BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95 Ending The Mission
Sometime later, Lothur\'s group left the Formation Masters Association building.
They had stopped by that institution\'s store that sold items needed by beginners in the profession of formation masters, with Lothur having spent some more of his savings.
Lothur had spent 7,000 bronze coins there on two inscription books and a basic set needed to produce his first Iron-grade formation.
And with that, he had found out from one of the officials at that place that the next entrance test for new formation masters would take place in 20 days.
So he had already put it on his plan to try to learn the basics of that profession during this period in order to be able to participate in this entrance test that would take place in the next few weeks.
After finishing all their business there, Lothur\'s group had headed to one of the many restaurants in this city, where Jacob was already finishing his meal.
...
As Lothur watched the young man finish devouring the contents of his plate, he looked up at the sky of that outdoor area, seeing the many stars that decorated such a thing.
And feeling the coolness of the night, he imagined what it would be like to spend the rest of the time until dawn beside Elke in her room. However, for the moment, this could only remain in his imagination.
Not because he and she did not want to do something like that, they certainly did. But because both were not allowed to sleep outside their families\' estates, at least not today.
Elke had naturally only gotten that room because of the excuse that she wanted a place to rest during the breaks from classes at the Morning Star Academy. So, her parents would not allow her to sleep outside without reasonable justification.
Lothur, on the other hand, had even less freedom than that woman. That was because, even though he was not a maiden who should be protected, this fellow had obligations to House Frost.
He was only a son-in-law in his wife\'s family, someone who needed to keep up appearances. So Viktoria\'s family did not allow him to sleep outside; if he tried something like this, he could surely be punished later.
And since he did not have his freedom, being someone with status almost equal to the servants of that organization, he could only imagine doing that with Elke on this day.
Lothur knew that there was a tracking item on his body that he could not remove and that basically prevented him from escaping Mabel\'s \'clutches.\' So, to avoid trouble, he would just go along with the rules of that family for the time being.
But internally, he felt pretty irritated that he could not do what he wanted!
\'Sigh.\'
\'At least I\'m not missing anything yet...\' He looked at Elke, thinking that even if he had his freedom, he still could not take this woman anywhere he wanted.
But as he had a mysterious look on his face and Elke watched him, trying to understand this man, Jacob finally said something. "Well, Lothur, Elke, thank you for today\'s service."
"I don\'t think I\'ve had such satisfactory results since I started doing this sort of thing." He bowed his head in gratitude, feeling that even though he paid, he still owed these people such words.
Lothur and Elke had only done their service. Still, given how much better the results of this had been compared to Jacob\'s other experiments, he thanked them both.
"Hmm, don\'t worry about that." Elke nodded, feeling good about being complimented alongside Lothur. "But then? It\'s about time you leave, isn\'t it?"
"Shall we go?"
"Oh, yes, let\'s go!" He got up from the table after leaving a small bag of coins, the payment for that dinner.
After that, they made their way along the sidewalks of that city\'s well-lit and still busy street, heading for where that young man\'s family wagon was supposed to be.
...
When they arrived near the Peters City suburbs, the three found themselves on a deserted street, where noises of loads and people talking could be heard.
In that area of the city, several warehouses and local resource depots were located. Precisely because of this, Jacob\'s father\'s wagon was in the area, finishing being filled with resources to be loaded for Lewerenz.
Because of the nature of the operations in this area of Peters City, even during the nights, there was a lot of noise from items being loaded and unloaded. But there were no problems. After all, there were no residential buildings in this part of the city.
Anyway, even though they were already in that noisy area, this group had not yet seen anything in the surroundings. All that was there was a wide street where dust could be seen moving with the night winds.
No carriages were outside the depots in that area, and the lighting there was more or less precarious, with spots where the most fearful would shiver in anxiety.
At this place, the three of them were walking at moderate paces, with Lothur checking their surroundings and Elke and Jacob silently walking with their heads down, anxious.
And just as they were about to reach the depot where Jacob\'s father\'s wagon should be, suddenly six people appeared on the outskirts, coming from the side streets of that area.
Two of them were approaching them from the front of Lothur\'s group, walking as if they were just following their path. Another two were coming from behind, with the latter two, one coming from the left and the other from the right of that crossroads.
When Lothur realized that, although they seemed to be just following their paths, these people were coming closer and closer to them, he suddenly stopped his step.
He held Elke\'s and Jacob\'s shoulders, making them stop as well.
After that, he frowned his eyebrows and checked the level of those people. \'Four cultivators at 2nd Transformation and two at 3rd, huh?\'
\'What do they want?\'
On the other hand, as Jacob and Elke began to fear that group of people that was much stronger and more numerous than theirs, those six people also stopped their movements.
Some of them began to form smiling expressions as they looked at the gorgeous woman who had done them the favor of offering herself to them by coming to this place unescorted.
\'Hehehe, a mortal, a young man who has just started his cultivation, and this beauty who is almost at the 2nd Transformation...\' One of them thought of this as he licked his lips.
\'From those two clothes, they definitely have coins or resources for us brothers.\' The leader of the group smiled, satisfied.
Usually, they hung around the local suburbs looking for easy opportunities. Still, people like Elke or Jacob were always accompanied by troublesome individuals.
So, they rarely acted against their prey.
However, these poor fools had underestimated the dangers of the night and had come to this dark and precarious place without extra help...
What could they do? If those people wanted so badly to give her their items and that woman wished to have a wild night with them, then they could only take advantage of this sign given by the world!
"Hehehe, beauty, where are you going?" One of the boldest of the group asked this as he looked lewdly at Elke, hardly able to wait to taste her.
Seeing that, Elke shivered in fear, dreading the look that not only that man had toward her but also the others there.
"Beauty, if you come with us easily, we can let your friends leave in peace..." The leader of that group of thieves finally said something while drawing a black dagger. "You just need to free yourself and have fun with these six brothers here."
"It will be fun, and no one will get hurt!"
"Hehehe, that\'s right."
"Let us show you what real men can do, beauty!"
"I\'m sure these brats don\'t have what it takes for that!" Another fellow looked at Lothur, thinking that someone who looked like that could not like a woman.
And while Jacob was trembling with fear at those people\'s words, Lothur was boiling with anger, his hands itching for him to act.
Not only that, upon hearing the comments of those men regarding his woman, a bloodlust began to flood his mind, quickly suppressing his morally correct thoughts.
\'So you guys are that kind of vermin, huh?\' He ran one of his fingers across his spatial ring, feeling the pressure in his head increasing as he watched those people.
"Let me teach you what happens to those who court other people\'s women in my homeland..."
