Mixed Blessing System

Upon hearing Gomeric's questions, Lothur promptly replied. "Viktoria sees no problem in my relationship with Elke. She has known about everything for some time and has never tried to act against it. As for how it will be, I've already planned everything..."

Gomeric made an ugly expression, noticing that Lothur had planned this whole action and acted weeks behind his back while thinking about how to lead poor Elke on the wrong path.

'Bastard, smartass!'

"... I already have a house big enough for us to live together, and most importantly, I no longer live inside the Frost family's property. So you won't have to worry about Elke joining that family."

"I am also creating my own family, which will be behind the Ritter Motor Company. That way, there is no worry for you to worry about where Elke will go."

"Finally, I am strong enough to protect her." He gestured as he finished speaking, noticing that Gomeric was angry. Still, such a man could not say anything to him.

Everything Lothur had said was true. That man had even checked the information regarding the departure of this young man from the Frost family.

At the same time, the Ritter Motor Company was something he could not ignore. Elke joining Lothur's family meant she would have rights to that company. In other words, the Becker family could somehow benefit from what Lothur was asking for.

Since Elke herself wanted this and seemed happy about it, it would be like putting the good and the bad together!

Hence, even though he did not like this situation, feeling tricked by Lothur, Gomeric could not refuse this young man's request.

This man clenched his fists in frustration, sensing the terrible feeling a father would feel when they knew their daughter was leaving home.

"Sigh..."

"So you thought of everything..." He muttered as he sat back in his seat. "I can give my approval for your union. But I need assurances that my daughter will not be harmed by being a second wife."

Elke and Hilda looked at Gomeric while Lothur understood what this man wanted.

Gomeric said. "We need to know how far you are willing to go to secure Elke's position in your family and the future of the children you may have. For example, how many percent of your company would you give her?"

Lothur laughed bitterly and said. "I think..."

"What are you talking about, father? How can you be so shameless to say something like that?!" Elke asked offendedly, seeing her father demanding a dowry for her.

"Be quiet, Elke. I am doing what is best for you." Gomeric did not even look at his daughter as he kept his eyes on Lothur.

On the other hand, Hilda looked at her husband, knowing that this was the right thing to do, but it was also somewhat awkward for her.

Lothur took one of Elke's hands and said. "All right, you would already have rights in my family anyway. So your father's request is not strange."

"But..."

Lothur smiled at her and then answered his father-in-law's question. "I will give Elke 3% once I sell more fractions of the company. Since she won't have that fraction until then, she won't need to put resources out of her pocket into the company until then."

"I will do the same with Viktoria and any other women I marry until I sell more shares of that organization."

After these words from Lothur, Gomeric was satisfied, thinking that however little 3% was, Elke was only one person. Meanwhile, the Becker family had only 7% but had many members and subordinates.

In other words, with this promise, Elke and her children would have a guaranteed future and perhaps even be able to help House Becker through this!

In this way, this man no longer pressured Lothur, although he was still somewhat grumpy given the surprise he had just received.

As for Hilda, she was happy that everything worked out in the end and soon approached Lothur and Elke to hug them and wish them good luck in their relationship.

"So, when will you two get married?" She asked, as her husband stood silently looking at them.

Lothur looked at Elke and said. "I guess after we graduate from the Morning Star Academy, right? By then, we will have solved some problems in our way, and things will be calmer."

"Hmm, I guess that's not a bad idea." She agreed, considering how fast their speed of advancement was within that institution.

But Hilda and Gomeric thought that the deadline was too long!

"What? Why wait so long?" She asked the two.

"It won't be that long..." Lothur said. "I believe it will happen in a year at most."

The two realized their mistake, as Lothur was not normal at all and would definitely graduate in a short time within that academy.

'That's right. He's a prodigy...'

With that said, things were settled for them to get married after leaving the Morning Star Academy, within a year at most.

Only after that period could Lothur take Elke to live with him and Viktoria and make her part of his family.

In the end, Hilda was already looking forward to her daughter getting married. She suggested many details for the wedding, things Lothur did not pay attention to. Only Elke had participated in that woman's decisions, while those two men practically just listened to the two talks.

After a while, they had dinner while talking about the future, with Gomeric still uncomfortable but no longer protesting.

At the end of the evening, Lothur left the Becker estate, heading back to his home in a hurry, knowing the dangers he had in walking locally in the middle of the night.

He was never alone recently, as there was always one watcher or another accompanying him. But with the local dangers and the strength of his enemies, this young man would spend no more time than necessary exposing himself.

So he ignored the individuals accompanying him on his way back to his property and quickly went to meet his wife, who was already waiting for him at this time.

'Time to relax a bit after this stressful night...'

As he was moving, the Transcendent sent by his grandfather was in the vicinity, following him from afar. But this individual did not seem so interested in acting at the moment, being preoccupied with the different situation he had just encountered.

'Why are so many strong cultivators by the province's standards following him?' This person wondered as he saw level 14 people following Lothur.

Level 14 was already close to the level of local patriarchs. So this man who had spent the last few days away from Peters City could not help but find Lothur's current situation strange.

He had left because of the Frost family, which had started looking for him after the failed attempt at action against Lothur inside that family's estate.

Therefore, upon returning to this place, seeing the different situation, and remembering what he had experienced the first time he visited Lothur, this man could not help but hesitate.

'I wonder if this is related to the same person who scared us that day...' He thought of the individual who had made him and Daemon's envoy run away from Lothur's estate earlier...
