Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 933: Chapter 533: King of the Rally Point_2

Logan held Little Flower in his arms and descended from mid-air to the ground.

He then took one step at a time until he was standing in front of the Fifth Elder, looking down from above.

As if looking at some trash.

“What, you think your little secret technique is something great? There are plenty of spells in the world, ever heard of one thing suppressing another?”

“You’ve already been locked by my array, and you still dream of escaping? Believe it or not, even if you ran to the ends of the earth, I could still find you!”

The Fifth Elder believed, or rather, he had no choice but to believe.

After all, the facts were right in front of him; Logan had caught up with him so quickly.

Even using secret techniques and all his strength to escape, this Logan could still catch up and precisely locate him.

Could it be that during their fight, he really had been marked with some tracking?

Just thinking about this possibility made the Fifth Elder clench his teeth in anger.

Logan looked at him coldly.

“It seems you’re not very honest. I’ve never liked deceitful people. Since you’re full of bad intentions, I can’t be bothered to keep you around. I originally planned to extract some information from you, but now I don’t see the need.”

After speaking, the spiritual energy in his hand transformed into a blade, the sharp edge pointed directly at him.

The Fifth Elder swallowed hard, trembling with fear as he met Logan’s chill gaze.

“You, you’re not joking, are you? You really want to kill me?”

Logan didn’t speak, but took step by step closer.

Little Flower’s vines played their part at this moment, binding the Fifth Elder and preventing him from using his remaining strength.

The Fifth Elder panicked, his face turning from flustered to horrified.

In the end, he had no choice but to beg for mercy.

“Please, don’t kill me. I promise I won’t run anymore. Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you. I can be your slave, anything. I realize my mistake; please don’t kill me!”

This time Logan didn’t give him any time to recover, directly questioning him with a harsh tone.

“Speak, who exactly are you? What’s your purpose for following me, and when did you find out I had the Furnace Cauldron? Tell me everything, and don’t think about tricking me. I will investigate, and if I find out even one word of your story is a lie, I will kill you right away!”

Perhaps it was the undisguised intent to kill in Logan’s eyes that frightened him.

Having been caught over and over again, the Fifth Elder dared not doubt his power.

Nor did he dare to doubt this man’s ruthlessness.

After all, this man had previously killed members of the Johnson branch Family, slitting throats with swift finality.

With such a precedent, it seemed likely that he would not hesitate to act similarly now.

The Fifth Elder didn’t want to die, not here, not in any way.

However, faced with Logan’s pressing questions, an unusual look flickered in his eyes.

About what he knew, he could actually choose what to say selectively.

Of course, the Fifth Elder wouldn’t admit his greed nor would he put himself in a position of dominance.

He did want to explain, but more than that, he wanted to absolve himself from blame.

His thoughts spun in his mind, and after choosing his words carefully, he nervously spoke.

“I dare not deceive Young Master Logan. I… I am from the Johnson Family, the Fifth Elder.”

This was something almost all the Elders knew, and he could not conceal it.

Plus, with his face being one that any member of the Johnson Family would recognize,

it would be better to come clean now rather than waiting for Logan to catch him and then have to identify him during a visit to the Johnson Family Clan, which would bring him shame.

“The Johnson Family, of course. It’s them again.”

Actually, Logan had already guessed as much.

After all, he had just killed Keth Johnson and crippled Lord Johnson.

The Johnson Family, being a large clan, had all the reason to seek revenge against him. It was simply expected.

But learning the identity of this person still surprised Logan a bit.

It turned out not to be some servant of the Johnson Family, but the esteemed Fifth Elder.

The Elder, in the whole Family Clan, holds quite a high position.

No wonder, this person possessed the strength of the Saint Seat Seventh Level, indeed not a common person.

“The Johnson Family seems to take me very seriously, to actually send an Elder to assassinate me. Then, what’s the deal with my Furnace Cauldron, when did you take a fancy to it and harbor thoughts of seizing it?”

Knowing that a misstep could offend Logan, the Fifth Elder spoke with utmost caution.

“I—this is also because the Family Clan ordered me to monitor you. It was during that time that I inadvertently saw you using the Furnace Cauldron. As an Elder of the Johnson Family, I have a bit of discernment for extraordinary items. I recognized the exceptional nature of your Furnace Cauldron at a glance and informed the family. All this was directed by members of the Family Clan; they ordered me to take your Furnace Cauldron and to kill you along the way. I was just following orders; none of this originated from my own intentions. I beg you, Young Master, to spare my life.”

In order to save his own life, the Fifth Elder certainly couldn’t reveal his own motives.

Therefore, he shifted all the blame onto the Johnson Family Clan, pushing all responsibility onto the clan.

Furthermore, if Logan were to become angry and decide to trouble the entire clan, it wouldn’t be such a simple matter, nor could it be resolved overnight.

The clan had so many members that Logan alone couldn’t do much to them.

Unlike himself, he was currently alone and no match for Logan; naturally, he had to plan in advance for such situations, making sure to absolve himself completely.

“The Johnson Family, laughable. If the Johnson Family truly planned to go after my Furnace Cauldron, they wouldn’t have specifically lured me to such a remote place, nor would they have set such a trap. I think it was your own greed that led you to try and seize the treasure behind the family’s back. Apart from you, I haven’t seen anyone else.”

Sure enough, Logan’s accidental guess had hit upon the real truth.

The Fifth Elder’s eyes flashed, clearly revealing a flicker of guilt.

Though it vanished in an instant, it did not escape Logan’s notice.

He hooked his lips, looking somewhat mocking.

“It seems that what I said is true. So, this is not merely a grudge between the Johnson Family and me. You, too, have a grudge with me.”

The Fifth Elder, not expecting to be exposed, was greatly shocked and hastily retreated.

“No, it’s not like that. All this was the family’s instruction. I never intended to move against you myself.”

Logan did not believe him and was stepping closer to the Fifth Elder step by step.

At his wit’s end, the Fifth Elder used various methods to attack, but Logan easily neutralized them all. To him, those methods were like child’s play, presenting no trouble whatsoever.

This dealt a considerable blow to the Fifth Elder’s pride.

He was of the Saint Seat Seventh Level, what kind of monster was this that could suppress him to such an extent?

The Fifth Elder had never suffered such humiliation or felt so powerless before.

“It started with you planning to kill me; now being killed in return seems fair, doesn’t it?”

Once again, he flew up into the air, forming an Array.

Unlike the previous protective Array, this time it was a Killing Array.

The Fifth Elder felt an intense murderous aura emanating from the Array, clearly not something ordinary, which made one shudder with fear.

“No, don’t kill me. I am the Fifth Elder of the Johnson Family. Almost all members of the Johnson Family know that I am tracking you. If anything happens to me, they certainly won’t let you off; they will definitely lay the blame on you!”

Seeing that pleading was useless, the Fifth Elder tried to intimidate him with a tough attitude.

Logan remained silent.

Thinking that he had wavered, the Fifth Elder spoke even more vigorously.

“If you let me go, I can pretend none of today’s events happened. I won’t report you, and as for the secret of your Furnace Cauldron, I will not tell anyone. I can swear to the Heavenly Dao!”

But in reality, Logan had not changed his mind at all. His momentary silence had been him considering how to deal with the Fifth Elder’s body eventually.

As he had said, the Johnson Family would not let him go.

So when killing, it was equally important to handle the aftermath well, not to leave anything the Johnson Family could use against him.

If the Fifth Elder knew the other’s thoughts, he might regret ever provoking him, provoking such a God of Slaughter.

But just then, a clear and spirited voice came through his consciousness.

“Wait a moment.”
