Deities: Starting From Goblins-Chapter 475 - : 290_1

Chapter 475: 290_1

Shingo Butcher was stupefied by the scene, unaware that he and Logan had arrived together, and then Logan secretly arranged the array which was unknown to him, illustrating how terrifying Logan’s array arranging skills were.

The Westman Family Head was completely panicked, looking towards the Grand Elder: “You have plenty of experience, is there any way to break the array? This array is constantly consuming our strength. In less than 15 minutes, the two of us will be checkmated.”

“I have no idea.” The Grand Elder chuckled bitterly, never expecting that Logan was also an Array Master. This was a real setback, as in a moment of anger, Logan might decide to execute them.

In this situation, the Grand Elder could only act quickly while they still had some strength left, hoping for a slim chance of survival. Otherwise, if the situation dragged on, the outcome would be grimmer.

“We can’t fight!” The Westman Family Head stopped the Grand Elder. By now, they could only wield forty percent of their strength, equivalent to half of a Perfect King’s Seat. But Logan had just single-handedly defeated several kings. They would be walking right into a trap if they thought of confronting him with just the two of them. ƒreewebɳovel.com

The Grand Elder shot him a scathing look, he was also aware of this predicament. Yet, if not for the fact that the Westman Family Head had offended Logan, causing the Westman Family to suffer such a catastrophic event, this situation might be bearable. Even worse, his son was constantly causing trouble and his family head was not making things any easier.

The Westman Family Head scratched his head, saying, “We neutralized the conflict with Logan by previously giving him 200,000 spirit stones. As long as we give back the spirit stones to Logan, everything might go back to how it was before. Losing the spirit stones, at least the Westman Family will be able to avoid complete destruction.”

“Alright, as long as we can survive, 200,000 is acceptable.” Without any hesitation, the Grand Elder agreed. After all, spirit stones could be earned again but if they were to die, everything would end. After centuries of cultivation to reach the Dominator Realm, he was still longing to achieve the Holy See!

However, as soon as the Westman Family Head opened his mouth, Logan interrupted him. They had previously agreed on 200,000 spirit stones, but due to unexpected changes on the Westman Family Head’s side, the situation had escalated. Hence, 200,000 spirit stones were clearly not enough, especially since the Westman Family Elders had tried to kill him.

The Westman Family Head looked miserable. Was 200,000 spirit stones already unacceptable? Despair flickered in his eyes. If Logan remained adamant, once the two of them fell, the Westman Family’s days would be numbered. Within a year or two, the family would be wiped out.

“Considering our previous conflict, I believe another 200,000 spirit stones, totaling to 400,000 spirit stones would be fair. Given that several Elders were hostile and arrogant, and the two of you harbored intentions to kill me, I’ll charge you guys 600,000 spirit stones in total. This is beyond generous,”

Coughing slightly, Logan continued, “As for the spirit stones used for arranging the array, I won’t argue about it. After all, I am quite generous, and spirit stones are just worldly possessions.”

Upon hearing this, the Westman Family Head and the Grand Elder were dumbfounded. Quite surprisingly, Logan dared to demand 600,000 spirit stones which were equivalent to the Westman Family’s earnings for several years. Once given to Logan, what would be left for the Westman Family to operate on?

This was not a lion’s share, but a threat to the Westman Family. Neither the Westman Family Head nor the Grand Elder wanted to agree, but considering their desperate situation, only death awaited if they refused. They could only agonize over the decision. How would their descendants view them if they agreed?

“Actually, I don’t want them. Once you two are dead, who will guard the Westman Family? The whole Westman Family will belong to me. 600,000 spirit stones are nothing. Even 3 million would be alright. Your Westman Family is worth it. I am just unwilling to initiate a bloodbath, and thus I am negotiating,”

Logan’s expression turned cold. He spoke word by word, “So stop hesitating, thinking that I’m bullying you in the same way you’ve bullied others before. When it happens to you, you think it’s unfair? This world of cultivation is about survival of the fittest. Those who can’t prevail have to bow.”

“Fine, take the 600,000 spirit stones,” the Westman Family Head reluctantly nodded. He would rather live on. After all, the Westman Family had already lost face today, so what’s the harm in losing a little more? Logan wouldn’t stay in the city forever. Once he left, the Westman Family would still be in control.

On the other hand, the Grand Elder didn’t commit. He didn’t think it was absolutely necessary to give the spirit stones and hoped to stall for time. What if the Westman Family figured out a way to break Logan’s so-called array? 600,000 spirit stones were too much to part with, as it would feel like giving away half of the Westman Family’s wealth.

Yet, Logan merely smiled unperturbed, adding fuel to the fire, “Don’t get your hopes up. My array had once trapped a half-step Saint Seat Demon Beast. Even if you call for reinforcements, the strongest would only be the City Lord. As the City Lord is not a Saint Seat, my array will remain impenetrable.”

Even if a Saint Seat did come, Logan could add another 10,000 spirit stones, strengthening his array to trap the Beast King, then the Westman Family Head, and the Grand Elder still wouldn’t be able to escape. This was why Logan had confidently come to the Westman Family, as he held several trump cards.

“We can give the 600,000 spirit stones, but the Westman Family has one condition. In order to maintain our standing in the city, I hope you would pretend to be defeated by us. After being severely beaten, the spirit stones will be handed over to you,”

The Grand Elder finally compromised, hoping to save a bit of face for the Westman Family. Giving away the 600,000 spirit stones was not a problem, but losing to a youngster would be humiliating. Who would then fear the Westman Family? Other families might unite against them, making it impossible for the Westman Family to function.

Logan, of course, was taken aback. It was similar to what the Westman Family Head proposed earlier, but this time, Logan stubbornly refused. Previously, he had given the Westman Family face, yet Jane Morgan failed to retain it and even broke up with him. All of this was their own doing.

Respect should be mutual. Since the Westman Family Elders failed to keep their words, why should Logan lower his head on their account? What if he wiped out the entire Westman Family? He wasn’t after a measly 600,000 spirit stones. In fact, Logan didn’t even care for the spirit stones, as they weren’t beneficial to his current cultivation.

The Westman Family Head, on the other hand, appeared enlightened and spread his hands, “Forget it, it’s not possible to fool those people anyway. They might not notice in the short run, but once they realize it in the long run, it will only make the Westman Family a laughingstock. Perhaps the Westman Family has indeed been too rampant over the years and losing some face might motivate us.”

“After all, you are the family head, and I am an old man now. Since you’ve decided, I won’t say more. Indeed, the Westman Family’s current situation is due to lax discipline. Everyone has been arrogant and has bullied others.”

The Grand Elder sighed deeply, wishing that he had been more astute today. If he hadn’t underestimated Logan and his team, and had waited for the family head’s judgment, perhaps the conflict could have been settled with just 200,000 spirit stones.
