Chapter 477: Chapter 292: Innermost Feelings_1

“Here, take these six hundred thousand Spirit Stones as an expression of respect from the Westman Family. You shall be our esteemed guest from now on. We will educate our younger generations after this incident and they will no longer bring trouble to others.”

The head of the Westman Family walked up to Logan, respectfully handing him six hundred thousand Spirit Stones, which were temporarily stored inside a Storage Bag. His words were earnest as he had truly recognized the consequences of the younger generation stirring up trouble, which had inadvertently involved the entire family.

Logan flashed a faint smile, accepting the Spirit Stones: “I hope you will reform. I may not stay in the city for long, but that doesn’t mean I won’t return. If the Westman Family annoys me again, I suggest you weigh it carefully.”

He waved his hand, leaving with Bart Cloud and Shingo Butcher, leaving the Westman Family members to look on with helpless smiles. The young man was just too powerful, to the point that the entirety of the Westman Family could not withstand him. They had been a part of city life for a hundred years and had never experienced such a disastrous day.

“It’s so unexpected. I thought he was nothing more than an overambitious man who dared to provoke the Westman Family. I thought he’d be slaughtered by the Westman Family’s masters, but I never imagined this would be the outcome. None of them were his match and they even compensated him with six hundred thousand Spirit Stones. As expected, power is the most beautiful thing.”

“The Westman Family has declined over the years, but that really pleases me. After all, we’ve been bullied by the Westmans for years. Now someone has avenged us. I believe that the Westman Family will be more cautious in the future and we will no longer have to pay several thousand Spirit Stones each month. Everyone can feel at ease to do business.”

“I said it before, this young man was the one from the inn. The head of the Westman Family even shook hands and made peace with him at that time. I was filled with questions, but now I understand it all. He surely couldn’t fight back and had no other choice.”

Onlookers discussed enthusiastically, openly mocking the Westman Family, and venting their previously suppressed complaints. Before, the Westman Family was highly respected, nobody dared to mess with them, even if they were bullied they had to endure it. Now, the Westman Family had truly been disgraced.

Moreover, once word of this got out, the Westman Family would surely become the laughing stock. We’ll see how they continue to bully and dominate the city. For such a large family to be beaten by a young man, it would not be too much to say they were laughed at for a hundred years. The Westman Family has always valued their face and reputation. It seems like they are on the brink of collapse.

Of course, there were those who frowned, sighing: “Don’t place your hopes on a disaster. The young man will leave the city one day, and the Westman Family’s power hasn’t been weakened. They can still dominate the city. Today’s humiliation will certainly be avenged in the future. Everyone should be careful.”

“What is there to be afraid of? The more the Westman Family acts recklessly, the better. If they offend another powerful figure, they might be wiped out in a fit of anger. On the contrary, if the Westman Family is smart, they will certainly be more cautious from now on.”

Someone shrugged in rebuttal, thinking that the comment was a real buzzkill. Everyone was just enjoying the moment. But did he have to dampen the mood in front of everyone? Or had he been bullied by the Westman Family for so long that he’d grown dependent on it, and felt uncomfortable if they didn’t?

The Westman Family Elders were enraged. Just as they were about to teach a lesson to a passer-by, they were stopped by the Grand Elder. It was not the right time to cause more trouble. After all, the Westman Family couldn’t handle it, and the best option would be to keep a low profile to avoid spiraling into further chaos.

The head of the Westman Family nodded in agreement, saying: “Yes, recently, two Holy Sees have gone missing from the nearby Mountain Range. Rumor has it that they have fallen. Many strong ones have rushed to the vicinity and some have come to our city. The City Lord is already overwhelmed. A moment’s inattention and we may have to face a more powerful being.”

“Is the Westman Family really going to swallow this hard pill?” an Elder grumbled with resentment. He just gave away six hundred thousand Spirit Stones, something that hadn’t happened in the Westman Family for decades. This made him feel a deep sense of injustice. If it was a matter of ten or so thousand Spirit Stones, it could be brushed off. But six hundred thousand Spirit Stones was equivalent to several years of income.

The Grand Elder glanced at him, spreading his hands: “If you want to take revenge, go ahead. But don’t do it in the name of the Westman family. Isn’t it more beneficial for us to invest six hundred thousand Stones in our future? The Westman Family is not a major power. I hope you keep this in mind; we have always been living cautiously.”

“Originally, twenty thousand Stones would have sufficed. But this man has stirred up trouble, not only did he take eighteen thousand Spirit Stones and run away, he has also sowed discord between me and the elders, even inviting Logan to find trouble with us, causing the Westman Family to become the laughing stock.

The head of the Westman Family had now reached his confidant, his words harsh and his eyes stern. The other dozen or so elders also came over, looking at this man with hatred. His manipulations had been too cunning and almost led to the destruction of the Westman Family. They would resent him even in the face of grueling trials.

The confidant was hanging on by a thread, continually kowtowing: “Master, I just made a moment’s mistake. Considering my many years of heart-felt service to you, could you spare my life? I swear that I will atone for my crimes from now on. How about using the rest of my life to make up the sixty thousand Spirit Stones?”

“It’s a bit late for that.” The head of the Westman Family said coldly: “I’ve always trusted you, but you desired petty profits. I was planning to let you manage some of the business, and you could earn seventy or eighty thousand Spirit Stones a year. You have disappointed my expectations and caused irreversible damage.”

“I am not interested in dealing with such a person. Toss him outside of the city to feed the wild beasts.” The Grand Elder’s eyes were filled with murderous intent and contempt, even daring to privately take away twenty thousand Spirit Stones. His courage was just too large. If not for Logan being willing to settle for sixty thousand Spirit Stones, wouldn’t the Westman Family have been ruined in his hands?

“That’s too easy, I’d rather see him on the city tower, enduring the wind and rain for a year, without giving him a single meal.” Another elder shook his head, believing that the Grand Elder was too merciful. This man shouldn’t be let off so easily, how else could they release their hatred? After all, each elder had given two thousand Spirit Stones.

The confidant had now lost all hope, knowing that he wouldn’t get away or survive. So, he was thinking of ending his life, but his divine powers had been revoked. He would have a harder time ending his own life than climbing to the moon, so all he could do at this point was to kowtow continuously to the head of the Westman Family, hoping to be spared due to past kindness.

The head of the Westman Family waved his hand, calling for silence: “I have ways to punish him, the elders don’t have to worry. In any case, I will prioritize the Westman Family. After all, he was my confidant, naturally, I also have an undeniable responsibility. I will pledge to provide ten years’ worth of cultivation resources, not taking a single bit from the family.”

“As for the errors caused by my confidant, to serve as a warning to all Westman Family members, I will execute him in front of all the younger generations. This will make them understand that they should not run rampant outside, otherwise, they will end up like this man. Raise an alarm to all the descendants so that the Westman Family can have a better future.”
