Mixed Blessing System



"Are you saying that for you, all this is okay? That bastard took away the purity of our two daughters! He even got that fool pregnant!" Mabel said in an irritated tone as Lothur turned away from her using his new ability.

He activated his gravitational control and pushed her body away from him. At the same time, he took advantage of Mabel's momentary distraction to grab the Elemental Staff from its spatial ring.

Mabel saw all this and made an even uglier expression than before, seeing that Lothur was challenging her.

"Honey, let's talk the matter over. Lothur is the leader of the Ritter Motor Company and the hope of the family. We can't just throw it all away because of that! It would be like giving up everything without good enough reasons!" Aiken shouted, taking the rational side of this matter.

Lothur then said, angry as well. "If you keep attacking me, I will strike back from now on!"

For Lothur, it would be good for him to take a beating from Mabel and improve all his physical characteristics. But his pride would prevent him from simply accepting to be beaten again by this woman.

Instead, he would stop Mabel and even threaten her with his skills and equipment rather than keep quiet and accept the beating he deserved.

Aiken knew Lothur was much stronger than ordinary people using his weapons and skills, so naturally, he didn't want his son-in-law to fight with his wife. "Mabel, stop it immediately! Are you trying to disgrace the image of the entire Frost family? Let's settle this inside the house!" He shouted.

Mabel continued to use her strength to counter gravity, trying to push her further away than she already had, pressing her teeth against each other, filled with hatred.

More than a dozen people were already on the outskirts of Lothur's house watching this, including Ice, who was enjoying the movements of those two.

This beast knew that human Transcendents were much stronger than beasts at this stage, so the mere fact that Lothur had beaten such beings in the Three Great Lakes Region did not guarantee his victory here.

Ice wanted to see young Ritter's current abilities and how exciting a fight against that Transcendent would be.

Unfortunately, Aiken was in the way of this white creature's interests, following everything from the backyard of Lothur's house.

'Tsk! Those humans are too peaceful.' It thought to herself, putting its head down to go back to sleep as it realized Mabel was lessening her fighting intent.

Lothur's neighbors also sighed in disappointment, including some observers from this place, members of enemy forces who kept some surveillance 'away' from him.

They all wanted to see a fight happen, and those who hated him wanted Mabel and Lothur to kill each other.

But for them, the voice of reason spoke louder, ending this conflict before it became destructive.

Mabel, Lothur, and Aiken returned to that estate. At the same time, Annaliese, Viktoria, and Doctor Snee were still in the same room as before, worried.

As they entered that estate, Mabel began discussing the matter aloud. "You bastard, what do you intend to do to make up for the humiliation of our family? Now that the damage is done, my daughter will have her reputation ruined, and no one else will want to marry her!"

"Why would Annaliese marry someone else? Of course, she will become my wife!" Lothur said, instigating that woman's hatred.

"You wretch... That's all you wanted, right? You want to ruin our family's reputation, bring us to our knees and be our 'savior', while we lose the entire history of our home!" Mabel shouted furiously, seeing Lothur's 'plots.'

"You really do have a poisonous tongue, viper!" Lothur snarled.

He didn't like Mabel at all, and hearing these unfounded accusations against him, he couldn't help but get angry.

Lothur had left the family because of this woman and wanted no relations with them. He was only helping the Frost family because of Viktoria and Annaliese since he himself didn't care about the downfall of that house.

"Bastard! It looks like you've learned how to respond after a few months out of the family, huh? Do you think you're big enough to challenge me now?" She walked toward him, wanting to slap Lothur in the face.

Aiken intervened once again and said. "Mabel, let's try to discuss the matter here, shall we? Lothur did what he did and is willing to take responsibility. That's good."

He then looked at Lothur. "But you acted behind our backs and did things you shouldn't have with your own sister-in-law... That needs to be repaired!"

Annaliese and Viktoria were already in the room where the three were discussing. At the same time, Doctor Snee listened to everything from the side, feeling great tension just by being there.

"Annaliese is a grown woman, father-in-law. She can make her own decisions, and nothing can be commented on about that." Lothur didn't like what he was hearing, as if he had to pay for something for simply being with his sister-in-law. "Viktoria is the only one who has to like or dislike something here, but she has already accepted everything. So we have nothing to talk about in this regard."

"What are you saying? Aren't you going to compensate the family for this great shame, Lothur? You are letting me down like this!

You know that all the family has at the moment is a name. Yet you throw it in the mud and don't intend to do anything to make amends for it?" Aiken said as his wife watched her son-in-law hatefully.

"It is no shame to the family that the two sisters share the same man. On the contrary, it is a great honor!" Lothur said seriously. "I am not someone who has no right to do that. And if anyone says anything, let's cut off whatever heads need to be cut off.

I don't owe anyone in this city anything.

And if anyone dares to spread rumors against my family, only the end awaits them!" Lothur shouted loud enough for his neighbors to hear him.

"What do you intend to do to compensate for this situation?" Mabel insisted.

"I am going to marry Annaliese and bring her into my home. That's all I have to do." He replied, not wanting to give these people anything, as his wife was not an object he needed to pay to take ownership...

"You bastard!" Mabel shouted, but this time she didn't try to attack him. She just looked at him hatefully, showing in her gaze that all her comments about him were right.

She might have been wrong about Lothur's talent, but his personality was just as dirty as she thought!

Aiken didn't like this at all, but considering the current situation at the Ritter Motor Company, he put the matter aside after some effort.

With that settled, the two departed that estate after some time, leaving Annaliese and Viktoria with Lothur.

As for Doctor Snee, this man left after hearing from Lothur that he would take care of Annaliese's situation.

That way, Lothur finally had a chance to sigh and reunite with those two women to tell them about his improvements after absorbing his new Soul Bone.
