Mixed Blessing System

Jacob's father then said. "When you have a price for that glove, contact me through the place my son went with you in Peters City."

"As soon as I receive your contact, I will send someone I trust to negotiate with you."

"That's good enough for me." Lothur smiled, pleased that he had gotten one more interested in his glove. "By the way, I heard from Jacob that you sell resources in Lewerenz? So I can assume that you have contacts with suppliers of certain materials, right?"

"Indeed. Although I don't sell special items for cultivators in my store, nor do I sell raw materials, I do know suppliers of it." Kevin nodded.

"Well, then we can do more business in the future. I will certainly need several suppliers of materials for my products..." He looked at Jacob and then asked this fellow's father. "Did he tell you about the special vehicle I am developing?"

Kevin closed his eyes and nodded. He did not think that this so-called vehicle that could be useful in speeding up the manipulation of farmland would be possible to make. But it was undeniable that the idea was tempting, and he could not help but imagine how revolutionary it would be if it became real.

"He told me about it, but as for that, I'd rather wait for you to move forward with your plans." He said without immediately turning down this young man whom he did not want to offend. "Then, if you eventually produce one of these, I will be more than interested in doing business about it."

"I see..." Lothur did not feel bad about Kevin's caution. It was to be expected that people would have some resistance to new technologies never seen before.

But once he produced the miniature of his first vehicle, Lothur was sure he would get support from his contacts.

After all, those who do not stay on the side of progress eventually end up eating dust and being left behind!

Anyway, after talking about their potential business, the group finished their dessert and returned to less relevant subjects.

But before they said goodbye, Kevin asked Lothur a critically important question.

"Lothur, you have great ideas and are talented. So, I ask you, what do you intend to do in the future? Frost family, Becker family... Who knows creating your own power?" He asked this in a low voice as his wife and son walked further back beside Elke.

Lothur's eyes sharpened at this question, but since this was something relevant for partners to know, he did not hide everything he planned. "I can guarantee that I will have an organization looking after my products and that besides my family and me, others will not influence it."

"Becker family, Frost family, those divisions are irrelevant to me. I will ally and relate to whoever has good ideas and intentions, whether they come from any background."

"I particularly prefer the business model of the Cultivation House than those noble families..." He finished commenting on this as he reached outside the Siegel estate.

"Oh?" After hearing all that, Kevin's mouth dropped open in surprise.

He had not expected that a young man like Lothur had such a well-developed mentality to the point that he had not fallen into the traps of the noble families, even though he was part of one.

Moreover, Kevin saw that Lothur had more similarities with merchants than with the nobility. And since he was a merchant, he could not help but like this young man even more and feel that his chances of success were greater because of this.

He then laughed and tapped one of Lothur's shoulders. "Well, I hope you succeed. In any case, you can count on the Siegel family of Lewerenz in the future!"

"Hmmm."

Lothur and Elke then said goodbye to that family, promising to welcome them to their own residence for dinner one day.

Finally, they made their way through the streets of Lewerenz until they reached where the Becker family carriage was waiting for them.

"Young lady, you took too long! Where have you been? I was already almost tearing my hair out because of nervousness!" The old coachman ran up to them, feeling a massive relief in his heart to see Elke all right.

He did not know what to do if something happened to his young lady.

How would he face her parents?

Luckily, she had returned unharmed.

Elke smiled as she saw that old man she had known since she was a little child. "Don't worry, old Feller, a few setbacks delayed us, but we have already finalized our business in this city."

"Let's return home."

"SIgh..."

He sighed in relief and opened the door on one side of the carriage for Elke and Lothur. "Young lady, you look a little tired... Is everything all right?" He noticed some paleness on her face.

Elke then replied without looking at him. "I am a little tired due to our mission... Because of that, I will have to relax a bit during our return, so please give us some privacy."

Lothur understood what this was all about and smiled.

"All right, young lady! I won't disturb you!" He naively said.

And so, Lothur and Elke settled into that carriage while that old figure sat behind the horses to drive that carriage back to Peters City.

As they did so, a man all in black, on a horse with fur of the same color, was following their tracks with a severe look on his face.

'These people are leaving the city, huh? That will be my chance to question them about what happened to the young master!'

"Humph!"

"I don't believe you people are unrelated to the young master's disappearance! He left to go after you and hasn't returned, while you look so good..."

"You know something!" He muttered as he left that well-lit area to enter the dark dirt road that Lothur and Elke's carriage was making its way down.

...

After a few minutes since their reunion with the coachman of that carriage, Elke and Lothur were warming up the interior of this means of transportation, with this woman already without clothes.

Elke and Lothur were committed to this special treatment, so naturally, they would not waste the whole night sleeping!

Because of this, as soon as they left Lewerenz, they closed the curtains of the carriage windows and began their business...

Unfortunately, while Elke was already holding her voice not to alert old Feller, Lothur felt strange and stopped his movements.

"What is it?" Elke opened her eyes and questioned him.

Lothur said nothing to her, but she could see how his eyes seemed to glow, even in the dark of that carriage.

All Seeing Eyes!

Immediately after activating his passive ability, Lothur saw through the walls of the carriage and noticed the presence of a horse running alongside this vehicle.

As he noticed this, he turned towards the coachman and saw one more person there. Not only this, from the movements of the two, it seemed that the newcomer was trying to make the coachman faint.

"We are under attack," Lothur commented as he took his hands off Elke and began to put his clothes back on.

As he did so, he saw the status of that man.

[Name: ****]

[Cultivation: level 5]

[STR: 15.4] [CON: 16.1] [DEX: 14.9] [AGI: 16.2]

Noticing this person's characteristics, Lothur calmed down and looked around his surroundings for other enemies. But he soon realized that there was no one else around and began to plan what to do.

'This person will probably stop the carriage somewhere remote and capture us while we sleep...' He pondered this while doubt about where this person was coming from arose in his heart.

'There are several people who may be after me... In particular, the entire Mouse Company.'

'Hmmm, it might be good to interrogate him, but since this person has some characteristics superior to mine, I don't want to risk surprise while Elke is with me.' His eyes sharpened as the young red-haired woman looked at him in anticipation.

"Lothur..."

"Don't worry. This person is within my capabilities. I will lead with him, and we will return to Peters City." He hugged her and then told her his plan. "That person will probably stop this carriage soon, Elke. So, let's do it this way..."

After hearing her man's whispering voice, Elke nodded in agreement to him, confident that everything would work out if she followed what he had suggested.

With that, it was not long before the two returned to a sleeping position, and that carriage slowed down as it approached a canyon.

"Everything is going well..." The man investigating Harry's disappearance looked back and smiled, seeing a place for him to stop. "Time for action!"
