Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 406 Using The Emperor

When he heard the leader of that group speaking those words, Lothur immediately understood the reason for this circus around the exit of the Hippodrome.

'So it was a person from the Duke who was trying to spy on me...' He looked in the direction of the commander of the local guard, sensing how shameless these people were.

Not only did they want to meddle in his business, but they also wanted to punish him for trying to stop their action against him!

Meanwhile, Viktoria and Annaliese, also in his carriage, were watching the situation outside that area, where many guards were stationed.

"Lothur, what are we going to do?" Annaliese asked, worried about what might happen.

"Let's try to talk to them." He said as he got up and left that carriage.

In the midst of this, Viktoria saw that several of the carriages that were leaving that place before theirs had stopped, with their partners turning their attention to this situation.

"What's going on here, guard commander?" Gomeric asked as he left his carriage after Elke's requests.

Already outside that estate, the city guard commander looked at the Becker patriarch and said. "This is not a matter involving the Becker family. So, you have nothing to worry about."

"Oh? What about me?" Aiken also left his carriage, interested in solving this problem.

He was Lothur's father-in-law, so even if he did not have an economic interest in protecting this young man, he would be there to help right now.

But with everything that had happened in the last few hours, all those local experts were interested in keeping Lothur alive and well. After all, he was the future of the Ritter Motor Company!

Therefore, not only did Aiken and Gomeric leave their carriages in support of Lothur, all the people leaving that Hippodrome did the same.

'This Lothur business will bring a lot of resources to the academy in the future. I won't just watch these idiots get in the way of my organization's future victories...' The Morning Star Academy principal thought to himself as he left his carriage.

The Morning Star Academy was an institution under the control of the imperial family. But each province of the empire had its own academy. As a result, these institutions competed with each other, generating good prizes for students and academy leaders.

When an academy was doing well, producing many prodigies for the empire, the principals and some of the professionals in those units could be rewarded immensely. After all, they were partly to blame for the success of their students.

These professionals taught and created the study and training environment that young people needed. They got the materials, opportunities, and good assignments. In short, those things to the growth of cultivators.

So even when one of these individuals, as in the case of this principal, was not directly involved with the students in his academy, they had their merits.

The imperial family knew this very well and rewarded those professionals who gave the best results with resources and status promotions within the empire.

Everyone had their ambitions. Everyone needed coins and influence, so without exception, individuals in this man's position tried to strengthen their connections and positions, to better themselves.

Luis was doing this by buying 10% of the Ritter Motor Company, securing a new source of income for the academy, which could result in extra resources to nurture more prodigies.

But before taking the reins of the matter, this man remained silent to see how Lothur would handle the situation.

Meanwhile, the local guard men were beginning to feel strange since, in the short time between the previous surrender order and now, many experts voiced on Lothur's behalf.

Not everyone wanted to wait to see Lothur try to solve his problems on his own. Hence, several late 2nd stage cultivators were there to speak on his behalf. And because of how strange this seemed, considering that Lothur did not have influence until recently, these people could not help but form strange expressions on their faces.

'What's going on here?' One of these guards thought about it as he looked at coroner Klossner, who was also standing there trying to talk to the guard commander.

August had been convinced of Lothur's potential even before seeing and driving this young man's vehicle today. He had already heard how strong the young Ritter was, but he also had proof of the integrity of that woman's words when he saw such a young man acting against the Duke's spy.

So he, who also had his ambitions, would not let his newly formed alliance with such a promising young man go down the drain without at least trying to deal with the matter. ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

"Commander, what is the meaning of this? Don't tell me that the Duke is trying to force himself against young Lothur?" He exclaimed to that individual, who was stunned by so many people siding with that young criminal.

"Coroner Klossner, why are you speaking on behalf of this little delinquent? He destroyed the cultivation of a good man. How can this be the Duke's fault?" That guard leader shouted, trying to make it sound like Lothur was to blame for everything and that he was the voice of justice.

But then, Lothur reached outside that area and said, as he stood just a few meters from those enemies. "What you actually mean is that, after you sent your spy, you want to condemn me because I protected myself. My crime is that I acted against an enemy who wanted to harm me, who invaded a private place..."

"I wonder, does the Duke of the province have no shame?" He asked in a tone of teasing. "Does the Duke Waldeaur have no respect for the emperor? Does he know that the rules of the empire say that anyone who feels threatened within a private property can act against the enemy?"

"Or are you guys saying that self-defense no longer exists? Maybe the rules have changed?" Lothur continued to talk provocatively, looking from one side of that area to the other, smiling at the enemy.

Lothur might not have the best of common sense, considering that he did not know much about the customs of this cultivation world. But he had read all kinds of books in Sector-1, where almost all the empire's laws were available for students to learn.

Because of this, he knew perfectly well that he could act against that man from earlier, which is why he destroyed such a person's cultivation without hesitation.

He did not know who was behind that man and when the problem would come to him. But he was fully aware that the enemy could not act within the law against him just because of this.

As for acting in other ways, his opponents already had reasons to do so. Thus, this young man would not be the one to hold against these nuisances who thought he was someone to be trifled with.

And with that, he made all those Duke people temporarily silent, unable to say anything because of the shameless man who had just used the emperor against them.
