Chapter 972: Chapter 553: Ninth-Rank Prime Saint
The clan leader couldn’t fathom his thoughts and felt uneasy in his heart.
He thought that the other party might be hesitating or had started to consider his proposition.
So, he continued to shower him with flatteries, promising everything he could offer.
“If Young Master Logan, you are willing to help me, I am willing to offer up the most beautiful woman from my people and the gold, silver, and jewels you desire.”
Gold, silver, and jewels were of no concern to Logan.
He no longer lacked such worldly possessions; all he wanted now were Spirit Stones.
Seeing that Logan was unmoved, the clan leader panicked, glanced again at the disturbance nearby, and gritted his teeth to say.
“Young Master, just tell me what you really want? If it’s something I can provide, I will surely give it to you!”
He had always been wary of this branch elder, guarding against him in ordinary days.
Yet, he never expected that the elder would seize this opportunity to try and overthrow his position as clan leader.
Logan stroked his chin as if he was actually giving serious consideration to the conditions offered by the clan leader.
The clan leader’s eyes brightened.
He knew of Logan’s capabilities; with Logan’s assistance, the rebel army led by that branch elder would surely fail.
Unfortunately for the clan leader, Logan was not swayed by interest but was contemplating the rebel army.
One of the clan leader’s underlings had just mentioned some information, and the head of this branch seemed vaguely familiar to Logan, prompting him to think hard.
He had indeed seen him under the clan leader’s command and even came to negotiate with him.

The most memorable thing for him was that at the time, almost everyone was pressuring him to marry Jaya Vance, except that man did not coerce him aggressively; instead, he even asked the clan leader to clarify the situation of the affair.
In other words, if it wasn’t his problem, he couldn’t be forced to marry just anyone.
Unfortunately, his voice was too soft at the time, and it seemed that no one took heed.
Since that incident, Logan had paid extra attention to this man.
The clan leader would only protect his own people, not caring whether outsiders were right or wrong; as long as it preserved his position, he would guarantee theirs.
In contrast, this branch elder had the demeanor of a true clan leader.
He pursued realistic handling of affairs, seeking truth rather than covering his mistakes with lies.
In this light, that man seemed like a good person, and a fair one as well.
Moreover, Logan quite liked the banner that this man raised; the clan leader was not someone worthy of his position in the first place.
The man’s actions actually appeared correct, and Logan found himself quite in agreement.
It was a pity that he wasn’t one of the clan’s members; otherwise, he might have stood on the same side as him.
In the face of the clan leader, who was still extolling the virtues of his offer and simultaneously trying to bestow benefits upon himself, Logan dug at his ear, seemingly growing impatient.
“Have you finished? If you have, then scram. That man is actually quite decent; I think I’ve seen him before. He’s a good person. Let me give you a piece of advice: you should just relinquish your position as clan leader, you might even save your own skin. As for anything else, forget it; a person like you is destined to fail.”
Having said this, he stepped back and turned, intending to leave.
“I am leaving now; fend for yourself, as I won’t be helping you.”
“Wha, what, Young Master Logan, please don’t do this, don’t go!”
The clan leader didn’t expect that Logan would refuse to help and even turn to leave on the spot.
If even Logan didn’t support him, he really couldn’t think of any other candidates.
Finally, watching Logan’s adamant departure, he had no choice but to play his trump card.
“Logan, don’t you dare take another step, or your two companions will lose their lives. Do you want them to die?”
And at this moment, people under the clan leader’s command brought forward two individuals.
One looked like a child, dressed in pink with a tender and adorable appearance.
The other was an old man in grey robes, with a liquor flask at his waist and a flushed face, clearly drunk.
Who else could they be but Nineteen and Little White?
At first, Logan was worried about how they fell into the clan leader’s hands.
But upon a closer look, both seemed confused, as if it had just happened.
One wore an innocent and bewildered expression, while the other appeared completely inebriated.
Seeing no injuries on them, Logan breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the scene was not too dire.
He chuckled.
“How did you capture these two?”
The clan leader didn’t expect Logan to not only remain calm but even have the mood to laugh. Could it be that their relationship wasn’t that good?
No, it couldn’t be—the three of them lived and ate together. How could their relationship be poor? Maybe it was a smokescreen, feigning discord to deceive him, and then they would seize the chance to rescue them. He couldn’t fall for that.
After reassuring himself, the clan leader hardened his expression again.
“It’s unfortunate for you that your two accomplices are too weak; with just a little intimidation, they were caught by my men. It seems, no matter how strong you are, if your companions are useless, you are equally helpless. If you want your two companions to remain unharmed, you must help me this time!”
Logan, who had been waiting for the specifics, now completely let go of any concern.
Turns out, these two had simply been inattentive and hence got caught.
It couldn’t exactly be called being ‘caught,’ since they didn’t seem to care about resisting.
Nineteen was a case in point; even after being captured, he was leisurely, seemingly unworried about anything.
Even though he looked utterly drunk, he still theatrically pretended to call Logan for help.
“Apprentice, save me, ah! They’ve caught me; you better rescue me fast!”
