Chapter 1088: Chapter 608: Accumulating Thunder Mountain Chapter 1088: Chapter 608: Accumulating Thunder Mountain “Young Master Logan, I'm going to see my father in a moment, and I'd like you to come with me to meet him. It just so happens that all of the members of our clan are present, and it would be a good opportunity for everyone to get to know you. You might even turn out to be a great benefactor to our family.”
If the other party agreed to take out the Dragon Blood, then he would indeed be a great benefactor.
Logan slightly tilted his chin upward, noncommittal to the proposition, even when he heard that he was to meet the head of the Wright Family, his expression remained indifferent.
Oliver Wright observed all of this, becoming even more curious about Logan's background.
Was this man feigning indifference, or was he truly aloof?
It was one thing to be like this with a peer, but to maintain such composure in the face of his father, regardless of the possibility, suggested an extraordinary temperament.
Oliver respected him a bit more because of this and led him into the main hall.
As soon as he entered, he heard his father's authoritative voice.
“Oliver, you're back. How did it go with the task I gave you?”
Oliver bowed to the man with a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes.
“Forgive me, Father, I am incompetent and did not bring back the Dragon Blood.”
“What? Now is the time when our family is in dire need of the Dragon Blood, how can you be so useless?”
Oliver did not dare to retort, only knelt on the ground with his head lowered.
His father's face was a mix of anger and concern.
As he approached, he caught sight of Logan standing by Oliver's side, and his gaze narrowed slightly.
“And who might this be…”
Oliver immediately stood up to introduce him to his father.
“Father, this is Young Master Logan, and at the same time, he is the one who obtained the Dragon Blood at the auction.”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this last sentence, the father finally showed some interest.
“So you are the one who acquired the Dragon Blood. I didn't expect you, Young Master Logan, to be so young and yet so wealthy. Oliver, what brings Young Master Logan to our Wright Family?”
Oliver glanced at Logan, then back at his father.
He carefully chose his words before speaking.
“Father, I am aware of the difficulties the Wright Family is currently facing, so I asked Young Master Logan for help. We can buy the item with an appropriate sum of money, but Young Master Logan does not trust our family's affairs and wanted to come here to see for himself. I took the initiative without your consent, and for that, I ask for punishment.”
Having heard this, the Wright Family Patriarch understood the implication.
He looked at his son, not too reproachful, then turned his gaze to Logan.
“Young Master Logan is indeed no ordinary person. It's the first time I've heard someone make such a request. However, if you are willing to assist the Wright Family, in the future you will be our honored guest, and we will always remember this favor. We will be eternally grateful to you.”
The other party had not been aggressive but rather treated him courteously, also reflecting a request from Logan.
Logan, seeing their attitude relatively acceptable, developed further interest in continuing the conversation.
He looked toward the Wright Family Patriarch, with a faintly narrowed gaze, wearing an odd expression.
After a moment, he spoke.
“Ugly words up front, even if it's proven your claims are true, I still may not give you the item. Can you agree to that?”
“That…”
The Wright Patriarch actually fell silent, showing a hint of hesitation.
Oliver, hearing this, wore a worried and profound expression on his face.
In the end, the Wright Family Patriarch let out a long sigh and spoke.
“If Young Master Logan truly doesn't wish to part with it, then perhaps it's simply the fate of our Wright Family. We won't force it, but we will attempt to convince you with all the benefits at our disposal. I believe there must be a way to persuade you.”
Logan curved his lips slightly, neither confirming nor denying the words, his expression mocking.
He then bowed slightly to the person in front of him.
“In that case, Elder, would you mind showing me your weapon?”
The Wright Family Patriarch hesitated only briefly before he took up the topic.
“All right.”
Under the Wright Family Patriarch's lead, they headed to the Wright Family's forging area.
Once inside, they found many people, almost all members of the Wright Family.
Seeing the Wright Family Patriarch and Oliver, everyone greeted them, especially looking at Oliver as if they saw a lifeline.
“Oliver, you're back. Did you manage to get the Dragon Blood?”
Oliver shook his head.
Seeing this, everyone was filled with disappointment and couldn't hide their concern.
“How can that be? Without the Dragon Blood, our weapon can never be repaired. It is a fatal blow to our entire Wright Family.”
Heads drooped in despair for a while, then someone noticed something amiss.
“Eh? Who is that person? This is a sensitive area of the Wright Family; outsiders are not allowed. Family Head, you know the rules of our house well. How can you casually bring an outsider into the Artifact Refining Pavilion like this?”
Someone noticed Logan and knew he wasn't from the Wright Family.
Thus, they scolded.
The Wright Family Patriarch gave that person an authoritative look, and instantly, they fell silent.
“I brought this man here for a reason of my own. If anyone has objections, they can leave. Do you really think that as the Family Head, I need to seek approval from others for my decisions?”
The pressure of his authority emanated out, full-blown.
With that, everyone calmed down, and no one dared to say more.
Seeing this, Logan's gaze flickered slightly, but he remained silent.
Oliver walked over to Logan, patted his shoulder in a comforting manner.
“Young Master Logan, please don't mind it. The one who spoke just now is my third brother. He has always been like that–direct and impulsive. Please don't take it to heart or hold it against him.”
