Chapter 248 Complicated Background
“With the arrival of the Province Conference, some of our friends infiltrating that family will act to facilitate the defeat of House Frost, which will also help us deal with that brat,” Kai confidently said. “When that fellow attends the conference, he will be finished! I’ll have one of my men deal with him and put an end to the young master’s worries if another enemy of his doesn’t intervene first.”
Part of the organizations that were against the Frost family were working together. Some wanted only the overthrow of that family, but others, like House Stauss, also wanted the end of Lothur.
Due to the common interest of these families against House Frost, Kai knew that several problems would arise for the family of Lothur’s wife in the coming days, which would create chances for his group.
Not only that, he was aware that the Baier family had great chances to act against Lothur since this would be the best opportunity for them to confirm the guilt of this individual in Alric’s misfortune. And with that, it would be the opportunity to get rid of this annoying-looking fellow.
Given the adverse scenario for Lothur, Kai felt he would not fail this time, and even if his group were not the one to deal the final blow, the silver-haired bastard would perish!
That’s why he was confident and spoke that way to the young red-haired man in front of him.
“I think you better be right!” Fritz commented in an icy tone, showing that these people would suffer the consequences if they failed.
“I was going to give you Elise as a prize if you succeed in your mission. But since you allowed her to die, be content with your temporary non-punishment and this second chance. Other than that, there will be no prizes, even if you complete this mission…”
“But be careful. There won’t be a third chance!” He stood up, looking at that fellow with bent knees in front of him.
Kai swallowed his complaints dry, feeling how much Lothur had disrupted his life. ‘Damn it!’
‘I was supposed to have that beautiful blonde as my toy for me to do with as I pleased, but that miserable bastard had to stand in my way!’
‘Now, not only have I lost that woman, but I’m also at risk of punishment!’ Kai clenched his fists as the young redhead left that place to head toward the local hotel.
Fritz was in this city to attend the Province Conference, a competition in which his family was interested in the results, even though they were from another province.
So, as a public figure, this young nobleman from House Stauss could not stay in a place like the headquarters of the Mouse Company, a place full of criminals and prostitutes.
As such, after arriving in this city a few hours ago, he had already checked into a prominent local hotel where he was heading right now.
‘I hope Kai’s men will eliminate little bastard in the next few days…’ He thought as he made his way in his carriage to the center of this city. ‘I don’t want to be directly involved in that person’s death.’
‘When his father finds out, there will surely be chaos, and the first ones in his path will die.’ He remembered a famous shadow of Leopoldine and shivered a little in fear.
His family was part of the faction of the third prince, which meant that it would be vital for them to dominate or even destroy the Frost family. But this noble house wanted to overthrow Lothur not because of Viktoria or her family, but because of a background that even he did not know about!
Lothur carried the most violent bloodline on the continent, so they wanted to eliminate this threat and prevent the union of two individuals with the same powers against their faction.
No one knew for sure what Lothur’s father’s plans were, but everyone knew that if he moved, chaos would spread, and even the strongest in Leopoldine would have a hard time!
According to rumors, Lothur’s father would not move as long as the current Emperor was in charge of the state. But evil tongues were spreading rumors that the same would not happen with the imperial successors…
To avoid worrying about two similarly dangerous people, not just one, they wanted to take Lothur out of the equation!
But he, Fritz Stauss, did not want to be the one to deliver the decisive blow!
He knew the terror of the background of Lothur and was using the secret group created by a subordinate to get dirty for him!
“Sigh…”
“When the worst happens, we will return to Holland as soon as possible.” He commented to his two bodyguards. “There is no need for us to stay and watch the storm…”
…
At the same time, outside the Frost estate …
“I am here to deliver the identification of young Lothur Ritter. Can you lead me to him?” The old formation master that Lothur had met earlier asked one of the guards at the entrance to that estate.
He was surprised to find that Lothur had given the address of the Frost family, even more so considering that he did not have that last name. But hell, it was not unusual for servants or children of servants in families of this size to have some above-average talents.
So this man did not give the matter much thought, putting his surprise aside to look for Lothur and talk to him about joining the Association.
The guard in question looked strangely at Philip and asked. “Lothur? Identification? What are you talking about?”
“Yes, a young formation master named Lothur, silver hair, good looks, put this address in his record. Is something wrong?” Philip said.
“Formation master?” The man laughed. “Sir, you must be mistaken. The only Lothur we have here is a good-for-nothing mortal who spends his days throwing his time away.”
“I think the person you are talking about must be someone who looks like him, just…”
Philip considered the possibility that Lothur had given the wrong address, but considering how talented that fellow was, there was no way he would do something so stupid.
He then became angry at that guard’s disrespect and said. “Watch your language! I won’t allow you to talk about young Lothur that way! He is a respected formation master in our Association, so I will not accept jokes with his name!”
That man lost his good humor as he had his neck held by one of the hands of that formation master who was many times stronger than himself.
The other guards in the surrounding area saw this and approached them. 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
“What’s the problem here?” The strongest one asked, feeling that he should not underestimate the old man wearing the Formation Masters Association’s cloak.
Spiritual professionals were not skilled warriors, but their physical characteristics were still commensurate with their levels. So Philip’s strength could not compare with those ordinary guards!
Philip then said he was searching for Lothur and heard from other guards there, “Sir, calm down. The only Lothur we know of left this morning and has not yet returned. So you will have to wait…”
“Oh? All right.” He let go of the previous guard’s neck as he prepared to wait.
