Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!-Chapter 310: Make a Hole and Wait for the Fish to Bite!

Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Make a Hole and Wait for the Fish to Bite!

Most of the core members of the Dream Committee were present at the event.

Representatives from the first-tier families also showed up.

The main representative of the Vanzo family sat in the front row, wearing a formal smile, but his eyes were cold and unfeeling.

The ceremony was hosted by Turing himself. He stood in the center of the stage, his voice solemn and clear, echoing through the whole hall: "This S-level high-risk mission in the Lost World was successfully completed by Logan’s team."

"They stopped the gene bomb crisis. They prevented the awakening of the Abyss Devourer, saving Pinocchini from a huge disaster."

The whole hall erupted in loud applause.

After the applause died down, Turing picked up the medal on the tray and walked over to Logan.

He personally placed the honor medal on Logan’s chest.

The medal was golden all over, with the Dream Committee’s special emblem engraved on it.

Turing announced in front of everyone that he was granting Logan the title of Honor Committee Member of the Dream Committee.

This title gave him the same highest decision-making power as a regular committee member.

He also announced that the Lost World’s thirteenth district would be turned into Logan’s permanent autonomous territory.

Logan would have the exclusive right to produce and supply life energy crystals.

The hall erupted in applause again.

Logan stood in the center of the stage, giving a slight nod and accepting the honor.

His 44-star energy was calm and under control, not showing off any pressure.

But it was still enough to make all the strong people in the hall respect him without any doubt.

After the ceremony, Logan returned to his private mansion.

The core members of his team gathered in the meeting room of the mansion.

Logan sat in the main seat, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

He first looked at Jessica, who was sitting next to him, and asked:

"How is the mass production line for life energy crystals coming along?"

Jessica opened her notes and looked up at Logan with a serious expression.

"The production line is already built. The mother plants provided by the spirit tribe are in stable condition."

"It will take at most ten days before the first batch of mass-produced crystals can go online."

"Gwen has already finished the safety test. There are no side effects."

Logan nodded and then looked at Natalia across from him.

Natalia immediately understood and started her report.

"The defense system of the thirteenth district has been set up initially."

"The core spell array of Web Domain has been carved into the underground center of the district."

"If someone tries to force their way in, I can block the whole district within one second."

"Sophia has already set up sniper positions on the high ground of the district."

At that moment, the door of the meeting room was gently opened.

Green Vine entered with two spirit tribe guards. She was holding a jade box and walked up to Logan, bowing slightly: "Son of Life, this is the first original evolution material mother plant cultivated by the spirit tribe."

Green Vine opened the box, revealing a small plant that gave off a soft green light.

She took out the plant and smiled: "It can steadily produce original evolution material for you to use in the future."

Logan took the box and gave a slight nod to Green Vine. The value of this gift was almost as high as the benefits from becoming a Dream Committee honor member.

He signaled Green Vine to sit down and join the meeting.

At this moment, Fischl’s communication suddenly connected to the meeting room’s screen.

On the screen, Fischl appeared in the control room of Red Star Forge.

Fischl looked a bit serious and began her report.

Fischl said: "Master, we found the traces of Vanzo family assassins near the foundry."

Fischl said: "They’ve been testing the defense system. They probably want to rescue Black."

Fischl said: "I’ve strengthened the guard. So far, I haven’t seen any sign of them breaking in."

Logan’s fingers stopped tapping. His eyes turned slightly cold.

Before he could speak, another communication came through on the screen.

It was a urgent call from Turing.

Turing’s figure appeared on the screen: "Logan, the Vanzo family has already submitted a request to the High Court."

"They want to label Black as a victim of private punishment, and hold a High Court session in three days."

"They want to use this trial to bring you down and take back your autonomous territory."

"I found out they’re planning to break him out and use him as a witness."

Everyone in the meeting room looked serious.

But Logan just smiled slightly, showing no sign of worry. He looked at Turing on the screen and said calmly, "Good. I also need a trial."

"I want to clean out all the corrupt people hiding in the shadows of Pinocchini at once."

He ended the call, then turned to Fischl’s image on the screen. "No need to strengthen the guard. Open up the defense a little."

Fischl was surprised for a moment, then immediately understood. "You want to let them in and catch them all at once?"

Logan nodded and ran his finger across the table.

