Facing Pope David's question, Logan smiled and said: "I helped control this Blood Cultivation Realm, so you should at least say thank you first, right?"

Pope David pulled his lips into a cold smile and said: "Didn't I already say thanks?"

Logan frowned. "I did a lot of work. This Blood Cultivation Realm was out of control. It had not only dangerous dragons, but also traitors. You think one 'thank you' is enough?"

Pope David didn't expect Logan to be so bold, speaking up like that in front of all the Black Church members.

Seeing the surprised looks around him, Pope David knew he couldn't get angry. He forced himself to stay calm and asked: "Kid, what do you want?"

Logan shrugged and started walking toward the exit of the Holy City. "You're not being serious. I'm going back to the Human Federation. Let me tell you, I don't do things for free. If you want something, you'll have to fight with the Human Federation officials for it!"

Pope David saw that Logan wasn't listening and growled in anger: "Wait!"

He suddenly blocked Logan's way and put on a soft smile. "The Black Church is about to start its Supernova Challenge. You can leave, but Sacred Fire must stay!"

Logan laughed.

Then, in a flash, his body disappeared into thin air, completely gone.

Pope David saw Logan was gone and couldn't hold back his anger. He shouted: "All the followers, go out of the city immediately! I don't believe he can run from my hands!"

Then he turned to Vincent and yelled: "I just sensed Slime energy. You better explain what happened!"

Vincent knew Pope David had found out about him teaching Logan the [Slime Battle Style], so he just shrugged and smiled: "It was a deal between Fischl and him. Go ask her!"

Then Vincent left without looking back.

Pope David felt a little calmer when he heard it was Fischl who was involved.

Just as he was about to find Fischl and get the truth, his phone suddenly rang.

Pope David picked it up and saw it was Darwin General calling. He frowned. "The Military Committee from the Human Federation? What do they want?"

Curious, he pressed the call button.

The screen showed not only Darwin General, but also Philip General and Logan's face.

"How is this possible!" Pope David stared in shock, blinking rapidly. He couldn't believe Logan was suddenly standing in the Human Federation, thousands of miles away.

"You think we'd let you rob us of Sacred Fire without preparing?" Darwin General coldly snorted, his face full of anger.

Pope David took a deep breath when he saw this.

As the ruler of the Black Church, he knew the Human Federation wasn't easy to mess with.

If they got angry, things would get messy.

"This is a problem." he thought to himself.

Then he forced a smile on his face and said to Darwin General: "General Darwin, you're misunderstanding. My Black Church had a rebellion, and I was worried. I didn't mean to insult the young man behind you. I would never try to take Sacred Fire!"

"What young man? His name is Logan." Darwin snapped. "He's the principal of the Fourth Power Institution of the Human Federation!"

Pope David was shocked to hear Logan had an official title. His face twisted in anger.

In his mind, he cursed Vincent again and again. How could he not tell him such an important secret?

"Sure, sure! Logan Principal is young and talented — really impressive. I should thank him for helping the Black Church! Without him, we'd be in big trouble today! How about letting Logan Principal come back again? I'd love to show him some hospitality and say thanks properly!"

Darwin General saw Pope David was trying to act friendly and stop the fight. He gave Logan a thumbs-up behind the camera.

Then Philip General stepped in front of the camera and coughed. "I heard Logan Principal helped the Black Church stop the rebellion. The Black Church should give him something real in return. Let's talk about the reward here. Otherwise, I'm worried you'll take advantage of Logan because he's young and naive."

When he said that, Pope David wanted to kill Logan.

Calling for help at home whenever there's a problem — that's being naive?

If Logan were smarter, would he have to call him "Dad"?

Thinking this, Pope David frowned. "What do you want?"

Philip General grinned. "Before we talk about the reward, let's first talk about the payment. Reward is reward, and payment is payment. Since Logan helped you control the Blood Cultivation Realm, the treasures from there should belong to him as payment. That's fair, right?"

