Meanwhile, outside the Frost estate, Gomeric and Hilda arrived at that place, ready to finally get revenge on their enemy.
"Michel, where is..." Hilda was about to ask the group leader watching Magnus when she noticed the group sent by her husband was standing in front of the Frost estate. "What are you doing in this place? Where is the enemy?"
Gomeric frowned as he noticed the Trapka family members, each with pale expressions on their faces. "It can't be..." He looked at the wall in front of him and realized something was happening inside that property.
Michel then replied. "Madam, the enemy has invaded the Frost family while we were chasing him!"
"What?" Hilda's mouth dropped open in shock, not believing that someone would do something so crazy.
So many families were against the Frost family. But still, none of them tried to act openly or separately. Instead, they acted together, with political actions that weakened this organization and decreased their chances of having an aggressive reaction.
Why was this so? Because there were few Transcendents in the province!
Many would die in a major battle if they carelessly crossed the line!
So to hear that someone had carelessly trespassed on that estate was rather absurd. Not only because of the invasion but because Magnus acted openly, without hiding his movements.
The noises coming from that place were obvious. A battle was happening in that place!
But while these two were hearing from their subordinates what had happened during the minutes of chasing and waiting in that place, the noise of fighting on the Frost estate began to approach them.
"Are they coming here?" One of the Trapka elders wondered aloud. "Is Magnus trying to escape? Did he get his way in this place?"
But before anyone could say anything else, they all saw when the wall in front of them collapsed, and a body bloody from head to toe fell a few meters from where they stood.
"Magnus?" The Trapka patriarch shouted in surprise, seeing the sad situation of that man who had trespassed on the Frost family estate.
Mabel had slapped Magnus earlier, which had thrown him in that direction. But, at the same time, this man had already suffered enough from the blows of the guards of that estate and was, therefore, badly bruised when she acted.
Because of this, such a man was in a sorry state when he went over part of the wall there and fell between the Trapka and Becker groups.
The people outside that estate took steps backward while dozens of Frost guards approached the dying man, fallen on that side street.
"What are you people doing here?" One of the guards asked as he noticed those people who should not be in that place in the middle of the night. "Is this a joint action against us?"
At the same time that the people in those two groups were swallowing their saliva, Mabel and Aiken appeared in that place, both with severe expressions on their faces.
Patriarch Becker then was the first to speak up. "Patriarch Frost, madam, we have no relation to this invasion. Our group was pursuing this man because he was an enemy who tried to act against my daughter. But we stopped our pursuit when we realized what he intended to do."
"Oh?" Aiken looked in Gomeric's direction and remembered that information about the Becker family acting against House Tropka at the Province Conference today had reached him.
He had already seen the Trapka family group across the street, so it was not hard for him or the other people of his family to associate Magnus with that organization.
Mabel then looked at the Trapka patriarch, someone at level 14, making that man tremble.
"Please, patriarch, madam, don't think this is our doing! This man committed a crime, and we were watching him when he decided to run away." He said, sweating in nervousness. "After that, we did the same thing as the Becker family. Trying to chase him down and stop his escape. But who knew he would be able to invade your estate?"
"We are really sorry, but it's not our fault. Magnus betrayed the family and was about to be exiled..." An elder standing next to the Trapka patriarch said this, abandoning that person for good.
Mabel's eyes narrowed, knowing that these people would try to escape the guilt by all means. But before deciding what to do with them, she asked. "Why would he trespass on my estate?"
Hilda then stepped forward and explained. "Mrs. Frost, I can't say with 100% certainty, but I believe this is on Lothur's account."
"That man is behind a person who attacked my daughter and Lothur weeks ago. After that, he tried to approach this young man but was tricked. Then the young master of your family discovered the origin of this man and informed us about it, bringing us to Magnus."
Gomeric nodded and said. "In desperation, he must have thought of taking revenge on Lothur..."
"Lothur?" Aiken was surprised as Mabel clenched her fists, noting that this fellow would bring trouble to her, even when he had finally made himself useful.
But then she said. "Well, it doesn't matter what you from House Trapka say. One of your people attacked us, so how will you take responsibility for that? I'm not going to let you leave here the way you want to."
Gulp!
The Trapka patriarch heard the worst and lamented what had happened. "What can we do to reassure the madam?"
Mabel said. "You will sign Blood Contracts guaranteeing that your family will not act against House Frost in the future."
That was not a good thing for them since they had relations with enemy powers of that family. But such a thing was better than them dying in that place!
So as they looked at each other, they were quick to agree on that.
As for the Becker family group, Gomeric approached Aiken and tried to negotiate with this individual. "Patriarch Frost, this man is responsible for an assassination attempt against my daughter... What do you want to let my family take care of his fate?"
Aiken looked at his wife and felt that this was their opportunity to get something out of this situation.
The Frost family was more prosperous than House Becker. Still, given its precarious situation, it could get good things for its future by negotiating with this other family.
And since they had no need to kill Magnus on their own, negotiating with Gomeric was not bad!

"Well, we can go in and talk about it..." Aiken looked at Magnus' body, which was still moving and making sounds of pain, before directing Hilda and Elke's father inside that residence.
The rest of the people there started to take care of that fallen wall after the Trapka family members left after signing contracts with Mabel.
Thus, the Frost family got one less enemy that night and an organization to rescue them in case of need in the future!
Meanwhile, Lothur and Viktoria were enjoying themselves in their hotel room, unaware of all this.
