Chapter 1405 - Chapter 1405 Chapter 766 Armory_2
Chapter 1405: Chapter 766: Armory_2 Chapter 1405: Chapter 766: Armory_2 His aura of authority radiated outward like an eruptive volcano, so intense that no one dared to look directly at him. Feeling this overwhelming pressure, everyone lowered their heads, daring not to speak further. They knew that once the Wright Family Patriarch became angry, the consequences were unimaginable.
Upon witnessing this, Logan’s gaze flickered slightly, silently admiring the Wright Family Patriarch’s authority and decisiveness. He understood that the Patriarch’s actions were meant to maintain the order and dignity of the Wright Family, as well as protect him, an outsider, from unnecessary troubles.
“Family Head, we did not mean any disrespect. It’s just that the Artifact Refining Pavilion concerns the future and fate of the Wright Family; we have to be cautious,” an elder of the Wright Family spoke, his tone respectful and earnest, clearly pleading on behalf of everyone.
Hearing this, the expression of the Wright Family Patriarch softened. He glanced at the elder and nodded, “I understand everyone’s concerns, but Young Master Logan is no ordinary person. He might be able to help our Wright Family out of this predicament. Therefore, I hope everyone can trust me, and trust Young Master Logan as well.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in understanding. They acknowledged that the Wright Family Patriarch must have his reasons for acting this way. Thus, they refrained from further comments, quietly standing aside, waiting for the next move of the Wright Family Patriarch and Logan.
Logan, feeling everyone’s eyes on him, nodded with a smile, greeting everyone. He was acutely aware of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders and could feel the expectations and trust the Wright Family had in him. He made a silent resolve to try his best to help the Wright Family out of their current difficulties.
Oliver Wright approached Logan, gently patted his shoulder with a tone of comfort and apology, “Young Master Logan, please do not take offense. That was my younger brother, John Wright, who spoke against you. He’s always like that–direct and sometimes abrasive, even I, as his elder brother, can hardly bear it sometimes. Please don’t take it to heart and hold it against him.”
Logan turned to look at the Third Young Master Wright who had just challenged him. John Wright, still furious despite the Patriarch’s scolding, glared venomously at Logan as if flames were about to shoot from his eyes. His hands were clenched into fists, the knuckles white from the force, clearly dissatisfied with Logan’s presence.
Yet, unable to defy his father’s authority, John Wright ultimately had to swallow his anger. He gritted his teeth, forcefully suppressing his rage, and unwilling to gaze at Logan any longer. With a cold snort, he turned his head away as if another glance at Logan would be unbearably painful.
Seeing this, Logan touched his nose and smiled wryly. He understood that his arrival had offended the Third Young Master Wright and his future days here might not be easy. However, he wasn’t here for the Third Young Master Wright. The attitude of the Third Young Master was irrelevant to him and not something he concerned himself with.
Logan quickly shifted his gaze away, his expression indifferent as if nothing had just transpired. He thought to himself that his visit to the Wright Family was to help solve the issue with Dragon Blood, not to engage in a feud with the Third Young Master Wright. Therefore, there was no need to let the attitude of the Third Young Master affect his mood and plans.

But Third Young Master Wright was not pleased with this. Seeing Logan ignore him completely, a nameless rage surged in his heart. He clenched his fist tightly, his fingernails digging deep into his palm, yet he felt no pain. His eyes flickered with anger and resentment, as if he wanted to devour Logan alive.
“Damn it, what does this outsider mean? Coming to the Wright Family’s territory and ignoring me, Third Young Master Wright. Who does he think he is? Just a wild boy who popped up from nowhere. Humph, I, John Wright, am a person of status in the Wright Family. How can I allow him to disrespect me like this?”
In his heart, Third Young Master Wright swore to make Logan suffer. He didn’t know why he felt such hostility towards Logan; perhaps it was because Logan’s arrival disrupted his peaceful life, or maybe because he felt that Logan did not deserve to step into the important areas of the Wright Family. In any case, he had already regarded Logan as his enemy, determined to teach him a lesson.
Oliver Wright walked up to Logan, patted his shoulder gently, his tone carrying a bit of comfort and apology: “Young Master Logan, don’t mind it. The person who spoke earlier was my third brother, John Wright. He’s always like this, speaks directly and impulsively, sometimes even I, his elder brother, can’t stand it. Don’t take it to heart, don’t argue with him. He’s just like that, can’t be stopped when his temper flares, but he’s not bad-hearted.”
Hearing this, Logan turned his head and glanced at Third Young Master Wright, who had just verbally sparred with him. Seeing John Wright scolded by the Wright Family Patriarch, his face was ashen, still seemingly unsatisfied, glaring fiercely at Logan, his eyes almost spitting fire. His hands were tightly clenched into fists, the knuckles whitening from the strain, veins on his fists prominently bulging, clearly very displeased with Logan’s presence.
Seeing this, the father frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but then it smoothed away. He knew his third son’s temper well and could only shake his head helplessly. Feeling his father’s gaze, John Wright gritted his teeth, suppressed the rage in his heart, unwilling to glance at Logan again. He snorted coldly and turned his head away, as if looking at Logan any longer would cause him extreme discomfort, his silhouette appearing both defiant and solitary.
