Chapter 266 They Have No Idea With Whom They Are Dealing

After picking up the gray glove that Lothur showed them, Gomeric immediately noticed that such an item had become much better than the previous one he had seen.

'This glove is almost at Bronze-grade...' Gomeric looked at that item with his eyes twitching, feeling impressed with Lothur's tailoring skills.

As Lothur watched his father-in-law being shocked, Hilda took that glove from her husband's hands and put it on.

'Oh? It's improved significantly!' She jumped on the ceiling of that office and used the glove to stand still in the air, supported only by her hand wearing the glove.

"Impressive!" Gomeric commented as he saw his wife slowly falling, shocked that the glove supported her weight for almost 5 seconds.

At the same time, Hilda was the happiest there, more and more confident that letting Lothur and Elke continue their relationship would be the best thing for the Becker family.

'It seems that Lothur's talent loses nothing to the quality of his bloodline... Excellent! My grandchildren will be impressive!'

"Well done, Lothur! I had already been pleased with the previous glove, but this one will be an absolute success!" Hilda commented as she took such a thing from her right hand. "Besides not being expensive, it is extremely efficient for its purpose."

"We will certainly make a success of it!"

Lothur nodded upon hearing her and then asked Gomeric. "Have you communicated with the store in Lewerenz that I mentioned?"

Elke's father nodded positively. "Yes, one of my trusted subordinates went to that place and has already settled everything with the Siegel family. We just need to start our operations, and we will sign an agreement with them to sell the first batch of gloves at that place."

The Becker family needed to test this Lothur glove's business viability to know how much they should invest in this project. So, for the time being, they would produce a few hundred of these gloves and send them to Jacob's family store in Lewerenz.

If everything went well, they would expand this by making agreements with more stores around the province and increasing their production capacity.

Lothur was pleased to hear that and then asked. "Then I want to teach your tailors as soon as possible. I want those gloves to be selling on shelves by the end of the month."

"End of the month, eh? I don't think that will be a problem." Hilda commented. "We've already researched places to buy the materials for this glove, and our 2-star tailors are ready to start learning."

"Then let's sign this agreement once and for all..."

They then continued talking for some more time until they signed a Blood Contract sealing the agreement that would give Lothur rights to the profits from the trade of that product on the order of 40% for 200 years.

After this was settled, Lothur dined with Elke's parents and this woman, who had already been notified about his presence.

...

"Lothur, you must be careful in the next few days," Elke spoke while they were still standing around the dining table at her parents' home. "There are many powers that will try to act against the Frost family, consequently, against you."

"Hmm, I am already aware of that..." He commented as he remembered Anneke.

Elke then said. "If something unusual happens, we will try to do something to help, but our actions are limited."

Hilda nodded in agreement and said to comfort Lothur. "You can count on us. We will speak up on your behalf in case something happens."

"Hmm, I appreciate that. But I think I'll be fine, madam." Lothur confidently smiled. "Those families who act against me are the ones who will be in trouble."

"They have no idea with whom they are dealing..."

They heard his bold comment but did not disagree. Considering what they knew about Lothur, it was not inappropriate for him to say that the local families knew nothing about him.

It was true!

So they talked for a few more moments until Lothur left alongside Elke for her residence, where they would practice combat for a while and then have fun for another hour.

"I will be advancing today, so we have to wait for that to happen before we can get on with our stuff..." Elke commented to him as they headed to the training site at her house.

She wanted to avoid advancing right after having sex with him, so she could not help but clarify that point to Lothur.

He already knew that his partner was about to advance and saw no problem with that. "That's fine with me... No, it will be better this way."

In this way, they started their training!

...

After some time, Lothur left Elke's house, with this woman already at level 5 and him adding 0.1 points to each of his physical attributes.

With that, he soon returned to his hotel room, where Viktoria was already waiting for him at this instant.

"Still with the energy to take care of your wife?" She asked as she finished drying her hair, sitting on one side of their bed, watching this fellow who had just closed the door.

Lothur turned back and saw that brunette woman seriously looking at him.

"Did you bring anyone else here today? When I returned, I smelled something strange in the room..."

"Strange smell?" He frowned, afraid of his wife's suspicions.

But Viktoria did not press the matter when she saw the expression of incomprehension on his face. 'It must be nothing. It was too weak to be what I was thinking...' She thought.

Annaliese had done her best to try to disguise the odors of her and Lothur's fluids. But Viktoria's nose was even more accurate than Annaliese's, so she had picked up on some signs Lothur's sister-in-law missed!

Lothur then used his troubles to distract Viktoria's attention from the forbidden things he had done with Annaliese. "Dear, I have an important matter to discuss with you."

"What is it? Can't this wait until later?" She stood up and walked over to him, eager to relax.

He held her tiny waist with his hands and said as he looked her in the eyes. "No. We'd better settle this as soon as possible... Anyway, it's about those enemies who want to act against your family and me. I want to deal with the Mouse Company."

"What?" She let go of him and pulled away a little, surprised to hear something so problematic from her husband. "Where is this coming from? Why do you want to act against them now?"

,m Lothur then seriously said. "I didn't have the possibility, but now I do. So I want to eliminate these hindrances and acquire something that can strengthen me for the Province Conference."

"You want to eliminate them?" She awkwardly asked.

"Yes, they are my enemies, so there is no place in the world for both of us. One must perish for the other to have peace... And I prefer they are the ones that will disappear." He said, looking into her eyes without being distracted.

"Impossible!"

"The Mouse Company is not just a group of bandits operating in the local underworld. They have contacts with a big family in the capital!" She exclaimed to him, showing her husband why the Frost family never did anything against the organization created by Kai, even considering Elise's letters.
