Chapter 144 Business Opportunity



Upon hearing that Hilda had fallen into his \'trap,\' Lothur smiled and explained to her. "I didn\'t buy it, madam. I made it myself."

"Oh? You made it?" Husband and wife asked simultaneously.

Seeing her parents\' reaction, Elke felt proud of Lothur and told them about her lover\'s situation. "Mom, dad, Lothur is also studying the tailoring profession!"

\'Makes sense...\' Gomeric thought about it, feeling that he and his wife were not wrong about Lothur...

But then they heard that young man\'s voice shocking them. "I have not yet taken the test to earn my badge. But I can already be considered a 1-star tailor and poison master."

"What?" The two ask in surprise.

Hilda then rose from her seat and looked at Lothur. "Are you telling me that you are simultaneously pursuing three professions?"

"Yes, madam. I don\'t intend to delve into any of them, but it is beneficial to my projects that I can understand the basics of several professions." He hid no such thing from these people.

Lothur wanted to make a good impression on Elke\'s parents since he would surely take this woman away one day. But that was not the main point now. The most important thing was getting an investor for his business.

He already had plans to follow Annaliese\'s recommendation and see the local coroner Klossner. But would not it be better to have more than one investor?

After all, if he only had one, he might find himself in a situation of being too dependent on just one person or organization. But for someone with basic investment knowledge, Lothur knew that diversification was critical.

In this case, he could not help but try to bring Elke\'s parents and the Becker family over to his side.

Hell, he would have to be a fool not to try to take advantage of this opportunity just given the future possibility of business with Klossner!

In that case, he did not hide many things since being honest about some points when doing business was crucial.

Obviously, he would never talk about the most important secrets of his projects or some of his ideas.

But for Lothur, it was imperative that his potential partners knew what he could and could not do. That served not to raise expectations beyond his limits and to ensure that he would not have to deal with goals to which he had not committed himself.

He, Lothur, would only say he would do something when he was determining and sure of his possibilities. Otherwise, he would never promise anything and obviously would not bother with any expectations he did not commit to.

That\'s why he was so open with these people!

"So, that\'s it..." Gomeric seriously looked at his wife.

Having more than one profession would be a problem at later levels of mastery. But considering that Lothur was only a mortal who could not go far in these activities, they saw that such a young man was not making a mistake in taking this approach.

\'He understands his limits, so he doesn\'t have high expectations with his professions...\' Gomeric pondered, almost as if he was having a mental conversation with his wife.

\'Besides, he knows how to use his abilities and weakness to get the best out of himself.\' She looked at Gomeric and then at Lothur, impressed.

Hilda then closed her eyes and tried to understand Lothur better. \'Despite being a mortal, he seems to have some skills on peak... Sigh! It\'s a shame he can\'t cultivate.\'

The difference between mortals and cultivators was one\'s ability to alter mental and physical characteristics. But being a mortal would not mean that, for example, such a person\'s perception would necessarily be less than that of a cultivator!

Obviously, since cultivators could alter their characteristics, they were generally more talented than mortals in every possible way.

But in the first stage, finding mortals with better characteristics than certain cultivators was not impossible!

Some could be born with robust bodies, others with hand skills beyond the ordinary. Even a person\'s senses could be sharper than a cultivator several levels above him!

Because of this, mortals could learn spiritual professions and become 1-star professionals. For this reason alone, Elke\'s parents had not found Lothur\'s abilities so strange.

But being only a mortal, Lothur could not develop these abilities of his, the reason for Hilda\'s lamentation.

After a while, with her parents watching each other in silence, Elke saw her father seriously looking at Lothur.

"Young Lothur, this vehicle project of yours is promising. But we would like to see it when you have the miniature ready to give us a demonstration. Then, if what you said comes true, and this is feasible, we can do business and bring our family closer to yours."

"Oh?" Lothur smiled upon hearing that.

