With Lothur's words about his ambitions and plans, everyone in the surrounding area fell silent, wondering what might happen.
They knew they had no alternative but to stay on his side. After all, they had already come a long way as his ally. To stop being so now would make no difference to those who would stand against Lothur if the truth about him became public.
At the same time, they had room to grow quickly alongside him and could do so in relative safety.
For all intents and purposes, Lothur was not in the empire and was only a suspect. If it stayed that way, their journey would be smooth.
And while he would have to hide and live in the dark, they were the ones who could enjoy the many benefits of being at his side, being his partner in the Ritter Motor Company.
These were good advantages and opportunities that no one there could ignore.
'If he is going to leave and stay away, we will be safe to continue our business in the short term...' Larissa thought.
She did not feel that Lothur was a danger to their lives because of his nature. What she did find troubling was his staying in this city, or even empire, something that, as time passed, would increase the chances of attracting the attention of someone challenging to deal with.
Hearing that he would be left searching for Soul Bones, something hard to find in Leopoldine, she was sure he would spend a lot of time away.
'And if he completes his Spirit Body, even if he decides to return and live here, at that time, we won't have many dangers under us.'
ƥandasnovel.com "Hmm, the chances are more favorable than negative." She commented to her fellow family members.
"That's what it looks like..."
"But when will we have our fraction in the Ritter Motor Company made official?" One of them asked Larissa.
They could only benefit from being on Lothur's side if they were receiving their profits along with the other company associates. But the young Ritter had made an agreement with Larissa that she would only actually have her shares in this company when they were going to diminish their position in a new auction.
She looked in Lothur's direction and said. "I will ask him when we can talk privately."
Meanwhile, the people sitting around the other tables in this area were also talking among themselves, seeing the positives of being on Lothur's side.
Everyone there knew that there was no way they could stand against him now. But even without considering the threat of betraying a Saint, they had several reasons to stay connected to him.
Lothur let those people talk among themselves for a while, while Viktoria was already sitting with his other women, all of them watching her anxiously.
They also wanted to reach level 17, but they wanted to sleep with their man much more!
So the four soon agreed among themselves how they would divide up to occupy Lothur's free time in the coming days.
Lothur ignored the conversation of these four and said to the people there, "Anyway, that was the truth about me and some of the goals that I wanted to talk to you about today. But I have something about the Ritter Motor Company to talk about.
I brought a lot of resources from my recent time in the Imperial Prison, but I also know that the car store has been selling more and more.
So I want to expand our operations and create several factories around Peters City.
In addition, I want to open car sales stores in major cities around the empire. Once we have 10 factories up and running, I want to have at least 10 stores in 10 cities up and running."
Upon hearing about the Ritter Motor Company and the expansion of its operations, the people in the area immediately put their previous conversations and thoughts aside.
There was nothing better for them than to talk about the profitable Ritter Motor Company!
"Why don't we open some factories in other provinces?" Patriarch Teusen asked.
Lothur looked at that man and said. "Because my men splitting up between this place and other cities wouldn't be interesting. That would increase the chances of local and outside powers discovering our true situation.
So let's keep all the factories in Linn Province for now. In the future, we will review this."
One of the controllers of the Ritter Motor Company paving business stood up and said. "I suppose we'll have to move into those cities too, right? We must prepare the streets and connect our current roads to these cities."
Currently, all of Peters City was prepared for the movement of Ritter Motor Company vehicles, and fewer and fewer wagons, carriages, and people riding on animals were seen on the streets.
On the other hand, there were already more than 150 kilometers of paved roads outside this city. The construction of these roads that would connect the province's major cities continued to advance daily.
The paving company group was not yet making a profit. Still, they were slowly approaching the day when they could collect coins from the motorists who needed to use these roads.
As such, as vehicle production increased, more coins were being allocated to this group, and the man behind it was already interested in expanding their operations outside the province.
Lothur agreed and said. "Yes, but not only the paving company must start its projects in the cities where we will open stores. The driver's school, the transportation company, and all our groups should do the same.
Start preparing for this. Send people to the main cities of the empire. Before I leave, I want you guys to have agreements to start your operations in at least five cities."
Everyone in the surrounding area agreed to this, looking forward to the development of the Ritter Motor Company.
Talking about this subject, many even forgot that a half-breed was leading them, and soon the conversations in the surroundings became more optimistic, with them talking about the expansion of their company.
Lothur came down from the stage in this area and began to talk individually with his allies while the people there ate and drank.
In this way, the critical meeting they had come to earlier quickly turned into a party celebrating the expansion of the Ritter Motor Company.
But as Lothur chatted with his allies bit by bit, Larissa finally got her chance and asked. "When will you be holding a new Ritter Motor Company auction? I am looking forward to my shares being entirely my own."
Hearing that, Lothur looked at her and thought for a moment.
