Chapter 686 Time To Grow Up



'Is it really? Am I a bad omen?' Lothur asked himself soon after meeting the emperor's group, hearing that man's last lines about the dark times approaching them.

Lothur was no fool. Considering how he had come into this world and what he had seen so far, he knew that something terrible would happen in the future.

But upon hearing his grandfather's speech, he immediately put himself in the place of the valuable resource that would appear in a place before a catastrophe.

The world had its rules, that which brought all things to stability.

Valuable resources existed, and people could get stronger quickly without it being a sign of the end times. However, it was not just anyhow and anywhere that this could happen.

The Peters City area, for example, was where usually only the most capable, of the most talented, had a chance of making it to the 3rd stage. That was the limit of the area.

So the level of resources that came up there was associated with that, and a person from the area could quickly get close to that limit without causing strangeness. However, anything higher than that was a bit strange.

Viktoria had hardly left the province, but in a matter of months, her cultivation had jumped from the beginning of the 2nd stage to the end of the 3rd.

This was an unjustifiable increase in cultivation by the standards of even the empire!

Even the Jansen family, the most powerful in the entire state, had no way to help its most talented members advance so fast.

So the emperor's concern affected not only his men but Lothur himself.

He clenched his hands and pressed his lips together, feeling the urgency to get stronger and complete his goals.

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?.

'If the family of that soul fragment no longer exists, my women could easily reach the 4th stage by absorbing these Soul Bones...' He thought as he looked at the ring where those bones were.

'With their support, I can act more freely and worry less. The same will be true for the Ritter Motor Company...' Lothur narrowed his eyes, eager to take the Blood Crystal and leave towards the north of the continent as soon as possible.

At that moment, the emperor rose from his seat and said. "Let's keep going! We must find Daemon as soon as possible and stop him from bringing chaos to the state!

Dark times are approaching, so let's keep as much trouble away as we can!"

The men in the emperor's vicinity agreed, quickly rising to depart from that temporary resting place.

Lothur would soon follow them, turning his attention to finding the tracks of Daemon's group.

...

As Lothur moved through the shadows of Emperor Leopoldine's group, three more days passed.

Traveling with a certain destination was fast, so much so that Lothur had reached the Emperor's group in less than three days. But getting to something one doesn't know where it is was complicated, so they were still searching for Daemon's group.

In the midst of this, most of the powers associated with the Ritter Motor Company had already made their deposits regarding the mandatory investment of the partners.

The new partners who joined the company through the last auction were the first to pay. They were the most resourceful and had paid their pledges even before Lothur left Peters City.I think you should take a look at

Viktoria and her harem sisters had sold the items left by Lothur and helped the Frost and Koch families complete their investments in recent days.

Then, following the formation of several partnerships between Lothur's former partners with powers that had not placed themselves in the company at the last auction, several of Peters City's powers deposited the amounts needed to honor their positions.

With that, by the eve of the end of the period these groups had to gather their coins; the Ritter Motor Company had almost 200 million gold coins available for Viktoria and her people to allocate!

She and her harem sisters were determined to make the Ritter Motor Company dominate the empire, so their group's heavy investments were already being made!

...

In one of the six provinces where the Ritter Motor Company would soon be expanding its operations, over 500 people were walking through the local streets with many posters in hand in the province's largest city.

While some were placing posters under the doors of many of the ordinary residences in that city, others were distributing them on the city's main streets while announcing what they had in hand.

"Job opportunity! I said, job opportunity!" A man standing in a central square of this city shouted, smiling. "We are hiring mortals! No joke, we're hiring ordinary people!"

As he shouted, two other people were handing out flyers to citizens passing by, many looking at them strangely.

This was not a common practice in the empire. But precisely because of this, everyone who passed near such people would look in their direction, and many would accept their pamphlets.

A middle-aged man received such a thing and opened the hiring poster, reading what was there.

'Job opportunity!

Come to South Square on the 14th at noon. The Ritter Motor Company will hire up to 10,000 people!!!

Don't miss the opportunity to earn up to 1,000 bronze coins monthly!'

That man's eyes widened as he read a thousand bronze coins, more than two times what a normal mortal could earn from their jobs in this city.

As someone who didn't have much time before his old age came and he would soon stop working, he immediately identified an opportunity that could change his future!

'Is this really true? If it is, I will join it immediately!' He rushed home to warn his children and relatives that everyone should take advantage of this opportunity.

While this was going on in the main cities of the provinces where the Ritter Motor Company would expand its operations, in places like the Cultivation House, that continental institution present in the empire, other types of announcements from this company were already on hand.

The Ritter Motor Company needed many mortals to work on building roads, factories, and buildings that didn't require the involvement of cultivators. But it also needed spiritual professionals to join in the production of vehicles.

So in the buildings of the Cultivation House around the empire, thousands of posters for hiring spiritual professionals were already pasted next to the main missions of this institution in Leopoldine.

With the resources available, Viktoria, Elke, Annaliese, and Rebecca were already hiring throughout the empire!
