Chapter 48 A Little Leisure, A Little Distress

After finishing those three people, Lothur wasted no time and ran from that area, using his movement technique to move away from there.

He had not taken anything from those people since he was not a criminal who robbed his opponents. But, on the other hand, there was always the risk of stolen items being traced, so doing such a thing did not seem attractive to him.

Hence, besides taking revenge on those people, Lothur accomplished nothing else on that occasion, having just left the three and the two children from before lying in that area.

After this, he changed his clothes before arriving in a busier part of the city and also put away the mask he had received from Elke earlier.

'Wow!'

'That was truly amazing!' He smiled as he returned home, feeling a sense of gratification throughout his being.

'Is this how cultivators feel when dealing with weaker people?'

'Magnificent!' He looked down at his hands, feeling his strength.

'No wonder that fellow tried to challenge me earlier! He advanced and was overconfident about defeating me in front of the students in Sector-1!'

A smile then formed on his lips. "Unfortunately, his opponent was me, hehe."

While thinking about the recent events, Lothur passed in front of the central square of this city, a very well organized and brightly lit place where people usually strolled at this time of night.

Several of the province's best restaurants and upscale stores were located there, establishments that stayed open late into the night.

And while these services were the most used in this place, there were people there who were just walking or having fun in the open air, near the central statue of this city.

In the middle of that square was a 10-meter high statue, made entirely of a super-strong metal alloy, which guaranteed the durability of this historical monument made in honor of the founder of this city.

Such an individual had created this place more than 30,000 years ago, at a time before the current dynasty. And even considering the political change, his statue remained there, and his last name became the name of the city where Lothur now lived.

But this was not surprising. According to the legends, such a person had been an Origin Saint in his time, someone that even members of the Leopoldine Dynasty dared not offend.

And seeing the statue of that individual, Lothur could not help but click his tongue, imagining the stories of this cultivation world, of the adventures such a person must have experienced.

'Origin Saint, huh? There must be no one else of that level here in Peters City... Why has the home of someone like that changed so much?' He wondered as he looked in the direction of that statue.

But as he smelled the fragrance of meat coming from one of the kiosks in that area, Lothur put that matter aside, feeling his mouth salivate.

"Buddy, how much is the portion?" He asked as he reached the side of one of the attendants in that place.

"10 bronze coins per serving. You can choose the type of meat you want and one more side dish." The man, who looked to be about 30-years-old, said this as he pointed to the extensive menu on one of the walls of that place.

'10 bronze coins? What a robbery!' Lothur's eyes widened as he looked at that individual.

This amount of coins was not much, but considering that he ate five meals a day and did not even work, paying such an amount for a single meal seemed like a lot.

However, his stomach was already rumbling, and being in that place, Lothur shook his hands and waved to the guy, indicating for him to prepare a portion.

...

Sometime later, one of the servants of House Baier, who was responsible for driving Alric's carriage, finally met the young man.

Earlier Alric's group had followed separately to their meeting with the two young members of the Mouse Company.

After all, they intended to do things they should not do in that place and, as such, had left such a person waiting for them at the academy.

But after more than two hours of waiting for them, this man had begun to sense that something was wrong and followed the tracks of his young master and those two 'friends' of Alric.

In this way, he had reached that isolated place where five injured bodies were lying in the middle of the same street Lothur had acted earlier.

"Young master!" This middle-aged man, black and white hair, a little overweight, shouted as he ran toward the bloodied Alric.

As he came closer to that young man, the servant soon realized the extreme condition of Alric's body, which, as much as it was not at risk, was bruised to a worrying extent.

'How could this have happened? How did the young master end up in this state?' His eyes fluttered in disbelief as he looked at Alric with pity.

He then once again observed the two children in that place and soon recognized them. 'Those are members of the Mouse Company.'

'What did the young master want here?'

'No, that doesn't matter now! The most important thing is that the young master was injured in this place while he was with these people!'

'I must find out if the Mouse Company dared to act against the young master!' He made up his mind just before taking the five bodies in that place to Alric's carriage.

For the moment, he could not delay in taking Alric back to the Baier estate. Still, he would soon begin to investigate this matter.

With this in mind, this person could not leave anyone behind!

...

Some more time later, the patriarch of the Baier family finally left his son's room with a livid expression on his face, full of anger at what had happened.

"How dare anyone do this to my son?" He shouted for everyone in his residence to hear him, as looks of hatred spread throughout that place.

Alric's mother, who at the moment had tears in her eyes, ignored her husband's fit of rage and looked thoughtfully at the family doctor.

"Doctor Straub, isn't there anything you can do for my son? We cannot accept this loss!" She said, looking out the door of Alric's room from where she was picturing the scene she saw earlier.

Her son's groin had been so brutalized that Alric's two precious jewels had been completely crushed!

At the same time, his little friend, who had once looked healthy and growing bigger and bigger, now looked like a dented hose, full of bruises.

Thinking about how this could affect her only son's future, that woman could not help but question that doctor about the future of Alric's manhood.

"Sigh..." An old man with a mustache and long white hair sighed deeply, expressing his regret in his expression.

"Madam Baier, my abilities are limited, so I cannot say for certain the young master's future."

"But as far as I am concerned, I am sorry to inform you, but I cannot imagine the young master fully recovering from this loss."

"I believe he may regain some of his manhood with time. But only the future can tell us whether he will be fertile or even able to fulfill his responsibilities as a man."

"I believe that even the Coroner Klossner would be unable to do anything in this situation..." He commented in a low voice, quoting the best doctor in the province.

"That..." Alric's mother shuddered upon hearing that.

"That can't be!" Alric's aunt, who was also there, shouted angrily, finding it unacceptable that her nephew would meet such a tragic fate. "There must be something we can do!"

But doctor Straub did not know what to say to these people. 'Whoever did this, such a person has certainly destroyed this young man's future.'

'There is no way his body can fully recover from something like that!' He pondered silently, thinking that if Alric was younger, such a thing could be reversed. But since that individual was already nearing his biological maturity, there was not much his body could do.

'Well, at least he can recover from his other injuries without affecting his talent.' He sighed, remembering that there were men in this world who did not involve themselves in certain worldly matters...

"We can't leave little Alric like that!"

"That is unacceptable!"

"How will the young master continue the family lineage like that?"

"Ah, what a tragedy!"

Several comments arose in that area as the Baier patriarch boiled with anger.

"Ahhh! I will kill whoever did that!" Such an individual shouted with all his might, looking in the direction of his son.

"Addler! Addler!"

"Go investigate that matter alongside servant Lanzo!"

"I want you to bring me the person responsible for this incident as soon as possible!" He gave his orders to one of his subordinates there.
