Chapter 1374: Chapter 751: Conflict Chapter 1374: Chapter 751: Conflict Logan halted his stride, turned his head to look at Richard Mitchell, a touch of amusement flickering in his eyes. He spoke coldly, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you're some kind of treasure made of gold and silver? Why should I bother to save you? Your poisoning has nothing to do with me. I, Logan, have never been the Bodhisattva Guanyin, tasked with saving the suffering; I have no obligation to save you.”
Upon hearing this, Richard's face changed color. He hadn't expected Logan to be so resolute. Clenching his teeth, he continued, “Logan, if you leave like this, and something happens to us, our backing Family Clan will certainly not let you off! You may be formidable, but the strength of our Family Clan is not to be underestimated. By offending us, you're offending the entire Family Clan!”
Hearing this, Logan let out a sarcastic laugh, completely unconcerned by Richard's threats. Slowly he began to speak, his tone filled with mockery: “Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of your Family Clan? When I, Logan, take action, I never consider any Family Clan. If something truly happens to you, then you can only blame your own bad luck; no one else is at fault. Besides, it's not as if I'm the only one who can save you from the poison–there are plenty of doctors in the world. Why must you cling to me?”
Richard trembled with rage. He hadn't expected Logan to be so arrogant, to disregard them so completely. His eyes widened in fury, staring at Logan as if wishing to devour him alive. However, he knew full well that he was not a match for Logan at this moment, forced to watch helplessly as he walked away.
The others also stood up, equally resentful of Logan's resoluteness, yet knowing that now was not the time to pick a fight with him. They could only watch Logan's silhouette gradually fading into the Snow Mountain, their hearts filled with helplessness and anger. Meanwhile, Logan continued his journey, as if none of this had ever happened.
Unintimidated by such threats, a playful smile curled on Logan's lips as he coldly retorted, “So don't let go then. Do you really think I'm scared? No matter how powerful the Family Clan behind you is, what can they do to me? Let those behind you seek me out; in the end, that'll be your issue after death. If I can drag so many of you down to Hell with me, it seems like I'm actually gaining from it. I'm not at a loss!”
Richard's face turned ashen. He had never thought someone could be so shameless, so despicable. He had tried every tactic, threats, and bribes, coaxed and coerced, but still couldn't convince Logan. Logan was like a stubborn rock, impervious to any influence, causing Richard immense frustration.
On their side, they lacked both the people and the power to forcefully keep Logan. Watching Logan walk farther and farther away, Richard could no longer stay seated in calm. Panic-stricken, beads of sweat the size of beans formed on his forehead.
“Logan, wait!” Richard called out loudly, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and pleading, “You can't just leave like this. We've been poisoned–if you go, what will we do?”
Logan stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Richard, with a flicker of mockery in his eyes: “Your poisoning, what does it have to do with me? I am not your life-saving straw; why should I stay and save you? Find a way on your own, don't always rely on others.”
Upon hearing this, Richard, fuming, nearly spat blood. He hadn't expected Logan to be so resolute, so heartless. Biting his lip, he continued, “Logan, do you realize that if you leave, we might all die here. My status in the Family Clan is not ordinary; surely I will make a name for myself in the future. If I die here, do you realize the impact it will have on my Family Clan?”
At that, Logan just chuckled coldly: “Hmph, do you actually think I care about your Family Clan? What does your Family Clan have to do with me? When I, Logan, take action, I never consider any Family Clan. If you're truly afraid of dying, then you'd better hurry up and find a cure instead of always expecting me to save you.”
Hearing this, Richard's heart filled with helplessness and anger. He knew he was no match for Logan and could not force him to stay. But he didn't want to die here; he had an ambitious future he couldn't just abandon.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he then looked towards Logan, his tone carrying a hint of plea: “Logan, I beg you, please save us. If you do, we will be eternally grateful, and we will go out of our way to help you whenever you need it.”
Upon hearing this, Logan glanced at Richard, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He began to speak slowly, his voice full of sarcasm: “Hmph, you think I would believe your nonsense? You people, in your desperation to live, would say anything. I, Logan, have never needed anyone's gratitude or assistance. You'd do well to take your chances.”
After saying that, Logan turned and walked away, no longer sparing Richard a glance. Richard watched despairingly as Logan's silhouette disappeared into the Snow Mountain, overwhelmed with desolation and helplessness. He knew he had encountered an immovable object and could not persuade Logan to stay. But he genuinely didn't want to die here; what should he do?
Not just Richard, but even Abigail Mitchell found it difficult to accept the cruel reality before her. Her eyes wide with fear and despair, she watched as Logan's retreating figure disappeared, desperately tugging at Richard's sleeve, her voice breaking with a sob: “Big brother, think of something quickly, what are we going to do now? I don't want to die here, I really don't. I only came out to travel with you all, never imagining I'd end up staking my life on it.”