Pope David frowned deeply, but finally nodded. "Fine. Whatever Logan took from the Blood Cultivation Realm, whether it's treasure, resources, or familiars — all of it can be his payment. But Logan needs to tell me exactly what happened in the Blood Cultivation Realm."

Philip General was happy with the quick answer. He pulled Logan in front of the camera and smiled. "Logan, you tell them."

Logan smiled and waved his hand. In an instant, the Dragon Emperor, Dragon Commander, and thousands of Ashen Dragons appeared on the phone screen.

Pope David was so shocked his hands started to shake. He almost dropped the phone.

Then he rubbed his face and blinked hard, looking completely stunned. "How is this possible? Logan! You've made a deal with over ten thousand Ashen Dragons!"

As Pope David shouted, he watched Logan nod at him. He was completely angry.

It was now clear — all the treasures, resources, and even the whole Ashen Dragon race that the Black Church had placed in the Blood Cultivation Realm were probably now Logan's.

After realizing this, Pope David twisted his face and stared angrily at Logan on the screen. "You took all that, and now you still want a reward from me?"

Logan didn't back down at all. He argued: "I earned it. What does that have to do with you? Are you trying to back out?"

Being threatened by a high school student made Pope David feel a bitter taste in his mouth — he almost choked on his own blood.

But thinking about how the Black Church couldn't create a new Saint-level warrior without Sacred Fire, he had to hold back his anger. He said to Logan: "You got a lot out of this. I guess a normal reward won't be enough. Come to the Black Church, and I'll teach you rune arrays knowledge that's even better than what the Human Federation has. It's hundreds of years of knowledge from the Three-Headed Hell Wolf clan."

Logan looked surprised. "You want to teach me Three-Headed Hell Wolf rune arrays?"

Before he finished speaking, Logan called out Kerparos.

The Three-Headed Hell Wolf suddenly appeared on the screen. Pope David was shocked. "You… you're the high school student who made a deal with Kerparos?"

Logan saw that Pope David finally recognized him. He shrugged. "So, are you still going to teach me rune arrays?"

Pope David clenched his fist and snorted. "You still don't know the Three-Headed Hell Wolf battle style, right? Catch Milo Archbishop for me, and I'll teach it to you."

Logan turned to Kerparos, who nodded. Then Logan agreed.

After ending the call, Logan sent back all the Ashen Dragons and Kerparos. He immediately went to Philip General and Darwin General, bowed, and thanked them.

Darwin General and Philip General laughed when they saw Logan.

They never expected Logan to go to the Black Church's territory and end up getting such a big advantage.

Even without talking about Logan's ability to return to the Human Federation so quickly, just the fact that he had over ten thousand Ashen Dragons made the two old generals jealous.

If these Ashen Dragons were trained by the best familiar tamers in the Human Federation, they would form a huge dragon knight army — unstoppable!

At that time, the Human Federation's territory could grow by 30%.

Thinking about this, Philip General and Darwin General looked at Logan with even more kindness.

Darwin pulled out a scroll and handed it to Logan, saying: "Logan, go to the Black Church and take what's yours. If their Pope gives you trouble, tear the scroll. That'll give them a real headache."

Logan looked at the scroll and asked: "What is this?"

Darwin General smiled. "A one-time storage scroll. Inside are ten [The Death God of Love] bombs. When you tear it, they'll explode in five minutes."

Logan pulled his lips up a little. "Wow, Darwin, you really gave me a big weapon."

Meanwhile, in the Thirteenth Holy City of the Black Church, Pope David shut off the video and got even more angry.

He kept screaming, and the sound shook the buildings around him to pieces.

Luckily, all the people in the city had already left, so no one was hurt.

At that moment, Fischl appeared beside Pope David and said coldly: "Your Highness, you called for me?"

Pope David snapped: "It's all because of you!"

Fischl blinked. "What did I do? The Thirteenth Holy City wasn't you who destroyed it?"

Pope David had no answer. He just got even angrier.
