Mixed Blessing System

At that moment, when Lothur's neighbor fled to his own room, the group shouting in front of that estate saw the visitors arriving there.

Patriarch Teusen promptly frowned as he saw Patriarch Koch arriving beside his daughter and Anneke. But not only them but also Annaliese and Elke, who were with some elders from their families, with that young red-headed next to Hilda.

Hilda had not tried Lothur's kart the day before. Thus, she had decided to accompany her daughter on this visit to that young man's estate now in the morning.

As for the elders of the Becker and Frost families, they were there in curiosity since they had heard from their respective patriarchs about the deal with Lothur.

Then nearly a dozen 2nd stage cultivators appeared at the door of Lothur's estate, shocking the first visitors arriving there.

Patriarch Teusen remembered his wife saying more powers had attended the auction the previous afternoon. So he soon understood that these people were there for the same reason he was.

"Patriarch Koch, matriarch Becker, are you here to seek justice for what Lothur Ritter did yesterday?" He asked, feeling that with the help of these people, he could easily get revenge on the enemy, even if the people watching the area were bodyguards of that young man.

However, he got a different answer than he expected. "No. I am here to test Lothur's vehicle." Hilda commented.

The Koch patriarch said something similar. "Me too. My daughter did business with Lothur the day before and bought 7% of that company for our family. So I'm here to learn about the amazing product this young man has created."

Hearing this, each person in the Teusen family group looked strangely at the situation, squinting as their eyes narrowed.

"Are you here to meet him?" That level 15 individual asked, still red from the humiliation of his wife being fooled by Lothur. "What are you people talking about? Aren't you here to seek justice? How can your families be interested in a lie?"

"Lie?" Hilda smiled. "Patriarch Teusen, don't tell me that your wife didn't explain the situation to you?"

Patriarch Koch was silent as he saw that man's reaction. He felt that if not for his usual calmness and the fact that he had heard everything from his daughter and Anneke, he would do the same as this man.

"She told me that she bought 3% of the Ritter Motor Company, a fraudulent company that doesn't even exist yet and intends to produce independent animal-powered carriages... Do you guys believe that?" He questioned.

The people who had just arrived put their hands on their faces, feeling shame for this man.

But then Elke defended her man's integrity. "Don't talk nonsense, patriarch Teusen. Lothur is very serious in everything he does, and his vehicle works."

"Your wife, Lady Monika Teusen, has tested the vehicle for herself."

"But not only her, patriarch Frost, my father, coroner Klossner, all of them and more local experts have tested Lothur's test vehicle." She said, with pride but also with a slightly teasing tone. "So tell me, do you think Lothur fooled all these experts? Do you really think that if he were a fraud, he would have made so many coins the day before?"

Hearing Elke's logical words, that patriarch felt a little irritated that a young woman like her would talk to him like that. But he could not deny that there was a sense in her words.

Come to think of it, he had not allowed his wife to explain the situation adequately, and she had even asked him to wait.

Unfortunately, at that moment, he was so angry that he had just gone on his way, aiming to recover his coins and bring justice to his family.

"Patriarch?" As Valentin pondered the situation, Johann arrived at that place, interested in testing the kart.

"Young Johann?" The other individuals in that family identified him. "What are you doing here?" Someone asked.

"I came to see if Lothur would let me test his kart. Unfortunately, only the matriarch got the chance yesterday, so since we're partners now, I'm here to try that..."

"Anyway, did you come to do the same?" This young formations master started to get disappointed, seeing the number of people there who would probably stand in his way once again.

'Damn!'

'With this many people here, how will I test the kart?' He clenched his fists, hearing a lame excuse.

"Of course!" Valentin smiled, trying to disguise the redness on his face. "After hearing from my wife, I came running to Peters City to meet young Lothur and that kart, hehe."

The people there looked at this province expert with embarrassed looks, but this man did not care. He had already embarrassed himself in front of many people, so he could only keep some of his respect for his family's young generation!

Thus, the tension around the entrance to Lothur's estate slowly eased, with more than two dozen people waiting for him there.

After almost 30 minutes of waiting, Lothur finally opened the door to his house and saw all those people waiting for him on the street.

The various groups, murmuring among themselves, stopped what they were doing and looked at Lothur.

"What is it? Why are there so many people here this morning?" He asked. "Don't you people have anything better to do in your lives?"

But the people there were not annoyed by this, and the patriarchs soon approached Lothur.

"Lothur, I could not be at your event the day before. But after hearing from my daughter about you and your ideas, I couldn't help but come early to visit you." The Koch patriarch said this just after Anneke introduced this man to her 'friend.'

Lothur greeted such a person, interested in having a good relationship with this family due to their specialty.

Then he remembered something. "By the way, who was yelling earlier?"

"Cough! Cough!"

"He's already gone..." Valentin Teusen said while making a slightly different voice than before. "Anyway, I am here to meet you too, young man. My wife and young Johann have said amazing things about you."

'Did I?" Johann wondered quietly.

"Really?" Lothur smiled, understanding that this man must be the same as earlier. But since the Teusen family was focused on the art of inscribing formations, he ignored the earlier cries. "Hehe, I'm happy with that, then."

"Come on, come on in, everyone." He invited them in after noticing Elke and Annaliese standing around and understanding what everyone wanted by visiting him this morning.

As those people entered Lothur and Viktoria's estate, the spies in the surroundings of that place were all at a loss to understand the situation.

"Why did so many relevant people come to this young man's house early now?" One of them muttered, not understanding how so many things had changed overnight.

Yesterday morning Lothur was just a young prodigy with a future ahead of him. But now he was someone who had somehow done business with prominent people and was now even being visited by people of the caliber of the Koch patriarch!

They could not help but be amazed!
