"Lothur? You have got to be kidding us, Elisabeth! What does he have to do with your disciple's situation? Can he do anything to stop the situation?" Patriarch Baier questioned, feeling that this would only worsen the city's situation.
He normally would not be bothered by a few mortals dying in an incident involving a local cultivator. After all, those were easily replaced.
However, Rebecca's threat could harm thousands of mortals locally, which would already affect families that depended on local trade, such as House Baier.
But not only that but he was also concerned about the thousands of 1st stage cultivators that existed in this city, which further affected the bottom line of local families.
Thus, not only he but other local leaders there were not even thinking about harming Lothur for Rebecca. On the contrary, they feared losses for their families and did not want to have to involve young Ritter in all of this.
