Natalia raised an eyebrow and asked: "So what excuse are you going to use to refuse them? You can’t just say you don’t want to see them."
Logan turned to look at Green Vine by the side and smiled, "The perfect excuse is right in front of us."
"Green Vine brought the spirit tribe, the Erald Tribes, to help us expose Black’s plot. As the representative of the Latio family, I naturally need to visit them in person to thank them. It’s reasonable and they can’t find any fault with it."
Natalia laughed at that and shook her head. "Only you would use a visit to the spirit tribe as an excuse to turn down an invitation from the whole Dream Committee. Those old foxes will be furious when they find out."
Just as she finished speaking, the door of the study opened gently.
Mario, the old family leader, walked in slowly with the help of his servant.
Though his hair was white, his back was still straight, and a smile was on his face.
"Grandpa, why did you co over?" Logan imdiately stood up and helped the old man sit down.
He led the old man to the sofa and poured him a cup of hot tea himself.
"I’m your grandson, now a big na in Pinocchini. The Latio family has been in decline for decades under my hands, and now it’s back to the top of the thirteen Golden Families. How could I not co to see it for myself?" Mario patted Logan’s arm and said.
His eyes swept over the Latio family emblem hanging on the wall. His eyes were slightly red.
Holding the hot tea, the old man changed the subject and smiled, teasing, "Now that the family is back on track, and you have power, it’s ti to think about your own marriage."
"I’m old, and I want to see my grandchildren and watch our Latio family grow."
Mario said, his tone full of hope.
Logan sighed with a small smile at his words but didn’t argue.
He wanted to, but the girls didn’t seem in a hurry.
Every morning, he could see the girls secretly taking dicine.
Maybe, only when everything is truly stable can they really think about having children.
In the days that followed, Mario watched the mansion fill with people coming and going. He saw Hiyua handling all the guests with ease.
His smile never left his face.
And Hiyua was growing fast, learning how to handle family affairs.
Now, she was in charge of all external communications for the Latio family.
At first, when she t the family leaders of the different houses, her movents were a bit awkward. But later, she could handle everything smoothly, treating the offers, tests, and cooperation invitations with just the right attitude.
The little girl who once only hid behind her brother and trembled in fear when in danger was now a strong Latio family lady, soone no noble in Pinocchini dared to look down on.
Life in the mansion was peaceful and lively.
Gwen was still in the underground lab.
She and her team were working on improving the production formula for life energy crystals and adjusting the compatibility of the dicine.
Bobbi always stuck by her side, either clumsily helping out or sitting next to her with a piece of roasted at.
Nel still liked to stay in quiet corners. Occasionally, she would walk in the garden with Logan, her eyes full of kindness.
Evelynna, Yelena, and Sawako had gradually adapted to life in Pinocchini. They could feel that the influence of the dinsion pressure on them was getting smaller and smaller.
And Jessica kept a firm hold on the logistics and finance of the [Dawn Blade].
The complete production line for life energy crystals was running smoothly under her managent.
The first batch of mass-produced crystals was already ready to be officially released into the Pinocchini market.
Lucia would co to the training room every day on ti. She was not only working on her own Crystal Body, but also training the mbers of Dawn Blade in team combat.
The whole team’s fighting power was lifted to a new level.
During this ti, the Dream Committee sent two more invitations.
But Logan had already left Pinocchini with Green Vine a few days earlier.
When the high-level mbers of the Dream Committee found out, they could only wait with a sigh, hoping Logan would co back soon.
Three days later, early in the morning, the sky was still dark.
Under the World Tree, in front of the spirit tribe’s base, there were piles of human supplies.
They included equipnt for growing spirit plants, energy supply devices, and core parts for protective wards for a settlent.
These things filled up three floating cars. Every single one was what the spirit tribe needed most right now.
Natalia and Sophia were sitting in the front seat of the first car.
They were looking at the screen, checking the distribution of the first batch of supplies and the construction of the spirit tribe’s base.
Compared to the thirteenth district of Pinocchini, Logan had directly chosen to build a new base inside the World Tree.
The reason was simple. The way Pinocchini treated the Latio family made Logan very angry.
The Latio family had once been very powerful many tis in Pinocchini’s history and had made great sacrifices.
