Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 540
Chapter 540: Chapter 345 Wish_2
Jake Wexler was taken aback, for he didn’t believe that Logan could be without a master’s guidance. Otherwise, Logan couldn’t possibly reach the level of Half-step Saint Seat at such a young age. A cultivator needs plenty of cultivation resources, which must be provided by a sect and master. One could not possibly rely solely on oneself.
Contemplating Logan’s words carefully, he came to a horrifying conclusion – Logan’s sect must be incredibly powerful, so powerful that he was unwilling to divulge a word. In that case, it would be completely unacceptable to offend Logan under any circumstances.
Logan gave him a playful smile, raising an eyebrow, “Besides, why are you so interested in where I come from? Shouldn’t you clarify the cause and effect first, and then question the guilty party? Is it that this territory, which values the law so much, also favors the powerful disproportionately?”
“My friend, you jest. It’s simply that you’re so young yet so powerful, I cannot help but admire. Hence, my curiousness. Please, do not take it to heart; we can sit and talk over everything peacefully.”
Jake Wexler did not get angry; instead, he smiled slightly, “I promise to handle everything impartially. However, Ernest Nango is the child of the Nango Family Master. He should be severely punished for his wrongdoing, but you’ve already left him half-alive. How about we let him go for treatment first?”
“Ernest Nango offended me, and not killing him is already a sign of mercy. Just letting him go easily… have you even considered my temper?” Logan shook his head. If these people do not show sincerity, Jake Wexler definitely won’t let it go.
It wouldn’t matter even if the Lord showed up, and definitely not when just a Grand Elder came. This is not a time for the Nango Family to haggle with him, but to figure out how to pacify his rage. If they couldn’t weigh the consequences, they would bear all the consequences themselves.
The Grand Elder was clearly taken aback. He himself was a Half-step Saint Seat powerhouse, and with the Nango Family Master, they should be able to pose a certain threat to Logan. However, Logan completely disregarded them and even put pressure on him.
“Save me, kill Logan.” Ernest Nango, who was on his last breath, howled like a ghost, even insulted Logan under these circumstances. Everyone’s face changed. Was Jake Wexler really lacking in intelligence? Can’t he see the situation clearly?
Logan was also annoyed and prepared to end Ernest Nango’s life with one kick. At this moment, the Nango Family Master and Jake Wexler were both shocked, and quickly prepared their Divine Skills to block him. If Ernest Nango died, there would be an irreconcilable contradiction between Logan and the Nango Family.
Logan stomped on thin air. Ernest Nango had already been moved behind Jake Wexler. The Captain of the Guard had some people control him. This action annoyed Logan and made him feel immense pressure in front of the two Half-step Saint Seats.
The Nango Family Master was overjoyed. He hurriedly turned to Jake Wexler and said, “Grand Elder, please give Ernest Nango to me. I need to take him back for treatment. Although his injuries are not life-threatening, they may affect his cultivation aptitude if they’re delayed too long.”
“No.” Against everyone’s expectations, Jake Wexler refused: “I will send someone to treat him. But before the matter is investigated, Ernest Nango can’t be returned to you. Anyway, don’t worry. I have many top-class doctors.”
“Grand Elder, what do you mean by that?” The Nango Family Master frowned. He had originally thought that Jake Wexler’s appearance would be in his favor. However, it now seemed that was not the case. Was the Lord’s side also wary of Logan and even afraid to offend him?
“I’ve told you before. Prior to resolving your conflict, since Ernest Nango is a party involved, he naturally can’t just leave. I hope you won’t harbor unnecessary suspicions. The Lord’s always been fair and just will not bully Ernest Nango.”
Jake Wexler laughed and waved dismissively, while the Nango Family Master obviously scoffed. He was well aware of his son’s characteristics. It was clear that his son was at fault in this incident. If it were to be fairly dealt with, his son might not even be able to save his life.
