Chapter 533 Cars? 4



Soon, all of Peters City would be talking about the 11 cars created by Lothur due to the few minutes of walking by the people who left the Ritter Motor Company factory late this afternoon.

People like Elisabeth, the matriarch Teusen and the young master Christen had not strolled much in the city center, where Luis, August, and Gomeric went. But the actions of these people around the residential neighborhoods of Peters City would also do a glorious job of spreading the word for Lothur.

Everyone in town would talk about it for the next few hours, but not everyone would have seen the glorious cars. However, with people cruising around with their cars even in quiet, residential neighborhoods, most people in Peters City would know someone who had actually seen these vehicles.

With the words of reliable people, even those who had not seen the cars at first would believe in the idea of an animal-powered independent vehicle.

And with that, as some people took to the streets searching for one of these vehicles to observe, many others would begin to plan a visit to the Ritter Motor Company store!

...

In front of Lothur\'s house...

In this noble place in Peters City, where most of the people were wealthy individuals, merchants, spiritual professionals, and young noblemen, Lothur had parked his car in front of his house.

He and Viktoria were quite excited and went indoors to have fun, leaving that car for their neighbors to admire.

But while they were playing with each other, Ice was outside their residence, watching that vehicle.

As a spiritual beast, Ice didn\'t understand the human fascination with vehicles like that SUV in front of its house. But upon noticing many people approaching something that belonged to Lothur, it had immediately positioned itself to defend that strange object.

The people approaching Lothur\'s vehicle would be wary of her noticing this powerful beast. Still, her presence there was not at all necessary.

Everyone in the area knew whose house that car was parked in front of. And knowing about the owner of that car, these people wouldn\'t dare cross the line with someone capable of hurting Transcendents.

Rumors spread fast, and everyone in this city knew about that situation in front of the Academy Morning Star a few days ago, and that young Ritter was the creator of these little beauties.

So no one would risk pissing off someone who could develop their cars very soon!

"Amazing!"

"It\'s so beautiful!"

Some rich people in the surrounding area commented as they looked at Lothur\'s car without touching it.

"Lothur owns that car? I saw the academy principal\'s pick-up earlier and thought that car was more compatible with someone with his personality..." A bourgeois, Lothur\'s neighbor, said while ignoring Ice\'s presence.

A young nobleman commented. "I heard that Lothur gave up that car as only one of his had been produced. He gave that car to the partner in the Ritter Motor Company with more fractions of that company after him."

"Oh? You seem to know quite a bit about the Ritter Motor Company business." Someone in the vicinity, interested in buying one of those vehicles, commented.

"But of course. My Uncle August has a car, too, and he told me about it." That fellow said proudly.

"So when will we be able to buy one of those?" Someone in the crowd of rich people asked.

"The day after tomorrow."

...

Meanwhile, at a local restaurant...

"Man, have you seen the cars made by the Ritter Motor Company?"

"Yes, they are amazing! I\'m already counting my coins to get ready to buy one of those." Another person said, standing around a table where several people were sitting, drinking, and eating.

"How much do you guys think one of those will cost?"

"Well, a carriage and two horses cost 80,000 bronze coins, already factoring in the costs of a few years of feeding the horses. So a carriage should cost more than 100,000 bronze coins."

"100,000? That\'s pretty expensive..." Some individuals around that table expressed disappointment, imagining they could not afford enough to buy a car.

...

On the other hand, in a wealthy local family...

A young student from the Morning Star Academy entered her father\'s office with a wide smile on her face, saying aloud. "Father, have you heard the recent news? Lothur has finally surpassed the continent\'s formation masters and created independent animal-strength carriages!"

"What? How can you believe a rumor like that?" The old fellow took his eyes off the documents in his hands, which updated him on some recent relevant facts about the last few months he had been in seclusion.

"Father, how can you doubt my intelligence like that? I didn\'t hear any rumors. I saw with my own eyes several cars driving through the streets of Peters City today!" The level 12 woman said, interested in getting some coins from her old man to buy a car. "The academy principal, the Duke of the Province himself, and several local leaders were riding in cars earlier today!

They said that the Ritter Motor Company store would open in two days... So I want you to take me there to buy some cars!"

"Cars? Ritter Motor Company?" The old man frowned, totally out of touch with the latest facts.

He looked at the papers before him and felt a bit of anger since none of it talked about such grandiose achievements.

Creating a vehicle independent of animal power should be a feat accomplished over time, with many individuals involved. So how had something like this not been noticed by his subordinates?

\'Damn it!

I need to change my organization\'s methods, or I\'ll be left in the dark about the current reality!\' He stood up before saying to his daughter. "Take me to this Ritter Motor Company and this Lothur guy."

"That\'s..."

"Just do as I say, Selena. Don\'t you want one of those cars?" He looked at her strangely, seeing this woman acting as if something was wrong.

"It\'s just that Lothur belongs to the Frost family... They won\'t welcome us."

...

At the same time, at the Baier family headquarters...

Alric\'s father had just heard disturbing news from several of his subordinates from the Ritter Motor Company.

"Did he manage to do that?" He asked his men again, pale at the thought of what that meant.

"Yes, patriarch. Not only that, but from the rumors we\'ve already heard around the city, it seems that he will open his store the day after tomorrow and already have at least a couple of thousand orders...

All the nobles and wealthy people in the city are interested in buying cars for their families."

\'Cars? Is that the name of those things?\' David wondered as he felt the weight of knowing about his enemies getting a business with so much potential.

If there were a thousand carriages, the Ritter Motor Company would already earn at least 600,000 gold coins from those orders alone on opening day.

The 49% Ritter Motor Company had cost Lothur\'s associates about a little over 2.2 million gold coins. In other words, on the first opening day, they could collect more than 13% of the total value that Lothur had placed on his company at the auction of its fractions!

Some investments had been made in the previous weeks for this day to become possible. But those amounts would not even reach half of the value Lothur collected on that auction day.

Hence, still, the Ritter Motor Company store could soon collect more coins than its initial auction value!

Thinking about this, David couldn\'t help but fear for the future of himself and the third prince\'s faction!

"Shit!"
