Deities: Starting From Goblins
Chapter 1277 - Chapter 1277 Chapter 702 Kyushu_2

Chapter 1277: Chapter 702: Kyushu_2 Chapter 1277: Chapter 702: Kyushu_2 “But Sheron Perri, we can’t just keep waiting like this, can we?” a member of the sect couldn’t help but speak again, his tone filled with helplessness and anxiety.

Sheron Perri glanced at him, pondering inwardly. He knew that he had to give them a definite answer to completely stabilize their emotions. Thus, he slowly said, “Don’t worry, Lord Logan will be back soon. In the meantime, we can discuss our strategies and make adequate preparations. Once Lord Logan returns, we can take immediate action.”

Sheron Perri’s words somewhat reassured the sect members. They began to sit together and discuss matters concerning the Spirit World. However, although they were discussing verbally, all of them were anxiously waiting for Logan’s return in their hearts.

Sheron Perri watched everyone’s busy figures but couldn’t help feeling worried. He knew Logan was currently facing a huge challenge, and all he could do was try to buy time and wait for Logan’s return. However, as time passed, Sheron Perri’s anxiety grew heavier. He started to worry whether Logan could solve the problems smoothly, whether he could return on time.

“Lord Logan, when exactly can you come back?” Sheron Perri silently prayed in his heart, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and hope. He knew that only Logan’s return could truly solve the current issue and allow them to successfully journey to the Spirit World to fulfill their mission.

However, at this moment, Logan was deep inside the City Lord’s Mansion, engaged in tense negotiations with a mysterious figure. He was acutely aware of the great responsibility he carried and understood that Sheron Perri and the sect members were all waiting for him. But he was more aware that only by solving the current issue could he ensure smooth proceedings for their mission. Therefore, he could only temporarily set aside his worries for Sheron Perri and the sect members and fully immerse himself in the negotiations.

City Lord waits for Logan’s sudden appearance

——————–

At this moment, the atmosphere in the corridor of the City Lord’s Mansion was exceptionally tense. The City Lord stood at the door of Logan’s resting room, anxiously waiting. His gaze occasionally lingered on the door before looking into the distance, as if expecting something. The surrounding guards also held their breath, not daring to breathe loudly, fully aware that the calm concealed an unknown tension.

The City Lord’s heart was filled with worries. Logan’s power was far beyond theirs; he had easily concealed his aura, making it impossible for them to detect his exact movements. And now, Logan was standing resolutely in front of them, blocking their entry into the room, which made them very confused and uneasy.

“Why hasn’t the lord come out yet? We have important matters to discuss with him today!” a guard couldn’t help but break the silence, his tone full of urgency and helplessness.

“Indeed, Lord, are you in there? We really have urgent matters to report!” another guard echoed, his eyes revealing a hint of concern.

Listening to the guards’ words, the City Lord’s anxiety grew even greater. He knew what Logan’s seclusion meant for the entire City Lord’s Mansion. If they could not make contact with Logan in time, the subsequent plans might be completely disrupted.

After hesitating for a moment, the City Lord finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and slowly walked toward the door, preparing to open it himself and check the situation. However, just as he was about to touch the door, it suddenly opened from the inside.

This sudden change startled the City Lord. He instinctively stepped back, his body trembling slightly. At the same time, the scene inside the room also came into his view.

Logan stood in the center of the room, his expression calm and profound, as though he had just undergone an intense inner struggle. His eyes conveyed a firmness and determination that involuntarily inspired awe in those around him.

“City Lord, you have come,” Logan’s voice was calm and powerful, as if he had anticipated the arrival of the City Lord and his guards.

The City Lord, looking at Logan before him, felt most of his anxiety dissipate in an instant. He took a deep breath and slowly said, “Lord Logan, we have finally awaited your presence. We have matters to discuss with you.”

Logan nodded slightly, gesturing for the City Lord and his guards to enter the room. With the closing of the door, a quiet discussion about the future fate of the City Lord’s Mansion began. In this discussion, Logan would once again demonstrate his transcendent wisdom and strength, leading the City Lord and his guards toward an unknown tomorrow.

Logan’s interrogation and the City Lord’s panic

Outside a secret room in the City Lord’s Mansion, Logan stood atop the tall steps, looking down from above at the City Lord below. His gaze became exceptionally piercing, as if capable of discerning the deepest secrets of the heart. The City Lord stood below, overwhelmed by Logan’s aura, gasping for breath as he looked up at Logan, his heart filled with trepidation and unease.

“What were you doing just now?” Logan’s voice was calm and deep, yet carried an undeniable authority. He stared intently at the City Lord, as if trying to see through his soul.

Upon hearing this, the City Lord tightened, quickly explaining, “My lord, I thought you were not in the room, so out of curiosity, I wanted to take a look. I didn’t expect that you would come out at this moment, it is… truly coincidental.” The City Lord’s voice trembled slightly, obviously trying to mask his panic.

Logan listened to the City Lord’s explanation, his expression unchanging. He slowly raised his right hand, his fingers lightly hooked as if signaling the City Lord to come a bit closer. However, just as the City Lord took a step forward to approach Logan, Logan suddenly swung his hand back.

“Smack!” A crisp sound echoed through the air. Logan’s palm flashed like lightning, striking the City Lord’s face. The City Lord felt an immense force, his body instantly losing balance, turning in mid-air like a leaf blown by a fierce wind.

Yet, at this critical moment, the City Lord miraculously regained his posture. He adjusted his stance in mid-air and, the next second, landed smoothly on the ground. Although the warmth of Logan’s palm lingered on his face, the City Lord dared not show the slightest negligence. He quickly knelt on the ground, head bowed, not daring to look directly into Logan’s eyes.

“My lord, I… I am wrong. I should not have acted on my own, please forgive me.” The City Lord’s voice trembled, filled with fear and remorse. He knew that his actions had angered Logan, and that swift forgiveness was crucial to avoid dire consequences.

Logan looked down at the miserable figure of the City Lord, his anger slightly subsided. He slowly walked over to the City Lord, crouched down, and met his gaze. “City Lord, you should know that my patience is limited. I do not want a next time, understood?” Logan’s voice was calm, but the threat within it was clear.

The City Lord nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood Logan’s meaning. “My lord, I… I understand. I will be cautious in my actions in the future, never to repeat this mistake.” After speaking, the City Lord deeply bowed his head, showing his sincerity and repentance.

Logan, seeing the City Lord’s earnest demeanor, felt his anger completely dissipate. He stood up, patted the City Lord on the shoulder, and signaled him to stand as well. “All right, City Lord. Let this matter pass. However, you must remember, as the owner of the City Lord’s Mansion, every decision you make affects the safety of the entire mansion. You must consider carefully before acting in the future.” Logan’s speech carried a weighty and earnest tone, clearly reminding the City Lord to be more cautious in the future.
