Mixed Blessing System

After the auction ended, Viktoria, Annaliese, and Elke returned to Lothur’s house with doubts in their hearts.

None of them needed to explain what had happened when they met him. They knew that he had followed everything from this place.

He smiled at them and said. “That was a good auction… But you are worried about how our partners will make their investments, right?”

“Yes, especially our family,” Annaliese said, thinking of the weakened Frost family.

“Don’t worry about the Frost and Koch families. Since they are already subordinates of our House Ritter, we will naturally make up whatever is lacking for them to complete their investments.” He said as he handed over a spatial ring with almost 10 million gold coins inside it.

Lothur had collected many items in the Imperial Prison that, if sold, would generate many coins.

He had not previously given all these items to the Koch patriarch, only the coins he had collected in prison.

“What about the other families?” Elke asked.

“Let them find their resolutions.” He smiled. “I’ve heard some of the ideas from groups of our former associates. They have already found interesting ways to solve the problem, so you don’t have to worry.

Besides, these many people who have not been able to join our company will not give up so easily. They will stay here for a few days to find a solution to join us. So one side will end up helping the other.”

“Are you sure?” Viktoria asked him.

“Certainly. Don’t worry about it. Focus your attention on what matters. With those coins you’ll get in the next few hours, it will be time for us to build about ten more factories in the province and hire a few thousand professionals.

There are few skilled people to work for us in the province, so you will have to hire people from outside.

And then there are the businesses that we will open around the empire… Sigh, it really is a lot.” He smiled at them, relieved that he wasn’t leading all this.

He would be leaving soon, so taking care of all this hassle would be these women’s responsibility!

That said, they laughed and soon went to get something to eat, satisfied with today’s sale.

In a single night, they had raised an amount that, even considering the entire province, there was not much local wealth to generate the value of the Ritter Motor Company.

Winning coins were good anywhere, so soon they would celebrate for the rest of the night!

…

Two days passed quickly…

In those two days, Lothur had remained on his property most of the time. Still, he had talked with some local leaders and former partners of the Ritter Motor Company.

After coaching them in the right direction, the families most concerned about the amounts they would have to invest in the Ritter Motor Company began meetings with out-of-province powers to talk business.

They would solve their financial problems by finding new partners, partners of their own, but not of the Ritter Motor Company.

In a sense, what the old partners in Lothur would create to solve their problems was the concept of Earth-holding companies, which controlled other enterprises.

They could not sell their shares of the Ritter Motor Company. Yet, they had complete freedom to share their responsibilities and rights.

Lothur could not interfere with how, for example, the Becker family would distribute their profits in the future. That was Elke’s parents’ problem!

And so the Holdings had been born in Leopoldine, with even the Morning Star Academy having joined this new movement.

The imperial family owned the academy, but even that family did not have as many coins as the academy needed.

Therefore, Luis had already negotiated half of his liabilities with groups of nobles of the empire in the two days since the auction.

The Becker family, the Christen, Teusen, and several other former Lothur partners did the same in those days, quickly approaching the amounts they would have to pay. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏｖ𝚎𝚕．𝚌ｏｍ

By the end of the week, the Ritter Motor Company would have to have 210 million gold coins at its disposal to increase its presence throughout the empire, but everything was developing nicely for that to happen, despite how absurd that figure was.

With everyone who came to Peters City for the Ritter Motor Company auction somehow managing to connect to that organization, no major problems happened locally.

Many thought a battle over the Ritter Motor Company would happen. Yet, with so many high-level powers involved with the company, no partners had done anything.

But some of the most powerful were looking at the former partners of that company, in particular House Ritter, with sharp eyes.

Everyone agreed that things needed to continue the schedule created by the Ritter family, as well as several of the protocols made by people in that family.

But some people had their eye on power with the highest position within that company.

Good controllers or not, this family held something of greatness that no power could buy, not even the magnificent Jansen family!

So all eyes were on the Ritter family, and as much as nothing had happened so far, if Viktoria and her people made a mistake, things wouldn’t stay that way for long!

…

By sunset, Lothur was alongside his women and the men of the Ritter family in their secret headquarters.

Finally, it was time for him to leave for his journey, and he said goodbye to everyone.

In front of him, his wives were a little downcast, as they did not know how long he would be away.

However, they were all committed to doing what was best for the Ritter Motor Company and to occupying their minds with the affairs of that company while he was traveling.

But they were also determined to get stronger!

This was especially true for Viktoria, who had advanced to level 18 in her body cultivation the night before.

In front of these women, Lothur advised them. “You will lead the family from now on, so be careful. These new partners will try to pressure you, so be careful with your actions and keep our old members united around you.

The contracts we have signed will prevent these powers from acting against you physically, but they will try to pressure the other partners, change the shareholding composition, etc.

But the pressures will be less as long as you do what we have planned and generate some returns.

From time to time, distribute some profits to please these people.

In the meantime, try to get stronger and become Saints. That will help more than anything else.”

They all nodded upon hearing their man’s words.

“As for the rest of you, work hard to help them.”

“Yes, master!”

Lothur ignored these many Transcendents and looked at Ice, who was standing around listening to him as well.

“Ice, I will go to the Three Great Lakes Region. Do you wish to come with me, or will you stay here?”

“I wish to stay.” She said, as she found it much more fun and promising to remain part of the Ritter family.

“Very well, if I find your acquaintances and tribe members, I will tell them you are well.”

After those words, Lothur left, disappearing into space.
