Mixed Blessing System

Meanwhile, on one of the avenues through which the Frost family’s convoy was passing at this very moment, Fritz and some of his subordinates were waiting for their moment.

“They are coming at the beginning of the avenue, young master.” One of them communicated to that red-haired young man as they hid among the crowd rushing to the coliseum.

Upon hearing this, Fritz clenched his fists and smiled, feeling that perhaps this was the moment for him to get rid of Lothur finally.

That had already been a goal of his when Lothur was supposed to be just a worthless man with troublesome potential days ago. But now that this young man had proven how terrible he could be, Fritz had much more reason to act!

That even gave him more courage to face possible consequences that his actions could bring.

Unfortunately, Kai had died and had not fulfilled his purpose of eliminating Lothur and suffered the weight of the fists of this young man’s father…

In any case, even considering the risk that Lothur’s father would eventually pursue him, Fritz was fully willing to act in this place.

So as he saw the first carriage of the Frost family group entering the avenue he was in, he asked his men. “Has Simon informed us of Lothur’s movements? Which carriage is he in?”

One of this young man’s bodyguards shook his head negatively upon hearing this and said. “He has not sent us any information, young master.”

“What? How could he not?” Fritz’s eyes narrowed.

That man then said. “I am not sure why, but our lookouts near the Frost estate have not yet received his signal.”

Hearing this, Fritz felt that something was wrong. But since none of his groups around this town had the notices of possible actions, he considered that Lothur could only be in one of those carriages passing by there right now.

“Whatever. Let’s attack them and quickly take action against Viktoria and whatever mortal is closest to her.” He gave his order as he prepared to act along with his men.

Unfortunately for him, as the Frost family carriage group passed between the area where his men were, they noticed a problem.

Viktoria was not there, and there was not a single mortal among all the people in the carriages passing on that street!

“Young master, what do we do? They are not here!” One of the strongest men in the surrounding area said this in a worried tone, not wanting to act against Mabel’s group without their target being there.

It would be terrible to be chased by Mabel. But they were enough to quickly eliminate Lothur and have a good chance of escaping her. However, it would be much worse to risk suffering at her hands without them even having a chance to succeed in this mission!

So one of the strongest individuals sent by the Stauss family to this city to help Fritz was not interested in acting.

Fritz frowned and clenched his fists, noting that neither Viktoria nor Lothur was among the people in those carriages.

‘Where are they? Don’t tell me they’re going to give up competing in the Province Conference Finals?’ He looked at each of those carriages passing by there, feeling frustrated by the current situation.

As all his men looked at him, tense at what this young man might order them to do, Fritz pressed his teeth and cursed Lothur. ‘Damn you!’

“Retreat!” He said, calling off that operation.

There was no reason for him to want trouble with the Frost family group so openly and even at the risk of suffering losses to them at the cost of nothing. So this was the only alternative for them.

With that, while Fritz’s men sighed and the Frost family continued on their way, unaware of the risks in the surroundings, this young man began walking towards the coliseum, stressed.

“Start investigating the matter immediately!” He said to his men. “I want to know exactly how two people managed to fool dozens of us!”

“Yes, young master.”

…

A few minutes later, the grandstands of the coliseum were already almost completely occupied as all the competing families were there for the start of the finals.

Not only were those who participated and followed the last days of the trials in this place, but also some important figures who were not competing in this competition.

Among them was the coroner Klossner. This was a wealthy man from this city who was also part of the Peters City government, even though he was not part of any local noble family.

And like him, many wealthy people who could have their interests affected by the final of this competition were in this place to follow the efforts of the noble families.

Several were fraternizing among themselves now, taking the opportunity to chat with old acquaintances.

But while this was going on, Lothur’s main rivals were intrigued by this young man’s situation.

From the information that had reached several of them, Lothur and Viktoria had not entered the competitors’ area until now. As it was almost time for this young man’s first match of the day to begin, many were already talking about it without understanding what was going on.

“I wonder if something happened to him?” Someone in the Baier family group asked.

“Now it makes no difference to us anymore… Tsk!” One of them said, feeling terrible that he had lost his position to House Frost.

On the other hand, the people in the Duke’s family group did not understand the situation.

“I wonder what happened? Surely Fritz’s group failed to act, or we would have received some information.” Martin commented to his father, not understanding what could have happened to Lothur and Viktoria.

The Duke also had a dubious expression on his face, looking in the direction of the Frost family’s area and noting that they were fine. Still, there was a particular uncertainty in the eyes of several people there.

‘It seems they themselves are not sure what is going on?’ He wondered as he had his eyebrows fully drawn together.

The Duke then said to his son. “There’s something there. I can’t believe a brat as slippery as he would give it all up now.”

Caroline heard all this and bit her lips. She wondered where Lothur was and if anyone in her family would have the opportunity to avenge the defeat she had had for him.

‘Where is he? Has something happened to him?’ She looked in Annaliese’s direction and saw that, unlike the other people in that area, this brown-haired woman was tranquil.

‘Hmm, she knows something…’ Caroline’s eyes narrowed. ‘Looks like that fellow is playing with the minds of his opponents.’

While everyone was thinking about Lothur, the finals’ opening ended, and soon the main referee of the event announced the first matches of formations masters.

As expected, Lothur’s opponents had forced this young man’s first encounter with one of the strongest formation masters competing in this final. But, at the same time, they gave him no chance to proceed to the next round without a fight!

And with that, when his name was called, hundreds of people were silent as they tried to understand what would happen.

Would he just give up? Would he find a way to attend this match?

But they soon had their answers!
