Mixed Blessing System



When everyone heard Mabel's harsh words, silence spread to the surrounding area, with some men there swallowing their saliva in nervousness.

The Third Prince was indeed committing an infraction by planning the downfall of a family without the emperor's permission. But few people would have the courage to say he should be punished for his actions.

Also, the very fact that these people were present while Mabel was speaking ill of the Third Prince could be considered negatively. So even though they didn't say anything, most people there were bothered because of her bold statements.

So one of those Transcendents sent by the imperial family naturally reacted negatively. "Humph! Mabel Rios, you are arrogant!

How dare you talk about His Highness like that? Do you really think that just because your Rios family is powerful, we will accept any kind of unfair accusations?"

The other added. "Tsk! She is trying to escape responsibility for the massacres of this day! His Highness has no bearing on the demise of any family today!

Your House Frost or your allies did this, Mabel!"

The principal of the Morning Star Academy then said. "It's useless to keep accusing one side or the other... Without proof, it won't lead anywhere."

"Yes." The Duke of Linn Province said, trying to lighten tempers. "We should calm down and investigate the situation before we make accusations...

The only fact we are sure of is that several local and out-of-province families tried to act for the end of House Frost and were stopped. As for the massacres at these headquarters, we really can't blame the Frost family for that."

"Tsk!" One of those men didn't like to see this former ally of the Third Prince saying this, feeling that this was a traitor.

Aiken then said. "We acted in defense of our family. That's rather obvious. So if you have no more business to discuss here, I ask you to leave my property."

Those imperial family men clenched their fists, but this state took private property very seriously.

Only with an order from the emperor or indicative of a crime against the empire's laws could one organization invade the headquarters of another without suffering implications for doing so.

In this case, they could only leave there since they could not prove that the Frost family and their allies had destroyed those families.

But amid their departure, one of them said, thinking of Rebecca. "We will return."

After the departure of those subordinates of the imperial family, the Dukes of other provinces who were in that city by the cars left as well, not having much to talk to those people.

Lothur's allies continued talking with the Frost family and the Duke of the Province for some more time, settling necessary matters after a conflict like today's.

After a while, Chris left just before Elisabeth arrived in her car, quickly running to Mabel and Aiken.

Seeing these two and her other allies through the Ritter Motor Company, she got right to the point. "The imperial guards have arrested Rebecca! We must act to rescue her!"

"What?" Gomeric asked in surprise, not expecting this development.

"What are you talking about?" Luis questioned that woman, noting that they would still have problems concerning this for some time to come.

Elisabeth said. "Rebecca's poison is very striking and unique. That is why the imperial guards realized she participated in the attack against the Vogel family headquarters... Now she is under arrest and will possibly be sent to an empire prison!"

Everyone there understood the situation, sensing that this would be a problem. If Rebecca opened her mouth to get rid of the crimes she had committed, the Third Prince faction could find a way to punish almost all of them.

Even taking over their Ritter Motor Company business would not be totally impossible!

Obviously, this would not be simple since Lothur had made this company to be dependent on him in terms of who could learn and talk about his methods. But in his absence, or instead, in his death, the Blood Contracts would lose validity, and things could change!

As such, Rebecca's situation could greatly influence those people!

Those people looked at each other, feeling the problem upon them, trying to find a solution.

But they could not simply eliminate Rebecca, or they could risk their relations with Lothur.

They already knew that Lothur could be arrested when he left the Secret Realm, but no one there thought this was his end. They had been surprised by him in the past and would not give up their hopes in him so quickly.

They would have to pursue a strategy that didn't involve eliminating Rebecca!

"Well, I'll talk to my friends at the local imperial guard post to see what we can do," Luis said before leaving.

"We can send people to pressure the imperial guards and investigators." The leaders of the Teusen and Christen families commented the same thing.

Gomeric then said. "Someone in the capital will judge that matter. Then I will send an elder there to defend Rebecca's cause before the emperor."

That said, Elisabeth watched all those leave, standing next to only the Frost family members.

Aiken looked at her and sighed. "I'm sorry for Rebecca's situation... We caused her trouble."

"No, that is my fault. I was careless in my revenge." That poison master said in a melancholy tone.

"Anyway, thank you for your help. After today, the family will be able to act with fewer restrictions. So if you need anything, just ask. We will help you in any way we can." Patriarch Frost said before Mabel showed her 'claws.'

This woman said. "Now that the Baier and Vogel families are finished, we must act quickly and take their businesses and lands.

They attacked us, so we have the right to claim the right to absorb the enemy's possessions."

That was a custom of Concordia. When an organization was attacked and won the conflict, it had the right to claim the enemy's possessions.

Even in complicated situations like this family's, the victor would always take something of great value back home, even when the imperial family tried not to give them everything they were entitled to.

Mabel knew that many forces opposed her family in the empire, so she wanted to be quick about it!

She ignored Elisabeth and looked at the elders of her family. "Get a battalion ready. We will take the possessions of these two families until the imperial family decides what we can keep and what we have to give up."

She departed from there with the elders, leaving Aiken and Elisabeth, who soon also parted, going their separate ways to solve their own problems.

...

Meanwhile, in a forest near Peters City, a dozen injured and tired people were standing at one point in that place, resting and recovering.

Among them, only one person was at level 16, and all the others were level 15 cultivators.

These were the only survivors of the attack on the Frost family headquarters this morning!

'Damn Frosts!' The Transcendent sent by the Third Prince thought to himself, filled with hatred for this morning's failure. 'Just wait! This defeat will not be over! We will return today's day with interest and correction!'
