Mixed Blessing System

Hearing Jacob's question, Lothur looked in the direction of this young man and then at the corpses around that street they were on.

Murders were forbidden within Peters City, and if they were caught, trouble could follow them for a long time. But on the other hand, Lothur and Elke were on a protection mission, so they had the prerogative to act vigorously in such a situation.

At the very least, the Morning Star Academy would have to be on their side. After all, it needed to reassure its clients that its students would do their best to protect them in similar situations.

With that in mind, Elke was not so worried about Lothur being imprisoned for these deaths. However, since he did not want to expose his strength to the whole city, this man did not want to use legal means to resolve this situation.

In this case, this was a concern for him!

He thought for a moment and then asked those two. "Do you have bags with you?"

"Bags?" Jacob did not understand what Lothur wanted, sharpening his gaze as he looked at him in doubt.

"You wouldn't be thinking..." Elke was about to say her estimate when Lothur exposed his ideas to them.

"Now that they are already dead, it makes no difference what happens to their bodies. So, I will dismember them and take their remains out of the city."

"After that, I will cremate or eliminate their parts," Lothur said in a confident tone.

He then looked at the beautiful face of the woman hugging his waist and asked. "By the way, is it possible for us to eliminate the evidence of what happened here?"

"If we were at the 2nd stage, we would only have to use some of our energy to erode the blood marks in the surroundings. But since we can't manipulate spiritual energy outside our bodies yet, only with external items will we be able to do that..."

Jacob found their conversation strange and asked. "Wait a moment. Why do you want to get rid of these bodies as if you have done something wrong? Let's just call the guards, and this will be resolved before midnight."

"No. That would be a problem." Lothur commented as he looked into that young man's eyes, making Jacob momentarily remember how powerful he was.

'Lothur is truly a monster without equal, yet he is by Elke's side on a mission...'

'Is that just because they are a couple, or is there another justification?' Jacob was silent for a moment, thinking about this situation he had put himself in.

'In any case, he's powerful enough to kill a group of six, two of whom are 3rd Transformation cultivators. So that means he's probably close to 5th Transformation at the very least!'

'Hmmm.'

'I'd better do something to keep in touch with someone so talented!' Jacob finally made up his mind.

Considering Lothur's age, he would not be considered exceptionally talented within the Morning Star Academy. At most, he would be on the same talent level as Annaliese.

However, that was an institution where the most talented members of the provincial nobility studied. So, considering only the standards of ordinary cultivators, as in the case of Jacob and his family, Lothur's talent was already of an extremely high level!

And because of how good a trainer Lothur seemed to be, Jacob could not help but use this situation to get closer to such a potential expert.

"All right, I have a way to eliminate this evidence. You just need to take care of these bodies." The 14 or 15-year-old boy said while summoning a green bottle from his spatial ring.

"This corrosive liquid can degrade common substances such as blood and other bodily fluids." He said as he pointed to the stains on the surroundings.

"We just need to mix a few milliliters with water and use that to wash those stained places."

Hearing that, Elke immediately retrieved the bottle with water that was on her spatial ring, indicating for Lothur and Jacob to do the same.

"Great!" Lothur smiled at the two while receiving three large cloth bags from Jacob. "You two can clean up that mess. In the meantime, I will collect these bodies."

"Okay!"

After that, it did not take long for them to get down to cleaning up, with Lothur dismembering his opponents' bodies and placing them in those bags.

His actions that night had been exaggerated. But after his first encounter with death and nearly being poisoned, he was more determined than ever to keep his secret safe. And considering how hateful those people had been when referring to Elke, he had reached this point where he had dismembered them without discomfort or resentment.

He was not a fool and had already realized that if he were not decisive, then he would sooner or later be destroyed by people capable of being so.

Anyway, with that street cleared of traces of Lothur's short 'battle' with the bandits from earlier, this man managed to get two of those three bags into his spatial ring.

But he had to keep the third one in hand while they headed towards the place Jacob was supposed to leave.

...

After arriving inside a warehouse where several wagons were being loaded or unloaded, those three soon arrived at the side of Jacob's family's means of transport.

As they stopped there, the silver-haired man with a black sack on his back stopped beside the beautiful Elke and said goodbye to that young man, exchanging a few words with the coachman of that wagon.

"Well, it looks like everything worked out fine. Thanks for the service, young people." An old man with white hair and 5th Transformation cultivation said this to the two in front of him.

"Hmm, we just did our job," Elke said with a smile on her face.

"By the way, what is that bag you are carrying? It looks heavy." The old man looked at that strangely, finding such a thing unusual.

Lothur then laughed and said. "Oh, about that, we found some wild animals in those streets, and I was forced to act after they went against Jacob."

"I didn't want to leave the carcass behind and put them in this bag."

"Do you want to see it?" Lothur made the motion to bring that bag forward, smiling at that man.

Gulp!

Hearing that, Elke and Jacob became nervous, shocked by Lothur's boldness in risking to show what was in that bag to such a person.

And as they swallowed their salivas in anticipation, that old fellow laughed and said. "There is no need."

Lothur smiled back and took that bag back to his back. "Well, if that's all, we say goodbye here."

"If fate permits, we'll see you again." He nodded to Jacob before taking one of Elke's hands and starting to leave that area.

Seeing that, Jacob waved back, already anxious about seeing these people again.

"Looks like you saw a lot today, huh?" That coachman finally asked something after seeing that Lothur and Elke had disappeared from his sight. "How was the experience with those two? That young man doesn't seem simple to me, although I don't feel his cultivation..."

"Well, Lothur and Elke make a good pair. And perhaps because of that, I learned and saw many new things today..."

"Oh? That's the first time I've seen you praising someone, young master."

"Hmm, well, keep his name in your mind. Then, if Lothur shows up in Lewerenz, that may be the chance for our family to bond with him."

...

Meanwhile, Lothur and Elke had just left that street where the previous incident had developed.

"Lothur, why did you do that? What if that man had asked to see that bag?" She said in an unsure tone, thinking what he had done was too risky.

But Lothur said nothing to her about it, only having smiled at the cute expression on Elke's face. 'When lying, naturally you have to act in such a way that it looks as if even you believe the lie...'

She watched him, waiting for his answer, but she did not hear what she was waiting about. "Elke, I'm going to take you to the vicinity of your house, then I'll deal with these leftovers..."

"Is that okay with you?"

"Uh? Why don't we do this together?"

"I'll dispose of these bodies outside the city, so it might be dangerous for me to take you to a place I don't know overnight."

"I feel more comfortable if you return to your residence."

Hearing his concern, she remembered what she had heard earlier when Lothur had called her his woman.

Thinking of this, she felt a warmth in her body again, determined to be with this man.

Elke then looked to either side of the deserted street they were passing and directed Lothur against one of the walls there, causing him to drop that black bag. She then went for his lips!

"Mmmmmmmmmm~"

Suffering Elke's advance, Lothur accepted her, promptly embracing her slender waist as he kissed her fervently.

"Lothur, I want you to go straight to our room tomorrow morning..." She said as she parted her lips from his, speaking into this man's left ear.

Hearing that, Lothur more or less understood what she wanted because of her tone. Still, before he could say anything, Elke sucked his neck, leaving a little mark there.

"Perfect!" He laughed, eager to solve the 'problem' of his body.

After that, it was not long before the two returned to the well-lit and organized part of Peters City, where they parted ways.
