When Mabel sensed with her spiritual sense what the other Peters City Transcendents were doing, she immediately frowned and stood up.
She was cultivating in the training chamber of her home. Still, upon observing the movements of those two men and noticing something strange, she decided to go after them.
Mabel could not sense all of Peters City with her sense, so she often watched the movements of only the local leaders, focusing on the two Transcendents.
Of course, she also watched her husband and her two daughters when they were not with Lothur.
She felt a great disgust for him, so she would always stop watching any people who were with Lothur just so she would not have to feel the presence of her son-in-law.
Because of this, she did not know about the things Lothur did with her daughters, but she also had not noticed the attack from earlier.
News of the event would still spread locally to the point of reaching her. Thus, all she knew was that two of the strongest local leaders were flying together with two bodies on their backs.
These two bodies were not weak, so she immediately flew off in the direction where they had left moments ago.
Mabel was faster than those two individuals, so even though she was starting at a disadvantage, she managed to catch up with them just as they had finished putting pills in those two mouths.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ At that instant, Luis and Chris were starting to fly back to Peters City when she saw them.
'Uh? They didn't notice me?' Her eyes grew even sharper, not understanding how these two experts had not noticed someone at the same level as them so close to them.
She had hidden as she noticed their escape route, but at no point had Mbel thought she would not be noticed since they were also supposed to be monitoring her movements.
'Are they so distracted as not to notice me? Unbelievable, if I were an enemy, I would have been able to launch a deadly dangerous attack at point-blank range!' She watched the two of them leave without looking back, then immediately looking toward the two Transcendents on the ground.
Mabel realized that they both had pills melting in their mouths, slowly beginning to make their bodies recover.
Since she did not have much time until they awoke, Viktoria and Annaliese's mother rushed to the two's side and quickly took off their masks.
"What?" She jumped backward as she identified where these people were from.
'What is going on here? Why are people from the Secret Guard here in Peters City? Don't tell me that old man is looking for trouble in this place?' She wondered before covering back the faces of the two and running away from there in a hurry.
...
Half an hour after Mabel's departure...
The two envoys of Lothur's grandfather awoke and had already taken new pills to recover more of their bodies.
Even the man who had had his spine significantly damaged to the point that he could not stand before had managed to regenerate it enough to run.
But finding themselves in that place, the two could not ignore what had happened and the significance of it all.
"Someone helped us." The woman commented in a somber tone. "Someone in Peters City found out where we came from and probably saw our faces..."
"Hmmm." The man nodded in agreement, concerned. "They didn't want to get involved, so they abandoned us here."
As much as they were helped, neither of them was happy. Why was that? Not only had they failed in their mission, but they had had their identities revealed to someone else!
They belonged to a force called the Secret Guard, which, as its name implied, was secret, and the identities of its members were a secret known only to its leader.
These men of the Secret Guard also had roles within the Empire's forces, so the identity of one of them being compromised was a big problem that could lead to the failure of many missions.
Consequently, those two were more concerned with this problem than with the failure to kidnap Lothur.
Lothur was already very strong, and they could not be blamed for misinformation regarding this young man's powers. But the other problem, well, they had nowhere to run!
"Damn it!"
"What are we going to do now?" He asked his companion.
"Sigh!"
"Let's go back to the capital and see what happens... In any case, it's not our fault if Lothur defeated us and someone took advantage of the situation to discover our identities."
...
While those two were leaving the province and Lothur was going on with his business, before the opening of his factory, Elisabeth was in her residence, teaching her students.
This poison master who had taught Lothur the poison art already knew the situation of her first pupil and was eagerly awaiting the day he could advance to 2-star rank.
Meanwhile, she continued her business as a local poison master, leaving the affairs of the Ritter Motor Company to her allies and focusing on teaching her other three students.
Just at this moment, all three were standing there in front of her, finishing having their questions answered by this experienced local cultivator.
Unlike on Earth, where the most normal thing was to teach theory and leave practice with less importance, in Concordia, professors used only the practice.
Each student was responsible for reading the theory on their own to learn a spiritual profession.
When a student had the theory up to date, the master would appear to teach them the practice and take exams to measure how far their pupils could train alongside them.
Moreover, masters would only answer their disciples' questions without wasting time explaining things that anyone would find in books.
So this woman was finishing answering these three questions. At the same time, one of them had a smiling expression on her face, another an ugly expression, and the only man there was neutral.
Rebecca was pleased about the things she had recently heard from Lothur, whom she had brought to her mistress. But, on the other hand, her rival was angry, as Lothur was showing impressive signs, overshadowing even the one she hated the most.
Since Rosa wanted more than anything to be Elisabeth's first and most important disciple, the seceding of Lothur and even Rebecca was only getting in her way.
As for the third student there, he had nothing against Lothur, nor was he concerned about Rosa and Rebecca's dispute. So he focused on his future as a poison master, gathering the answers to his questions.
But amidst this, Rebecca suddenly showed strange behavior, becoming more serious and then getting off balance.
"Becca?" Elisabeth asked as she stood up and saw her student falling.
At that instant, a dark mist began to escape from Rebecca's Poison Body, and the three people in her vicinity realized the problem.
"Her Poison Body is getting out of control!" Elisabeth shouted unconsciously.
At the same time, the two young people there turned pale with fear, knowing that when such a thing happened, Peters City itself could be in danger!
