nUpon hearing Alric’s threatening words, the two youths, who could not even be 14-years-old, felt pressured, but they also did not want to have to give their coins.

nIf they did this here, there was a risk that in the future, they would not be able to keep their earnings because customers would always try things like this when they did not get the best results.

nWhen this happened, it would be the end of their business, or maybe even their lives!

nAfter all, weakness could lead to abuse, and abuse would lead to more drastic situations, with the violence, of course.

nWith that in mind, they could not back down in the face of those three.

n“If you will act against us, be prepared to deal with the consequences of pissing off the entire Mouse Company.” The one who looked more muscular said this, trying to sound confident.

n“Mouse Company, huh?” Alric said with a contemptuous smile on his face. “What can you guys do to me, the young master of the Baier family?”

n“I think that even if I get rid of you here and now, your little group would not care, and maybe your leaders would come and ask for my forgiveness…”

n“Haha, young master, let’s finish these idiots off in one fell swoop!” The tall, muscular young man said this while was already holding a wooden stick in his hands.

n‘Oh?’

nAnd Lothur promptly noticed that item that had caused him countless seconds of pain. ‘So that wretch was one of the three who attacked me!’

n‘Very good! I can deal with those brats in one go!’ A smile appeared beneath the mask Lothur was wearing as he watched those people from afar.

nHe did not feel ready to act yet because it seemed more interesting to let those people cause more trouble in that area.

nLothur was not listening to the conversation of those five individuals. Still, because of the bodily disposition of each of them, he felt that things were not developing well.

nAnd thinking that it would be interesting to let the two sides fight so that he could perhaps use such a thing to his advantage, he just continued to watch them in silence.

n‘If they fight, there will be one more suspect to what I will do with them later…’ An even more satisfied smile formed on Lothur’s face.

nAs this silver-haired man watched the situation, Alric’s group acted against the two youths, quickly beating them, something easy for them due to the difference in strength between the parties.

nAs they watched the convulsing bodies of those two youths, now full of wounds on their bodies, Alric’s two minions collected the items around the bodies of their targets.

n“Tsk!”

n“Those damn rats had hardly any coins with them!” The one who seemed the weakest of the three said this angrily.

n“Looks like they know how to guard their resources…” The young man with the stick in his hands said thoughtfully. “That must be why no one has come to protect them.”

n“Humph!”

n“But more important than getting my coins back, we teach these bastards a lesson,” Alric said as he looked with contempt at the bloodied face of one of those two. “That’s what happens when you challenge me!”

n“Uh?”

nBut just as he was getting ready to kick that individual’s head in, Alric turned on his back, realizing that someone else was in the vicinity.

n“Who are you?” He asked in an authoritative tone, looking in the direction of a masked person wearing a large black overcoat.

nName: Alric Baier

nCultivation: level 2

nSTR: 2.8 CON: 2.0 DEX: 2.1 AGI: 2.4

nLothur looked at the stats of his primary target while thinking about how to deal with these people.

nHe could use his newly learned attack technique, but this could turn into a massacre, something he wanted to avoid.

nHe did not want to leave several mutilated bodies in that place. No, he wanted to teach those three a lesson that would get them a few months off the streets.

nWith that, he could not use the ax!

n‘I think I’ll get that stick for myself…’ He looked in the direction of the tall, muscular young man.

nThe stick was not a weapon he had trained in. Still, as he thought about it, Lothur judged that if he used such a thing as his ax, he could cause his opponents quite a bit of pain without putting them at risk.

nName: ****

nCultivation: level 1

nSTR: 2.2 CON: 1.8 DEX: 2.1 AGI: 1.4

nAfter realizing the strengths and weaknesses of that target, Lothur ignored Alric’s earlier question and made his first move!

nCross Walk!

nIn that instant, he activated his movement technique, crossing the fifteen meters separating him from his targets until he reached the back of that tall, muscular young man.

nLothur had more than four times the Agility and nearly three times the Constitution of such a person. So, Alric’s minion did not even notice his enemy approaching his back.

n“Look out!” Alric shouted in surprise when he noticed one of the hands of that mysterious opponent stealing the wooden stick from his minion without any resistance.

nBut it was already too late for that minion. Once he felt his weapon disappearing from his hands, his eyes opened wide, and he saw the shadow on his back.

nPow!

n“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

nThe tall, muscular young man was kicked hard in one of his knees by Lothur, beginning to cry out in pain. At the same time, he fell to the ground and felt that part of his body in an unnatural position.

n“Bastard!” Alric’s other minion shouted in hatred as he saw the result of a single attack from this mysterious enemy, feeling how vicious such a person was.

n‘He wanted to screw with my knee earlier, so it’s only fair to let him feel some of his own medicine!’ Lothur had no regrets about kicking his target’s knee while feeling incredible for ‘fighting’ here.

nBut as Alric looked at the situation, he suddenly turned pale, examining in terror the enemy in front of him. ‘That’s a cultivator of at least 3rd Transformation!’ His back shivered as he thought the worst.

nThe strength used earlier by Lothur was definitely more significant than that of someone at the 2nd Transformation. Therefore, Alric already knew that his opponent had the power of at least 3rd Transformation. However, since he felt nothing of his enemy’s cultivation, he was starting to get nervous about having to face someone even more substantial than that!

n‘Damn it!’

n‘I’ll have to run!’ He made up his mind before turning and started running away, abandoning his two minions.

nAfter seeing that, Lothur wasted no time. He looked at the other minion who was next to him and leaped into the air. He then spun his body in a direction that directed much of his strength in one of his feet against his opponent’s arms.

n“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

nBoth of that young man’s thin arms immediately fractured at several different points, with him flying backward until he fell onto the ground, bawling in pain.

nThen, Lothur again used his movement technique to stop Alric’s escape.

n“Damn it!”

n“Bastard! Do you know who I am? You dare to touch the Baier family heir?” Alric said amidst his agitated breathing, appealing to the only thing that could save him at the moment.

nUnfortunately for him, his opponent was not the type to be intimidated by mere words.

n“Is that so?” Lothur finally said something, but due to the mask on his face, his voice was muffled enough for that young man to recognize him. “Well, let me tell you something…”

n“Your family is not here!”

n“I’ll make sure you never forget that!” Finally, Lothur reached Alric and spun the stick in the air until he attacked his target in the direction of his enemy’s groin.

n“Oh, no…” Alric shuddered in fear as he realized where Lothur’s attack was heading, already with tears in his eyes.

nCrack!

n“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” A thunderous cry of desperation came from that young man’s throat, startling even the two already highly injured young men.

n‘That’s for trying to hurt me the other day!’ Lothur kept that stick on Alric’s groin, pressing hard on such a thing.

nAfter that, he used the stick again, this time to hit that young man in the shins. ‘That’s for trying to interfere in my relationship with Elke!’

nPow!

n“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

n…

n‘That’s for thinking about my woman!’ 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

nPow!

n“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

nFinally, after several blows, Lothur had hit both of Alric’s arms and legs and finished ‘smashing’ what was in the groin of such an opponent.

nIn the midst of this, Alric fainted in pain, as did his minions, who had fainted even earlier due to the terror of having seen Lothur doing such cruelty to their leader.

nHowever, when he was finished with that person, Lothur did not forgive those two. Instead, he made a point of beating them some more, making sure that each of them became even worse than he was after that beating a few days ago.

n…
