Chapter 967: Chapter 550: Creation of the Six Paths_2

Logan’s eyebrows twitched slightly, but he remained silent.

“So you’re saying you don’t have it now?”

Logan was not foolish, he keenly sensed this from the other person’s words.

The Chief’s deception was uncovered, a flash of embarrassment crossed his face, but it quickly turned into an air of it being a matter of course.

“The reason the Fruit of Life is so precious is precisely because it’s rare. If it were easily obtained, why would I offer it in a trade with you, Young Master? In any case, if you want to get this Fruit of Life, you’re afraid you’ll still have to come with us to get it.”

The chief said this confidently, as if he did not believe there was anything deceitful or problematic about it.

The corner of Logan’s mouth twitched.

Only if his brain were waterlogged would he believe this chief’s promise.

Indeed, another empty shell.

However, the matter had already been dealt with, and not demanding payment was not his style.

Since the Chief insisted that the Fruit of Life existed, only that the process of obtaining it was complicated, what would it harm for him to accompany them once?

Now, he had instead become curious about this Fruit of Life the Chief spoke of.

Did such a fruit truly exist?

Why was the Chief so secretive? Was the fruit hiding some secret?

He squinted his eyes slightly, his gaze flickered, but the odd look in his eyes was quickly concealed.

“Fine, I will trust you one more time and go with you, but you had better not deceive me.”

He said coldly, his words carrying a tinge of danger.

The Chief shuddered subconsciously and wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead.

He did not dare to offend Logan and could only maintain a forced smile.

“How could I? Rest assured, I will surely not let Young Master be disappointed.”

Logan snorted coldly, not saying whether he believed him or not, and temporarily turned to leave.

“We leave tomorrow; I will come for you early in the morning.”

Surprisingly, he set the time before the Chief did, with an air of decisiveness.

Seeing this, the Chief felt a surge of resentment and ground his molars fiercely.

“Pah! Who do you think you are, daring to command us now?”

As the Chief, he had always been the one in command.

Now, suddenly feeling suppressed, the Chief naturally found it hard to swallow.

Yet, unable to defeat Logan, he was forced to endure.

As his gaze shifted, he had already thought of a cunning plan; a trace of malevolence showed in his eyes.

Under the moonlight, he quietly summoned his clanspeople.

Soon, a large group of clanspeople arrived in his yard, gathering around.

“Chief, why have you called us here in the middle of the night? Is there something the matter?”

“Yes, is it about that foreigner? His strength seems quite formidable, and I heard he refuses to take responsibility for Jaya. A foreigner is bullying us; shouldn’t we do something about it?”

The clanspeople were talking all at once, but they had also heard of this person Logan.

The Chief clapped his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.

After everyone quieted down and turned their attention to the Chief, he coughed lightly and spoke deliberately.

“My fellow clanspeople, I have called you here today because there is indeed a very important matter. Tomorrow, that Logan will accompany us to get the Fruit of Life.”

“The Fruit of Life? Chief, such an important item, how can you give it to a foreigner? Even our own people might not get their hands on it.”

“Indeed, Chief, you can’t let that thing fall into the hands of outsiders; it’s a valuable item!”

The Chief listened impatiently, fiddling with his ear, then let out a cold laugh.

“Shut up, all of you!”

No matter what, the Chief was still the Chief.

Once he spoke up, combined with his cultivation level and talent, he could still suppress the crowd.

Regardless of how much noise they made or how dissatisfied they felt inside, they stopped at that moment, although their expressions varied, indicating that they were far from calm.

The Chief gave a cold snort.

“A bunch of idiots, when have you ever seen me turn my elbow outwards?”

As this rhetorical question was posed, the clan members seemed to realize something and eerily calmed down one after another.

“Chief, what do you mean by this?”

“Yes, Chief, could it be that you’re planning to use that foreigner?”

Whatever everyone was thinking, their glances exchanged, full of implications.

A cold smile once again formed at the corner of the Chief’s mouth.

“Not only was this foreigner utterly impolite, but he also toyed with the heart of a girl from our clan. If I were to forgive him and even bestow upon him the Fruit of Life, that would be the real betrayal. Therefore, I have summoned everyone today to assign you all a task. On the way to retrieve the Fruit of Life, we will directly …”

The Chief’s remaining words went unsaid as he merely made a throat-slitting gesture.

In an instant, all the clan members’ eyes lit up, and their faces echoed with elation.

“You should have said so earlier, Chief. I knew you weren’t the type to bully the weak and fear the strong. He’s just a foreigner; what’s so impressive about him!”

“Chief, rest assured, this foreigner dares to trample over us, this time we must teach him a lesson he won’t forget. We’d best ensure his soul stays here, to show everyone the consequences of offending us!”

This speech seemed to hit the nail on the head for the Chief. Although he didn’t openly agree with anything specific, his demeanor showed full approval.

“Chief, what’s our next move?”

The Chief waved his hand, his expression very calm.

“There’s no rush. We have tonight to prepare. When time is sufficient, you just need to carefully choose the strongest, most formidable among our clan members. That man’s abilities are not low; he may even surpass me. Therefore, this assassination must be foolproof, with an absolutely meticulous plan.”

Upon hearing that Logan’s strength was above the Chief’s, everyone indeed became much more cautious.

Finally, after a night of discussion, he picked out a group of elites.

This night, almost no one slept, each with their own schemes.

However, as time inescapably passed, they reached the break of dawn.

Looking at the whitening of the dawn sky, the Chief’s face was indescribably eerie.

“The day has dawned.”

The selected warriors stood by, looking at each other, their expressions solemn.

“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

After a while, the Chief hinted with a meaningful curve of his lips, only leaving behind a sentence.

His clansmen also wore strange expressions, then cupped their hands in salute towards him.

Logan had already washed and dressed, and took the initiative to come looking for the Chief.

Unexpectedly, everything here was already arranged by the Chief, from the baggage to be carried to the people to accompany them.

“Young Master, you’ve arrived. I have also prepared everything on this end; we can set out now.”

Logan’s gaze swept over those muscular men, although he said nothing, his eyes hinted something meaningful.

The Chief’s eyelid twitched, and to avoid the other man discerning anything, he quickly explained.

“They are the brave warriors of our clan, specifically here to protect us.”

“Hmm.”

Logan casually responded with a hum, quickly averting his gaze as if he didn’t care much.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, the Chief felt somewhat displeased in his heart.

These were the elites of his clan, yet they seemed to be beneath the other man’s notice.

But it was just a dead man, after all, there was no need to take the other’s judgment seriously.

The Chief consoled himself with these thoughts and, thinking of the grim fate awaiting this man, he felt slightly better, and his expression softened.

“Young Master Logan, if there is nothing else, shall we set off? Picking fruits is something best done as early as possible!”

He urged casually, not sounding overly hasty.

Logan sized up the man from head to toe, noting nothing amiss, and given the truth in his words, he softly nodded and agreed with a quiet word.

“Good.”

The group quickly set out.

On the road, the Chief signaled to the elite warriors, and they exchanged glances with each other.

But in the midst of exchanging looks, Logan ahead suddenly stopped, standing like an unmovable mountain before them, the feeling of oppression was palpable.

It further soured the mood of the Chief, who already had guilt in his heart.

For a moment, he even thought the man before him had uncovered their conspiracy.
