Mixed Blessing System

After realizing that the enemies had fled the outskirts of his estate and no one else was watching the area, Lothur quickly gathered the bodies there. He took them to one of the training areas inside his residence, planning to do what should be done inside.

Then, although there were no longer any people in the vicinity, he did not start absorbing the vitalities of those people right away. First, he went back to manipulating the formations he had bought, thinking of the man his grandfather had sent earlier.

Lothur did not want to be seen absorbing the vitalities of those individuals still alive. Still, he also did not want to be surprised by that Transcendent. Then, he 'recharged' the Bronze-grade formations that had stopped working and finished installing the ones he had bought today.

That was a quick job, so in about 10 minutes after the last of his watchers had escaped, he finished setting up the defenses of his property.

'Good that no one saw me doing this...' Lothur sighed as he returned to the interior of his house. 'Now the next enemies who come here won't know what kind of defensive measures await them.'

Part of the reason for Lothur to scare off the enemies was to get them away from his property so they would not know how the formations of his house were laid out. That was also part of his plans. Upon finishing that, he went to absorb those people's vitality points.

They had trespassed on his property, so this silver-haired young man had every right to end their lives. As for problems that might come after him, well, they would be no different than the ones he already had, so he was not worried.

He just was not happy that he was forced to show some of his current strength to his enemies, something he would rather keep for himself and his allies.

But that was life. He wanted things to be smooth and favorable, and he strived for that, but still, he had setbacks like this.

Then he could only deal with the consequences of this by becoming stronger and increasing his connections!

...

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 11]

[STR: 50.9] [CON: 203.9] [DEX: 45.2] [AGI: 61.1]

[INT: 93.4] [PER: 106.6] [WIL: 86]

[EVF: 499 -> 1,143]

After a while, Lothur saw his new status, satisfied by the amount of EVF points he had absorbed after that invasion.

At the same time, he had collected the spatial rings from all those enemies, collecting a small fortune that would previously have made him very happy. But in this situation, after the auction of the Ritter Motor Company, Lothur could only be somewhat content with the valuables he had gained.

'3 million bronze coins and 400 thousand silver coins... Not bad...' He smiled, feeling that the items in those rings were more valuable than the coins. 'There are some useful things here for Elke, Anna, and Viktoria.'

'Hmm, actually, I might be able to help Anne, Becca, and Sofie too.' He looked at the items and resources he had collected this night.

Some of these women were just his colleagues, but Lothur was not against helping those close to him. He, of course, preferred to give priority to his women, but he was not the type who would forget his friends and companions.

Hence, by getting so many resources valuable to them and having so many coins at his disposal, the young Ritter remembered those women.

"Sigh..."

"Time to clean up the mess." He looked at the dried corpses inside that training area and remembered the blood around his property.

With that, Lothur soon began cleaning up his house, making a fire in his backyard, a place Viktoria would soon run over when she got home and noticed the black smoke in her yard.

"Lothur?" She asked before coming across the pile of bodies already on fire in that part of their house.

Lothur turned around and saw his wife, expressing that he had no choice but to do that.

"Some of our watchers broke into the house and died..." He briefly summarized what happened.

After finding this out, Viktoria was surprised that so many people suddenly decided to attack this place, but also somehow aware that all this was not so far from reality.

'It looks like yesterday's business took immediate effect... Those enemies are very worried!' She pondered before starting to help her husband sort out the 'dirt' on that fire.

...

While Lothur and Viktoria were trying to carry on their routine after that previous situation, this young man's enemies were already aware of everything.

Not only those who had not lost men this day. But also, those who had had their subordinates killed by Lothur and his formations were already aware of what had happened.

Some learned about it through their subordinates and allies, basically through the people who had watched and fled from that place after the conflict was over. But others, who had not been contacted to find out how Lothur had acted, found out about it through the deaths of their men.

Relevant cultivators in these local organizations had items that stored their vital status. So when one of them died, it did not take long for the information to reach their organization's headquarters.

In this way, several families in the province were on alert, feeling the loss of their experts!

...

"Hell!"

"How can that be? How can damned Lothur be so lucky?" Patriarch Baier was almost tearing his hair out, feeling the pressure of being an opponent of Lothur.

He had just discovered that not only had the level 12 and 13 cultivators he had sent to observe Lothur gotten nothing concerning the kart. They had also been mysteriously killed!

Considering that these people were already relevant individuals in this family, this man was more stressed than ever.

"That person is stepping out of bounds, patriarch." A level 14 individual said this, very concerned about the situation. "In this current situation, we only have two alternatives. Attack with everything we have or forget what happened and try to make peace."

"But considering how much we've acted against him, I think the second possibility is out of the question..."

The patriarch heard this from the supreme elder of this family and clenched his fists tightly. "We must strike while we still have a chance to defeat him before the worst happens!"

...

At the same time, the Vogel family, who had not acted against Lothur today but had received the news from one of their watchers, was already thinking of acting.

This family had not ordered their men on the outskirts of Lothur's estate to act against him because of a communication delay. Had it not been for this, this family was supposed to have participated in tonight's attack!

Considering that this noble house wanted Lothur's downfall as well as prevent the rise of an alliance between this young man and the powers involved in the previous day's negotiation, they could not hesitate. Therefore, it was time for this family to plan to act vigorously against him!

"Call a meeting with our allies!" The patriarch of this family said firmly right after discovering what had occurred. "We have no time to lose. Lothur is out of control, so we must act promptly!"
