Chapter 290 Tailoring Competition

"This will be for the sake of our families and our interests..." Amelie seriously said, trying not to sound like a person who casually planned the death of others.

She was sorry for Oliver but did not pity an enemy who stood in her way. Besides, it was not as if the Dohmen family was kind and generous to everyone.

That was a noble house, which like all organizations of its kind, had its history marked by the blood of rivals and even innocents.

That was a cruel world that even the murder of babies was ordered, so it would not be her, with years of experience, who would give up this opportunity just for the sake of one person!

At the same time, the fact that the enemy side was already planning the end of Lothur made it easier for her family. So, she talked about it without feeling guilty or worried about the image Lothur and Annaliese might have of her after this moment.

Lothur then said. "All right, if I get the chance, I will eliminate this person named Oliver Dohmen."

"What?" Annaliese looked at him in surprise. "You're just going to do it like that? Without blinking?"

"Several of my opponents in this Province Conference have already demonstrated their desire to kill me. So there is no reason to doubt that such a family will try the same." He thoughtfully said. "Besides, we are in no position to negotiate with the enemy. Thus, eliminating him is the only option left to us."

The opposing side could plan to act against him, but he could also do that. Besides, with the precarious situation of the Frost family, no one would give them the slightest chance to talk. Then why be kind to those who wanted their demise?

Lothur thought it made no sense to act in such a way and felt that following Amelie's plans would bring the best results for him.

If a person would die from it, he did not give a damn!

Anyone who entered the political and power game had to accept those and other risks!

Amelie and Lina were pleased to hear Lothur's wise words, more confident that such a young man was the real deal and not just a junior who needed to be schooled in those problematic aspects of life.

"Very well, when we achieve our goals, I assure you, we will be very generous in our dealings, Lothur," Amelie commented as she touched one of his shoulders with one of her hands.

"Just be careful when you are going to act against Oliver. He is very talented." Lina warned him.

"Hmm, I will be careful."

Soon after that exchange of words, Lothur and Annaliese walked away from those two while this woman accepted the situation in her mind.

She was unlike Viktoria, who had much more access to the family's problems and had dealt many more times with situations of premeditatedly eliminating an enemy. So this youngest daughter of the Frost patriarch was not so cold towards matters like this.

'The most important thing is that Lothur gets well. If the other side thinks of acting like this against him, they deserve it!' She pondered as she sat with her brother-in-law in waiting for his match.

And just like that, it did not take long for Lothur to climb the competition platform in that area!

...

After almost 50 minutes in that competition area for tailors, Lothur had once again impressed everyone with his performance, easily beating his opponent in the first round.

Because of this, the Frost family gained one more point, while Lothur's enemies no longer doubted anything about him.

Even Kai had already left that area, as he no longer had the patience just to watch all his work being hindered by Lothur.

But he had left some of his subordinates to watch this tailoring competition's decisive match, which would happen between Lothur and Oliver Dohmen.

So, time passed, and soon the two young tailors stepped onto the combat platform, prepared to face each other in this test.

In this test, they would have to fight each other using only their products as combat items, with no technique or other items. Only things they produced during the first 15 minutes of the test, the time given before the combat took place, could play a relevant role in their battle.

Tailors could produce special garments that could even give mortals abilities, such as the special glove created by Lothur earlier. In this way, a test for this type of professional usually served to show that with the right clothes, mortal fights would be just as dangerous as those of cultivators.

For this, obviously, the techniques and artifacts relating to other professions could not be used, as they would take away from the purpose of this examination.

After climbing onto that combat platform that had a formation that would block their cultivations after the initial 15 minutes, they greeted each other and received the match referee's permission to begin.

The two then ran to different sides of the competition platform, quickly choosing their materials and starting to produce their combat items.

'I don't know you, but the family has ordered me to kill you if that is possible. Then I will demonstrate all my skills to you before I end your life...' Oliver thought to himself as he tried his hardest to create his things.

At the same time, Lothur saw Oliver's status once again as he used his visual ability to analyze what his opponent was doing.

[Name: Oliver Dohmen]

[Cultivation: level 9]

[STR: 39.9] [CON: 42] [DEX: 39.1] [AGI: 40.4]

Lothur then changed his glove design, preparing something unique to finish off his opponent.

'If I combine that force with two gloves working in opposition...' He imagined as he worked his materials to the best of his abilities to produce clothes that would kill.

Lothur also had in mind to produce a combat suit, something necessary since he could not use previously made items, even if they were from tailors.

There was no way to guarantee that he had not bought his clothes instead of producing them. Thus, he would have to wear something made during the test!

With that, both Lothur and Oliver focused on producing their killing clothes during the 15 minutes they had, while hundreds of people followed them in anticipation.

That was particularly true for Lina and Amelie, who expected to see Oliver's downfall, and, of course, the Dohmen family elders in the surrounding area.

If Oliver could bring down Lothur, his family would be guaranteed several points in this tailoring competition and help from the Baier family in other competitions.

An allied family could eliminate the leading opponents of one of its allies, something that could invariably raise the standing of organizations other than its own.

That was the hope of this organization, so everyone was nervously watching this fight, feeling that the sand in the hourglass was descending more slowly in these moments.

But when the time finally came, many in the surrounding area swallowed their saliva as they saw the two young men standing up, already with their killing clothes on their bodies.
