Seeing Natalia arrive, Lucias sexy and char'ming attitude disappeared instantly. "You came at the perfect time. You really do care a lot about this kid, don't you? You've been following him ever since the first round of the civil war. Are you afraid we'll take him away from you?"
Natalia, hearing this, looked at Logan with a proud smile. "Do you remember the condition I set when I recommended you to join the Genius Training Camp? To complete that condition, you have to become my student first!"
Logan was stunned by this. "Why didn't you tell me about this before?"
Natalia gave him a quick look and said, "You weren't ready to be my student back then."
Hearing this, Sophia and Lucia both rolled their eyes. That was so like Natalia.
Now, Natalia was acting like a lion protecting her cub. They obviously weren't going to mess with Logan anymore.
But Lucia still couldn't resist giving Logan a warning. "You know why we all want to be your teacher? Because once you become a Supernova, you'll be able to carry the belief power that the Human Federation has gathered. That could take you straight to the Saint stage."
She raised an eyebrow and glanced at Logan. "At that time, your teacher will also get the chance to break through to the Saint stage because they helped you grow. It doesn't matter if your teacher is still human or not."
Lucia said this with a deep meaning. She was about to say more, but Natalia shot her a warning look. Lucia quickly turned around and left, muttering, "You crazy old woman, if I could beat you, I'd squeeze those two things on your chest until they burst!"
Sophia followed Lucia and shrugged. "I told you that woman would lock this kid up. You won't get any chance."
Lucia, hearing this, brushed her hair back and looked annoyed. "Hmph, until the very end, who can say for sure? After all, I'm still technically Logan's instructor. What if I give him a lot more help than Natalia? Then, would the Human Federation's belief power recognize Natalia as the teacher, or me as the instructor?"
Sophia didn't expect Lucia to be so bold. She let out a laugh. "You really haven't changed at all. Always trying to compete with that crazy woman."
…
After sending Rebecca away, the room was now only left with Natalia and Logan.
Logan fixed his eyes on Natalia, his expression full of suspicion. "Don't you have anything to say?"
Natalia said nothing, just silently reached out and took off the contact lens from her eye.
In an instant, her originally blue eyes turned blood red, and her mouth slowly stretched into a sharp, fanged grin. "I'm not human, after all."
She quickly put the contact lens back in and pulled her lips back, her voice cold. "As you can see, I'm half human, half monster. Sophia, Lucia, Bell… they're all like me. We're no longer human, and we can't become Supernovas or receive the Human Federation's belief power."
Her voice carried a mix of regret and hatred. Logan could clearly sense the bitterness in her heart.
"So, you want to use me to break through to the Saint stage? That's why you helped me?" Logan narrowed his eyes as Natalia returned to her normal look.
"That's just one reason." Natalia took a sip of her tea, her posture calm and elegant. "At first, I helped you because it was a deal worth investing in."
She set the cup down and slowly stepped closer to Logan, staring directly into his eyes. "But later, after seeing what you did for Bell, I thought you and I could be on the same side."
Natalia smiled slightly. "Now, I help you because I don't want you to end up like us."
Logan gently touched Natalia's hair, his eyes softening. "Is there a way to fix you all?"
Natalia smiled sweetly. "That trick won't work on me. If you want to charm your teacher, you need to become a Supernova first."
As she finished speaking, she left the temple, disappearing from Logan's sight.
Logan inhaled the scent of tea in the room and smiled. "Becoming a Supernova isn't that hard."
A few days later, Barzini and the others brought the last batch of supplies. Finally, Logan completed the Star Lake base.
These people had been under Logan's control, doing his bidding. Soon, they were starting to draw suspicion from the Tattalia family.
So, Logan decided to go all in. He ordered Barzini and the others to empty 30% of the Tattalia family's assets.
Logan took the ring Barzini handed him and smiled. "Now, you guys use this money to try and win over as many key members of the Tattalia family as possible. I want the Tattalia family to fall into chaos."
To Logan, Victor was the main cause of the beast tide. And the Tattalia family, behind him, wasn't innocent either.
