Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 277 Opinions 1

When Gomeric asked for silence in that area of the Becker family, it did not take long for the people there to slowly fall silent and look in his direction.

He then said. "I have something to tell you about the competitor Lothur Ritter of the Frost family."

Many eyes went wide among the people there who knew about this young man's recent visits to their property and his friendship with Elke.

Elke, who was also there following the event, immediately realized that her father would talk about the newly signed agreement with Lothur and closed her fists in determination.

For her, the first step for her family to hand her over to Lothur was precisely for the elders to realize how remarkable her lover was. So, she could not help but be excited at this moment.

Gomeric then continued. "As you know, Lothur is very close to little Elke. And because of that, Hilda and I have had the opportunity to talk with him a few times and notice his abilities."

"But not only that. Lothur has also taken these chances to approach us and present some of his ideas. One of them, we recently signed a contract!"

"Oh?"

"Is that true?" Several people who knew nothing exclaimed in surprise, with smiles on their faces, since with this first day's results from Lothur, they could already imagine how favorable this agreement would be for them.

"This will bring many benefits to the family!"

"Yes, with such a talented young formations master, the sky is the limit!"

"Patriarch, what is this agreement signed with the young master of the Frost family all about?"

Upon hearing the question from one of the elders there, Gomeric quickly summarized his agreement with Lothur. "Our agreement is about a glove produced by this young man. He is actually as talented a formations master as he is a tailor!"

"What? He's a tailor too?"

"Oh? So that's why the family is gathering tailors?" One of the elders involved in this matter asked, more or less comprehending what was happening.

Hilda nodded and said. "Yes, he has produced something that we think is of great value to mortals and has the potential to bring a new source of income to the family. Since everything is already settled about this arrangement, we are preparing to produce and market these gloves!"

Smiles appeared on several faces around that area until someone from the wing of House Becker, who liked the arranged marriage agreement with the Baier family, asked. "Patriarch, is this worth it? Is it worth getting closer to the decadent Frost family on that account?"

Other people thinking the same thing turned their attention again to Gomeric, and this man said. "Elder Otto, perhaps our assessment of House Frost, as well as all the local powers, is incorrect. So let me ask you this question. What if this family wins and increases its local rights instead of losing positions in this competition?"

"Furthermore," Hilda continued her husband's line. "Lothur not only has one thing in mind. Soon he will present us with something that, if it works out well, would pay off for us to take a chance on the Frost family's side!"

Elke heard all this from her seat, feeling good that her parents were on Lothur's side and believed in him.

And from the people's reactions in the surrounding area, she felt that anything was possible as long as the Frost family kept doing well and Lothur's projects proved successful.

The powers of the empire were mainly against the Frost family because of that organization's past. But coin spoke louder than anything in this world, and it was hard to ignore the chance to connect with someone talented, regardless of their background.

A person committed to his family's future would even welcome into his home and dine with his worst enemy if that was necessary for his organization's success!

So no one was utterly enemy or non-ally of others. Everyone had the potential to change sides when the circumstances were right!

...

At the same time, in the Waldauer family area...

Caroline was at this moment smiling at her older brother, looking at the serious face of this fellow as if she were saying to him, 'I told you.'

But while she showed in her expression that her intuition was excellent, she was also surprised by Lothur's result and the good start of the Frost family in this competition.

Caroline had expected that Lothur would do better than everyone expected. But there was no way for her to know that he was as skilled a formations master as he had already proven himself in this first exam he took.

As such, she could not help but think about that great-looking fellow and try to discover more of his mysteries. 'I think I'll follow the poison masters match he'll be participating in later.' So she thought to herself as she said goodbye to her family to go to her match site.

As she was doing this, Martin was standing next to his father, the duke of Linn Province, talking to this man about such a start of the competition.

"I didn't expect the son-in-law of the Frost family to be hiding... That was a big surprise." Martin said to his father, feeling doubly bad about it all.

He liked Viktoria, so Lothur's result, which showed that such a person was not a good-for-anything, only made everything worse.

Martin did not like the idea that Viktoria had given herself to that fellow. But if Lothur at least was a good-for-nothing, he could console himself that she was the one who was losing out by not choosing him.

But in this situation, the duke's son felt terrible, even if he still considered himself many times better than the silver-haired bastard.

Chris Waldauer listened to his son's comment and continued to observe his family's 1st place ranking. "Nobody expected that, but it doesn't make much difference. A single person will not make the difference needed for House Frost to get a good position in this conference."

"These other tests that such a boy is going to take are just to round out the number of tests for this family. There is no hope for him to have other good results..." This experienced figure said this, confident in all he had seen in his 450 years.

Chris knew that it was tough for someone to be as excellent as Lothur was in the profession of formations master at his age and still have time to study other fields. As such, he was confident that this young man would not be able to repeat the same results in his afternoon games.

As for the fighting skills of this son-in-law of the Frost family, he was not worried about this. Lothur might even have some hidden skills, but later on, influential people would be trying to kill him!

So what future would this young man have?

Hell, even with this young man's good result on this first day of the competition for formations masters, he probably would not take the second day's test since he might not even be in this world anymore...

Thus, the Frost family's good result would invariably be restrained as the day progressed!

"Is that so?" Martin asked, remembering the look on his younger sister's face.

"Hmmm." His father confidently nodded. "You will see, this family will stop moving forward after the trials of that girl, Viktoria..."
