Chapter 941: Chapter 537: Nine-Turn Golden Pill?_2
“City Lord, actually, today I’ve co not only to fulfill the previous agreent but also to inform you of sothing. I, Logan, plan to leave.”
“What?”
The City Lord’s wine glass was not tightly held, as if he found this sowhat unbelievable.
“You, you’re just going to leave like this? Logan, why do you suddenly want to go? Is this place not good enough? If you’re willing, as long as you stay, I would even bestow an official position upon you.”
“No, City Lord, you understand, with my personality, I won’t stay in one place. The reason I have to go is not that this place is bad, but it’s just the ti to leave; I have other matters to attend to.”
As for what those matters were, Logan did not elaborate, but the City Lord seed to guess.
He wasn’t too emotional, but instead, he sighed softly.
“Ah, actually, I had already guessed as much; it’s normal. Logan, you, after all, are not one to be tied down to one place. You have a broader future ahead of you, unlike who must cling to a territory.”
“Please don’t say that, City Lord. You carry a heavy burden as well, and it’s not an easy matter.”
The City Lord suddenly laughed and stepped forward to pat his shoulder.
“Logan knows best. Well then, since you’re leaving, this al has taken on a new aning. Let’s consider it a farewell dinner specially arranged for you.”
Logan bowed his hands in thanks.
“Thank you for your kindness, City Lord.”
At this mont, the City Lord looked at him, his eyes entangled as if he was hesitating over sothing.
Logan noticed and took the initiative to ask.
“City Lord seems to have sothing to tell ; please speak freely.”
The City Lord coughed softly, not intending to hide anything.
“Cough cough, that’s how it is, Logan. I won’t hide it from you. Lately, Snow Wood has been constantly searching for your whereabouts. Of course, you just happened to be out during this ti, so she didn’t find you, but I expect she might find her way to you. I wanted to give you a heads-up.”
Upon hearing this, Logan frowned slightly, not particularly surprised.
He just didn’t expect her to be so persistent in searching for him.
He didn’t fear her; he just disliked trouble and found it botherso.
So, he pressed his lips together and nodded at the City Lord.
“Alright, thank you for sharing this news with , City Lord. I understand. I’m planning to leave tomorrow morning; let’s say I’m avoiding her.”
He didn’t want to confront this person head-on; after all, there was no need for any interaction between them.
Moreover, Nineteen was pushing him, and though he intended to stay a bit longer, it now seed unnecessary.
That night,
Logan let White Elizabeth out.
Ever since her release, White Elizabeth had been silently staying in a corner, ignoring him, and not speaking—a clear sign of petulance.
Logan found it amusing.
“When I was doing alchemy earlier, you caused trouble, and I didn’t even bother you about it. And now you’re putting on a long face for ?”
“Otherwise, what do you expect? Did you expect to show any pleasantness toward you?”
White Elizabeth was usually a cold person, rarely displaying her emotions so openly.
But at that mont, she seed particularly sharp-tongued and scornful, even blatantly unwilling to hide her feelings.
“Logan, if I didn’t know that your master is my father’s murderer, perhaps we could have continued to coexist peacefully. But now that I know the truth, what makes you think I would still be kind to you?”
Upon hearing this last sentence, Logan really wanted to retort.
“Treat well, Miss White Elizabeth, it seems you have never been kind to . Back in the Secret Land, if it were not for the Furnace Cauldron choosing , you would have killed long ago. After coming out, you remained cold and unapproachable. And now it seems to be my fault?”
Logan touched his nose, feeling this was a great injustice.
One can be sitting at ho and trouble will still co from the sky.
White Elizabeth thought of her own actions and had nothing to say for a mont, but she still snorted coldly.
“So what? Your master is Blood Nineteen, the man who killed my father, just for that, I will never forgive you, Logan. We are destined to be enemies, and today during the alchemy, I thought you would blow up the Furnace Cauldron, but you managed to suppress it. You’ve got so skills, but next ti, next ti I won’t let you off.”
Logan suddenly raised his eyebrows, sitting opposite her, tapping his fingers on the table, puzzled.
“Strange, if you really hate that much, why tell all this to my face? Aren’t you afraid I might just kill you on the spot?”
White Elizabeth finally turned her head, looking straight at him.
“Logan, I’ll tell you, I’m not afraid at all, I’m not afraid of death, or rather, I’ve been dead for so long, a re wandering soul. Other than seeking revenge, I have no other thoughts. You may be the disciple of that Blood Nineteen and also my benefactor, so I told you straightforwardly, in the end, whoever lives or dies, it’s up to the individual.”
Logan laughed softly, still a person who dares to love and hate.
Even before killing soone, she gives a murder notice, interesting.
“Alright, I won’t argue with you anymore, let show you sothing, maybe you’ll change your mind.”
White Elizabeth didn’t speak, her face showed disdain, clearly not believing his words.
Logan didn’t care, he simply took out the Crystal and activated it.
Quickly, the Crystal entered White Elizabeth’s body, and the contents of the mory Crystal flashed before her like scenes in a passing horse parade.
This recorded the truth about the murder of her father hundreds of years ago.
The father in the Crystal was nothing like the father in her mories.
This father had eyes cold and murderous, filled with extre greed.
Back then, when White Elizabeth’s father saw Blood Nineteen “severely injured,” he imdiately beca dishonorable and murderous.
There was a group of people besieging Blood Nineteen, but in the end, only he and an Elder of the Righteous Faction remained.
But just then, White Elizabeth’s father suddenly attacked that Elder, killing him.
Moreover, in the Crystal, he candidly admitted that he did it only to monopolize the treasures of Blood Nineteen. Perhaps because there were no onlookers, and he was unaware of the mory Crystal’s existence, he completely exposed his nature, appearing like a hypocritical villain, ambitious, cruel, and bloody.
As for Blood Nineteen, he was just pretending; now, seeing this, he stopped pretending.
He struck with a clean and decisive move, killing the man, flayed and dismbered him, and displayed him for all to see.
Once she finished watching all the contents, White Elizabeth beca dazed, unable to utter a word.
Her first reaction was disbelief.
“No, this can’t be, this isn’t real, it must not be true!”
“Not real? Heh, White Elizabeth, you’ve lived a good number of years yourself, you should have the ability to see for yourself. This is the infamous mory Crystal, it has but one function, which is for recording. It is impossible to falsify, and it can’t create illusions.”
White Elizabeth fell silent then because she knew this too.
Exactly because she knew, she couldn’t refute it, nor could she accept it.
She didn’t dare to imagine that the father who was kind and gentle in her mories was actually such a despicable person, soone who killed his own comrade, soone who killed a person from the Righteous Path, all just to hoard treasures and cover up his own cris.
Her father, how could he be such a selfish, vile, and shaless person?
If that were the case, Blood Nineteen’s actions were rely self-defense and retaliation.
What reason did White Elizabeth have to attack him, and what reason to demand accountability? She didn’t know, she was completely dazed, sinking into silence.
Logan knew she couldn’t accept it at the mont, but still, he approached to comfort her.
“White Elizabeth, I know you may not be able to accept this for a while, but this is the truth, no matter how unwilling you are to face it, you can only face it. Now, you know the truth about what happened back then, do you still have any reason to condemn my master?”
White Elizabeth quietly lowered her head, not uttering a word, she herself felt guilty.
After a long ti, the energy in White Elizabeth dissipated altogether, leaving only a deep sense of exhaustion that lingered around her indelibly.
“I’m sorry.”
These three words were very soft, yet they still clearly poured into Logan’s ears.
