Chapter 1361: Chapter 744: Mitchell Family_2 Chapter 1361: Chapter 744: Mitchell Family_2 Just at this critical moment, another group of people appeared. It was Richard Mitchell and his companions. They had been observing Logan's actions from a distance and did not expect to witness such a scene.
“Logan, what are you doing? This Ice Spiritual Beast is not easy to provoke!” Richard Mitchell shouted loudly, feeling somewhat surprised that Logan would actually engage in combat with the Ice Spiritual Beast.
Upon hearing this, Logan did not turn his head and shouted back, “I'm picking Spiritual Medicine! Aren't you guys looking for it too? I found this Spiritual Medicine first!”
Upon hearing this, Richard Mitchell's heart tensed. He did not expect Logan to be so direct in his response. He looked at his sisters beside him and then at the fierce Ice Spiritual Beast, mentally calculating what to do.
Just then, the Ice Spiritual Beast seemed to notice the presence of Richard Mitchell's group, roared furiously, and charged at them. Seeing this, Logan felt a surge of excitement, knowing this was his chance, so he took the opportunity to rush towards the Spiritual Medicine, ready to pluck it.
Logan glimpsed them from the corner of his eye, his eyebrows slightly furrowed as he muttered to himself, “Why does it have to be at this time, coincidentally running into these people. Are they here to compete for the Spiritual Medicine with me?” He became wary, but his actions did not stop as he continued to fiercely fight the Ice Spiritual Beast.
Those people, upon looking up, naturally spotted Logan fighting. Gacy Mitchell's eyes lit up, and he immediately recognized Logan, pointing in Logan's direction and excitedly shouting, “It's him, look! The person we encountered in the cave before. Heh, he was quite arrogant before, wasn't he? Didn't expect him to be so unlucky, running into the Companion Beast of this Spiritual Medicine and fighting with it.”
Nancy Mitchell also recognized Logan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, followed by a schadenfreude smirk, “Hmph, he has his days too, watching his proud demeanor before, now he's still being chased everywhere by the Companion Beast.”
Another woman, Rain Mitchell, spoke at this moment, her voice carrying a mix of urgency and excitement, “Big brother, what are we waiting for? This is our chance! Weren't we worried about the Companion Beast initially? Now someone has taken the trouble for us, drawing that Demonic Beast away. This is the perfect time to get the Spiritual Medicine, if we don't act now, it will be snatched away by him!”
Hearing this, Richard Mitchell's brows furrowed tightly. Watching Logan intensely fighting with the Ice Spiritual Beast, he hesitated. He knew taking advantage of others wasn't their style, but the temptation of the Spiritual Medicine was too great, they had already invested too much for it.
“But, wouldn't it be unethical?” Richard Mitchell hesitated to say.
Yet Gacy Mitchell hurried him, “Big brother, what are you hesitating for? This is a rare opportunity! We simply can't sit by and watch the Spiritual Medicine be taken away by someone else, right? Besides, he did compete with us for the cave before too, this can be considered reciprocating.”
Nancy Mitchell and Rain Mitchell also nodded in agreement, their eyes gleaming with greed and anticipation. Richard Mitchell sighed internally, knowing he could no longer stop them.
At this moment, the Ice Spiritual Beast seemed to have noticed the presence of Richard Mitchell's group, roared again, and charged towards them. Seeing this, Logan felt cheered, knowing this was his opportunity and thus he intensified his attack on the Ice Spiritual Beast, trying to quickly resolve this nuisance.
However, Richard Mitchell's group was not intimidated; they each cast their spells and engaged in a standoff with the Ice Spiritual Beast. A battle over the Spiritual Medicine thus unfolded atop Snow Mountain.
“Yeah, we have an idiot who diverted the Companion Beast's attention, what are we waiting for? Let's quickly take the Spiritual Medicine and leave. Thought this time we were in for a big fight, didn't expect to luck out like this. Big brother, this is an exceptional opportunity!”
