Chapter 785 The Growth of the City?

The next day…

After deciding to leave the Three Great Lakes Region and end his vacation, Lothur gathered his women and traveled to Peters City, arriving there a few minutes ago.

Upon arrival, the three immediately saw Peters City from a different perspective.

Previously, they had been too busy to observe this city carefully and see specific details.

But this time, they were carefree enough to see this place and notice the small local changes that had already transformed this city.

Besides the obvious increase in the number of local experts in the city due to Lothur’s help, the place seemed to be flourishing.

The city’s population of 500,000 had been growing steadily since the Ritter Motor Company began operations.

Walking through the city, one could see construction in almost every neighborhood, and many facilities were being renovated to accommodate not only the vehicles that already filled the streets but also the increased number of residents.

Peters City currently had 640,000 inhabitants, while there were more than 7,000 vehicles in circulation, including cars, minibusses, trucks, and other larger vehicles.

The Linn Province currently has more than 13,000 vehicles throughout its territory, allowing anyone to send audio messages anywhere in the province with few resources.

Meanwhile, another 5,000 vehicles had already been delivered to the rulers of other provinces within Leopoldine, especially the first two Ritter Motor Company factories.

More than six Ritter Motor Company factories were in constant operation in the province, which could easily be seen in the city of Lothur and his family. There were already more than 40,000 people working directly or indirectly for the company, enough for one to notice the company’s growth in recent weeks.

Wherever you went in this town, you could see people wearing the uniform of one of the company’s factories, the driving school, the tollbooth, the provincial or municipal transportation company, the paving or signaling company, etc.

Several companies were involved in the creation of Lothur, which made this city a kind of general headquarters for the young Ritter’s company.

Noticing this for the first time, he and his family couldn’t help but sigh at how far they had come in such a short time.

In a matter of months, they had gone from juniors at Morning Star Academy to “owners” of the city and province.

But when they arrived near their residence, Viktoria and Annaliese immediately noticed their mother and put aside their city.

Lothur said to them. “You should go and talk to her and spend some time with her. We leave tomorrow night, and I don’t know how long we’ll be gone… Take the opportunity to say goodbye. In the meantime, Becca, Elke, and I will take care of some things concerning our company.”

Annaliese and Viktoria agreed and soon separated from the rest of the group.

Rebecca looked at Lothur and asked. “What are we going to do?”

This woman was no longer wanted in this state, so she could show herself in public again since the imperial family had published the news of her release weeks ago.

From the point of view of everyone in the state, she hadn’t escaped from the imperial prison, but had been released because the charges against her had been dropped.

Finally, Lothur looked at the green-haired beauty and said. “Let’s stop at the headquarters of the Ritter Motor Company first. I’ve already told my men that all the partners should be in the company today, so they should be expecting me by now.”

With that, they set off for the company’s headquarters, the most beautiful building in the city’s center.

…

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Ritter Motor Company…

On the top floor of this mirrored building, a large meeting room with an oval table and several luxurious chairs stood in the center of the area. At the same time, pictures of vehicles and other company products were on the room’s walls.

But the place, usually empty and little used, was currently full of people, with representatives from all of Lothur’s partners present. 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

A total of 42 people were present, half standing, the other half sitting, waiting for the person who had called this meeting to arrive while they chatted among themselves.

Half of them were from the province powers talking to each other, while the other half were either from other Leopoldine provinces or from other states. They talked to each other, looking strangely at the people from Linn Province every few moments, for they had suddenly increased their forces in the last few days.

Representatives of the Becker, Koch, and Frost families, and even the Morning Star Academy, had leaped from the end of the 2nd stage or the beginning of the 3rd stage to the beginning of the 4th stage in their cultivation!

But as ridiculous as these advances were, only a few publicly known people in Peter City had received Lothur’s help. Most of the people who received his help were the men of the Ritter family, who didn’t like to be seen in public.

Aside from these individuals, less than sixty people from these four local powers had actually received support from Lothur, aside from the powers he had enslaved, such as the imperial family.

In addition, he had helped strengthen the Jansen family, but that family had been very strong before, and few knew how much it had improved recently.

In any case, the situation of these people was strange to most of them, and they couldn’t help but comment on it among themselves.

“How did they do it?”

“They owe us an answer. We’re allies. We need to know how they were able to improve so much and still end the war that was about to take place.”

“Yes, it was all bizarre. One day, we were preparing for war and the possible defeat of our forces, and then, within weeks, some of our partners became much stronger, and war was no longer an issue.”

The people of this second faction commented to each other in low, dark voices about much of what had happened recently.

Even though they were involved in the war, most of these powers, who were neither Lothur’s subordinates nor close to the Jansen family, knew very little about what had actually happened in recent weeks.

They knew that the enemies had lost important forces and were less bold and that there was a high probability that the war was already over. But the details of how this had happened were something few knew.

Amid these muttered comments, the other group was talking about other things, but they all had smiles on their faces because the winds were blowing in their company’s favor.

“We currently have more than 500,000 orders to deliver…” Gomeric told the Duke of the Province, sensing that the company’s profits would soon be passed on to its partners.

Thinking about the amount of coins that would be generated and the ever-increasing number of vehicles produced each day, Chris smiled at Gomeric and looked forward to the future.

“As our operations mature, it will only be a matter of time before our families receive new advancements…”

As he said this, everyone in the room stopped talking as they saw the wall on one side of the room distorted, and three people appeared there.
