"So that's it..." Viktoria smiled as she understood what these people wanted.
But as she remembered her and her family's recent needs, she couldn't help but let out a few laughs, feeling even her eyes getting watery.
"So, let me get this straight..." She said, still laughing, drawing Mabel's attention to her unusual behavior. "You want to buy our shares of the Ritter Motor Company... You came to our city to participate in the auction..."
"Hmm, that's right," Jonas said while looking strangely at Viktoria.
"So that's it! You sent people to us for the Ritter Motor Company shares, but when I asked your family to come over and help my mother, you ignored me."
Her smile stopped, and she began to clap her hands.
"Bravo! Bravo, Rios family! I'm impressed!"
Hearing that, everyone from the Frost family in the surrounding area felt terrible, looking at those people as if they were nothing more than profiteers.
The Rios family members were silent momentarily, unable to find words to be used as a shield.
Mabel closed her eyes and sighed, regretting that her family behaved in such a way in front of her daughter.
She knew that they would not help her casually since the way she had left had not been well-resolved. But she didn't have to go through this with her daughter!
Helmut stepped forward and said. "Not quite, Miss..."
"You keep quiet in your corner!" Viktoria increased her tone as she pointed one of her fingers at this person.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJonas sighed and took a step in front of Helmut. "I see we won't accomplish anything here... So I'll say goodbye.
Mabel, it was good to see you again."
With those words, they turned and walked out of that hall in everyone's eyes.
"That's right, go away! And don't come back here! Your Rios family has no room in this house! Do you hear me?"
Viktoria stood up from her armchair, shouting in the direction of those people.
...
Meanwhile, in a luxurious hotel in Peters City...
Klaus and his group had returned to where they were staying after their terrible meeting with Annaliese.
At this moment, Klaus was red with rage, angry to the core of his soul, feeling that he had to do something against this woman and the Ritter Motor Company.
Unfortunately, so many specialists were interested in this company that he could do nothing, even if he were the emperor.
As for Annaliese, she was already strong enough to defend herself against this group, and even if she wasn't, she still had Viktoria on her side.
Everyone in this city knew Viktoria was currently the strongest in the province with her level 18 soul cultivation. In addition, she had control of the Ritter Motor Company and could be considered one of the most influential women in the empire.
Thinking about this, Klaus couldn't help but be furious without being able to find a way out of this problem.
"Shit!
What will we do to fix what happened today? That damned thing disrespected me!" He yelled at his men.
But none of them had solutions in mind.
As they stood in silence, suddenly, one of the walls in the living room where they were standing distorted, and they all realized that a Saint was coming.
Gulp!
"Who will it be? Could it be the Jansen family?"
But to the misfortune of these people, a silver-haired man emerged from that spatial distortion!
"Lo..." Klaus opened his mouth in shock and promptly recognized Lothur.
But before he or anyone else there could say his name, Lothur pressed them down, immobilizing their bodies.
"Leopoldine family, eh?" He looked at that man who had hair like his own but shorter. "I didn't think I would find one of you here... Well, it's not bad, it makes my job easier.
Now I don't have to go to the empire's capital to get back at you."
Klaus heard that as he broke into a cold sweat, noting that Lothur was much stronger than everyone thought and was probably the abominable creature everyone felt.
Considering that alone, he was already trembling with fear!
It was no different for his men, and each was sweating coldly, almost pissing themselves with the terror of falling into the hands of this abominable creature.
"Lo... Lot..." The prince tried to say something, and Lothur lessened the pressure on him.
"Lothur, please don't do this. We are from the same family! Plus, I never did anything against you! Everything that happened was between you and Lars!"
Klaus said in a low voice, noticing that Lothur had already manipulated the space in that area to block any signals coming from there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLothur laughed as he walked through that living room. "Maybe it is true... How would I know? In any case, innocent or not, 'Uncle,' it makes no difference.
Now that you are here, there is no reason for me not to use this opportunity."
Gulp!
"What are you going to do? Killing me would draw too much attention." Klaus said, looking at Lothur, already hopeless but still attached to his life.
"Oh, I'm not going to kill you. Since you are currently ahead in the race for the throne, I will allow you to become the emperor and serve me!" Black flames appeared on Lothur's hands as he maliciously giggled.
"Klaus Leopoldine, from this day forward, you and your men will be my slaves. Work to dominate the imperial family and serve me!" Lothur said as he had one of his hands under Klaus' head.
Klaus and his men were mere Transcendents, so in a few moments, Lothur dominated them, making them bend their knees in their surroundings.
"Master!" They all said at once.
Lothur beamed upon seeing this. "Work with Fritz Stauss and Leon Welzel to bring Lars down. After that, you will be under the command of my women, Annaliese, Viktoria, Elke, and Rebecca."
"Yes, master!"
"Hmm, besides..." Lothur's eyes sparkled. "Tell me about your family's treasure that Daemon stole."
"That would be the Blood Crystal, master," Klaus replied immediately. "It is one of the 10 Impeccable Jewels, one of the 30 Magnificent Items."
"Oh?" Lothur heard this, and immediately part of what he had learned from the ancestors of the Frost family came to his mind.
Before, he didn't know what these 30 Magnificent Items were all about, but currently, he was aware of the value of each of them!
With this information, Lothur was more determined than before to go after Daemon for this Blood Crystal.
His eyes sparkled at the possibility in front of him. 'With this item, I can create a Platinum-grade artifact!'
