[1-200] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 149 - Meal

Souta, Bryan, Lumilia, Cluster, and Nayo were sitting around a long table. They were chatting and laughing.

"Please wait, I'll prepare the meal," Lynn said as she placed plates in front of their seat. She then went back to the kitchen to fetch the other things they needed.

Nayo stood up and looked at them. She said, "I'll help Lynn in preparing."

"Okay, thanks." Souta nodded at her and thanked her.

"Oh~ I can't wait. It smells delicious." Bryan said with an excited expression on his face.

Souta looked at Cluster and noticed that she was quiet. It seems that she was wary at Lynn and Nayo. Well, she was always like that in the presence of a stranger.

Cluster already trust Lynn and Nayo because of what happened in the Gripin city. The two got injured while trying to help Lumilia, so Cluster has a good impression of them. It's just that she was close to them that's why she could act like how she usually was.

For Souta, it's just a matter of time before Cluster opened up to Lynn and Nayo.

Souta smiled before he shook his head putting those thoughts at the back of his head. He looked at Lumilia and asked, "Class rep, may I ask a question?"

"Hmm?" Lumilia lifted up her head and looked at Souta. She tilted her head as she didn't know what Souta was going to ask.

"I just wanted to ask if the news about the Gripin city spread out in this place." Souta calmly explained to her what he wanted to know.

"Yeah, I know about it. All the people are talking about you Souta." Bryan suddenly said in a loud voice.

"It's natural..." Souta said to him in a calm tone. He knew that the people involved in that incident were going to be the talk of the town so he wasn't surprised when he heard it.

He looked at Lumilia as if telling her to say what she knows.

"Um... The news about the battle spread quickly in just a day and right now. Almost all people of the Hebrei kingdom knew about the incident in the Gripin city." Lumilia patiently explained everything she knew to Souta.

Souta listened to her calmly while assessing all the information that he received.

He heard from her that after that incident the city guards found Gregory's lifeless body in the dark alley of the city. This news shocked him it seems that someone killed Gregory after he escaped from that last exchange of skills.

Just who? Who would dare to kill a noble head?

This piece of news shocked everyone not only him. The city guards tried to investigate it and they found nothing.

The members of the Vidrato Family blamed Souta for it but luckily a lot of witnesses saw him leaving the battlefield after the powerful explosion.

The city lord and Ursus denied the news that Souta killed Gregory. Both of them provided an explanation and evidence to support their testimony. They posted the autopsy report on Gregory's body.

In the report, Gregory died because of a small blade that pierced his heart and Souta didn't have that kind of weapon when he fought Gregory. Also, there's no way that Souta could conceal such weapon with his clothes at that time.

A lot of people saw Souta left the city so they knew what kind of clothes he was wearing. Also, his clothes were in tottered. It's really impossible for him to conceal it.

That's not the only thing. Souta was also injured at that time to the point that his beast companion needed to carry him just to leave the city.

Then what about the thing that he used beast feram in a fight against Gregory. The city lord and Ursus also said the truth about this. About the monster potion from the past era. They also said that some of the students fought Gregory before Souta and forced him to use a powerful tier 3 spell.