Elke\'s father continued. "However, I am interested in this glove of yours. It seems to have its uses, so I would like to do some testing with it... Would you mind lending it to me? If my ideas are confirmed, we can do business."

Elke smiled upon hearing her father\'s words and hugged Lothur\'s left arm, happy about that.

Lothur then said. "If it were up to me alone, patriarch, I would leave this glove here and now. But I have an agreement with the tailor shop supporting my studies. So, I have to seek their opinion first."

"Oh? What tailoring shop is that?" Hilda stepped forward.

Lothur answered. "It\'s a high-end tailor shop downtown. I think the name of that store is Patchwork House."

"Patchwork House?" Hilda looked at her husband. "The Christen family supports that store."

"Hmm, yes..."

The Christen family was not a noble house but an ascendant bourgeoisie of Linn Province. They were involved in a dozen businesses, including the market for unique clothing production.

Gomeric thought for a while and said. "This family is quite difficult to negotiate. So, we\'ll leave it to you to talk to them, young Lothur. Maybe we\'ll get better results if they don\'t know we\'re interested in this."

"All right, that\'s fine with me..." Lothur nodded.

After that, they ate their dessert while talking about little things in Lothur and Elke\'s daily life, getting to know a little about this young man and his routine at the academy.

In this conversation, Hilda and Gomeric did not suspect what was happening with their daughter and the silver-haired young man. That was because of the misunderstanding they had made and because Lothur had been careful with his words and actions due to the uncertainty in his heart about Elke\'s parents.

,m When they were almost finished with dinner, Lothur mentioned the mission that he and Elke would be doing together. "Madam, patriarch, Elke, and I have picked up a group mission at the academy and intend to leave tonight. Is there a problem?"

"Group Mission? Tonight?" Hilda was surprised since her daughter had not mentioned this to them.

Lothur explained, lying, "Elke and I intend to change sectors together. So, we need to do this mission to complete some requirements..."

"You are already going to change sectors?" Gomeric was surprised by this information. "Haven\'t you only been at the academy for a few weeks?"

Elke proudly laughed and said. "I told you, Lothur is very talented, and these vicious rumors do not do justice to his figure!"

Hilda looked at Lothur, but considering everything she had found out about this young man at this dinner, she did not find it so strange. \'Although he is a mortal, he has many qualities and has an excellent mentality. Hmm, it\'s not strange that he is diligent in his studies!\'

\'Sigh... But it\'s truly a great injustice. If he could cultivate, he would be a little monster.\' She thought.

"What\'s that mission like?" Gomeric asked.

"We\'re going out to investigate a strange phenomenon in Lewerenz," Elke said.

"Lewerenz?" He frowned as he pondered the fact, finding it hard to accept the situation since his precious daughter had never left Peters City alone.

Hilda understood her husband\'s doubts, but she was not against it. "Honey, let\'s allow them to get on with their plans. I feel this is a good opportunity for Elke to mature a little."

Hearing that, while watching Elke pouting at her mother, Lothur could not help but agree. \'This will indeed be an opportunity to mature...\' He internally laughed.

He then said. \'Don\'t worry, patriarch. If anything happens, I will protect Elke with my life! As long as I\'m standing, nothing will happen to her!"

Seeing the determination in Lothur\'s eyes, Gomeric felt a little better, even though he knew that Elke was probably the one who would protect this fellow. "Well, I will send you in a carriage of our own. That way, you won\'t have any trouble on the road."

"Hehe, that\'s better." Elke smiled as she looked at Lothur and then took one of his hands.

"Mom, dad, I\'m going to show Lothur the house now. When you have finished your arrangements, send a servant to let us know." She pulled Lothur toward her room, hardly giving her parents a chance to question her.

\'That girl...\' Gomeric laughed, sensing that his daughter was still a little girl trying to impress the first friend she took to her home.

And so, quickly, Lothur and Elke arrived in her room...
