It was late at night.

Holt was sitting in the grand hall of his mansion, constantly making phone calls.

"Hey, Frank, come over to my place. I've got something great for you."

"Hey, Edward, hurry over. The Lord Alex sent me a treasure. Everyone gets a share."

"Oh, Van Gogh, my dear friend, I miss your ass. Come over right away — there's something you can't miss."

...

After making the last call, Holt finally touched his space ring and pulled out a [Divine Fruit] to examine it.

"Ha ha, with this, our Holt family can also raise a clan-protecting Sacred Beast!" His eyes were fixed on the [Divine Fruit], his face full of excitement.

At the same time, Logan and Natalia had arrived outside the Holt family mansion.

They were hiding on the roof across from the mansion, watching the front door carefully.

Soon, the first council member appeared at the front gate.

Then the second, the third — within a short time, dozens of council members entered the Holt mansion.

Natalia saw this and nodded to Logan, whispering, "Let's go."

Logan, hearing this, immediately jumped into his familiar space.

At that moment, the council members were all gathered in the grand hall of Holt's mansion, looking at Holt with curiosity.

Some of them, who knew Holt well, even began asking why they had been called.

"Haha, I called you all this late because I've got something good." Holt said with a smug smile. He waved his hand and pulled out dozens of treasure chests from his ring.

Seeing the council members' surprised expressions, he laughed, picked up one chest, and opened it in front of everyone.

Right away, a strange and pleasant smell filled the air, immediately catching everyone's attention.

"Is this… a [Divine Fruit]? The one that's supposed to awaken a Divine Talent and skill when you eat it?"

"Yep, that's it! It's the prize for the top eight in the Federation Familiar Rankings. They just gave it out a few days ago."

"Wow, Holt, did you steal Alex's treasure vault? Where did you get so many of these fruits?"

Looking at the dozens of chests on the floor, the council members were all shocked.

Holt loved being the center of attention and said slowly, "It's a reward from Alex. Every family can take one."

Hearing Holt's explanation, the council members all looked shocked and started praising in unison: "Lord Alex is kind and wise!"

Then, they all rushed forward to grab the treasure chests.

"Now, now — everyone gets one!" Holt said, calming them down. He handed each one of them a chest himself.

As soon as the council members received the boxes, they opened them right away to check.

Seeing the clear, shiny fruits inside, they all smiled with satisfaction.

Some of them even started talking about which familiars they'd feed the [Divine Fruit] to.

After that, Holt held a big feast in his mansion — there were delicious food, wine, and beautiful dancers performing.

Even though it was late at night, the excitement of getting the [Divine Fruit] kept the council members very lively.

They raised their glasses, danced in the dance hall with the girls, and some even took off their pants on the spot.

Outside the mansion, Logan appeared again.

Natalia, seeing that Logan's clothes were neat, smiled and asked: "Everything go smoothly?"

Logan nodded at her and gave her a thumbs-up. "All done except for Holt's."

Just a little while ago, Logan used his [Dimensional Ambush] power to switch the [Divine Fruits] in each treasure chest.

To Logan, he didn't even need to open the boxes. He just made a tiny space crack and swapped the [Jelly Pudding] with the [Divine Fruit] perfectly.

Don't think these council members are smart now—they'll all come back to Holt in a rush once they find out the [Divine Fruits] don't work after they use them.

Natalia didn't expect Logan to act so smoothly — not even Holt, a Legend-level council member, noticed anything.

But when she thought back to when Logan disappeared beside her, she hadn't felt even a tiny bit of space disturbance. That made her feel better.

"What are you going to do next? Investigate where the [Divine Fruits] came from?" Natalia looked at Logan with admiration in her eyes.

"No, I'm going to go straight to the source — the Morgan family behind Alex." Logan said.

As soon as he said that, Natalia's eyes widened. "What? Is that not allowed?"

Natalia's face turned serious instantly. "The Morgan family is really mysterious. You'd better do this in secret."

Then Natalia explained the background of the Morgan family to Logan. It was said that they were the family of the first chairman's lover.

Because of that, the Morgan family knew a lot of old secrets, and they also had access to a lot of forbidden knowledge and technology.

