Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!-Chapter 303: Turn Misfortune into Fortune, Break Through Again!
After dealing with the three men, a flash of light suddenly appeared before Logan’s eyes.
In his vision of the future, he saw Black using the Absolute Control ability to control many nobles and force Logan to hand over the energy crystal technology.
Feeling this, Logan made a Space Cut from afar, slicing through the air.
In the shadows, Black’s right sleeve was cut clean off, and fabric pieces flew into the air.
This was a warning—and a declaration of war.
Black’s face turned pale. He looked at his empty sleeve, his eyes full of hatred, but he dared not show himself.
Just having Logan and Natalia, plus three Saint-stage warriors, was already too much for Black to handle. And with Turing here, if he showed his face, he wouldn’t make it out alive today.
So Black didn’t hesitate. He took the chance while everyone was still stunned and left the hall.
But the top leaders of the eight companies and Turing weren’t fools. They also recognized the person hiding in the shadows as Black.
However, due to Black’s status, they didn’t say anything directly. Instead, they all stepped forward to congratulate Logan.
The hall filled with applause and cheers.
This time, Logan had completely gained the approval of Pinocchini.
Turing walked up to Logan, looking impressed. "Logan, the Dream Committee has authorized your family to take full control of the thirteenth district. From now on, you are the official leader of the Latio family."
Then, the representatives of the eight companies came forward again, competing to offer their cooperation.
Originally, the thirteenth district was almost like a slum in Pinocchini. It had not received any investment or development for decades.
Now that the Latio family was rising rapidly, the eight companies all rushed forward to seek cooperation.
In just a few moments, Logan received over a hundred requests for rental opportunities. Not only the eight companies, but some nobles also wanted to open shops in the thirteenth district.
Not far from Logan, the girls watched him being praised by everyone, and all of them smiled.
...
After the banquet, Logan climbed alone to the top of the Gene Lock Trial Tower.
This was a private area of the Latio family, and it had been empty for over a hundred years.
The girls from [Dawn Blade] followed behind Logan, looking worried.
From the banquet earlier, they could all tell something was wrong with Logan.
Knowing Logan well, they knew he would never let Maurice and the others go so easily.
As the girls were about to step forward to check on him, Logan raised his hand and stopped them. "Protect me, don’t let anyone come near," he said.
Then, he pressed his fingers against his temple. The pain in his head was too much to hold back any longer, and it finally exploded.
Logan sat cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state.
Seeing his painful face, the girls looked even more worried.
"This is the aftereffect of overusing Mental Power!" Nel said right away.
"Everyone be careful. Take turns standing guard. Logan might need a long rest this time," Natalia noticed something was wrong with Logan and her face turned cold.
Though they had been brave earlier, the girls were all exhausted.
If another attack like that happened, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.
So the girls didn’t take any chances. They split into groups to stand watch, and the others quickly rested to recover their strength.
Inside his Soul Sea, Logan felt his mind almost disappearing.
The cost of using [Predict the Future] so much had to be paid with Soul Power.
And in past trials, he had already used [Predict the Future] more than a thousand times. That was serious overuse.
"This is bad." Logan sighed. He had no choice but to focus on recovery and fall into a mental sleep.
But just as he completely closed his mind, the baby in the core of his soul started moving.
"Giggling!" The baby climbed out of Logan’s soul core, as if it had finally escaped from its guardian.
Then, the baby found the half-transparent spiritual body floating in the Soul Sea and jumped toward it.
Soon, Logan and the mysterious baby merged into a golden cocoon.
Gradually, Logan felt a fresh flow of energy enter his soul.
His Soul Power, which had been weak, quickly started to recover. At the same time, a lot of insights exploded in his mind like fireworks.
As his Soul Power recovered, the familiars in his familiar space began to break through.
Because a familiar’s power was limited by the Master Stage, Logan had never released them since coming to Pinocchini.
The reason was simple. Even a Legend Stage familiar wasn’t enough to fight a Saint Stage enemy.
Plus, in Pinocchini, where hand-to-hand combat was valued, letting a familiar leave meant losing a defense card.
And at this stage, the [Dawn Blade] girls each had strong Battle Styles, so they had chosen to keep their familiars hidden.
After this transformation, Logan quickly regained his consciousness.
He checked his familiar space and was surprised to find that all his familiars were now in a state of transformation.
Just like him, their star marks were slowly increasing.
