Chapter 498 Finishing The Mission
As Lothur entered the streets of Peters City, he immediately faced the same reaction as in the town he had passed when he left the Three Great Lakes Region.
People in his path came out of the buildings on the streets he was passing on Ice\'s back, seeing this strange and powerful beast running with him on its back.
But although cultivators from various parts of the city began to watch them and wonder where that beast was coming from, many identified Lothur easily. Therefore, no one tried to approach him to bid on his mount or try to attack him.
Those in this city who might attack Lothur and Ice already knew of his recent accomplishments. That is, the situation days ago when he was going to the Finn Mountains and blocked the action of several local leaders who tried to kill him.
So no one like that would casually try to act against him at this point, even more so considering that he now seemed to have one more ally.
But soon, some people who had previously been watching Lothur noticed his return after his disappearance in the Finn Mountains.
After days of being missing, some members of young Ritter\'s enemy families were already considering the possibility that he was dead!
Then, when some saw him alive and well, they opened their mouths in shock and tried to understand the situation.
"That... Isn\'t that Lothur?" A level 14 individual, passing near the path of that silver-haired fellow, questioned aloud, even though he was alone.
In another part of Lothur\'s path to the academy building, Caroline Waldeaur saw Lothur from afar and frowned.
\'Is he back?\' She wondered, not liking this sight in front of her at all.
She had more information regarding Lothur\'s situation in the Finn Mountains than other people in this city.
Lothur had disappeared alongside a demon, but now, he was back alongside a 5th Revolution beast!
What did this mean? He had possibly become stronger after absorbing the Soul Bone from that creature and then conquering this white beast.
That was what her father feared the most!
\'Damn it!\'
\'I have to communicate with my father about this.\' She clenched her fists and ran toward the local government headquarters.
She knew that the Duke of the province would give up the faction he was in now if Lothur showed himself alive.
But not only did some of Lothur\'s enemies notice his arrival, but allies also noticed him on top of that white-furred beast.
"Lothur? Are you back? What happened?" An elder of the Becker family asked as he saw and started running beside young Ritter.
Lothur looked at that level 13 person, someone who had fought beside him when the group of local leaders attacked him along with his group going to the Finn Mountains.
"Yes, I\'m back now. But anyway, I\'ll talk to my allies later, so I\'ll tell you what happened to you when we\'re all together."
"OK." That person replied before leaving in the direction of his family\'s headquarters to notify his leaders of Lothur\'s situation.
Lothur then continued on his way until he arrived at the Morning Star Academy, where he was narrowly denied entry due to his beast and the time.
It was already late afternoon in Peters City, and the common activities at the academy were already finishing, to return only the next day.
But luckily, Lothur managed to enter the gates of this institution and run to the mission hall, where he had a few minutes to finish his mission in time.
On the way there, several students leaving after a day of classes at the academy began to look in shock and awe at the young man on top of the white-furred fox.
"Hey, isn\'t that Lothur? I thought he was dead!"
"The damned thing is tough to kill!"
"Hmm, a bad pot doesn\'t break!"
"But what about this beast? I feel incredibly threatened by it..."
"This damn bastard is too lucky! He survived and even got a mount!"
Amidst the many murmurs in the surroundings, Lothur managed to get in front of the quest hall, where he had to separate from Ice, as that creature would not be able to enter that building.
Lothur stopped and looked at the surroundings as he got off his mount. "If anyone here thinks funny with it, I will skin your bodies while you are still alive!"
Gulp!
The students of this academy already knew that Lothur was not someone they could easily mess with and promptly took his words to heart.
Meanwhile, some of the Angelic Feathers faction members in the surroundings realized that Larissa\'s ally had finally returned.
"He\'s more arrogant than before..." The second strongest woman of that faction saw this as she was leaving the mission hall next to one of her faction mates.
"I wonder what happened? A 5th Revolution beast like that is not easy to get." That level 12 fellow commented, curious but also pleased about it.
Larissa had made a deal with the family she would create with the Ritter Motor Company. So since this fellow, as well as other high-level members in Angelic Feathers, were going to form this family with that woman, Lothur getting stronger was a benefit to themselves!
"I don\'t know. Let\'s talk to Larissa to see how we move forward..."
Meanwhile, after scaring the academy students away from approaching Ice, Lothur quickly reached the reception desk where students could deliver their mission results.
"Hello, I want to finalize a collective mission of my group." He said as he stood before a beautiful mature woman, who promptly identified him.
"Lothur? Lothur Ritter?"
"Yes, that\'s me. Is there a problem?"
She watched him with her mouth open, remembering that the academy principal gave a lot of importance to this young man and talked about him with his closest subordinates daily.
Since she and anyone else in this academy would have to warn that man about Lothur\'s return, she could not help but be surprised to see him in front of her.
"It\'s nothing. What mission are you talking about?" She asked as she opened the agenda of missions about to be finished.
"A group mission that was supposed to be the test for students trying to get into factions. I had until today to deliver my group\'s results." He said as that woman flipped through the sheets of that agenda, finding the record of that mission.
"Oh, yes, it\'s here. Miss Elke Becker\'s team... Well, your group leader has already given the mission\'s results, so you don\'t need to worry about that." She smiled at Lothur as she saw the message there.
"Uh? What do you mean?" Lothur wondered. "I thought this mission could only be completed with all team members present. Since I wasn\'t around, I thought that was still incomplete."
"That should be the case." She nodded and showed it to Lothur. "But the principal accepted the termination of the mission when Miss Elke Becker handed in her results..."
"You can now go ahead with the procedures for joining the faction you have chosen."
