Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 299 How Decisive The Enemies Were

After looking at each other for a few moments and talking among themselves, the three referees decided that the winner of this match could only be one person.

The fight had been reasonably even at times, but the strategy of one of the participants had overcome his opponent's strength, giving him the advantage at the end of the contest.

Thus, they soon informed the central referee on that platform of their decision.

That person then stood in the middle of that platform and said to Lothur, Phil, and everyone else in the surrounding area. "Contestant Lothur Ritter wins this contest and moves on to the next round of this competition!"

The moment he said that, the surroundings went into a convulsion. The people who were there to celebrate vibrated in excitement, while those involved in the local political game had conflicting emotions.

Part of them still hoped to eliminate Lothur by legal means within this Province Conference, either in the subsequent few days' fighting or in the team battles later. But many were shocked at his performance, not understanding how this young man could be so challenging when he had no equivalent strength to challenge someone like Phil.

No one doubted that Lothur had decent battle power, and it could easily take him to the 3rd day of combat if he were an ordinary competitor. But his power was too small compared to the many enemies who wanted to eliminate him, Phil among them. However, he had a card up his sleeve that no one expected!

"What's with that young man's body?"

"I don't know... Is he cheating?"

"Impossible! Every participant is inspected upon climbing the combat platforms of this competition!"

"Yes, but how can he have such a sturdy body? Didn't you see their match? Phil's second weapon lost its edge after hitting Lothur's body several times!"

People began to argue, while every enemy of Lothur there had this problem and mystery in mind.

Meanwhile, Lothur saw his opponent come down from that platform with a hateful look, having cast a glance in his direction full of resentment.

But he did not pay much attention to that, having focused on the improvements he was experiencing as he descended from that platform.

'Hmm, that was less than I had expected...' Lothur wondered as he noticed the system messages, considering that he had taken some decisive hits from Phil.

But that should not come as a surprise. After all, as his Constitution became more robust, the beating he needed to take to boost his Physique became more demanding.

That is, injuries caused by a 1st stage opponent would not be enough to stimulate his 2nd stage body!

So everything he had achieved in this match in terms of advancement had been similar to what he would achieve in a demanding training session. Since such a match had lasted only 6 minutes, Lothur had not achieved as much as he would have liked.

But he was not too disappointed about that and soon saw the Frost family's ranking, while Elke came to his side worried about the blood on his body.

[... 11th. Frost Family: 28...]

"Lothur, how are you? Do you want help?" She asked as she held one of his arms.

"Don't worry. Most of this blood is not mine. And my wounds have already healed..." He showed her part of his chest through the cuts in his clothes.

Seeing this, Elke was relieved and congratulated her man for the result of this match.

Soon they left that area where many ugly expressions were directed at them.

Because of the end of his match, there was no longer any reason for them to stay there. Thus, they headed toward where the group matches were to take place!

...

After meeting with Viktoria and Annaliese, before saying goodbye to Elke, Lothur told the young redhead to take the information he had obtained to her parents.

Magnus had sent someone to act against him, and now he knew that such a person belonged to the Trapka family. So as vengeful a person as he was, Lothur would not let the previous situation go unnoticed!

Hence, after Elke agreed with him, she left to join her parents in the VIP box of House Becker, where they would watch the team's competition.

As for Annaliese and Viktoria, the two soon told him about their battles and heard about his struggles.

Finally, the trio left for the competitors' area near the central platform of the coliseum, where in a few moments, the main event of the day would begin!

...

When they arrived at the area where the groups waiting to fight were, Lothur and the twin sisters attracted the attention of the young people in the surrounding area.

But none of the three paid much attention to the frightened, envious, or hateful looks around, focusing only on each other.

"Most of the competitors from our family have already been eliminated..." Viktoria sighed as she spoke of the Frost family's dilemma to those two. "Even those who have won matches besides us probably won't be able to stay in the competition."

The Frost family's enemies had acted decisively against that organization on this first day of the Province Conference.

Besides Viktoria, Annaliese, and Lothur, of the 11 other family participants in this competition, 9 had been eliminated from their tests so far. Meanwhile, some of them would not even be able to fight in the group match, as they were severely injured.

As for the 2 who had managed to pass to the next phase of tests, both were in a delicate situation since they would have to fight in a short time in the group match, which was mandatory.

Considering the risk these people had to suffer, the chances that only the three of them would go on to the second day of competition were not small!

As such, Viktoria could not help but sigh for her family's situation.

"The enemies acted very decisively... If it weren't for you, Lothur, the family would be in a precarious situation now." His wife commented.

Since each victory eliminated the losing side, if not for Lothur, House Frost would have lost points, but their enemies would also have gained them!

That way, the outcome would have been significantly worse for this organization, and, as the enemies had planned, this noble house could even lose many of its possessions!

That had been the level at which they had acted against this family!

But to the misfortune of some and the luck of others, Lothur had completely changed these results, preventing the plans of several organizations.

He smiled at her and said. "I'm just getting started, dear. In the coming days, those families who have acted against us will bitterly regret having set their main hopes against me."

Annaliese nodded in agreement, glad that Lothur was on their side to ensure at least a little stability for this family.

But while they were talking about this, two groups approached them...