After understanding the situation, Logan actually felt even more certain that the [Divine Fruits] were connected to the Morgan family.

"Alex wouldn't just make so many [Divine Fruits] out of nowhere. I think the real truth is with the Morgan family." Logan said, looking straight at Natalia. "Don't worry, I won't mess things up."

After that, the two of them kept waiting.

They waited until the party was over, and the council members left, each holding their treasure chest, eager to get home.

Then Logan and Natalia finally started their move.

At that moment, Holt was completely drunk, lying in bed, hugging a girl with white skin and sound asleep.

Natalia kicked open the front door of Holt's mansion, ignoring the guards who tried to stop her, and walked straight toward Holt's room.

"Natalia, City Lord! The master is resting! You can't just barge in like this!"

"Even if you're the City Lord, breaking into a house like this is very rude."

Even though the guards were shouting, they didn't dare to really fight Natalia — not even their familiars would come out, afraid of making her angry.

With a loud boom, Natalia kicked the door open and lifted the door off its hinges.

Holt was still half-asleep from the alcohol when the noise woke him up. He was about to yell at them.

Before he could even say a word, a door slammed right into his face.

"Shit!"

Before he could finish speaking, the door hit him straight in the face.

When he lifted the door, he saw Natalia standing in front of him. He was completely stunned: "City Lord Twilight City! Are you crazy?!"

As he shouted, the maid who had been lying in his arms screamed and ran out of the room.

The guards around him tried to step forward, but then Natalia's familiar space opened behind her. The terrifying presence of Hellweaver filled the air, and everyone froze in fear.

Seeing this, Holt's eyes turned red. He clenched his teeth and shouted: "Natalia, you're attacking a council member's mansion for no reason — you're going to destroy the Corleone family!"

Hearing the words Corleone, Natalia rolled her eyes and shrugged. "I already left the Corleone family. If you want to cause trouble with them, go ahead."

"Fuck!" Holt cursed, pointing at her. "Then what the hell do you want?!"

While shouting, Holt suddenly entered the [Familiar Possession] state. His familiar's space rift appeared behind him, barely visible. "You want to start a war with the Holt family?" he shouted.

"You think you can challenge my family?" Natalia glanced at Holt, then her Hellweaver shot out a long spider spear, piercing through the space rift behind Holt. It also went through his shoulder, forcing him to lose his [Familiar Possession] state.

Holt cried out in pain, holding his shoulder. He glared at Natalia, shocked. "No way! I'm a Legend 4 stars familiar tamer! How could I be so far behind?!"

Natalia looked at Holt's panicked face and smirked. "It's not that I'm strong. It's just that you're too weak."

After saying that, Natalia flicked her finger, and Holt's space ring was instantly pulled into the air.

"Give it back!" Holt's most important items were all inside the ring. He was so angry he wanted to tear her apart.

"Uncle Holt, come on — I called you uncle, don't be so stingy. You gave so many [Divine Fruits] to the council. I don't believe you only kept one for yourself," Natalia said with a greedy look, licking her lips.

Then, under Holt's shocked and angry gaze, Natalia pulled out ten treasure chests from the space ring — exactly the ten [Divine Fruits] Holt had saved for himself.

Natalia smiled, took the ten fruits, politely gave the space ring back to Holt, and even grabbed a piece of clothing to wrap around him.

"Uncle Holt, I'm just a junior. Asking you to give me a few fruits isn't too much, right?" She said, flashing a challenging look. "Or do you want me to spread the word that you saved ten for yourself? I wonder what the new chairman and the council would think about that."

Holt's rage immediately cooled when he heard her threat.

A wave of fear and shock hit him. If this got out, not only would the council members come after him, but Alex would also kill him.

Holt knew full well how Alex had abandoned the Tattalia family.

Thinking about that, Holt pulled at his lips and forced a painful smile at Natalia. "Natalia… you… you don't have to take them all. Just leave me one… just one!"

Natalia looked at him coldly, and Holt immediately shrank back.

Then Natalia turned her back, pretending to leave.

She secretly pulled out a pre-switched jelly pudding from her pocket and slipped it into the chest.

"Okay, I'll leave you one. After all, I called you uncle. Kids should know how to be grateful." she said.

Then she tossed the chest into Holt's arms.
