Mixed Blessing System

Upon hearing Lothur's words, Larissa somehow calmed down a bit, even considering that her big goal, the Secret Realm, was starting to get further away from her.

"Tomorrow? But that's just the factory. It will still be a while before you start the vehicle production." She said.

"Hmm, but starting tomorrow, the professionals directly related to vehicle production and I will produce cars daily. Some might work." He said with a smile on his face. "Since some cars will be ready before others, we will have some ready to run in a few days."

"Really? But won't you start producing them only when you have all the models ready?" She asked.

Lothur answered her. "No. As soon as we have the first model ready and the connected business of producing cars ready, I will launch the first vehicle."

Lothur planned to first launch an ordinary passenger car, useful for people going to work or moving around the city with friends or family.

He would use such a model to attract the attention of the wealthy public and sell his first units.

Soon after, he intended to launch the local transportation company, which would make trips between cities in the province and even around Peters City.

Through this, he intended to popularize independent animal-powered vehicles, showing the potential of his 'creation.'

From then on, it would only be a matter of time before vehicles for carrying heavy items, among others, would appear in his stores!

With this, Lothur intended to sell his vehicles even before the Secret Realm, which would take place in 39 days.

Larissa could not help but get a little anxious about this and felt her stress subside a bit.

Meanwhile, Lothur was looking at her status.

[Name: Larissa Carstensen]

[Soul Cultivation: level 14]

[Body Cultivation: level 11]

[STR: 70.9 -> 71.7]

[CON: 75.4 -> 75.9]

[DEX: 72.7 -> 73.5]

[AGI: 73 -> 74.2]

[SOU: ???]

'Anyway, you shouldn't worry about me... Even Annaliese might try to challenge you at competition time if things continue as they are.' Lothur thought about this in silence, considering how fast his women were growing.

Lothur had concluded that improving a cultivator's physique so quickly would make 'room' for rapid soul growth. Because of this, in his theory, Elke, Viktoria, and Annaliese were growing faster than they should, even using crystals.

Students from different sectors could challenge people from lower sectors to compete for the Secret Realm slots. So Lothur considered that even if Larissa challenged people from lower sectors, she would still have difficult opponents to overcome.

Elke had already moved up to Sector 3 during the weeks that Lothur was away, and Annaliese was in Sector 5.

There was a chance that Larissa would try to challenge one of them so as not to lose her chance to go to the Secret Realm. Hence, Lothur was curious about what would happen because of his 'intervention.'

'I want to see what will happen, hehe.'

...

Meanwhile, at the provincial government headquarters...

Luis was standing next to Chris Waldeaur in front of the two who had come from the empire's capital to kidnap Lothur on orders from his grandfather.

After taking them from that previous street, Luis had led them out of the city, trying to escape the local forces and allow those two to escape. But in his attempt, he was stopped by the Duke, who was curious to know who was openly acting against the emperor's words.

With this situation, Luis had been forced to return to this place alongside the Duke and was now standing in front of those two injured individuals, with Chris suspecting his involvement in all this.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "It's not what you're thinking. It's just that these are men that we cannot reveal their identities nor arrest them. They represent a person we can't mess with!"

"Oh? Who is that person?" The Duke asked, not knowing about Lothur's grandfather, although he did know about Daemon, a famous outlaw.

Luis hesitated for a moment and then said in one of Chris's ears. "Those are men..."

At that instant, he muttered the person's name in a different language than humans usually spoke to prevent the 'walls' from hearing what he had to say.

After he heard Luis, the Duke opened his eyes wide, understanding the why of many things, including discovering Daemon's identity.

'So that's why... He actually is that person!'

Gulp!

He looked at the couple in front of him and felt the sensation of almost having arrested that person's envoys.

"But what do we do now? If he wants Lothur to go to the capital, we should act together with these two, not send them back..." He said in a much thinner tone than that of moments ago.

Luis shook his head negatively and said. "Are you crazy? Do you want to get involved in these people's affairs? The best we can do is to stay out of it, allowing these two to return and deal with their own failure."

"If we reveal their identities, we will be forced to help them and still be involved in all this. But if we leave them as they are and release them, we are just two experts giving freedom to colleagues for the courtesy of our years of cultivation!" He said in a whispering tone.

The Duke realized that he would indeed have a lot of trouble if he got involved in this matter and that it was better to let them deal with Lothur.

If he were directly ordered for that person, he would have no choice but to act. But until then, it would be much better to feign ignorance!

With that decided, he looked at Luis and nodded in agreement, ready to follow the academy principal's plans.

"But it's imposing the level Lothur has reached! He can already seriously injure people at our level!" He put one of those two on his back and flew next to Luis.

Luis nodded and said. "Lothur is a cultivation genius, more talented than his father. He will definitely become a Saint in the future!"

"You expect all this from him?"

"Hmm, with his talents and personality, as well as the Ritter Motor Company, he has all the requirements. It's only a matter of time before that happens."

The Duke regretted not realizing this early enough, but without 'crying' too much over spilled milk.

At least he would not be pursued by Lothur. He thought so.

"In any case, we can't leave those two like that..." The Duke looked at the injuries of those two and felt that they would attract trouble anyway if they left them like that.

"Let's give them cellular recovery pills before we leave them. Then, after that, they'll be able to recover and return to the empire capital."

"OK!"

Just like that, two local specialists flew through the skies of Peters City, but only one other person in this entire city noticed them carrying those two.

That person was none other than Mabel!

'Why are they doing this?'
