The head of the Westman Family gritted his teeth and bit back his anger. The harsh reality proved that he was no match for Logan. If he continued to fight, he would definitely lose. However, if he surrendered, he would lose face entirely. This battle had already attracted many onlookers, a matter which affected the face and reputation of the entire Westman Family. He was stuck in a dilemma.

After much thought, he was forced to swallow his pride and give in. “Logan, we’ve come to know each other through this fight. There was indeed a misunderstanding before. Let’s put all this behind us and not dwell on it anymore. The Westman Family will enforce strict discipline from now on, ensuring that its younger generations won’t act arrogantly.”

He believed that since he had already taken a step back, Logan would definitely give him face and stop here. After all, as a dominator, if Logan insisted on continuing the fight, even if Logan won, it would be a hard-earned victory. Plus, the Westman Family had endless resources and had nurtured thousands of experts.

“I disagree. It was you who insisted on starting this fight. Now when you’re at a disadvantage, you say it was a misunderstanding? Isn’t that a bit too self-serving? Whether to continue the fight or not is now up to me. If the Westman Family had offered 20,000 Spirit Stones earlier, it might not have come to this.”

To his surprise, Logan gave a frosty smile and flatly rejected the head of the Westman Family, refusing to give him any face. He wanted the head of the Westman Family to beg for mercy. Only then could the past conflict be put to rest.

The head of the Westman Family was stunned. He had already bowed his head, yet Logan remained dominating and powerful. Could it be that Logan really intended to fight till the end with the Westman Family? For a moment, his anger soared, but then it suddenly quieted down. He was naturally unable to quarrel with Logan as he was no match for him. Otherwise, if they continued to fight, he wouldn’t be able to even save the last bit of his dignity.

Therefore, he forced a smile and continued, “Logan, you are indeed talented and promising. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an excellent young man. This really comforts me. Although you’re still lacking a bit in the Realm of Cultivation, you’ve already caught up to my level back in the day. I can see that you will truly achieve something great in the future.”

This boastful speech made Logan chuckle. Just as he was about to retort, a divine consciousness transmission sounded in his ear, “I am the head of the Westman Family, please give me some face. This concerns the dignity of the entire Westman Family. I admit that I lost this fight. The Westman Family will back down whenever they see you in the future. I am willing to offer 100,000 Spirit Stones as compensation, just hoping that today’s matter can be forgiven.”

This made Logan hesitate. For the sake of maintaining the other’s pathetic dignity, he could obtain a hundred thousand Spirit Stones at once. At first glance, it seemed not to be a loss. He was originally planning to stand up for the innkeeper. However, he realized that it wouldn’t work, as the Westman Family certainly didn’t lack such a small amount of Spirit Stones.

If August Westman could collect 2,000 Spirit Stones a month just by bullying on the streets, they could accumulate tens of thousands of Spirit Stones from one street alone. And this was just the tip of the iceberg for the Westman Family. One could imagine how much income the Westman Family could collect in a month. The head of the Westmen Family only offered 100,000 Spirit Stones, which was certainly an understatement.

So, Logan also used Divine Consciousness Transmission to reply, “The Westman Family is a large enterprise. Is it worthy for you to offer only a mere 100,000 Spirit Stones? Think carefully about how many Spirit Stones you should offer. If the number is big enough, I might even apologize to you. But if you continue to be dismissive like just now, this battle can only continue.”

“How about I add 50,000 more Spirit Stones?” The head of the Westman Family hesitated for a moment, but could only agree to add half, which had already exceeded his limit. This caused a bitter expression to appear on his face, making Logan feel completely puzzled. It was just 150,000 Spirit Stones. Why did it feel like asking for the life of the head of the Westman Family?

“Yes, the Westman Family is a big business, but the expenses are also high. Each month, we can only recover 300,000 Spirit Stones, but the family’s own expenses alone account for 100,000, as well as various others that the Westman Family needs to keep. A month’s savings is only 50,000 at best. By the end of the year, the total savings can only be around 500,000.”

The head of the Westman Family explained with Divine Consciousness Transmission, “The 500,000 amount by the end of each year also needs to be distributed. The final amount left in the treasury, even after so many years, has only accumulated to 700,000 to 800,000. Earning Spirit Stones is not that easy, even for a prominent family like the Westman Family.”

Logan gave a playful smile and shook his head, “A fixed price of 200,000 Spirit Stones. If you can get them, I’ll let August Westman go. We can end this whole ordeal gracefully. If you can’t, I can’t care less. Just make sure you, the Westman Family, are ready to fight me to the death. I want to see among the thousands of people nurtured by you, how many are willing to die for you.”

“200,000?” The head of the Westman Family was completely dumbfounded. Even though he was the master of a family and had access to enough resources, casually drawing out 200,000 Spirit Stones would definitely lead to criticism from the sideline family members and elders. But he had no other choice right now. He had to save August Westman. For a moment, he was clueless about what to do and could only use Divine Consciousness Transmission to ask Logan not to go overboard. He had already been tolerating the situation over and over again.

Logan coughed and raised his voice, “Is the head of the Westman Family daydreaming? It’s been a few minutes since your last attack. Come on, continue the fight. Just now, I only used three levels of strength. I suspect that you too, the head of the Westman Family, must have kept something up your sleeve. So, in the next rounds, don’t hold back.”

With that, the face of the Westman Family head turned hard to look at. To continue fighting with Logan? But his odds of winning were less than 10%. Moreover, August Westman was still in Bart Cloud’s hands. Even if he won, he couldn’t save his son. Logan’s tactic was too ruthless, forcing him to take out 200,000 Spirit Stones?

At this moment, the crowd watching outside burst into whispers. They found it hard to believe. Why was the head of the Westman Family standing there unmoved? Why not go up and teach Logan a lesson? Could it be that he couldn’t beat him? But the head of the Westman Family was already a Dominator, and no matter how strong Logan was, he hadn’t reached the Dominator’s realm yet. Everyone was puzzled and began to doubt the power of the head of the Westman Family more and more.

“There have been rumors that the head of the Westman Family is not in the Dominator Realm, but is just a Half-Step Sovereign pretending to be a Dominator to intimidate outsiders and increase his strength. I used to think this was a ridiculous rumor, but now, I suddenly feel it’s true.”

“Logan is full of confidence. Considering the Westman Family’s aggressive style, it’s unlikely that they would back down, but right now, they show no intention of fighting. This does arouse doubts. A Dominator being scared to the point of submission by Logan is truly an embarrassment. No wonder the Westman Family has been able to be so domineering in the city. It turns out they are just that.”

“Although they only exchanged a few moves just now, the head of the Westman Family was constantly on the losing end. Moreover, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy between the two of them, as if they were having a conversation via Divine Consciousness. Could it be that the two parties were negotiating in secret? Judging from Logan’s expression, it doesn’t seem like he’s the one to back down, which leaves only the head of the Westman Family.”
