The more Gali Mo thought about it, the more difficult it became. Although the Grand Elder was dead, the opponentâs power could not be underestimated. They had developed dozens of thrones over the years, including seven or eight perfect thrones.
Although he was a Dominator, it wouldnât 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, wouldnât 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 couldnât compare even with ten of his own.
At this moment, the three perfect Thrones returned with Logan: âYoung 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.â
âThe leader of the First Family?â Logan smiled lightly. âYou have a promising future. After all, you killed the Grand Elder, and youâll soon become the most powerful force in the Territory. We can only aspire to match you.â
âItâs all your scheming. What exactly do you want?â Gali Mo pointed angrily at Logan, amazed at his audacityâa mere myth realm being daring to challenge him?
âIâll 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 canât harm you, but what about the younger generation of your clan?â
Logan shook his head, smacking his lips: âFrom now on, they wonât dare leave the Family Clan. If they canât leave the clan, they wonât gain experience, and your clanâs 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.â
âIâm not afraid. I donât care.â Gali Moâs 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.
âYou have another choice. You can join forces with the Lord and eradicate the Grand Elderâs lineage completely. Wouldnât that allow you to rest easy? And the credit for this would go to your family.â
Logan smiled faintly, glancing at Gali Mo: âThe merit of killing the Grand Elder would be enough for your family to prosper for a hundred years, without living in fear every day. Isnât this a win-win situation?â
âSo, you are indeed sent by the Lord.â Gali Mo sneered coldly, seeing through all of Loganâs tricks. If he cooperated with the Lord, he could indeed eradicate the Grand Elderâs lineage. However, he would become a mere pawn in the Lordâs 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 Clanâs future. Furthermore, once the descendants of the Grand Elder sought revenge, his family would be the first one targeted.
âIf you donât want to toast, just drink the punishment wine. What if the Lord allies with the Grand Elderâs lineage instead?â
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 Moâs face changed, clearly understanding Loganâs threat and the consequences his family would face if this were to happen. The sole act of killing the Grand Elder wouldnât be something his family could handle.
If he didnât 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 Lordâs forces would join in. His Family Clan wouldnât be able to withstand such pressure for long.
With the Lord winning peopleâs hearts and eliminating Gali Moâs 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 Lordâs game. This realization sent chills down his spine.
Gali Mo clenched his teeth and said, âI can cooperate with the Lord, but I want to kill you first. You are just a pawn of the Lord, and killing you wonât affect my relationship with him.â
Logan wasnât humble or arrogant, and he didnât even respond with a word. He just stood quietly to the side, knowing that Gali Moâs rage was just an impotent display and that he wouldnât dare to make a move against him.
After a long time, Gali Mo still didnât 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 wouldnât wash away the accusations.
âFine, I, Gali Mo, admit defeat this time. I canât compare to the Lord or you in terms of cunning and scheming. For the sake of my Family Clanâs future, Iâll bear this guilt.â
Gali Mo waved his sleeve and left. âI 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.â
He felt bitter and resentful. Faced with this perfect trap, his great skill couldnât 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 Loganâs path.
Many forces have been itching to act due to the Lordâs long silence. Gali Mo once thought about replacing the Lord, but todayâs events have taught him a lesson in what true scheming means. Just the Lordâs minion was able to turn his world upside down.
Logan breathed a sigh of relief. Facing a Dominatorâs 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 didnât they think more carefully back then, thoroughly investigate whether the Grand Elder was the murderer or not? They just believed Loganâs 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 couldnât bear to kill them since they were essential forces within the Family Clan.
âIâm punishing you to face the wall and repent for ten years. Learn military strategies well so that you wonât be outwitted and killed. As for what you saw and heard in the Secret Land, donât mention it to anyone. Understand?â
Gali Mo slapped the ground with a palm, emitting an intimidating force. âAs for the killer of the Young Master, even if itâs proven to be Logan, all the blame must be placed on the Grand Elder, or the entire Family Clan will be in trouble.â
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.
