Chapter 668 Powerful Visitors
?
Hours had passed, and a new day had dawned in Peters City.
After the funeral of Aiken Frost, the family slowly returned to normal this morning, looking again at their business and operations.
This family lost quite a few relevant people in the incident weeks ago. But with the merger with the Ritter family, this group was receiving support from the Koch family to keep their properties in order.
As such, even though weakened, this family had not lost any bargaining or business power, and there was plenty of work for its members to occupy their minds.
Viktoria and Annaliese had many things to do, while Mabel needed to regain her mobility.
As the day began, everyone was soon busy doing something, working for things that would benefit Lothur.
He was also acting for the good of his people, and just before midday, he showed up at his headquarters with some equipment he had fixed.
His group of slaves was already gathered in a hall to hear his orders when he arrived there.
"I have 10 Gold-grade equipment that I will leave in the vault of this facility," Lothur said to his 100 slaves while some of his subordinates and allies in the surrounding area listened to him.
"Those of you who reach Divine Soul cultivation can take one of these armaments and use it temporarily. If any of you advance and we don't have equipment for everyone, those with nothing will be able to challenge those with such equipment.
If they lose the battle, they will lose their equipment to the winner, simple as that." He laid down that new rule.
Hearing that, those 100 individuals readily accepted it almost all of them were delighted, for then it would be better not only for the lower level ones to have the opportunity but for the organization itself.
Lothur's allies and subordinates in the surrounding area heard this and were interested in it.
Gold-grade equipment was items made for Saints. So Transcendents carrying such a thing would be very important for the empowerment of these people.
"Patriarch, what about Silver-grade equipment?" One of Lothur's subordinates asked.
"Good question." Lothur looked at that person and said. "I have some Silver-grade items that I will also release to you. But it will take another day or two.
As for those items, anyone who reaches Soul Core cultivation can compete for the right to use them.
For simplicity's sake, the other rules for the Gold-grade items will apply to these Silver-grade items."
As people in the surrounding area began to talk about this, with some slaves feeling that these Silver-grade items would be theirs in the short term, Lothur suddenly looked up toward the ceiling.
"What is it, patriarch? Is something wrong?" A member of the Koch family near Lothur asked.
Lothur frowned his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.
At this instant, he saw a group of Saints flying to Peters City!
"Stay here. I have something to take care of." He said before
disappearing, moving at great speed, and going through the ceiling of that place.
Everyone there stopped their conversations at that movement, looking from side to side in doubt.
...
Seconds after disappearing from his headquarters, Lothur appeared at the front of the group heading for Peters City.
When he manipulated space and appeared above that forest, the three travelers immediately stopped their flight, knowing that this was a Saint like them.
They hadn't expected to casually encounter a Saint in one of Leopoldine's weaker provinces. Still, it wasn't a complete surprise to them either.
Leopoldine had high-level powers that lived hidden, so the possibility of people like this being around the empire was high.
Coming across this silver-haired person, they immediately frowned, realizing the similarity of this man to some people from the local imperial family.
"Who are you? Why did you appear in our way?" The strongest of the three said, on guard, as he felt this person was not weak.
The way Lothur had appeared in front of them could not be considered simple. Not every Saint could manipulate space that way. Only the strongest and most talented could do it at the speed young Ritter had just done.
Lothur watched them in silence for a moment and then asked. "I am the one who asks you that. Who are you? What do you want in this place?"
Lothur saw the status of the strongest of these men.
[Name: ***]
[Soul Cultivation: level 20]
[Body Culture: level 15]
[STR: 201.9] [CON: 225.9] [DEX: 211.2] AGI: 209.6]
[INT: 211.7] [PER: 193.5] [WIL: 222.2] [SOU: 3,128.9]
'That's a pretty powerful Soul...' He frowned, but as his eyes shone, he saw that this individual only had one Soul Bone.
The other two also had Souls stronger than Lothur's, between 2,300 and 2,600.
So Lothur decided to make these people talk!
While looking at them seriously in silence, he pointed one of his hands toward them and made the gravity change, causing their bodies to become the focus of gravity.
Pressure surged from every angle, and these men realized Lothur's advantage.
His Gravity depended on the Will attribute, but in that respect, none of them could compare themselves to him!
"That..."
"What is that? What absurd power!" One of the two level 19 men exclaimed.
But then the level 20 leader looked closely at Lothur and finally saw 5 Bones glowing around his body!
"What?" He opened his mouth as he noticed Lothur's Spirit Body with already 50% of itself formed.
'How can that be? That bastard has 5 Soul Bones!' He exclaimed in his mind, seeing what Lothur wanted him to see.
'And they are not simple bones! That bastard is a demon hunter? How can he be? What would such an accomplished hunter be doing in this place?'
Feeling that he might get into trouble if they stood against this man, the group leader finally decided to speak up.
"Demon hunter, we are not here to cause trouble. We are in search of something that belonged to our young master.
He recently died, and someone brought one of the items in his spatial ring to this city ahead.
We believe that this person is related to our young master's death, so we want to find them and interrogate them."
"Oh? Spatial ring? That was brought to this city?" Lothur muttered before asking. "Answer me just one more thing. Who is the person who is holding this ring? Can you show me?"
That man did not understand the reason for Lothur's question and merely pointed in the direction of the Koch estate, particularly the Koch patriarch.
"Hmm, so that's it..." He muttered, remembering the ring he had given that man days ago.
