Chapter 897: Chapter 519: Human Federation, 9th?
Logan thought these guys really had no memory, daring to come here looking for trouble again. Did they have a death wish?
Logan rolled up his sleeves, ready to step forward and argue with them.
Facing the burly men, he didn’t show a hint of fear; instead, he outdid them in terms of imposing presence.
His eyes were wide open, his gaze sharp, instilling fear in those who met his stare.
He frowned deeply, looking quite unapproachable.
Moreover, Logan was tall, which made him seem even more imposing.
...
Still, there was a softness in his eyes, which showed he wasn’t as brute as those men.
He initially intended to reason with them, so he stepped forward, shielded Ellie behind him, and then addressed the burly men.
“Who are you? How dare you treat such a delicate young lady so rudely in broad daylight? Have you no regard for the heavens above or the law below?”
Clearly, the burly men didn’t recognize Logan. Though tall, he wasn’t very muscular, so they weren’t scared of him and didn’t take his words seriously.
Instead, they looked at Logan arrogantly and fiercely, with a deep voice, one of them said to Logan,
“And who are you, kid? Trying to play hero to save the beauty? You picked the wrong person to save. Do you know who I am? Do you know who I work for? That’s Young Master Johnson from our city, a big name. Do you dare to offend him? Even if you dare, can you beat me? If you don’t have the real skill, don’t pick up this delicate task!”
The man gave Logan a disdainful look, then spat on the side and patted his hands, looking down on Logan.
“Hey, don’t talk like that. I don’t like hearing it. We still need to abide by the law here. You should know this world doesn’t belong to the Kings, okay? Who do you think he is? Abducting a civilian girl in plain daylight, what does that make you? If the court knew, do you know how many heads would roll? Bullying a weak woman, what honor is there in that?”
Ellie, standing there the whole time, was almost scared to tears by this confrontation.
She was naturally timid and felt even more so in this situation. She dared not move a muscle, afraid that they might seize her.
Now, the only person she could rely on was Logan, so she didn’t dare stray three meters from him, and could only follow closely, clinging to his sleeve.
Logan indeed gave her a sense of security. Standing in front of Ellie, she didn’t feel as scared.
Logan paused and continued.
“It’s not about chiding you, but you should discern right from wrong in your hearts. Don’t just blindly follow Young Master Johnson’s orders. If he asks you to kill someone or set fires, would you do it too?”
“There’s a saying, ‘A prodigal who returns is more precious than gold,’ be better men. And pass a message to Mr. King, tell him to stop coveting Ellie.”
“Every time his people come, I’ll send them packing. If they come once, I’ll fight once, twice, and I’ll fight twice. If they come thrice, I’ll beat them thrice. Every single time they show up, I’ll fight! Young Master Johnson has seen my strength.”
The burly men had no intention of leaving. They were the type to look down on others, and no amount of persuasion would reach them.
No, it was as if they hadn’t listened at all!
All that talking, so many wasted words.
“Who do you think you are, dodging me? I’m definitely taking the girl today. You think too highly of yourself. Do you think I’d be scared of you?”
“Pah, get lost as far as you can, don’t interfere with my business. Be careful, or you’ll see whether your mouth or my fist is harder!”
Now, Logan wished he could roll his eyes to the sky. He had never met such a shameless person in his life. This was a new peak in his understanding of human nature.
He realized it was impossible to reason with such people—not everyone could listen. So, Logan decided to use the simplest and most brutal method to drive them away.
No sooner said than done, Logan made sure Ellie was safe to one side then bent down gently and reassured her.
“Ellie, don’t be scared later, okay? Don’t worry, I won’t let you get hurt. Just stay here, and don’t wander off. In a moment or two, I’ll have chased these people away!”
Ellie’s eyes were like two gleaming pearls, fixed on Logan’s face. At first, a subtle unease flickered in them, as if fearful of the unknown yet to come. However, as Logan’s warm and resolute voice reached her, his words caressing her like a spring breeze, her expression softened, the tension in her eyes replaced by deep comfort. Her gaze became firm again, as if she had found a haven for her soul, filled with trust and reliance on Logan.
She nodded softly and spoke.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay, I won’t be scared—I trust you!”
A warmth flashed across Logan’s eyes. For the first time, being unconditionally trusted by someone warmed his heart.
Logan turned and punched each of the burly men swiftly, a coordinated series of blows without any wasted motion—one punch per person.
The burly men were knocked silly by his punches.
Never did they expect the man before them to be deceptively strong, yet in their hearts, they were unwilling to concede defeat.
