Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 247 Different Opinions

After Lothur talked with Amelie and Lina about how he would like to do business, they chatted for a while longer about tailoring and formation masters applications.

But that did not last long, and soon the dinner was over, with Lothur and Annaliese saying goodbye to those women and quietly making their way out of the Christen family estate.

"What are you going to do now, Lothur?" Annaliese asked as she felt like being closer to him, intimately speaking, of course.

"I will practice a little with Elke, and then I will go to the hotel room in which Viktoria and I are staying. Tomorrow we have to go to the occasion at your family, so I plan to rest a little later in the evening." He said as he walked beside his sister-in-law.

She then went straightforward in her wishes. "And when will I have my time with you? Why don't you break into my residence later as well?"

Lothur laughed upon hearing this. "Let's see the Province Conference schedule, and then we'll find some time for us. All right?"

At the thought that such a thing would already start the next day, Annaliese did not think it was so bad to have to wait and nodded her head, indicating yes.

"But let's do it in my place, right? It will be better for everyone that way..."

"OK." She voiced before saying goodbye to him and returning home in a hurry to train and go to bed.

As for Lothur, he made his way to the Becker family estate.

...

Meanwhile, at the estate of House Christen...

After Lothur left, a man who appeared to be around 30 years old, tall and strong, with black hair and a mustache, entered the living room where Lina and Amelie were at this instant.

"So? Did you talk to that young man?" He asked, still standing next to where those two were sitting.

Amelie looked at this man, the heir to the Christen family, and said. "Yes, but I have good news and bad news..."

"Oh?" He looked in surprise at his cousin. "Start with the bad news."

"Hmm, well, the bad news is that he won't be joining us or committing himself more deeply to our family." She casually said, showing no disappointment on her face.

That fellow who would soon take over the leadership of this family noticed this and did not comment about this refusal. "And what's the good one?"

"That young man seems quite different from what the rumors give him credit for. He has many ideas, is a genius of formations, and a creative tailor." She smiled as she remembered Lothur's manners as he spent part of that evening with her and Lina.

Amelie knew she could not just trust the words of people she met. So, she always paid attention to manners, to how these people behaved.

And when she or Lina had tested him in terms of formations or tailoring, Lothur had skillfully demonstrated his skills, although he still had a lot to learn and lacked common sense.

But that had not been a bad thing. On the contrary, both had heard that he had not learned these two professions until recently, which gave credibility to his situation and unusual talent. At the same time, it was always better to have someone talented with plenty of room for improvement than to be with someone already stagnant!

Hence, she was delighted by what she had seen in Lothur at this dinner and could not help but talk about him with a smile on her face. "He seems to be a very skilled negotiator and is preparing to do things that will change our society."

"What? Is he that good?" The young master Christen asked in surprise, not expecting this blonde woman to speak so highly of the good-for-nothing of the Frost family.

Lina nodded in agreement. "Some of his ideas can change society, as long as they work out. But the way he handles his business is somewhat unusual. So even if he fails, I believe that the very fact that he is trying to do business in our province will change the local power relations."

"That's quite different from the rumors..." He commented in a reflective tone, looking at the chandelier in that area, thinking about it.

He had heard about Lothur from Amelie and had gained interest in this son-in-law of the Frost family. Since that silver-haired young man seemed to be only a fake spouse, this man did not think it would be impossible to bring Viktoria's husband over to their side.

That was why he had agreed with Amelie to probe Lothur, even if they wanted to keep their distance from House Frost.

But the truth was, even considering Lothur's talent for formations, this man had thought that such a young man was a good-for-nothing in everything else and would perhaps be easy to manipulate.

However, the reality was somewhat different from what he had imagined!

"So? How do you assess this situation? From your expressions, it looks like we still have a way to gain something from it." He asked.

This fellow was the young master of this organization, but he was not a spoiled individual who abused the position created by his parents. On the opposite of that, he had learned with his mother to enjoy doing business, so he did it unhurriedly, considering the different points of view of a problem.

Some might have been irritated soon after discovering a refusal from their invited party, but he had noticed those two seemed in a good mood. So, he would listen to them first before concluding what to do!

Amelie then said. "He has shown interest in doing business with our family. In particular, he said he would have something to present to us later this month. Then, we will wait for his contact to assess how far we will go."

"I see... Then I'll leave it up to you. But as soon as he is ready to negotiate, let me know." He walked toward the exit of that residence. "I am curious to meet the person you have praised so highly."

...

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Mouse Company in Peters City...

At this instant, Kai and his subordinates were kneeling in front of a red-haired young man sitting in the armchair usually used by this leader of the Mouse Company.

This young man had an ugly look on his face, indicating his terrible mood given the circumstances in which his plans had been affected over the past months.

And with that, even though he had a high-level appearance that would easily put him in the 2nd rank of this city, now, with his contorted face, he could even scare children.

"I heard that Elise died, and several of your subordinates failed in the simple task of causing trouble for that bastard..." He said as he had his eyes closed, recalling the losses of his group. "Even a family allied to mine had trouble with you for something possibly caused by that little worm..."

He then opened his eyes, which were as red as blood, and said. "Kai, what the fuck is going on? Didn't I tell you to eliminate that demon's son? Why is he still alive?"

Gulp!

Kai lowered his head and said as he felt sweat drip from his neck and back. "Young master Stauss, we did everything we could. But the bastard is fortunate!"

"Hmm?"

Kai heard displeasure come from Fritz Stauss, the son of his leader, Carl Stauss, so he changed his train of thought. "Young master, give us one more chance. We will deal with this person later this week!"
