Chapter 1434: Chapter 780 Chapter 1434: Chapter 780 Logan, seeing that the two men seemed to be getting into the conversation, wore a humble smile on his face and said casually, “It was just an offhand question earlier, I hope you two brothers won't mind.” As he spoke, he pulled out a large handful of Spirit Stones from his bosom, which sparkled with tempting light under the reflection of the bonfire.
The moment they saw the Spirit Stones, both the tall and thin man and the short and fat man's eyes lit up, revealing an unconcealable greed. The Adam's apple of the tall and thin man moved involuntarily, his eyes fixated on that large handful of Spirit Stones. It has to be said that Logan's move was truly generous; those Spirit Stones must have amounted to at least three hundred, which equaled to their half-year's salary.
The short and fat man swallowed, his eyes full of surprise, and his smile became even more brilliant, “Ah, this brother is too polite, how can I accept this?” Though his mouth said this, his hands involuntarily reached out, wanting to take the Spirit Stones.
The tall and thin man was not to be outdone and quickly added, “That's right, brother, you are too extravagant. But since you are so warmhearted, it would seem too pretentious of us not to accept.” With that, he too extended his hand, and together with the short and fat man, they took the Spirit Stones, their smiles growing even deeper.
Seeing this, Logan still had a gentle smile on his face and said, “Don't be strangers, brothers. Consider this a little token of my appreciation for the advice. If I have the chance to join the Sect in the future, I'll surely rely a lot on you two brothers.”
With the Spirit Stones in hand, the tall and thin man and the short and fat man were overjoyed, nodding repeatedly, “Of course, of course. If you join the Sect in the future, just come to us for anything.”
Logan was internally satisfied, as the handful of Spirit Stones successfully made these two men feel favorable towards him. Next, it should be much easier to extract more information from them. At this moment, other people in the camp were still busy with their own tasks, the flames of the campfire dancing, as if adding power to Logan's plan. In Logan's eyes, there was a confident light flickering, considering his next move. After receiving the Spirit Stones, the attitudes of the tall and thin man and the short and fat man did a complete one-eighty. The tall and thin man's face was full of smiles, with a pleasing look in his eyes, he patted Logan on the shoulder.
The short and fat man also nodded repeatedly by his side, chiming in, “That's right, that's right, we're all our own people now. And to be honest, our Shingo Sect doesn't have any particularly outstanding capabilities. We just came to go through the motions, to join in the fun.” While he talked, he carefully tucked the Spirit Stones into his chest, as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.
Logan chuckled to himself, but still put on a sincere face and said, “You two brothers are too kind. It's just that I'm not very familiar with your Sect and this Mountain Range; I still have to ask you for more advice. For example, the matter of the Young Master being captured that you mentioned just now, what exactly is going on? Who are the powers interrogating him?”
The tall and thin man exchanged glances with the short and fat man. The tall and thin man hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up, “About that, it's a bit complicated. Our Young Master discovered something extraordinary in the Mountain Range this time, probably related to the whereabouts of the two Holy Seats and the Supreme Treasure of the Monster Beast Clan. As a result, the news leaked, and a few other major powers found out, and they joined forces to capture our Young Master.”
The short and fat man continued, “Among these powers are the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Mystic Spirit Pavilion, and the Blood Demon Hall; all of them are tough customers. They used quite a few means to get information from the Young Master, ah, poor Young Master…” He said, his face showing a trace of pity.
Logan frowned slightly, putting on a righteous indignation, “These people are too much! Is your Sect just watching the Young Master being tortured by them?”
The tall and thin man sighed helplessly, “Our Sect wants to save the Young Master as well, but those powers are too strong, we are no match for them. Plus, there seems to be some disagreement between our Sect Leader and some of the Elders, so the matter has been dragging on…”
Logan nodded his head, but his mind was racing. It seemed that the relationships involved were extremely complex, and rescuing Lowen Shingo would not be an easy task. However, he had already obtained quite a bit of useful information from these two men. Next, he would need to find a way to understand more about the situation. At this moment, the light of the campfire was fading, and the people at the camp were gradually falling into sleep, but Logan's eyes were still bright, twinkling with contemplative light in the dark.
The moonlight was gentle, softly showering over the temporarily erected campsite, with sporadic crackles from the dying embers of the campfire adding a unique atmosphere to the silent night. Logan sat casually by the campfire with the tall and thin man and the short and fat man, seemingly engaging in idle chatter, yet every uttered word held a deeper meaning.
Logan leaned forward slightly, his face showing an appropriate amount of curiosity and confusion, and whispered, “I'm just purely curious about what exactly happened within your Sect. This story sounds too bizarre; logically, your Sect should've kept the Young Master's situation a secret, right? How could so many powers know about it?”
The tall and thin man subconsciously looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention to them, lowered his voice to say, “Brother, this matter is a long story, and it's quite complicated. Our Young Master, he is a Talent with exceptional gifts; in the Sect, he is like the moon surrounded by stars, with everyone hoping he would lead the Sect to new glories.”
