“I know, I know how important this is to the family clan. I'll figure something out. Rushing me won't help. Do you think I'm not anxious?”
The servant saw the anxiety on his face and finally shut his mouth without saying more.
The young master closed his eyes for a moment, then looked up again toward private box number three.
In the end, it seemed that he had made a decision, grasping his hand, a resolute look gradually filled his eyes.
“Butler, have a few men keep a close watch on private box number three, and the instant someone comes out, inform me immediately. No matter the cost, we must get our hands on the Dragon Blood,” he ordered.
The butler detected the underlying meaning in his words, his eyelids twitched and, without saying a second word, he nodded in agreement.
“Very well.”
Logan sat for a while longer, uninterested in the upcoming auction items.
After the auction ended, he didn't make another move.
Many who had been waiting to witness the depth of the third private box's pockets were greatly disappointed.
They had wanted to see if this person would bid again, and if they had any money left.
Unfortunately, the person in question did not call out another bid, leading many to feel that he did not live up to his reputation.
But regardless of what these people thought, the Dragon Blood was indeed in his possession.
After securing it, Logan quickly left the auction house through the back door.
However, not long after departing, when passing through a secluded alley, he suddenly stopped, his gaze shifting to his rear as his expression turned sharp.
“Come out. If you've had the guts to follow me, then have the courage to stand for your actions. What kind of spirit is it to skulk around in the shadows?” he demanded.
A silence lingered in the air for a moment before, after a short while, several shadows emerged.
It was the young master with his servant, and several of his henchmen.
Logan narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing these people carefully.
He quickly discerned their roles of master and servant, mainly focusing on the young master.
“Who are you? What is the purpose of following me?” he inquired.
The young master glanced at the butler, then at his henchmen, and after carefully considering his words, he stepped forward.
Yet his eyes did not carry much coercion, as he instead bowed his hands towards Logan.
“Greetings, young hero. I am Emily Wright of the Wright Family. We have had to follow you under compelling circumstances, and it is indeed out of the need for the Dragon Blood in your possession,” he said.
His gaze briefly fell upon Logan's storage bag, not concealing his intentions as he stated them plainly.
“What, to the highest bidder? I bought the Dragon Blood openly and rightfully. What do you mean by following me now? Could it be you wish to steal it?” Logan asked pointedly.
The color drained from Emily Wright's face, a hint of something flashing through her eyes.
Quickly, he shook his head, trying to appear amiable.
“No, no, you misunderstand. Esteemed sir, our presence at the auction was solely for the Dragon Blood, but regrettably, the sum we prepared was not enough to secure it, allowing you to acquire it instead. This Dragon Blood is of utmost importance to us. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it; we are ready to pay the same price you did, ensuring you incur no loss,” Emily Wright implored.
Seeing that they weren't making an outright robbery, Logan's expression softened a bit, at least willing to discuss terms with them.
If they had resorted to underhanded tactics, he would have resorted to slaughter without hesitation.
Logan looked at his storage bag, his expression far from hospitable.
“The same price, you say? If I acquired Dragon Blood for that amount, then clearly its value surpasses the sum to me. Don't you understand that?” Logan argued, raising an eyebrow, a hint of stubbornness in his gaze.
He spoke the truth, and at his words, the expressions of the viewers tightened.
Then the man dressed as a butler stepped forward, not with coercion, but to assert his identity.
“Sir, we are from the Wright Family. The item is truly important to us. If you would be willing to relinquish it, consider it a favor owed by Emily Wright to you. In the future, it could be of great significance,” he proposed.
The Wright Family–if an ordinary person heard this name, they would not dare oppose them, and would immediately offer the item with both hands.
Unfortunately for them, Logan was no ordinary person, nor had he heard of the Wright Family's renown.
Unaware of their prowess, he felt no awe or reverence.
He would not grant anyone face who did not deserve it.
“The Wright Family? I apologize, but I am somewhat uninformed. I'm unfamiliar with any Wright Family, and I don't see how owing me a favor would be of any benefit. All I know is that the Dragon Blood is of great importance to me, and I'm not satisfied with your offer. If you can't satisfy me, then I can't give you the Dragon Blood,” Logan declared firmly.
Upon hearing this, the visages of the Wright Family members subtly shifted.
They seemingly did not expect someone to be unaware of their family, or to deny them face so blatantly.
Indeed, they harbored the notion of using their family's influence to intimidate.
Exchanging a favor for Dragon Blood would be beneficial without harm.
Regrettably, this youngster wasn't playing along, nor was he swayed by their proposal.
If it weren't a last resort, they wouldn't want to resort to violence.
But at this moment, they found themselves at an impasse, the atmosphere between them growing tense.
At that time, the aristocratic family that had previously sought revenge on Logan happened to pass by. They recognized Logan and also the prestigious Wright Family.
“So it's Emily Wright of the Wright Family. I didn't expect to see you here. What's the matter, has this young man offended you so that you must confront him with such a group? Do you require assistance?”
