Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 542
Chapter 542: Chapter 346 Master_2
“You’re quite a good-tempered lord. If you had dealt with it earlier, perhaps I wouldn’t have been so critical with the Nango Family. After all, I don’t think highly of them at all, and arguing with them is a complete waste of time. Intelligent people like you are rare,”
Logan seemed rather moved. It’s no wonder that he could become a lord, just because of his speech and attitude alone, which are rather calming and above reproach. Even the previous resentment and fury had dissipated.
The lord, too, was marvelling. This young man’s mental strength was truly impressive. He did not show a shred of fear, even when faced with someone of Quasi-Saint Seat status like himself. It was as calm as if it were a commonplace affair, and just as his previous guesses suggested, the opposite party must be of significant status.
“Ernest Nango did make an attempt on my life, that’s a fact. And murder should indeed be paid with life.” Logan glanced at the Nango Family Master and said casually. Seeing Logan’s demeanor in front of the lord, the Nango Family Master became uneasy, fearing that the lord would indeed agree to Logan’s demands.
The lord’s expression remained indifferent, continuing, “Your demand is reasonable, and it is not your fault. I can understand and even agree with it. However, I hope you can be magnanimous. Back then, I owed you a favor. Could you spare Ernest Nango’s life?”
Ernest Nango is the son of the Nango Family Master. If he failed to protect him, the entire Nango Family would be dragged into a battle against Logan, leaving the lord with less assistance in dealing with another lord. This was not a scenario he wished to see, hence his plea.
“If not life, then he must renounce his cultivation and live out his life as a common man, not bullying others indiscriminately.”
Logan thought for a moment. He considered the lord’s stance and reasonableness, and decided that compromise wasn’t impossible since the other party was quite forthcoming.
At these words, the Nango Family Master stood up to protest, “Renouncing all his cultivation—that’s too cruel! He’s the future head of the Nango Family. How could he ever be a common man? And how could he survive in this world of cultivation without any cultivation?”
“How can someone of such character be a Master? He’ll only lead the Nango Family to ruin. I think you should choose someone else from your family, better to have someone of good character to avoid offending yet another untouchable figure.”
Logan’s eyes were firm, and he joked, “Even without cultivation, at least he’s alive. What if his offspring is exceptionally talented? Wouldn’t that continue your line? If he wants to have too much, he needs to consider whether he is capable or not.”
“Lord, I ask you to help me suppress Logan. I am willing to offer ten million spirit stones. I swear that the Nango Family will follow your orders without question and never say no. I hope that taking our relationship into account, you won’t let me suffer such a terrible fate.”
The Nango Family Master glared ferociously at Logan. At this point, he was desperate, even if it meant sacrificing the entire Nango family. He couldn’t believe that Ernest Nango, who had just made a small mistake, had to pay such a devastating price, which was extremely excessive.
Logan was taken aback. Ten million spirit stones was not a small sum. Even a super first-class sect would only earn several million spirit stones in a year. The Nango Family couldn’t be that superior, and this sum probably represented decades of the family’s accumulation.
After the surprise, he laughed. If the Nango Family had apologized to him earlier, he guessed that only hundreds of thousands of spirit stones would have been necessary for compensation. He did not intend to haggle with them, but now, to get him killed, they came up with ten million.
The lord looked grim. The Nango Family Master was usually a smart man, why was he making a foolish mistake at this crucial moment? Despite the lord’s indications that he should yield, he kept taking the high ground, revealing no consideration for whether Logan could be offended or not.
He didn’t even regard a Quasi-Saint Seat holder like himself. Loga’s teacher wasn’t a quasi-Saint, it’s estimated that there is a Saint Seat guiding him behind the scenes. Especially with Logan being so young and already at a Half-step Saint Seat, the backing force might not just be a single Saint Seat.
If they actually touched Logan, the Strong One behind him could probably easily destroy them, and even if Logan did not have a sect, the Lord was not willing to take risks. Who dare to gamble on that probability, especially when the chances are slim?
