Chapter 386: 201

Logan’s voice was calm but carried a strangely lethal force that caused the dozen or so people to involuntarily take a step back. It was an instinctual fear that they had only felt in the face of a Dominator.

The leading man’s eyebrows furrowed, realizing that something was wrong. “Dare I ask, friend, are you truly acquainted with our Family Head? If you are friends, then we have caused offense unwittingly. Please explain the truth.”

“Not exactly acquainted, we just met once.” Logan waved his hand. “My name is Logan. Although I’m not too famous, your Family Head should have definitely mentioned me, and he must have told you not to be my enemy when you see me.”

Upon hearing these words, the dozen or so people gasped in shock. The name Logan had a huge impact on them. Outsiders might not understand the significance, but they knew it all too well. At that time, in the Secret Realm, it was Logan who had plotted to kill the Grand Elder.

When their Family Head returned, he was furious, but in the end, he repeatedly warned them not to be Logan’s enemy. Although Logan’s realm was not very high, his cunning was too strong. In just one day, he turned two families against each other and ultimately made the Grand Elder a sacrificial pawn.

If they offended Logan, it would be difficult to ensure that the First Family wouldn’t meet the same fate as the Grand Elder, being manipulated into disaster. Maybe the current Lord was looking for a chance to wipe out their entire family – they had to proceed cautiously and not make any mistakes.

The leading man hurriedly bowed his hand and respectfully said, “Brother Logan, we have been truly disrespectful just now. Since you think that this person is not involved, we will give you face and not pursue him any further.”

“It’s not about giving me face, but respecting the truth. This person is not a disciple of the Grand Elder, so why must you insist on framing him? Wrongly killing tens of thousands is absolutely unacceptable.”

With a serious expression, Logan continued, “You guys think that as long as you exterminate the remaining forces of the Grand Elder, your family can rest easy in the future. But this is leading your family down a path of no return. I have to say that Gali Mo is too foolish. Does your family really have no strategists?”

“Please enlighten us,” the leading man said, not understanding. He also believed that their Family Head’s command hadn’t been wrong. They couldn’t just let the remaining forces of the Grand Elder go unchecked, as it would certainly cause major problems in the future.

Logan shook his head. It seemed that he had to teach them a lesson today, so they would understand the art of weighing their options. They couldn’t wipe out all the Grand Elder’s disciples even if they continued to kill them.

“The Grand Elder has nurtured his students deep within the Territory for many years. His disciples number close to a million, if not over a million. Moreover, his disciples have their own disciples, and there are also friends, relatives, and other powerful forces involved with him. At the very least, there are at least a million people involved, and this is a conservative estimate. Realistically, almost half of the people are implicated.”

“By relentlessly killing, you are only arousing fear among the entire Territory, causing the public to turn against your family and grow disgusted. Now people don’t dare speak out against your powerful family, but once something happens in the future, everyone will turn against you because no one wants to live near a bloodthirsty, murderous family.”

“That’s just one aspect of it. Moreover, it has only been ten days to half a month, and I think your family is already stretched thin, both financially and in terms of manpower. If this goes on for another half a year, your so-called First Family will plummet, and I’m afraid you’ll become the target of envy for many second-class families.”

Seeing the shock in the eyes of the dozen or so people, Logan knew he had hit the nail on the head. They had clearly taken his words to heart. He nodded, not really caring about the fate of the First Family, but rather considering Gali Mo’s situation. Once the Territory was engulfed in fear, it would surely attract attacks from surrounding Lords.

The most important thing for a Territory is peace, not a series of internal struggles that consume its entire strength. If Gali Mo continued like this, he might be able to win the people’s hearts for a short time, but once they came to their senses, they would see the Lord as the one fanning the flames behind the scenes.

It was clear to everyone that the Lord appeared to let bygones be bygones on the surface, constantly absorbing the Grand Elder’s talents. However, he had never tried to stop the extermination campaign led by the First Family. When people began to think that they were two sides of the same coin, they might even grow disgusted with the entire Territory.

“What should we do?” the anxious group of people asked. If Logan’s words were true, it would be a catastrophe for the family. Everyone present shivered with fear because they all belonged to the family and shared a common fortune and misfortune.

Logan coughed and replied, “It’s simple. Stop hunting the remaining forces of the Grand Elder and repeatedly declare that the Grand Elder did not die by your hands. All of this is just someone else’s plot. People may not believe it now, but as time passes, who can truly discern the truth from lies?”

“Of course, in secret, you can do whatever you want, but you must not use your own family as an excuse. Instead, use the names of people who have a grudge against the Grand Elder. Doesn’t that solve everything? Just hunt down some disciples, and don’t involve innocent people.”

After providing the solution, Logan repeatedly warned them and explained the consequences of causing panic in people’s hearts. Logan hated the Grand Elder, was not on the same side as his forces, and did not want to involve innocent people, especially those who were not even distantly related.

The dozen or so people nodded, thanked Logan, and then hurriedly returned to report to their Family Head. This matter was too significant to be decided by just the dozen of them.

As for Logan, he approached Ba Ke Yun, who had fainted and was now at death’s door. There was no good cure available at the moment, so Logan could only take out half a Law Dan Medicine pellet, one of only a few left made from the thirty or so medicinal herbs.

As soon as Ba Ke Yun swallowed the pellet, a surge of medicinal power rapidly spread throughout his body. Golden Light circulated around him, and within the blink of an eye, his numerous wounds were healed at an astonishing speed.

A few moments later, Ba Ke Yun woke up, startled to find that he had fully recovered. He had been at death’s door and had even thought it was all a dream, or that he was still dreaming.

However, he was clever and understood the situation immediately. He deeply bowed to Logan, “Thank you for saving my life. I will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life.”

“You don’t need to say such words. I saw potential in your character and your attitude of not backing down even in the face of powerful enemies. I happen to need a subordinate while I’m traveling alone. How about you serve as my guard for three years?”

Logan was straightforward and didn’t beat around the bush. He didn’t believe that his life-saving grace wasn’t worth three years of service, and he trusted that the other party would agree since the debt of saving a life was greater than heaven itself.