Everyone began to urge on vehemently, their voices rising and falling like the tides, all pushing towards Richard Mitchell.
“Big brother, what are we waiting for? Take action now! The Spiritual Medicine is right in front of us, we can't let it slip away!” Gacy Mitchell was so anxious that he was jumping up and down, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes shimmering with greedy light.
“Yes, big brother, this is a rare opportunity. Logan is currently evenly matched with the Companion Beast, it's the perfect chance for us to take the Spiritual Medicine.” Nancy Mitchell echoed, her voice filled with excitement and anticipation.
“Big brother, don't hesitate anymore. We don't need to pay anything, we can easily get everything. Such a good opportunity, where else can we find it?” Rain Mitchell was straightforward, tugging at Richard Mitchell's sleeves, her eyes full of pleading.
Their idea was simple, which was to take advantage of the situation to get the Spiritual Medicine. When the time comes, Logan will suffer the hardships alone, and they will be the ones reaping the benefits. The idea of getting something for nothing filled their hearts with anticipation and greed.
Moreover, they might even wish for Logan to perish in this battle. That way, no one would know what they did, their reputation wouldn't have any flaws, and no problems would arise. They could enjoy the unearned fruits with peace of mind and no guilt.
Richard Mitchell was hesitant, his heart like turbulent waves, unable to calm down for a long time. He not only styled himself as a gentleman but was indeed a true gentleman. He knew well that taking advantage of others' misfortune was not what a gentleman would do, much less kicking someone when they are down.
“But, isn't this going too far? Logan is still a life after all.” Richard Mitchell murmured, his voice carrying a hint of hesitation and reluctance.
“Big brother, don't be foolish. On Snow Mountain, the law of the jungle is the iron rule. If we don't take the opportunity to take the Spiritual Medicine, won't Logan still take it after he deals with the Companion Beast?” Gacy Mitchell urged anxiously, trying to persuade Richard Mitchell.
“But, doing this, wouldn't it violate our conscience and morality?” Richard Mitchell countered, his voice firm and powerful.
“Big brother, don't be too naive. In the Cultivation World, can conscience and morality be eaten? Only strength is the real deal. If we get the Spiritual Medicine, our strength will greatly increase, who would dare to underestimate us then?” Nancy Mitchell also spoke up, her voice carrying a hint of coldness and realism.
The continuous urging from those around him put immense pressure on Richard Mitchell. He was acutely aware that every decision could affect his future and reputation. What should he do? Should he stick to his gentlemanly way, or yield to the will of the people and take advantage of the situation to get the Spiritual Medicine?
Richard Mitchell was filled with conflict and struggle internally, unsure of how to decide. He looked at Logan fiercely battling the Companion Beast, praying in his heart: “Logan, you must hold on! I, Richard Mitchell, will never do something that takes advantage of people's misfortune!”
“Big brother, what are you still waiting for? Hurry up and pick the Spiritual Medicine!” Gacy Mitchell urged impatiently, his eyes fixed on the precious Spiritual Medicine, as if he had already seen the scene of it falling into his own hands.
“Big brother, if we don't hurry up, it'll be too late,” Nancy Mitchell also joined the urging, “If we wait for that guy Logan to defeat the Companion Beast, it's still uncertain whose hands this thing will end up in. They're fighting hard, let's quickly sneak and pick the Spiritual Medicine? This is a once-in-lifetime opportunity!”
“If you're unwilling to pick it, then let me do it,” Rain Mitchell said with a determined face, “After all, the Spiritual Medicine definitely belongs to us, I won't miss such a great opportunity like you! If you can't make the move, then I will take action myself.”
Saying this, Rain Mitchell made a motion to rush up the mountain, looking eager to act.
Gacy Mitchell snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with his big brother's hesitation. He quickly ran up the mountain, his figure agile like a cheetah, and in a blink of an eye, he was almost close to the Spiritual Medicine.
