Mixed Blessing System-Chapter 8 Plans And Fresh Start

After a long night at the Frost family estate, Lothur left his room for a new day, which could be the beginning of his plans in this world.

He had spent the entire night thinking about what he should do with his new life. What the system associated with him was about and how to deal with his situation in his family.

He had inherited the body of his predecessor and even some of the characteristics of that person. However, the individual coming from Earth felt no attachment to his predecessor's wishes, plans, or responsibilities.

He would even fulfill some of these responsibilities and promises since he could not escape them at the moment.

But make no mistake. The breathing Lothur was not of this world. He would never see himself as a person from this place, and he would never fully accept the customs and opinions of this world.

He was of the Earth. He had an irreplaceable family, and he could not accept the identity of that other person.

He could even adapt to the circumstances since he was not a fool incapable of change. However, he had already decided that he would not give a damn about his predecessor's past!

Lothur Ritter of the cultivation world was dead, and he, an earthling, was the one who was alive. That way, his intentions would follow a different path than that person's, and he did not care if his predecessor thought 'A' or 'B' in the past.

Now it was his will in charge, and any remnants of that person's personality were nothing more than symptoms of a disease, in his opinion.

And like a disease, Lothur would do his best to eliminate those symptoms that were nothing more than a hindrance to him.

From now on, for anyone who had problems with him, Lothur would naturally appropriately treat them. As for those who stayed out of his way, he was not interested in seeking trouble with such people.

The past was in the past, and as long as such things did not come to torment him, he was prepared to ignore some people from his predecessor's past.

Besides these personal issues concerning his predecessor, he had put the so-called system as his priority to get stronger and find out more about it.

In fact, he did not trust such a thing.

Despite the clear disadvantages, he felt that it was too good for him.

Why had he been given such a thing? How was he different from the others? What was the purpose of finding the Lost Tree?

He did not know the answer to these questions. Still, he would not simply accept the impositions of the system without investigating and trying to understand them.

Lothur decided to use it as it would do him no good to distrust the system if he died because he was too weak before even completing the system's objective.

But that would not stop him from being careful!

Finally, his situation in that family bothered him. However, since he was at a total disadvantage, for the time being, he had decided to carry on with his role as son-in-law and go to the Morning Star Academy.

At least he could use this opportunity to learn more about the world he was in and get the fundamentals to regain control of his life.

His goal was evident here. He wanted no limitations in this place!

He wanted the freedom to do what he wanted, where he wanted, and with whom he wanted!

With all this in mind, he left his room with a determined look on his face, looking like a completely different person than before.

As he did so, he clenched his fists, feeling a strength incomparable to what he had on Earth, something that was giving him confidence for this fresh start.

'This is the beginning, Lothur.'

'Power...'

'Power is not something that gives you an advantage over others, that makes you beat a single opponent, but rather the quality of controlling one's destiny.'

'That is my ambition!' He convinced himself of this once again, just before he passed the first people on his way out of that estate.

...

Immediately after noticing the presence of people in his surroundings, Lothur removed his determined look from his face, reverting to wearing a regular expression.

And while he heard some insults and unfortunate comments about him, he simply continued his way to the place where the second miss of this family was waiting for him.

"Lothur, what took you so long? I've been waiting for you here for 10 minutes!" That woman who physically resembled Viktoria said this loudly, looking at him from inside a carriage.

Lothur then got into that carriage, large enough to accommodate up to four people comfortably, while two ordinary horses provided the power for this means of transportation.

"Anna, wasn't it only 10 minutes? So what are you complaining about?" He said as he observed the woman dressed in a blue dress that had an opening next to her right leg, which showed that part of her body.

'Fashion in this world is fascinating...' He noted this in silence.

"Tsk!"f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

"And you think I should wait for you? You're the one who should be in this place waiting for me!" She said in an irritated tone.

He then teased her. "Why? It is you who can enjoy my good company..."

"Humph!"

"You think you're too much! Who wants to be in your company?"

"A woman who waits for me for 10 minutes wants to..." He murmured, smiling at that woman. "Maybe I should have married you instead of your sister..."

"What?" Annaliese asked in surprise, with slight redness on her beautiful face. She then said softly. "How can you suggest such a thing? If other people hear you, it will be an embarrassment to the whole family!"

"And my mother would probably kill you..."

He looked at her in silence, noting how she had not immediately rejected him. 'Having an appearance like mine is a huge competitive advantage...'

'Good!'

"Hehe, don't worry about it." He said this in a low voice, looking at her and then at the window of that carriage. "But I believe your sister wouldn't mind that..."

"You mean..."

"Do you think your sister would allow me to find another woman? Do you think she would mind?"

"Of course, she would!

"Who do you think my older sister is? She would never share her husband with other women!"

"Even considering our relationship?" He asked.

"Yes. Even considering your relationship with her."

But Lothur did not think so. "Hehe, Annaliese, do you want to make a bet with me?"

That woman's eyes then sparkled in interest upon hearing that. "About what?"

"Your sister will agree to share me with other women."

"Humph!"

"That will never happen..."

"Then let's make a bet about it." He continued.

"If I'm wrong, I'll do whatever you want for a wholly year. But if I'm right, I want you to help me with something."

"What?" Her eyes sharpened as she remembered the dubious character of the person in front of her.

Lothur looked at her thoughtfully, thinking of his, 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' "I want you to train with me, no questions asked, doing what I tell you, even if it's counterintuitive."

"Train with you? Why would you want to do that?"

"That doesn't matter now. Do you accept the bet? Are you confident in your perception of your sister?" He asked in a provocative tone, looking at her challengingly.

"I accept the bet!"

"Even if my sister has no feelings for you, it would be a humiliation to the family if she agreed to share you with others."

"You won't win this bet!" She said confidently.

"But how will we test your views? Will you simply ask her that?"

He then smiled at her as if playing with an innocent child. "In up to a month, I will make her say the words before you."

"We'll test it then!"

After he said that, Annaliese agreed before that carriage finally stopped in front of the two's destination.

"Second miss, young master, we have arrived at the Morning Star Academy."
