Chapter 382: 197
Although he was a Dominator, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to eliminate the opposing forces. However, this would undoubtedly lead to significant losses on his side. If the Lord steps in afterward, wouldn’t his Family Clan be doomed as well?
Gali Mo became more and more certain that Logan must have been instructed by the Lord to secretly cause this chaos. The Lord, who had been silent for many years, was indeed terrifying. Gali Mo couldn’t compare even with ten of his own.
At this moment, the three perfect Thrones returned with Logan: “Young Master, we have to admit this kid is strange. We wanted to execute him, but they insisted on bringing him back to you for judgment.”
“The leader of the First Family?” Logan smiled lightly. “You have a promising future. After all, you killed the Grand Elder, and you’ll soon become the most powerful force in the Territory. We can only aspire to match you.”
“It’s all your scheming. What exactly do you want?” Gali Mo pointed angrily at Logan, amazed at his audacity—a mere myth realm being daring to challenge him?
“I’ll be direct. You have two choices now. The first is to face the revenge of the forces involved with the Grand Elder. Of course, they can’t harm you, but what about the younger generation of your clan?”
Logan shook his head, smacking his lips: “From now on, they won’t dare leave the Family Clan. If they can’t leave the clan, they won’t gain experience, and your clan’s younger generation will become useless. Who will inherit the future of your family? They can only be assassinated once they leave the clan unless you send dozens of people to protect them every day.”
“I’m not afraid. I don’t care.” Gali Mo’s words hit his sore spot. Indeed, it was very possible that this could happen since his family had killed the Grand Elder and would undoubtedly face endless revenge from others.
“You have another choice. You can join forces with the Lord and eradicate the Grand Elder’s lineage completely. Wouldn’t that allow you to rest easy? And the credit for this would go to your family.”
Logan smiled faintly, glancing at Gali Mo: “The merit of killing the Grand Elder would be enough for your family to prosper for a hundred years, without living in fear every day. Isn’t this a win-win situation?”
“So, you are indeed sent by the Lord.” Gali Mo sneered coldly, seeing through all of Logan’s tricks. If he cooperated with the Lord, he could indeed eradicate the Grand Elder’s lineage. However, he would become a mere pawn in the Lord’s grand scheme, making the Lord the sole ruler of the Territory.
Gali Mo could never agree to cooperate with the Lord, as that would mean dooming his Family Clan’s future. Furthermore, once the descendants of the Grand Elder sought revenge, his family would be the first one targeted.
“If you don’t want to toast, just drink the punishment wine. What if the Lord allies with the Grand Elder’s lineage instead?”
Logan spoke only halfway through, not finishing his sentence. He just heavily looked at Gali Mo, who was the head of a Family Clan. Logan was confident that Gali Mo would be intelligent enough to weigh the pros and cons, making the right choice.
Gali Mo’s face changed, clearly understanding Logan’s threat and the consequences his family would face if this were to happen. The sole act of killing the Grand Elder wouldn’t be something his family could handle.
If he didn’t cooperate with the Lord, the Lord could easily frame him for the murder of the Grand Elder. Once charged with such a crime, the consequences would be unimaginable. First, the people involved with the Grand Elder would seek revenge, and then the Lord’s forces would join in. His Family Clan wouldn’t be able to withstand such pressure for long.
With the Lord winning people’s hearts and eliminating Gali Mo’s Family Clan before absorbing the remaining forces of the Grand Elder, the Lord would unify the Territory. Gali Mo could only become a dust particle in history, a pawn in the Lord’s game. This realization sent chills down his spine.
Gali Mo clenched his teeth and said, “I can cooperate with the Lord, but I want to kill you first. You are just a pawn of the Lord, and killing you won’t affect my relationship with him.”
Logan wasn’t humble or arrogant, and he didn’t even respond with a word. He just stood quietly to the side, knowing that Gali Mo’s rage was just an impotent display and that he wouldn’t dare to make a move against him.
After a long time, Gali Mo still didn’t attack Logan. He understood that Logan was a crucial component, and if he was killed by his own hands, his guilt would only be more evident. Outsiders would think he was trying to cover up the murder, and even being cleansed in the Yellow River wouldn’t wash away the accusations.
“Fine, I, Gali Mo, admit defeat this time. I can’t compare to the Lord or you in terms of cunning and scheming. For the sake of my Family Clan’s future, I’ll bear this guilt.”
Gali Mo waved his sleeve and left. “I will visit the Lord personally to discuss our cooperation in one day. From now on, our Family Clan will forever obey the Lord without any doubt.”
He felt bitter and resentful. Faced with this perfect trap, his great skill couldn’t help him. Gali Mo had killed his own child and the Grand Elder was calculated against. There was no turning back now, and he had no choice but to follow Logan’s path.
Many forces have been itching to act due to the Lord’s long silence. Gali Mo once thought about replacing the Lord, but today’s events have taught him a lesson in what true scheming means. Just the Lord’s minion was able to turn his world upside down.
Logan breathed a sigh of relief. Facing a Dominator’s deterrence, he was still too little. If Gali Mo had been stubborn and insisted on attacking just now, today would have been his death anniversary next year.
Upon returning to his Family Clan, Gali Mo felt angrier as he looked at the three perfect Thrones. Did they still want to be rewarded? It was because they killed the Grand Elder that their situation was now so passive.
Why didn’t they think more carefully back then, thoroughly investigate whether the Grand Elder was the murderer or not? They just believed Logan’s one-sided words and executed the Grand Elder for him.
If it were ordinary subordinates, Gali Mo would want to peel their skin off. However, they were three Thrones who had reached perfection. He couldn’t bear to kill them since they were essential forces within the Family Clan.
“I’m punishing you to face the wall and repent for ten years. Learn military strategies well so that you won’t be outwitted and killed. As for what you saw and heard in the Secret Land, don’t mention it to anyone. Understand?”
Gali Mo slapped the ground with a palm, emitting an intimidating force. “As for the killer of the Young Master, even if it’s proven to be Logan, all the blame must be placed on the Grand Elder, or the entire Family Clan will be in trouble.”
He would keep this score in mind. Logan made him send his white-haired son to his early grave. He should never let Logan off if an opportunity presents itself in the future. This was the rage of a father.
On the other side, Logan reported this news to the Lord, allowing him to prepare early on as well.