Of course, Jake Wexler had his own considerations for doing so. Giving Ernest Nango back directly to the Nango Family Master would be equivalent to offending Logan. The intention of the Lord was to resolve the contradictions between the two parties and prevent the Lord from getting involved as a result of an escalation of the conflict.
“I’m just an outsider, who came to your lands just a day ago, and you think you can bully me as you wish? Even commoners have their dignity, not to mention I am a powerful cultivator. If you’re dissatisfied, I won’t hesitate to fight.”
Logan spoke firmly, not in anger, but turned to look at Jake Wexler, “You’re a smart man, of course, I know what you’re implying. But easing tensions isn’t an easy task, The Nango Family hasn’t yet cleared up their understanding.”
“This place is crowded, why don’t we move to the Lord’s Manor to continue?” Jake Wexler avoided answering and suggested moving to another location. It was indisputably a disadvantage to mediate amidst spectators in an inn.
Master Nango raised no objections, even appearing somewhat hopeful. Once in the Lord’s Manor, he reckoned Logan would not be able to act defiantly. After all, the Nango Family had been under the lord’s rule for many years, and the Lord was bound to consider past favors when dealing with Logan.
Logan, sharp-eyed, suddenly asked, “I can go, but won’t that be a trap? The Lord’s Manor is your territory. Going there would be easy, but I guess leaving would leave me nothing more than a skeleton.” Upon hearing this, Jake Wexler hurried to assure him that the Lord was not such a person.
“The Lord has always been impartial and strict, he even established many rules to protect ordinary people. Regardless of your reputable stature, almost equal to the Half-step Saint Seat, even if you were powerless, the Lord won’t favor the Nango Family. The Lord’s reputation is known to the world.”
“Really?” Logan was sceptical but then said, “No matter, your Lord is only a Quasi-Saint. Even if he were to turn against me, no one could stop me if I don’t want to. At worst, I’ll force my way out, which I don’t think would be difficult.”
This statement, full of deterrent, left Jake Wexler stunned. How could Logan be so confident, not even fearing a Quasi-Saint Seat? Was all this backed by real strength, or just boastful lies? Clearly, the first assumption was true. Cultivators reaching this stage had no need to lie, as the consequence was death.
Master Nango remained indifferent, sneering smugly to himself. He had already thought about what chip he would offer the Lord to intervene and deal with Logan on his behalf.
The onlookers sighed, disappointed that such an interesting showdown was seemingly over. Although they were curious about the forthcoming developments, they also knew that not everyone can go to the Lord’s Mansion. If they insisted on going to watch, they were inviting disaster on themselves.
Although they had only witnessed half the drama, they could still boast about it later. Having witnessed a young man of equal stature to Master Nango, who amongst the Heaven’s chosen could compare? Needless to say, the younger generation of cultivators was truly full of hidden talents.
Under the guidance of Jake Wexler, the group arrived at the Master’s Mansion. It turned out to be lavishly spacious, occupying almost ten thousand meters.
The Lord had been called away due to an urgent matter, a servant reported. Jake Wexler frowned – how was he to deal with this by himself? While Master Nango may appear accommodating, he was actually unbearably arrogant, only the Lord could suppress him.
Jake Wexler cleared his throat, leading the two men to the main hall where a servant served them tea to facilitate a cordial exchange.
“Gentlemen, no acquaintance is formed without a fight. This isn’t a particularly large conflict. Why don’t I intervene to mediate? This can end here. We are all respectable figures, there’s no need for others to make fun of us. Let’s consider this as if it never happened.”
At this, Master Nango slammed the table in a rage, spilling the tea, “What do you mean? Is my son being beaten within an inch of his life just a joke? Where should the Nango family leave their face? If Logan is not severely punished, there will be more and more people challenging the Nango Family.”
“If you continue with this attitude, you are free to leave. Just because the Lord has tolerated you all this time, doesn’t mean you can act lawlessly. It’s a tense situation these past few days. Why can’t you restrain yourself a little and help lighten the Lord’s burden?”
