"We are not far away. Depending on how our men develop their conversations with leaders of other provinces in the coming days, I may even hold a new auction before my departure." Lothur said.
"Oh?"
"If we get many cities willing to host our operations, then we will have enough attention from powers to notice our potential.
ƥandasnovel·ƈom At that time, I'll be able to get rid of a little more of my share in the Ritter Motor Company."
Lothur did not intend to own the majority of his company's shares forever. He just wanted to maintain a position that would give him veto power and choices when necessary.
He did not need to own more than 50% of this company for that!
With the Frost family becoming his and the Koch family already being his subordinate, he had 64% of this company in practice, even disregarding Larissa's 3%.
As such, even if he reduced his position by selling 13% of his company in a new auction, he would still have the majority of the votes and decision-making power over the company.
Considering how much more valuable the Ritter Motor Company was today compared to when Lothur got all these partners, he could get a lot of coins for developing his company inside and outside the empire.
This could help him greatly in expanding his espionage network!
Hearing Lothur's words, Larissa was immediately pleased because, at this time, her position in the Ritter Motor Company would be confirmed, and more, she would have a chance to bring the Carstensen family into this company.
If she did this, she could improve her position within that family before she even grew with the organization she had created in Peters City.
"How will that happen?" She asked.
Lothur immediately understood what was on Larissa's mind and smiled. "Don't worry. I won't get involved. I will let Viktoria handle the auction. She is my wife, so she controls the Ritter Motor Company in my absence.
No one will see a problem with that."
That was a good answer, and those who heard it were reassured.
"Very well. I will wait for the next auction." Larissa said in a satisfied tone. "When you are ready, I will invite my Carstensen family. Is there a problem for you?"
"Not at all." Lothur smiled.
For him, the stronger and richer the families that would participate in the next auction, the better it would be, as the bids would be higher.
With that said, this great meeting would soon be over, and the local leaders would return to their homes to put Lothur's words into action.
That same evening, several envoys from local families would set out for the main cities of the empire!
In particular, they would begin their attempts to negotiate in the provinces that their leaders had already been to Peters City in search of cars before the start of the Secret Realm.
As car fans, they would probably welcome the operations of this group more easily!
...
The next day...
Most of the Koch and Frost family were no longer operating around Peters City.
Most of their men were already living in the large headquarters of the Ritter family, where the espionage headquarters of that group was, but also the many Transcendents of that family.
However, the weakest of these two families could still be seen around Peters City.
The Koch family would still maintain their old headquarters as a front, while the weaker of the Frost family were slowly returning their operations to their old headquarters.
With that location having been purified the day before, there was no longer any danger in their continuing there, so quickly, Viktoria's family group returned to their native home.
Meanwhile, Lothur and his women had returned to their home in this city, where they still had to remain to keep up appearances.
There Lothur had taken care of Annaliese and Elke the night before, hardly getting any sleep to be with his women...
Luckily he no longer needed to rest like ordinary people, and this had not been a problem for him.
Both had gained a lot from this, but only Annaliese had risen her levels, finally becoming Transcendent, as had her harem sisters.
After a long night, these women slept peacefully, something they had not done for weeks because of their many worries.
With Lothur there to care for them, they slept as they had rarely done.
When they awoke in the morning, he was already working in his training areas, having already produced more medicines for Mabel and administered them.
He had also already begun to repair some of the damaged items in the Frost family treasury.
So when Viktoria, the first to wake up, went to him, she found him working on some Gold-grade armor, shirtless, beating his own hands against that item.
"Good morning, Lothur." She said, still a little sleepy.
"Morning, dear. Did you sleep well?" He asked as he corrected the problems in that armor.
"Hmm, how is my mother? Have you taken care of her today?"
"Yeah, she's not bad. She should wake up in a day or two." He said.
Lothur could force Mabel's awakening as he had done with Annaliese, but he had no reason to bring that woman back so quickly!
Therefore, he was letting the medicines do the work of recovering her and making her awaken.
She was no longer in danger anyway, and waking up today or in two days would not affect her condition.
Viktoria heard that and sighed in relief. "I will finish getting the ingredients you asked for later. I hope that will help us."
"Hmm, go at your speed." He said before stopping and looking toward the exit of this house. "The man who came here yesterday before I arrived is coming here now."
"Uh? Doctor Helmut?" She asked, knowing Lothur had overheard her conversation with this man the day before.
"Yes, but be careful with him. He was lying to you yesterday. I feel he could have taken care of your mother and Annaliese." Lothur said as he looked thoughtfully at Viktoria.
"He seemed intent on taking Mabel's body to this master of his... I don't know. As much as I'm not against it, he tried to trick you." He said, for that could have affected his wife.
If it had only been for Mabel, he wouldn't have cared.
Hearing that, Viktoria became more serious. "Then I will make him speak what he seeks!"
But before she could leave toward the door, Lothur stopped her. "Don't do that. He's stronger than he looks. He is using something to hide his cultivation.
Although he looks like a Soul Core Transcendent, he is already at the Divine Soul."
"What?"
