When they returned to the carriage, the Head of the Westman Family used his divine skills to heal August Westman’s injuries. August said nothing, aware that he’d lost face today. He realized he would no longer be able to mix with society without becoming the object of ridicule.

The Head of the Westman Family sighed deeply and asked, “Do you think I’ve tarnished your reputation? By not killing Logan and the others?” August remained silent, but it was clear that his father’s words echoed his own thoughts. He couldn’t understand why his father, a powerful figure in the Dominator Realm, wanted to reconcile with Logan.

“What if I said that I was no match for Logan?” asked the Westman Family Head, his eyes displaying a faint light. He smiled bitterly and admitted that, despite his desire for vengeance, the harsh reality forced him to bow down. Even though the Westman Family was a large and prosperous clan, there were simply too many powerhouses in this Ancient World.

“I don’t believe it,” objected August. Logan could, at most, be a Perfect King’s Seat in the realm realm, which was vastly different than the Dominator Realm. How could his father be defeated by someone like that? Clearly, his father was making excuses and was reluctant to stir up trouble over him.

“The reality is, Logan’s realm might not be high, but his strength is enough to cross two major levels for fighting. After a few exchanges, I realized that within ten strokes, I would definitely end up beaten miserably. To save face for the Westman Family and resolve this matter, I had to step down,” said the Westman Family Head, clutching his fist tightly.

“There are things you do not understand. In order to allow Logan to save me some face and not humiliate me in public, I had to promise him two hundred thousand spirit stones. Do you think this matter could have ended easily otherwise?”

“When I asked you to apologize, you should have listened to me, not persistently act on your previous temperament. The situation in our city has become unstable with many major forces entering the city. Today’s lesson for you was a good thing to prevent you from offending someone who would be even harder to deal with than Logan.”

The Westman Family Head patted August’s shoulder. In the nearby mountain range, a tremendous battle had taken place, thought to be the end of two Sanctuary Powerhouses. This had drawn forces from within millions of miles, all hoping to investigate the situation. The city was not far from this mountain range, and its Lord was feeling stressed. The Westman Family was even less equipped to handle the situation.

August was unhappy and unwilling to let Logan take the upper hand. “Two hundred thousand spirit stones, such a colossal sum, really, to be paid out? Now that we’ve escaped, why not hire some experts for revenge. There are two elders in our family who are in the Dominator Realm. I don’t believe Logan can beat the three of them.”

“We’re in the midst of troublesome times. If the two hundred thousand is gone, then let it be. Don’t create more trouble for a momentary desire. Three dominators are powerful, indeed. But have you ever thought about the forces behind Logan? Such a prodigious talent can only be cultivated by the rarest Sanctuary in a thousand years.”

The Westman Family Head had made up his mind to return with the two hundred thousand spirit stones as soon as possible to avoid unexpected complications. August sighed, not speaking any more, understanding that Logan was someone he couldn’t afford to provoke. It was already fortunate enough to have his life spared. He couldn’t demand his father to take revenge for him.

When they returned to the Westman Family, a few elders had already gathered, intending to hear how the matter had been resolved. The elders had always been unsatisfied with the Family Head, who would always go out every now and then to resolve troubles caused by August, such a trouble-making young master of the family was really vexing.

“I’m still the Family Head, isn’t it disrespectful for you all to question me like this? If you have an issue, you should discuss it with all the elders, and dismiss me from the family if deemed necessary. At least for now, I am still the Family Head, and I want you all to keep that in mind.”

To assert his dominance over the elders and ensure the smooth payout of the two hundred thousand spirit stones, the Westman Family Head displayed a thundering rage. The elders, who were initially intending to pressurize him, retreated in helplessness when they saw his uncontainable anger.

Later, the Westman Family Head called his confidant to collect two hundred thousand spirit stones from the treasury. The confidant was an old man in the Perfect King’s Seat realm. Hearing this request, he hesitated: “Two hundred thousand is too much. Your authority as Family Head only allows you to use 50,000 without a meeting of the elders. Will going over this limit provoke impeachment from the elders? After all, they’ve always been dissatisfied with you.” frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

“Didn’t you hear what I just said?” the Westman Family Head scolded in a harsh tone, which made the confidant dare not utter another word. He quickly went to fetch the two hundred thousand spirit stones and placed them in the storage space ring. The Westman Family Head instructed him to deliver the stones to someone, providing the address and appearance before falling silent.

Meanwhile, Logan and his companions were in a tavern, drinking and talking. The tavern owner couldn’t express enough gratitude to Logan, who had not only saved his life but also kept the tavern in business. Now, he no longer needed to worry about the Westman Family victimizing him, and he could run his business peacefully.

The tavern owner promised to give half of his tavern to Logan as a token of his gratitude. But Logan declined the offer. He didn’t plan to stay in the city for long and would leave to continue his adventures after a few days. He might not see the tavern ever again in his lifetime.

The tavern owner was regretful. He had been hoping that by giving half of his tavern to Logan, their destinies would be intertwined, providing a powerful ally for his venture. If something happened in the future, who would dare to challenge him with Logan’s backing?

Still, he was an honest man: “I will mortgage some goods, which should get me a few thousand spirit stones. Consider it my way of expressing gratitude. Although a few thousand spirit stones might seem insignificant to you, I am not an ungrateful person. To me, those stones represent all that I own.”

“No need, I didn’t help you to get something in return,” Logan quickly dismissed the idea. He only asked that the tavern owner bring the best food and drink. At the same time, he couldn’t help but compare this experience to the one with the Beast King. He had risked his life to save the Beast King, but it turned against him immediately afterwards.

Shingo Butcher looked at Logan and smiled intriguingly, “You’re quite something, able to make the Westman Family Head submit. In less than a day, your name will have been heard throughout the city, making you a notorious figure. If you planned to stay in the city, you could establish a family clan and become a powerful force.”

“I’m a lazy person, only planning to stay for a few days. As for you, Butcher, you were quite impressive today. In reality, I didn’t defeat the Westman Family Head. We simply shook hands and made peace. If he had really insisted on fighting, I would have definitely ended up in a pitiful state.”

Logan shrugged, worrying in his heart. If he became the center of everyone’s attention in the city, that wouldn’t do. After all, he was merely passing through and didn’t wish to be watched by others.