It should have been respected, no matter how low it fell.
But Pinocchini showed the worst side of human nature. It praised you when you were strong, and stepped on you when you were weak.
This kind of backstabbing behavior made Logan decide to set up his own base.
So he and Green Vine quickly agreed, and moved the Latio family inside the World Tree.
With the protection of the spirit tribe and the natural barrier of the World Tree, it was much better for the Latio family to live there than to suffer in Pinocchini.
On the other side, Sophia had already sent shadow crows to survey every part of the area around the World Tree.
Natalia had also finished setting up the core nodes of the Web Domain, making sure the trip would be completely safe.
"Latio family can build a castle in the canopy of the World Tree. The resources from all the families will be very useful."
Natalia said softly, her finger moving across the map on the screen as she spoke to Logan, who just walked over.
Logan nodded and stepped out of the car.
Green Vine, with her Thorn Guards and spore archers, ca forward and bowed slightly.
"Greetings, Master Logan."
Green Vine and the other spirit tribe mbers spoke with deep respect.
Logan walked over, reached out, and helped Green Vine up.
"No need for such formalities. Now we are neighbors," he said with a smile.
Green Vine smiled, and stepped aside to lead Logan and his group into the World Tree.
"Thanks to the technology and supplies you brought, the World Tree has already started to grow new branches. Its life state is very stable."
"It won’t be long before it can steadily produce the original evolution substance. It will be useful for you to stabilize your stage and break through later," Green Vine explained as she walked, her tone full of joy.
In the spirit tribe’s territory, the tribe mbers were busy.
So were growing rare spirit plants, others were strengthening the protective wards around the young World Tree, and so were teaching the tribe’s young ones how to use the life-linking secret art.
When they saw Logan, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully.
The way they looked at Logan wasn’t full of fear, but of deep respect and closeness.
Natalia and Sophia stood beside Logan, and along with Green Vine, they checked the next steps for building the base in the World Tree.
They also discussed the supply cycle for the raw materials of life energy crystals and the cultivation plan for the original evolution substance.
During this ti, Logan’s communicator kept vibrating twice.
All of them were communication requests from the Dream Committee headquarters.
Logan took a look, then casually turned it off without answering.
In fact, to prevent Turing from eavesdropping, Logan used his [Space Lock] ability the whole ti, wrapping the electronic devices of the group in a bubble to block any unnecessary signals.
"Those old foxes in the Committee must be really worried by now. This is already your fourth refusal. If you don’t go, they might even co to visit you in person," Sophia said with a raised eyebrow, watching his move.
"It’s them who are in a hurry, not us," Logan laughed lightly, putting away his communicator. "I’ll deal with those old guys after I move the Latio family out."
With that, Logan turned his head upward and smiled, "What if we build the base there?"
Everyone followed his gaze.
Although Logan was pointing to the tree canopy, the size of the World Tree was beyond everyone’s expectation.
When they arrived at the canopy area, they were imdiately shocked by the scene before them.
The section of the tree trunk that Logan had chosen was wide enough to support a flat area of 5 kiloters in width.
That ant, if Logan wanted, he could build a whole lively town there.
So, following his principle of not wasting space, he changed his original plan for a castle into a town.
"Isn’t this too extravagant? This is the World Tree. Building materials are hard to process and transport, and building such a large town would take a long ti," Green Vine frowned and gently advised.
She was very grateful that Logan had decided to move his family here, becoming neighbors with the spirit tribe.
In fact, the entire spirit tribe was willing to work and help, even offer resources.
But if they wanted to move the Latio family out quickly, building a small castle would be the fastest way.
However, Logan didn’t think so. "Don’t worry about the ti. As long as you give enough building materials, I promise to finish it within three days," he said.
"Three days?"
When Green Vine and the spirit tribe mbers heard the ti, they were all stunned.
Building a town in three days? That was sothing they never even dread of.
But just as they looked confused, they saw Logan’s lips curl into a smile.
Then, behind him, a series of familiar space portals opened up.
"Exactly, three days. You guys wouldn’t have forgotten, would you? I’m a familiar tar, after all," Logan said with a smile, and snapped his fingers.
Then, one by one, black ants and Ashen Dragons ca out of the Space Teleport gates.
