 50 kilometers.
'Damn it!'
'I'd better get ready to fight...' He sighed, thinking of his lost hours and potential dangers on his way back.
...
Meanwhile, in Peters City, the enemies on Lothur's tail had already awakened from the effects of the previous pulse.
These people quickly began to search for where this young man had gone, to get him back on the watch of their families as soon as possible.
Because of this, more than just the individuals watching Lothur had begun searching for him throughout this city.
'Where is this damn brat?' One of the many individuals behind the young Ritter wondered in doubt, being in this situation for the second time in a matter of days.
'Could it be that someone is protecting him from the shadows? Every time he goes to do something in secret, is this person knocking us out?' Another person doing her job wondered, feeling that perhaps her family would have bigger problems dealing with Lothur.
'I have to inform the patriarch. That fellow is bizarre and is hiding something!'
'Come to think of it, the fact that the biggest families in the province are against him is strange... Why do they focus so much on this young man? Viktoria is much more talented than him, and I don't see anyone after her.'
One of the women searching for Lothur considered this. She was committed to reporting her doubts to her family, a minor noble house, who were only against this young man given its alliances.
...
After some time, Lothur had already crossed half his way back to Peters City when he finally came across cultivators.
To his misfortune, these were not insignificant individuals who would not care about him. But instead, people who had enmities and issues to settle with him!
"Lothur Ritter, what are you doing? By any chance, an evening stroll?" A black-haired young man asked the person in front of him while maliciously laughing.
"Don't you know that the valley is dangerous at night?" Another individual questioned as he began to move to block Lothur's path.