In fact, Logan had found more than a dozen members of the Tattalia family on old Nelson's list.
It was clear that the Tattalia family was deeply involved in Bell's death.
But the problem was, Barzini and his people still weren't important enough to be involved in the Tattalia family's politics. Logan didn't yet know exactly what role the family had played in Bell's death.
Just as Logan was thinking about how to deal with the Tattalia family, Agent Macon rushed into the temple. "Principal, the head of the Tattalia family is here with the council. They're asking to see you."
Logan looked at Barzini and the others, then smiled. "You guys hide for a while. I'll go meet old Tattalia. And remember, out there, we're called the Red Flower Guild."
Soon, the old Tattalia and his group arrived at the temple.
Along with bodyguards and maids, there were two long-time members of the Tattalia council—Rony Tattalia and Tim Tattalia.
The three council members, led by the old Tattalia, looked at Logan with arrogance. "Lucky kid, are you Logan? We're here to check on Rebecca. Hand her over now."
When Logan heard the old Tattalia mention Rebecca, his face turned cold. "Rebecca doesn't want to see you. Leave."
The old Tattalia didn't expect Logan to insult him right away. He was so angry he stomped his foot. "How dare you! You unimportant commoner, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"
Then, the old Tattalia released a terrifying pressure. His Legend-level aura directly pushed toward Logan.
But Logan stood firm. He didn't fall or faint. Instead, he looked calm and composed.
"How is this possible? How can a Master-level familiar tamer possibly withstand my mental pressure up close?" The old Tattalia's eyes widened, and his beard even stood up in shock.
"Because his teacher is me!" As soon as she said that, Natalia suddenly appeared behind Logan. A terrifying mental power storm burst from her eyes and swept toward the old Tattalia from behind.
A series of loud crashes followed. Behind the old Tattalia, except for Rony and Tim, the two council members who looked pale, all the guards and maids fell to the ground, unconscious.
Seeing this, the old Tattalia immediately opened his familiar space, ready to fight Natalia.
As the head of the Tattalia family, he couldn't stand being insulted.
But before he could act, Sophia and Lucia suddenly appeared behind Natalia, both looking at the old Tattalia with a mocking smile.
Lucia had a crab leg in her mouth. She first gave Logan a cold look, then said, "Fredo Tattalia, are you sure you want to attack us, a common guild, here? According to federal law, citizens have the right to self-defense. If we three beat you, does that count as self-defense?"
Sophia on the side took out her phone and turned on the camera, laughing, "Familiar tamers fighting can be dangerous. It's totally possible we accidentally kill your people."
Being threatened by both Sophia and Lucia, the old Tattalia shook with anger.
He didn't expect to meet people who were all so tricky, and none of them were giving him any respect.
"Don't you fear the anger of the Tattalia family?" the old Tattalia pointed at Logan, his eyes full of killing intent. "Even the Genius Training Camp, if we make enough effort, we can take you down!"
Logan heard this and let out a laugh. "Mr. Fredo, I think you should see something first before we talk about anything else."
In front of everyone, Logan directly turned on the projector and played the video of Victor transforming into the Nine-Headed Dragon.
As the old Tattalia saw Victor's eyes turn into beast-like pupils in the video, his face turned pale instantly.
He watched the video of Victor leading monsters into the CEM27 camp, destroying everything in sight, and his voice trembled. "Logan! You killed our hope of the Tattalia family!"
Logan stared coldly at the old Tattalia and said in a harsh voice, "Look closely. Your own grandson was eaten by his familiar and turned into a puppet. He caused the beast tide that ruined Saint Heart City. How many refugees lost their homes? How many soldiers died in the war? Do you think your family's anger is stronger than the anger of the whole nation's people?"
After hearing Logan's threat, the old Tattalia's whole body seemed to shrink.
If Logan released those videos, his Tattalia family would be finished.
He thought for a moment, then looked up at Logan with tired eyes and asked, "What do you want?"
Logan didn't beat around the bush. He handed the old man a list and said, "Have the people on this list come to Star Lake."
