I had thought that the other party would come up with an excuse, but unexpectedly, she actually nodded.
“Hmm, you’re the type who clings on stubbornly, indeed making you quite unappealing.”
Jaya Vance:…
If it weren’t for the need to maintain her facade, her entire face would probably have turned black.
After saying this, Logan turned and left without any hesitation.
Jaya grew even more furious.
She clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with reluctance and resentment.
Seeing her like this, the tribe leader sighed, but still followed up by advising Jaya.
“Jaya, the tribe leader advises you to let go sooner rather than later. A man like Logan isn’t someone you can control; he has made it clear he’s not interested in you. He’s a formidable person. Even if you can’t connect with him, don’t offend him. After all, even if you’ve had intimate relations, let the past be the past, forget about him.”
Upon hearing the tribe leader’s words, Jaya felt an even worse taste in her heart.
The way he phrased it, it was as if she was something cheap, which made her feel uncomfortable inside.
“Tribe leader, I understand.”
Her voiced response was sweet and delicate, but inwardly she had taken note of this grudge.
Afterward, she sought out Logan again, choosing a good evening to do so.
“What are you here for now?”
This time, Jaya had specially dressed in a gauzy, thin outfit, complemented by her charming face, looking exceptionally tempting.
“Young Master, don’t misunderstand. I’m not here to pester you, but to repay you for saving my life. I should at least offer you a toast; otherwise, it would be too heartless of me.”
She used the excuse of repaying her debt to get close to him, and her reason was not too far-fetched.
“Young Master, I just want to express my gratitude for saving my life; even that is not allowed? Rest assured, Young Master, after expressing my gratitude this time, I won’t bother you again. I only hope that you will allow me this sentiment, and I shall be completely satisfied.”
She looked up at him, her eyes unabashedly filled with hope, pitifully so.

It seemed as if she might burst into tears the next second if he rejected her.
Yet, Jaya’s request wasn’t excessive, it could even be considered humble.
Any person with a bit of conscience would probably find it hard to refuse.
Logan wasn’t heartless, and seeing her like this, he eventually relented and didn’t keep her out.
Silence meant consent. Jaya’s expression relaxed, and she joyfully brought in the food and drink.
“Thank you, Young Master, for giving me this opportunity. I cannot thank you enough.”
As she spoke, she presented the lunch box she had brought and opened it one by one in front of Logan.
“Young Master, I cooked these dishes myself. They may not be particularly delicious, but I hope you will taste them nonetheless. I also warmed up two pots of good wine, hoping to share a drink with you.”
After finishing, the dishes were laid out one by one on the table, and wine was poured into two cups.
“Young Master, please.”
Her actual attention, however, wasn’t on the food, but on the wine.
She had tampered with the wine a bit, while the dishes were actually fine.
“Young Master, why aren’t you drinking?”
Logan lifted his cup, then put it back down, suddenly picking up his chopsticks to take some food.
“The aroma of these dishes is interesting; let’s eat something first.”
Jaya Vance:…
At that moment, Jaya didn’t think much of it as he didn’t drink, believing it to be just his good luck.
Originally, making a few simple dishes was just to bluff, but unexpectedly, it disrupted her true intention.
She felt a bit unwilling and frustrated, and ended up drinking the wine she had offered by herself, sullenly.
But she was completely unaware that when she had downed the cup, Logan’s eyes suddenly became very deep and full of unspoken words.
His lips seemed to curl slightly, or maybe not; the smile was quickly suppressed.
When Jaya looked over, he appeared tranquil and unaffected.
As if nothing had changed, as if nothing had happened.
But in fact, Logan had seen through the trick from the start, so he hadn’t drunk the wine. He accidentally brushed against Jaya’s cup while picking up food, and slipped some poison onto it.
Jaya had already been poisoned when she drank the wine herself earlier.
But having just ingested it, it hadn’t taken effect yet.
Unaware of what had happened, Jaya was solely focused on how to get Logan to drink the wine in front of him.
“Young Master, what’s the fun in just eating? With the flowers and the moon, having a little drink adds to the charm. Let me accompany you.”
Since Logan had achieved his object, he wasn’t interested in humoring Jaya.
Upon hearing this, he merely smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
He pushed the wine cup back to her, nonchalantly.
“No need, I still have to find the tribe leader to get the Fruit of Life, I’m afraid I don’t have time to drink with you. You can drink alone.”
After saying this, he rose and left.
Before Jaya could react, he was already far away.
It was not an excuse; he did indeed find the tribe leader, who at this moment seemed to want to avoid him.
Logan noticed his reluctance but didn’t expose him; instead, he simply glanced at the tribe leader impassively.
“I presume a tribal chief like yourself would not go back on his word, would you? Otherwise, how would you maintain credibility in front of your tribespeople?”
With just a few words, Logan had hijacked morality, using it as leverage over the tribe leader from a moral high ground.
A flicker of hatred passed through the tribe leader’s eyes; he never expected the man before him to be so shameless.
“I know that Lord Logan you are in a hurry… it’s just that the Fruit of Life hasn’t fully ripened. If you would like to have a look with us, that’s possible.”
