Chapter 289 Amelie's Target
Chapter 289 Amelie's Target
Upon arriving at the location of his third competition of the day, Lothur immediately saw Amelie and Lina sitting on the outskirts of that fighting platform.
Not only that, he soon realized that these women wanted to talk to him, so while checking who he would compete with, he walked alongside Annaliese to those two.
At the same time, Kai, who was in the area, looked in the direction of Lothur's handsome face, full of hatred in his eyes, standing there to see if this young man would repeat his previous exploits.
He had already heard about Lothur's outstanding performance in the competition for poison masters, and now he no longer underestimated this person so much. On the contrary, he had come to this place only to confirm that his enemy was, in fact, a super genius who would thwart his plans in every possible way.
So he already expected that Lothur would do very well in this place and was there just to see for himself.
'That wretch!'
'He has ruined all my plans! Now our only hope will probably be in the battles later...' He thought about this as his fists clenched so tightly that the bones in his hands were making strange noises.
He then said to one of his subordinates there with him. "Start investigating this brat. I want everyone in our group looking for information regarding him and how we didn't realize he was so good at so many different things."
"Yes, boss!"
"That's very strange... Hiding something like that is absurd. Even big families in the capital can't hide their top seeds like that, making them look useless to everyone." One of Kai's allies said this, also interested in investigating Lothur and House Frost.
"Yes, there is something very wrong here," Kai commented, staring at Lothur and Annaliese, who had just greeted Lina and Amelie.
...
"So you will observe me again, Miss Engelmann?" Lothur commented to that black-haired woman.
Lina smiled at him while still sitting next to Amelie. "You were so formidable earlier that my curiosity did not allow me to miss this chance..."
The blonde next to Lina then commented. "It's just a shame we didn't get a chance to watch you in the competition for poison masters..."
"Hmm, we heard you had an excellent performance." Lina nodded in agreement, regretting not having seen Lothur advance his poison resistance in the middle of a match.
While saying this, the two were genuinely impressed with his performance as a poison master. Due to the glove they came in contact with, both were already aware of his skills as a formations master and tailor.
But they had no idea whether the profession of poison master that he claimed to dedicate himself to along with those other two was also his forte or just something secondary.
Thus, their surprise and satisfaction had not been small when they learned about his achievements in that competition.
Since both wanted their family close to Lothur, it was excellent that he was so good in so many different areas, even considering that usually people do not do well subdividing so much of their time.
He would probably have to focus on one profession or another in the future, but that did not diminish how talented he was!
And having secondary professions was not bad either!
"Hehe, you haven't seen anything yet." Lothur smiled, considering that he would soon become a doctor. "Anyway, I'm glad you came."
Amelie then looked at him a little more seriously and said. "Your first opponent in this match will probably not be much of a challenge for you, considering your abilities, Lothur. But your second, we believe, will be the Dohmen family's hope in this competition."
The Dohmen family had placed last in the last edition of the Province Conference. In addition, this family focused on tailoring and had a young prodigy who was the hope of this organization for them not to lose their noble titles after this week.
Lina then said. "The Dohmen family is another one of the powers of the Linn Province that is on the enemy side of House Frost. They have allied themselves with the Baier family due to their precarious position, hoping that with your organization's fall, they will at least be able to keep their current titles."
Lothur and Annaliese continued to pay attention to those two when Amelie said. "To that end, surely the draw for your second opponent will be against that young genius of the Dohmen family, who will try his best to destroy you."
"Is that so? Those families like to bet against me..." Lothur closed his eyes and smiled.
"But that's nothing new," Annaliese commented. "Several families are doing the same against my brother-in-law today."
"Yes, we know... But the point here is, we want to propose something to you, Lothur." Amelie looked into the silver eyes of this young man, thinking of her ruthless plan.
She then continued. "This person will do his best to defeat you and even hurt you. If possible, he will certainly try to kill you. So I propose that you get up on that stage and kill Oliver Dohmen."
"Oh?" Lothur and Annaliese were interested in this woman's proposal.
The young brunette woman next to him then asked. "Why are you suggesting this? What will you gain from it?"
Lina then explained. "As we said, Oliver is the hope of this family. That also means that even if they don't do well in this competition, as long as he is doing well, this house will have local importance in tailoring."
House Dohmen's move against Lothur would be for the sake of their future, but it was also the Christen family's opportunity!
Amelie expressed. "Our family has a good chance of becoming a house with noble titles if the Dohmen family falls in this competition. Not only that, if Oliver dies here, we can surpass that family in a few years and take their business for ourselves."
The Christen family already wanted an opportunity to act against House Dohmen, their rival that was a little stronger than them. But it was tough to act outside of this competition because of the difference in status between the two organizations, as well as the laws of the empire.
However, when such a family became involved with House Baier and made themselves available to deal with Lothur, a young man with whom House Christen had good relations, this incredible opportunity arose!
Now Amelie's family could deal with the greatest prodigy of their adversaries and still give a much-needed 'push' for such an organization to head towards a precipice!
As such, they could not miss this opportunity, and both women were there to convince Lothur to eliminate Oliver!
Their family could soon ally themselves with this young man, so it would also be of great benefit to him if they had the chance to gain noble titles, which came with political and economic benefits.
So, since this was a good situation for both sides, they put their cards on the table without hesitation, talking about the end of young Oliver as if it was no big deal.
"I should kill Oliver for the Christen family to rise to the nobility, huh?" Lothur said, understanding the advantages he would get out of it.