First, Lilith, Kerparos, Heserion, and Nami reached 36 stars.
Then, Nabo and Red Feather reached 35-star.
Even the weakest one, Black Ant, now had 32-star.
As for Logan’s Black Ant Army, each of the thousands of Legend Stage ants had 28-star.
Even a Saint Stage opponent would have to be afraid of so many Legend Stage ants.
At that moment, the sound of electricity in the air suddenly became sharp.
Natalia and the others all showed signs of alertness.
Nel and Bobbi quickly stepped in to stop the people who were about to attack.
"Don’t worry, it’s the boss!" Nel looked at the space in front of him. Turing’s data body had formed in front of everyone, and the electricity on his face was flowing very fast.
Then, his voice sounded unusually urgent.
"Scouting Team S-level mission has been triggered."
"In the deepest part of the Crying Valley in the Lost Wastes, there’s a strange change in the remains of the World Tree. We detected fluctuations of the Original Evolution Essence."
"Also, Black has joined forces with the remnants of the Brutus family, as well as three other families. They seem to be taking action."
"And they’ve split into two groups. One went to the Lost Wastes, and the other quietly returned to the thirteenth district. Their target is Hiyua!"
...
After receiving Turing’s urgent message, Logan opened his eyes immediately. "They’re asking for death!"
Logan quickly led the Dawn Blade members back to the Red Star Forge.
In the meeting room, everyone sat around the table. Turing’s hologram floated in the center of the table, projecting detailed intelligence.
According to the map, Black had personally led the Execution Squad and the core forces of the three families to the Lost Wastes.
At the same time, he had sent a small team to secretly return to the thirteenth district, planning to kidnap Hiyua.
After hearing the enemy’s plan, the girls were angry.
Logan coldly stared at the projection, thinking about whether he should first attack the base of the three families.
Suddenly, Logan’s encrypted communicator lit up. Maya Archbishop sent over the latest intelligence.
The report clearly showed that the weapons company had a large amount of money flowing with Black. Black was using the weapons company’s channels to secretly develop a gene bomb.
This bomb could target specific bloodlines and carry out a genetic-level extermination. And his main target right now was the Latio family’s bloodline.
This bomb could greatly weaken the powers of the Golden Families.
After reading the report, Logan lightly tapped his fingers on the table, making a regular light sound.
Then, he looked at Jessica and said in a very serious tone: "Jessica, Hiyua’s safety is now in your hands."
Jessica stood up and nodded firmly. "Don’t worry. No one will touch a single hair on Hiyua, not unless I’m dead."
Logan heard this and then set up a three-layer defense system.
Jessica’s battle power wasn’t enough, but her ability to hide was strong. As long as she summoned her Fortress Turtle, Mirage Beast, and Holy Spirit Tree, she could create a three-layer hidden environment, making it hard for anyone to find their real location.
Fischl left half of her shadow crows behind, setting up an intelligence network that covered the entire thirteenth district. Any strange movement would be detected immediately.
If needed, Fischl could instantly return via her shadow crow clones to provide support.
Meanwhile, Gwen would help Jessica and make a large number of short-term immunity runes.
Evelynna, Yelena, and Sawako stayed behind as the main visible force at the Latio family’s ancestral home.
The others, including Natalia, Sophia, and Lucia, three Saint-stage warriors, as well as Fischl, Nel, Bobbi, and the members of the Taliban team, would be the main force for this mission.
After everything was arranged, Logan glanced at Turing.
If he could, he didn’t want to take this mission.
But it was an order from the Dream Committee’s top leaders. As a favor, he couldn’t refuse.
So he took a deep breath and told the girls in the room: "This time to the Lost Wastes, we not only need to get the Original Evolution Essence, but also completely deal with Black once and for all."
At that moment, Fischl hurried in, her face serious. "I just got the latest report from the shadow crows."
"Maya Archbishop is leading the Eyes of Power to move around deep in the Lost Wastes."
"They are trying to establish contact with the spirit tribe of the Emerald Tribes."
"And Black’s Execution Squad has already reached the outskirts of the Crying Valley."
Hearing the news, Turing sighed and said, "Logan, the target of this mission is the spirit tribe. It looks like the Eyes of Power and Black have already moved ahead. You need to act faster."
Logan nodded when he heard this.
Since he had agreed to the Dream Committee’s request, he had to do the job well.
