Chapter 1376: Chapter 752: Lies Chapter 1376: Chapter 752: Lies “Big Brother, Big Brother, are you lying to us, are you deceiving us?” Abigail Mitchell's voice carried a tremor, tears swirling in her eyes. She clung tightly to Richard Mitchell's clothes, as if grasping at the last straw, “How could this be possible, no, I refuse to believe, I just can't!”
Richard Mitchell looked at her obstinate expression and felt a surge of nameless anger. He pushed away her hand that was clutching his clothes, his tone already impatient: “Abigail Mitchell, stop making a fuss! Whether you like it or not, this is the reality, a reality you must accept!”
Being pushed away, Abigail Mitchell stumbled a few steps, nearly falling over. She stared at Richard Mitchell with eyes full of disbelief: “Big Brother, how can you treat me like this? How can you be so heartless?”
Richard Mitchell took a deep breath, striving to calm himself. He knew that now was not the time for sentimentality; they had to think of every possible way to survive: “Abigail Mitchell, if you don't want to die, beg Young Master Logan with me. Perhaps if he takes pity, he will save us this time. Otherwise, we can only await death!”
Abigail Mitchell stood there, seemingly struck by a great blow. Her gaze was hollow and spiritless; it took a long time for her to come back to herself. She could not accept this cruel reality, could not come to terms with the imminent threat of death.
After a long while, Abigail Mitchell finally came back to her senses. Seeing the pleading look in Richard Mitchell's eyes, a wave of inexplicable courage rose within her. She knew she couldn't just give up and had to fight for survival.
Thus, she also began to plead: “Young Master Logan, I was blind before and offended you. I beg for your magnanimity, please do not hold a grudge against me. Save us this time, I don't want to die, I really don't want to!”
As she said this, she knelt down and begged for mercy. Her voice carried a sob, sounding particularly mournful.
Seeing this, Richard Mitchell also hurriedly knelt down and continued pleading: “Young Master Logan, I beg you to save my sister and me. We don't want to die, we'll do anything as long as we don't have to die here.”
Young Master Logan stood there quietly, watching the two of them begging and kowtowing, a complex expression flickering across his eyes. He didn't immediately agree, nor did he refuse, just silently considering something.
Abigail and Richard Mitchell were extremely anxious, not knowing whether Young Master Logan would save them. They could only continue kowtowing and begging, hoping Young Master Logan's heart would soften, giving them a sliver of hope for survival.
The others looked at Richard Mitchell and Abigail Mitchell, their eyes filled with plea and helplessness, as though at this moment, Logan became their only lifeline. Eventually, everyone's pleading gazes converged on Logan, the air heavy with a suffocating and tense atmosphere.
Sweat beaded on Richard Mitchell's forehead as he nervously swallowed, aware that Logan, known for his cold and stern nature, might not be moved by coercion or temptation. After all, Logan was not someone easily swayed by external factors.
However, these people were merely seeking help for survival, their intentions neither insincere nor threatening. Their eyes revealed a pure desire to live, an infinite longing for life.
Logan couldn't just ignore them; he was not heartless. Watching them, some complex thoughts passing through his mind as his gaze grew complicated, he fell into a silent contemplation, possibly weighing options or recalling past experiences.
Seeing no reaction from the other side, Richard Mitchell's heart skipped a beat, beginning to worry that Logan might reject their plea. Biting his lip, he decided to plead once more: “Young Master Logan, we will surely make amends for our previous transgressions. This time, we only hope you would save us. For the mere sake of a human life, please show mercy and give us a chance.”
Abigail Mitchell also hurriedly echoed: “Young Master Logan, my brother is right, we truly realize our mistake. If you are willing to save us, we will follow your lead in the future, never daring to offend again.”
The others also started speaking, each begging Logan. Their voices trembled, betraying their fear of death and their desperation to live.
Finally, Logan looked at them thoughtfully for a moment, having already made up his mind. He took a deep breath and then slowly spoke: “Fine, I'll save you. But remember, I'm doing this not because of your pleas, but because I don't want to see innocent lives perish like this. In the future, you'd better treasure your own lives and not take unnecessary risks.”
Hearing Logan's words, joy of having survived a catastrophe spread across everyone's faces. They nodded repeatedly, looking at Logan with gratitude, as if at that moment, Logan had become a hero in their hearts. Richard and Abigail Mitchell were especially moved to tears, knowing they had been pulled back from the brink of death.
Hearing this unexpected news, the people seemed as if struck by a sudden thunderbolt, their faces a mix of shock and disbelief. Their eyes widened, mouths slightly agape, finding it hard to come back to reality.
“Lo… Young Master Logan, have you agreed? Have you really agreed?” Abigail Mitchell was the first to react, her voice trembling, eyes sparkling with disbelief. She clung tightly to Logan's sleeve, fearful that this was just a dream, terrified that Logan might suddenly change his mind.
