Mixed Blessing System

"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.

That would only complicate the resolution of the problem and create more damage to the noble powers of this area!

"Haha, am I kidding? Then break into my house and kill my disciple and me! I want to see what will happen to you when Lothur finds out about it all!"

"Don't forget that I am his mistress!" She shouted, not liking having to use her position concerning Lothur to scare the others but doing it anyway, for Rebecca's sake.

Hearing that, almost everyone in the vicinity of that house from which the deadly dangerous mist generated by Rebecca's body was spreading reacted by contorting their faces.

"Do we have to do that?"

"If no one says anything to him, wouldn't that be an immense lack of respect?"

"Lack of respect? He's just a child who has just learned to walk on his own!"

"But that child can already kill us..."

Gulp!

The proud elders on the outskirts shut their mouths, with some swallowing their salivas and others considering the situation they had gotten themselves into.

"I'd better go after him," Hilda commented aloud. "I know more or less where he should be at this time, so it won't take long to get him here."

"But..."

"But are we going to let that happen? I mean, we are the local leaders! If we accept that situation, then from now on, wouldn't we have to ask his permission every time we have a problem to solve?" An enemy of Lothur asked.

Gomeric nodded for his wife to go ahead with her plans and said to the person who had just asked a question. "If you don't like how things are shaping up, you have two alternatives. Leave Peters City or challenge young Lothur."

"If you dare not take either path, you should just shut up and accept the change in times."

After those harsh words, everyone there was silent, with Mabel making an ugly expression depending on her son-in-law's answer. At the same time, Chris did not like consulting someone else to decide anything for his territory.

But they both already knew about Lothur's most recent accomplishments and could not do much about it.

'Hmmm, that complicates everything.' Luis thought as he considered that letting Lothur get involved really would not be simple.

They could just act, but Lothur had the emotional factor to get in the way of him making the best decision for everyone.

But even he could not do anything about it, and as Lothur's partner, he had to consult that young man before making any decisions.

"All right, people, let's wait for what Lothur has to say regarding this matter." The Duke sighed after a few moments and decided to order the situation. "Please, help me to retreat the non-essential personnel and maintain a security perimeter."

"But Duke of the Province..."

Chris looked at Patriarch Baier and said. "If you want to challenge Lothur and that woman, go ahead. But I won't get involved in it."

"Tsk!"

'Damned coward!'

'If we all united, Lothur wouldn't be a threat!' Alric's father thought to himself as he clenched his fists in pure hatred.

Anyway, with Chris' comment, Elisabeth finally sighed in relief, feeling that Lothur would not let these people kill Rebecca.

'Now we just wait...' She looked at the unconscious young woman beside her, unsure how this day would end.

...

Meanwhile, at the site where the Ritter Motor Company factory had been built...

Lothur was at this moment with some of his women on site, taking part in the final preparations for the inauguration of this facility.

Almost everything had been taken care of for the start of operations. Still, there were a few details necessary for the good efficiency of those who would work there that was still to be finished.

But all in all, the place was already able to start operating and was only not doing so because the workers who would operate there would only start coming the next day.

At last, amidst the ample space of their first factory, Lothur stood next to Viktoria and Elke as some men from a local building company introduced the site to them.

"Mister Ritter, it wasn't easy to follow all your instructions, but we managed to finish it in time." An old man with a hat on his head and papers in his hands said this while smiling.

He had been paid handsomely to leave all the work his family's building company was developing in order to be able to build this factory. However, what he gained most from doing business with Lothur was not coins but the experience of developing something new.

Lothur had been the first to ask for a series of compartments in this construction that facilitated several professionals working simultaneously. Since this man and some of his family members were not stupid, when they had finished building this, they had put the models from there in their memories to draw inspiration for new types of installations.

So this man was very pleased as he showed the finished places to Lothur and those two.

"Hmm, I'm sure they are," Lothur commented as he saw some men finishing painting the surroundings, but with everything essential ready to welcome people there.

Viktoria and Elke were impressed with how quickly this work had been finished, but they were also wondering how their man would use this place.

In their view, it was just a big empty facility inside, with many strange mechanisms on the floor and even in the ceiling.

But Lothur had plans for using every part of this factory, already intending to produce what was needed in conjunction with the men who would come tomorrow to install the useful tools for car production.

He had planned for weeks everything he was about to start, so he just needed to put all these things into practice!

But while they were touring the premises of the Ritter Motor Company's number one factory, Elke's mother arrived at that place shouting.

"Lothur!"

"Lothur, something terrible has just happened. Your friend Rebecca is in mortal danger, and Elisabeth is asking for your help at her residence!" She said this after seeing young Ritter standing next to her daughter and Viktoria.