A full map of Red Star Forge appeared on the table.

Logan explained, "They want to rescue Black? Let them do it."

"I want Black to appear in the trial himself, and expose everyone behind him."

Only twelve hours were left until the [High Court Session].

Inside the underground command room of Red Star Forge, the atmosphere was tense.

Three hours ago, Logan had deliberately opened a gap in the defense of Red Star Forge, in order to bring out the people behind Black.

The Vanzo family’s assassins had indeed followed the plan and rescued Black.

No one expected them to split into two groups.

Another group of elite assassins took advantage of the shift in the defense and broke through the outer walls, entering Latio’s ancestral home.

By the time the patrol teams realized, Hiyua had already been taken away.

The attackers left a message: Hiyua would be present at the trial as a "[witness]."

In name, she was a witness. In reality, they had made her a key hostage to control Logan.

At that moment, Fischl’s shadow crows hidden in the city corners had already located Hiyua’s exact position.

She was sitting in the audience of the Dream Court. Her chair had tiny bombs stuck underneath.

In addition, the whole courtroom had been secretly set up with a spell array, centered around Hiyua.

It was clear that this array was meant to weaken the defenses that Logan and his team had set up.

And Hiyua, sitting in the center of the array, was the weak point of Logan.

If Logan tried to break the array, the bombs under her chair would explode.

If he hesitated, he would face pressure from the array and Black’s backup plan.

That could be even more dangerous.

After listening to Fischl’s explanation, Logan said coldly, "Black is using Hiyua as a last line of defense."

Sophia leaned against the wall, looking at Logan with a cold light in her eyes. "The Vanzo family really have no limits. Using a little girl as a hostage? That’s really something."

Lucia stood by the window, her face cold. "They’re waiting for us to break into the court, trigger the bombs, then use the excuse that ’Logan doesn’t care about the hostage’ to make trouble in the court and public opinion, and smear the Latio family."

Logan heard that and laughed coldly. "Then let them see who the real hunter is."

He turned to Fischl.

Fischl was closing her eyes, and dark purple mind patterns appeared on her forehead.

Twenty shadow crows were hiding in different corners of the Dream Court.

They were sending back all the footage inside the court.

She suddenly opened her eyes and spoke coldly: "The Vanzo family’s assassins broke through the defense of Red Star Forge half an hour ago and took Black away."

"They used some secret technique to temporarily restore his 36-star peak battle power. It can last until the end of the trial."

"It’s enough for him to appear in court and then use the excuse of ’self-defense’ to kill you."

"Hiyua is in their hands. We’re in a bad position."

After saying that, Fischl shared the images from her black crows with everyone in the room. Then she added: "There’s another thing. Maurice was just killed by Black’s people, but that guy is smart. He faked his death and tricked them."

Logan heard this and gave a cold smile. He said: "That’s perfect. Let Maurice appear in court and I’ll protect him. Black doesn’t know Maurice is still alive. He’ll try to shift all the blame onto others. Then Maurice can expose his fake face."

After that, he turned to the team and started assigning tasks. "Natalia, Sophia, Lucia, you three will guard the audience seats. As soon as I give the signal, you must remove the bombs on Hiyua and take control of the whole place."

"Got it," the three girls said together.

Logan turned to Fischl and said, "You use the shadow crows to watch the whole court. Pay special attention to the Vanzo assassins disguised as guards. Any strange movement, you report it right away."

Fischl nodded and said, "Okay."

After setting up the main fighters, Logan also decided the roles for the rest of the team.

Evelynna, Yelena, and Sawako were under dimensional suppression. They only needed to prepare their battle styles on the edge of the battlefield, focusing on self-protection and not fighting directly.

After saving Hiyua, the retreat and rescue would be led by Jessica and Gwen, with Nel and Bobbi helping.

As for Green Vine, she would go to the trial with Logan. She would show the complete data of the life energy crystals and expose Black’s crime of hiding the newborn crisis.

After finishing all the arrangements, Logan walked alone to a corner of the command room.

He sat cross-legged and tried to break through the 11th-level gene lock. He needed to prepare for the coming trial.

Logan knew his power wasn’t strong enough. Otherwise, Black wouldn’t have dared to touch his family.

After a night of effort, he felt the barrier in his body shake a few times. Though he hadn’t broken through, he had gathered enough energy.
