"What a terrible thing! I never thought there were people living lives like that!" Elke commented in shock, her body still on top of his. "How could she have done that to her husband? For that matter, how dare she abandon her children?"
"It's a tragedy..." Lothur commented in a sighing tone.
Suse was a victim, true. She had been addicted to stimulant drugs and had then been 'trained' to seek a 'new' kind of happiness in her life.
That had all been forced upon her by someone else, who had probably not asked her if she wanted it and had only used his dubious means to dominate her.
However, even though she was a victim and the brothel owner had used her, this did not change the fact that she had betrayed her husband and gotten involved with her 'master' at first.
She had made the choices she wanted and eventually fell into the hands of someone evil. Now she and her entire family would have to bear the brunt of her choices!
Knowing this, Elke and Lothur had no mercy on Suse and saw her guilt in all of this.
If she were a single woman who had been seduced, they would understand her situation and see her more as a victim. But as a wife, a mother of three, her actions could not be forgotten!
"What will this family become now?" She asked, worried about the children. "If they find out what their mother did, they will be traumatized for the rest of their lives. None of them may be able to have normal relationships in the future..."
"What about this husband of hers? What if he wants to forgive her and bring her back to his home?"
Hearing this, Lothur laughed bitterly and said. "If that happens, he would only destroy his own family. That woman is broken and has no salvation."
"Even if he found a way to erase her memories?" Elke asked.
"That wouldn't do any good." Lothur shook his head negatively. "She betrayed him at first even though she had no experience or memory concerning it. Something motivated her to do that. So, she would eventually repeat her actions without solving this problem, even if we erased her memories."
"That makes sense..." Elke understood Lothur's point.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"To make it worse," He continued. "Suse got involved with someone who put her in that degraded world. That means she doesn't have good judgment regarding the people she is involved with. Thus, sooner or later, she would bring trouble to this whole family."
"In this situation, she 'just' got dominated and became a prostitute. But what if her 'master' decided to kill her husband? Or else, ruin the lives of those children?"
His eyes sharpened, and he commented in a cold tone. "Anyway, there are people who don't deserve to be rescued. Some people need to be abandoned and forgotten."
"That's cruel, but crueler is to ruin countless lives for the sake of a single person."
Elke was silent for a moment as she listened to Lothur's words, silently agreeing with him, even though this was a ruthless view. 'This poor family will be better off if this woman is away.'
'At most, the children will suffer for a few months, but eventually, they will get over the loss of their mother and smile again.'
She then said. "You can't give up this mission, Lothur. As you said, this woman doesn't deserve a second chance, and this family is in danger of being destroyed if this betrayed man doesn't get the information you got."
Seeing a little anger in Elke's eyes, Lothur smiled and brought her face closer to his. "We seem to think alike. I was a little doubtful, but really, this man deserves to see reality."
After that, he kissed her intensely for a few seconds before they finished their business and got dressed.
"Elke, after we complete that mission we will do this weekend, I want to advance to Sector-2. Will you do that with me?"
She nodded at him, indicating yes. "I was already thinking about that..."
After they finished their business there, he walked toward the exit and asked. "I'm going to the betrayed husband's house now. Do you want to go with me?"
"Uh? Are you sure? Isn't it better if he hears it from just one person?" She asked, feeling it would not be easy to speak this cruel truth to such an individual.
Lothur laughed and said. "If he hears your opinion on the matter, the chance that he will believe and follow my suggestion will be greater. Some men can't undo the fantastical female image in their minds when other men advise them."
"To them, it's as if someone is trying to ruin their fairy tale." He remembered friends of his in his previous life.
"And why would it be different with me?"
"Because you are a woman, someone usually worshiped by these people. So, if this husband is one of those individuals, it will be easier for him to hear from another woman that his wife is lost."
"That..." She hesitated but soon decided, "All right, I'll go with you."
"Then, let's go."
...
After leaving the academy, Lothur and Elke barely walked a few dozen yards from that place when they were stopped by a man dressed in a black suit.
"Mister Heinz?" Elke recognized this middle-aged man who stopped them, one of her father's trusted people.
Seeing that fellow, Lothur saw that such a man was at level 9, with the best attributes he had the chance to see.
But this silver-haired man was not intimidated by this person and just stood there beside Elke as if he were standing in front of someone ordinary. "Who is this, Elke?" He casually asked.
"Lothur, that is one of my father's people." She said a little nervously, not knowing what would happen next. 'What does he want?'
Mister Heinz then looked intently at the person in front of him and asked. "So you are young Lothur? Are you a friend of the young miss?"
"Yes, we are good friends." Lothur laughed as he touched one of Elke's shoulders and brought her closer to him.
Seeing Elke's face blushing, that man almost felt that there was something wrong between these two, but as he remembered what he had seen, he felt that this was probably nothing. 'That young man probably doesn't like women, so the young miss treats him like a female friend.'
'That must be the case.' He sighed, feeling a little disappointed that someone with Lothur's appearance had cut the wrong way. 'He went to a brothel two days in a row, but even though he had the chance, he didn't do anything with those two women...'
'He's definitely weird.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sigh..."
"Well, I'm glad to meet a friend of the young miss." He smiled after sighing, surprising Elke completely.
'What? How can that be? He doesn't see a problem with Lothur's behavior?' Elke looked strangely at her father's underling.
Mister Heinz continued. "Young Lothur, today I have come into your way because I come bearing an invitation from the patriarch, the young miss' father."
"Oh? What the father-i..." He was about to call the patriarch Becker his father-in-law and then coughed twice. "Uh, what does Elke's father want with me?"
"What does my father want?" Elke also asked, worried.
"The patriarch wants to invite the young miss' friend to a dinner tomorrow night. Would you be willing to go along with that arrangement, young Lothur?"
"A dinner?" She looked at Lothur, wondering what this might lead to. 'Will my father do something against him?' She swallowed her saliva in concern.
"All right, I'm looking forward to meeting Elke's father." Lothur laughed. "I feel that we will be very close in the future."
"That..." Heinz found this comment odd, but he only shook his head from side to side before saying goodbye, saying that Elke would take him to the Becker residence when the time was right.
"Lothur..." She tugged at his shirt after seeing that such a man had disappeared.
"Don't worry, Elke. That will be a good opportunity for me and us. Who knows, maybe your father will decide to turn you over to me after a few conversations, haha." He laughed, taking one of her hands and following back to his goal.
...
After a while, Elke and Lothur arrived in front of an average house by local standards, which indicated that this place's residents were neither poor nor rich.
Seeing this, Lothur realized that Suse had abandoned a comfortable life, reaffirming his decision to tell Otto Waltz the truth.
He then knocked on the entrance gate and waited beside Elke for two minutes until a man who looked to be around 40, tall, neither fat nor thin, of ordinary appearance, appeared to meet them.
"Who are you? What do you want?" A voice laden with negativity came from this man's throat.
"Sir, we are after someone named Otto Waltz. We are from the Morning Star Academy. We have the results of an investigation left by that person." Lothur said in a solemn tone.
"Oh? Finally!" This man's eyes and mouth suddenly opened, and he rushed to welcome this beautiful couple. "Young people, sorry for not introducing myself. I am Otto Waltz..."
