Mixed Blessing System

After a time of silence, the guard commander retorted to Lothur's words. "Don't play dumb. You are not on an estate..."

Lothur did not let that man finish speaking and said in a higher tone than his opponent. "Of course I am. I paid to rent the Hippodrome, so during the contract period, this place was at my disposal."

"The contract I signed with this place specified very well that only my guests could enter the area and how the employees should behave." He said, still smiling provocatively. "So when I saw that spy, I just did the same thing that any frightened person would do in their house..."

"I protected myself!"

"Bullshit!" That man said in anger. "If you were scared, how could you have managed to act so cruelly with the enemy? Have you no shame in your face, Lothur? You were strong enough to destroy his cultivation! Then you could have reacted differently!"

"From the emperor's point of view, it makes no difference." Lothur insisted. "Even though one can protect oneself, one who feels threatened on 'their' property has the right to kill the invader. So I guess just destroying someone's cultivation, under those circumstances, is not a crime..."

"Unless, of course, the Duke intends to rebel and show the emperor that he no longer follows the rules of that dignified sovereign." He said, with a look that was irritating his enemies more and more.

'Damn bastard!'

'Is the scumbag going to use the emperor's name to get himself out of trouble?'

'Slippery bastard!'

"Lothur, be a man and admit your mistakes!" The guard commander said between his teeth, which were firmly pressed against each other at this instant.

"Hahaha, very funny." Young Ritter laughed. "Are you sure you don't want me to hand over my head on a silver platter to you either?"

But as the enemies showed their irritation in their ugly expressions and fighting intent, Lothur became severe and asked. "Now tell me, will you or will you not get out of my way? If you are going to rebel against the imperial laws, say so! I don't have time to waste on you!"

"You bastard!"

"Son of a..."

Several of those people muttered similar things, with some taking steps forward, feeling pure hatred of Lothur for 'counter-attacking' them so well.

They knew that everything Lothur had told them was true, that such a young man could have done anything by perceiving a spy in that place. After all, the emperor could not allow otherwise, or it would be the same as encouraging enemies to spy on him and his subordinates.

The matter of acting against spies was so severe that if someone could identify one of these spying even in public, such a person had the right to act.

When someone sent a spy to do a job, that person or organization was itself accepting all the risks and had no one to complain to.

Suppose Lothur took this matter to the imperial family. In that case, all these people and even the Duke could be punished to some degree.

Therefore, they could not help but feel angry and frustrated that Lothur had the calmness to use this now instead of getting nervous and making some mistakes.

Meanwhile, the guard's commander was highly embarrassed but knew he could not do anything against Lothur in this situation. With so many people in the surrounding area speaking on behalf of this young man, witnesses to send this problem to the imperial family, he could only accept his defeat.

With that, after a few seconds of looking with anger at Lothur, this man reluctantly opened the passage for carriages of the Hippodrome.

"We are returning to the barracks!" He shouted, turning to leave that place as quickly as possible.

At the same time as that, Lothur's associates in the surrounding area sighed in satisfaction at how he handled everything and that the problem was over quickly.

None of them had needed to intervene more significantly, nor had Lothur made mistakes that would bring problems for all of them later. So after a few moments, when they repeated goodbye, the people there returned to their carriages and soon went their separate ways.

The Morning Star Academy principal was one of those who happened to be quite pleased. 'It seems he is talented at creating and negotiating things and knows when to avoid a fight...' He thought this in his carriage, standing next to his secretary.

"Put someone to keep an eye on Lothur when he is inside the academy." He ordered his secretary. "I want someone to help him in case any students stronger than he tries to cross the line."

"All right."

...

As everyone returned to their residences, Lothur and Viktoria dropped Annaliese off at the Frost estate. Then they went to her home on the north side of Peters City.

'Starting tomorrow, I have to put part of my day into dealing with the affairs of the Ritter Motor Company.' Lothur thought about this as he moved along with his wife.

He had already arranged with his group of partners and future partners how everything should start. First, they were going to get where the factory would be built. This design would be done by him and Frederik, who knew most about what would be needed to facilitate the production of the vehicles.

At the same time, some groups of Lothur's associates were going to start gathering formations masters, blacksmiths, and carpenters to join the production. Of course, they would not be many since the initial production would have to be moderate. But still, the group had agreed to get at least twenty 1-star professionals and five 2-star professionals from each profession.

With this, they would have to order all the materials needed to produce the vehicles, which naturally needed better resources than those used in the previous kart.

But Lothur's group would also have to create management for the Ritter Motor Campany, develop the transport company, and create the driver training school.

All this needed a lot of coins, so each of the partners in this company would already have to make an initial investment in the next few days. But Lothur and his partners would still calculate this after seeing these initial points.

Since all of this could be done in a matter of days, Lothur was already anticipating that in a short time, he would start teaching the formations masters of his company.

He would make all these professionals sign Blood Contracts to ensure these people's integrity, and no one would take his ideas outside the Ritter Motor Company.

Since he was the only one who could teach these things at the beginning of everything, he was already preparing to put some of his time into this company.

'But that will be good.' He smiled. 'With the number of people this company will have, we can have our first vehicles in less time than it took Frederik to create the parts for that kart...' He felt excited just before he arrived at his home with Viktoria.