The Lord was not interested in dialoguing with a fool, instead he turned to Jake Wexler, “Where is Ernest Nango? Bring him here to relinquish his cultivation.” Jake Wexler was momentarily stunned, but he understood the Lord’s attitude. It seemed he would rather offend the Nango family than risk offending Logan.
After a while, the now healed Ernest Nango was escorted here. Seeing the Lord and the Nango family head, he was naturally arrogant again, believing that his father and the Lord had settled matters, and not only would he be safe, but perhaps Logan would be in trouble.
The Lord waved his hand and ordered, “Grand Elder, go. Remember to destroy his entire Dantian, do not leave any possibilities for it to be repaired. Ensure that he cannot cultivate for a lifetime. His seven channels and eight meridians are the same. If you do it, you should do it thoroughly.”
“My Lord…” The Nango family head was already in tears, and he fell to his knees. Hearing this, Ernest Nango was also pale with fear and fell on his knees, pleading with the Lord for mercy.
The Lord was rather helpless, only trying to appease Logan’s wrath. Even if he had great reluctance, he had to be ruthless. Only in this way could he protect the whole Nango family from any implication. Perhaps, after a long time, the Nango family head would understand his bitter decision.
“What were you doing before? If you could have made peace with Logan earlier, if you could lay down your proud and superior arrogance, wouldn’t the situation have gotten this far? What’s the use of kneeling now? You won’t give up until you see the Golden River.”
The Lord reprimanded, “Don’t beg for mercy anymore, otherwise it will not only be the forfeiture of cultivation, perhaps Logan would revert to his previous idea, and let Ernest Nango pay for his life. This ending is already good enough, you should feel lucky, and not beg for mercy here.”
“Moreover, I can guarantee that as long as I am the Lord for a day, even if Ernest Nango becomes an ordinary person unable to cultivate, I will protect him for a lifetime, and he will have no worries about food and clothing. Moreover, the Nango family is strong and influential, and they do not need my help.”
Upon hearing the Lord’s words, the Nango family head finally gave up completely, and kept muttering to himself, “I regret, it’s all caused by my pride, after all, I am the esteemed head of the Nango family. I am unwilling to bow down and admit my mistakes to a nobody.”
Actually thinking about it, if he hadn’t protected his son, and if he hadn’t cared about face as a family head, and had made peace with Logan, definitely it would not have come to this, but it was too late to turn things around. He could only watch as his son Ernest Nango was stripped of his cultivation.
As a father, he’d have rather suffered himself. But as the head of the Nango family, if he lost his cultivation, the Nango family would dissolve, and if one day he became a Sanctuary Powerhouse, he might help his son regain his qualifications and start his cultivation journey again.
Ernest Nango was stripped of his cultivation, screaming, and then he was escorted away by a crowd. Jake Wexler glanced at the Nango family head, and found that there was only regret in the other party’s eyes, not resentment. This slightly comforted him, for fear that the Nango family head would blame everything on the Lord.
It was then that Logan nodded in satisfaction. If Ernest Nango had just stolen a few spirit stones, he wouldn’t have cared. The key issue was that he had tried to kill both him and Bart Cloud. If they were asleep at the time, perhaps Ernest Nango would have succeeded.
“Young friend, can we put aside our differences now?” the Lord kindly asked. Logan waved his hand to indicate that he could let bygones be bygones.
The Lord heaved a sigh of relief, then said, “A great battle is about to start soon, so I will not detain you any longer. You should leave my territory as early as possible. Of course, please don’t misunderstand that I am driving you away. It’s just that it has been confirmed that another Lord will attack in three days.”
The reason he left earlier was because he had received the battle report from the front line, and he went to set up a defence plan. He had been running around for the past few days, never resting for a moment, while the Nango family head was still causing trouble for him.
At these words, Logan became interested. He had heard of the conflict between the two Lords, but he was unclear about what exactly had happened between them. Upon hearing the topic brought up now, his curiosity was piqued and he wanted to hear the confirmation from the involved Lord’s mouth.
