Mixed Blessing System

The other morning.

Simon woke up that morning and went directly to find his accomplices within that family, appalled by the news from the night before.

Kai was his long-time ally, with whom he had planned many of the actions he had been taking recently to usurp power in the Frost family. So the news that the Mouse Company had been wiped out and Kai was presumed dead affected this man's mood.

Considering the other bad news concerning the Province Conference, he was apprehensive and could not help but talk to his accomplices about alternatives.

The group they worked for had many plans for this family, so they would not give up. At the same time, another action was already scheduled to happen soon, so for now, they would not regret it but rather readjust their strategies.

"What do we do now?" He asked as he met with the man and woman who were posing as servants inside the Frost family estate.

The woman sighed, also upset at the fall of her allies, and said. "Now we can only adjust our plans for the contest for the Secret Realm... At that time, the attention will once again be focused on a contest, and we will have our chance."

"Hmm, but we can't make a mistake this time!" The man said, looking thoughtfully at his companions.

...

Meanwhile, Viktoria and Lothur woke up after a long night's sleep and had fun before heading out for breakfast with Annaliese.

That was the penultimate day of the Province Conference. Each contest was already taking place with a longer interval between them due to the smaller number of competitors remaining. So now each of them could watch most of the others' disputes while they would have more time for themselves between their responsibilities.

In practice, this meant for Lothur that he could train more to better prepare himself for the last day of matches, which frankly would be challenging.

On the last day, practically only youths who were at the 2nd stage were left, guaranteeing constant high-level battles.

But he was not discouraged. On the contrary, he was pretty satisfied and looking forward to the finals coming and this competition approaching its end.

Not only could the last day of the trials bring surprises for everyone, but it was also the time for the awards, something he sincerely looked forward to.

At the same time, after this competition, he would have a local reputation, which could help him significantly when he started doing business regarding his vehicle project.

So he could already imagine the 'river' of coins approaching him because of his excellence in this tournament!

With these things in mind, he, Viktoria, and Annaliese headed back to the Coliseum this Saturday morning.

But as the Frost family's carriages arrived at that venue, just as they were about to enter the Coliseum, a group of people stopped before them, impeding their passage.

This group stopped in front of Lothur's carriage just after the Frost patriarch's group entered that area, and someone closed the gates to them.

Immediately upon stopping there, the Frost family members separated from the rest saw several 2nd stage cultivators trying to act openly against Lothur's vehicle.

At that moment, about ten cultivators, all stronger than Viktoria, rushed against that carriage with their faces hidden by masks. Meanwhile, they unleashed their cultivation pressures on that vehicle, preventing anyone in the surrounding area from moving to escape or trying to stop them.

"Quick! We have to stop him from getting into the Coliseum!" Someone said amidst these people, aiming at Lothur, the great challenge for the enemy families of House Frost to have better results in this competition.

Viktoria, Annaliese, and Lothur realized what was happening. Still, these women were frozen, unable to move due to the opponents' cultivation pressure.

The enemies acted fast, and when their carriage had just stopped and they were about to observe the problem, their bodies stopped obeying them.

But Lothur saw everything with his visual ability, while he could move as he wanted. 'A surprise attack? In this place?'

He looked around for Mabel and Aiken and realized that those people were dozens of meters away, surrounded by several individuals of similar levels to them.

There was even a Transcendent among those people!

'Isn't that the Duke?' He saw the individual who was there to stop Mabel from acting.

With that, he noticed that these people wanted to kidnap him since the local guard would not act since the movement of the streets was not being hindered. But, on the other hand, the tournament rules were valid only inside the Coliseum, so being outside this building, Lothur did not have the protections of the management of this competition!

But he had already realized that he did not have much time to react and soon prepared to surprise these people.

He looked at the two women in front of him and the ceiling above them, the only point from which none of the enemies approached them.

So, the second before the opponents attacked, Lothur acted!

Boom!

When one of the carriage doors was blown off by a blow from those individuals, everyone in the surrounding area, among those shocked or even smiling, saw a fantastic reaction.

Lothur went through the roof of his carriage with two women on his shoulders, both unable to move, like everyone else in the surroundings. But he had no such difficulty, showing these people that their combined cultivation pressures were nothing to him!

"What?"

"How can that be?" One of the masked men said in complete shock. "Not even a 6th Revolution cultivator can do that! Then how?"

The masked and garbed individuals looked in Lothur's direction, not understanding what was happening, but sure they could not let this young man get away with it.

They all knew that Lothur was fast and would be dangerous if such a person entered the Coliseum!

With that, they all advanced against that young man as soon as he landed on the ground and started running against the sidebars of the Coliseum in that area.

"Wretch! Don't think you will escape!" One of the strongest shouted as he launched a spiritual attack aimed at Lothur's back.

Lothur saw that and pressed his teeth, feeling that he could not escape the pointed ice stone coming at him.

'Damn it!'

'I won't be able to get into this place in time!' He saw the three meters or so in front of him and continued on his way, intending to jump such bars.

Everyone in the surrounding area looked at him in tension, sensing how incredible this escape attempt had been, but considering his low chances of success.

Even some of Lothur's rivals in that area could not help but regret it, as his attitude had been genuinely unique and decisive.

Even more so, considering that he had not left those two women behind!

Swooish!

Pow!

Finally, when there was no more time for him to retreat, the impact happened!
