Logan’s declaration caught the elder’s attention, who had previously overlooked him and his companion, assuming they were only guards for Butcher. Now, they didn’t display any aura or exude the charisma of powerful cultivators.

However, out of respect for the Butcher’s presence, he refrained from losing his temper and asked, “You two? Are you implying that you are stronger than Butcher? On what grounds should I negotiate with you? Just because Butcher yielded, does it mean any Tom, Dick, or Harry can act arrogantly? What’s your trump card? Cut the chatter and show it.”
“Trump card?” Logan pondered for a moment, then shook his head. “We don’t have. We’re just ordinary cultivators. We’ve only gotten to know Butcher here. The reason I spoke up was to inquire. What if I don’t agree with Butcher’s decision to compromise?”
“I see!” the elder understood, and then declared, “In that case, you’ll end up worse off than the innkeeper. The Westman Family isn’t one to be provoked by just anyone. Provoke us, and you’ll pay the price. Nevertheless, I always have kindness in my heart and would definitely leave your bodies intact.”
“You dare.” Before Logan could respond, Bart Cloud, who was beside him, couldn’t sit still anymore. He slammed the table and stood up, his terrifying aura exploding and infusing the air. The elder, taken aback, hadn’t expected Bart to also be from the Throne Realm.
However, it didn’t panic him at all. After all, he had seen too many from the Throne Realm. The Throne Realm in front of the Westman Family was like an insignificant ant. They had more than twenty from the Throne Realm, weren’t they not afraid of just one? Not everyone could be like Butcher. Despite being in the Throne Realm, Butcher had reached perfection, and his combat power was remarkably extraordinary and brutal. This was why the elder had yielded earlier.
The elder’s gaze turned playful as he emitted an imposing aura, “Don’t imitate Butcher because you’re not worthy.” His aura was in fact from a Perfect King’s Seat, and was one step away from reaching the so-called Dominator Realm. He aimed to suppress Bart Cloud with his aura and to let the latter understand the gap in strength. A Perfect King’s Seat was worth ten normal Throne Realms. And this was just the gap in realms, not considering the combat power.
However, in the next moment, his face stiffened, and he seemed to be in a stupor. Despite exploding with all his aura, why couldn’t he suppress Bart Cloud? Instead, he was sweating profusely from the strain and almost suffered a backlash. This was proof of how strong Bart’s aura was. But why would his Perfect King’s Seat be so distressed unless Bart was already a Dominator?
On the side, August Westman was unaware of what was happening and encouraged the elder continually, “Elder, keep going! Teach these men a good lesson!” The elder could only give him an embarrassed smile and then retreated his aura to prevent himself from getting injured. Consequently, Bart Cloud’s aura filled the entire room, and everyone could feel the pressure, especially August Westman who was gasping for breath.
“So, you are also a great one! No wonder Butcher was so arrogant earlier. Indeed, I have underestimated and overlooked you. However, despite having two Perfect King’s Seats, the Westman Family Clan still has a Dominator in charge. Don’t let your success go to your head. Let’s talk about how to resolve this issue.”
The elder drew a deep breath, and his posture was even more humble, “Okay. Now that no outsiders are here, I can take a step back on behalf of the Westman Family Clan. The innkeeper will only need to walk around town for a day to regain the face of my Westman Family Clan, and I will ensure that he is not harmed and won’t be disturbed in his future business.”
“Elder, I don’t…” August Westman hurriedly interrupted, only to be cut off by the elder. The elder shot him a harsh glance. It was enough that August was usually arrogant, but he caused big trouble for the Westman Family Clan today and made the elder beg humbly. The elder was filled with rage.
The Westman Family Clan had influence in the city, second only to the City Lord, yet several family clans in the city were not much weaker than the Westman Family Clan. If the Westman Family Clan were to have a major conflict with someone, these family clans would certainly interfere, causing the Westman Family Clan to be ganged up on from all sides and even lose its power.
As Butcher seemed to be hesitating, the elder continued, “You should also consider this: the Westman Family Clan is reputable. If we were to simply let people mock the bullying of our young master, would that not make us the laughing stock? I have indeed shown 100% sincerity, or I wouldn’t have discussed with you.”
“Indeed.” Shingo Butcher nodded. If the elder had attacked him from the start, he would have fought to the death. However, as the elder had compromised repeatedly, there was actually some face-saving involved. Additionally, just like the elder mentioned, he couldn’t protect the innkeeper forever.
“I can compromise, but I will not let the innkeeper walk around publicly. Just post a sign acknowledging his mistake so that all the people in the city can see. Also, ask him to offer 2,000 Spirit Stones as compensation, which is reasonable. Let’s end everything here, and don’t bother the innkeeper again.”
Shingo Butcher’s words made the elder hesitant. After some thought, he agreed, but August Westman was very unhappy. His personal dignity had not been restored; only the dignity of the Westman Family Clan. Who would help him get back his squandered dignity? Who could help him take revenge?
Even though he was not willing to accept it, he remained silent. He absolutely could not go against the elder’s decision. As the young master of the Westman Family Clan, there were others of kinship in the clan. If he caused too much trouble, they might consider replacing him. So, he did not dare to offend the elder.
Just then, Logan spoke up again, “We’ve reached an agreement that seems to please everyone. But, does my earlier statement have no effect at all? Are you all still ignoring me? After all, I am not with Butcher. Who will bear my anger now?”
“What…what do you want?” the elder asked Logan, wondering why he was involved in this matter. Still, with Bart Cloud, Logan’s companion being a Perfect King’s Seat, he did not get angry at the first instance, but wanted to see what Logan was up to and why he was angry.
“I initially just came here for a meal, but August Westman caused a scene out of the blue, wrecking the restaurant and ruining my mood. Then all of you showed up, disturbing my drinking over and over again. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation? I demand that you compensate me.”
Logan’s gaze was piercing as he said, “Adding it all up, spiritual damages and such come to a total of 20,000 Spirit Stones. You have an hour to get it together, or I will not rest until I am at it with your Westman Family Clan. You could take it as a threat. It all depends on if your Westman Family Clan can afford it.” fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
“In decades, no one has dared to threaten the Westman Family Clan this way.” The elder’s gaze turned cold. This man was simply a greenhorn fearless of a tiger, and he even had the audacity to demand 20,000 Spirit Stones from the Westman Family Clan. Did he realize how much that amounted to? It was close to the six months income of a small sect.
