Chapter 991: Chapter 562: What is a Spirit_2

Maximus Powers was nothing like the other members of the Demon Race; instead, he seemed witty and humorous.

Moreover, he harbored not an ounce of Malice towards Logan, only goodwill.

“Young friend, since you have been chosen by a predecessor, you must possess exceptional talents. Coupled with having the Throne by your side, given time, your potential is boundless. Besides, you carry Evil Qi, which really isn’t much different from our Demonic Qi. Young friend, I actually think the Chieftain’s previous proposal wasn’t bad. Are you truly not interested in joining us? Perhaps we could become fellows, or even confidants?”

He blinked his peach blossom eyes, his gaze shimmering with a faint light.

Logan didn’t speak, pursing his lips somewhat speechlessly.

He had already clearly rejected their offers, yet these people still persistently cast olive branches his way.

Just because he carried Evil Qi, did that mean he should stand with the Demon Realm?

There are some things that stand apart from both the Dark Path and the White Path; not everything is black or white. Logan himself was one of those things.

“No need, I’m not interested. Look for someone else.”

Logan pondered and uttered these self-deprecating words, also adding a touch of jest, not wishing to sour the atmosphere, but a bit evasive.

Maximus Powers probably expected this attitude and didn’t mind at all.

“Of course, young friend, don’t belittle yourself. If I have decided to offer you an olive branch, it means your abilities are greater than you imagine. Young friend, there’s no harm in trying some things, it could even lead you to an alternative shortcut.”

From his demeanor, it was clear that Maximus Powers didn’t want to create hostility with Logan, hence he only spoke kind words.

Logan, seeing this, let out a slight sigh of relief.

At least this person had no intention of burning bridges or coming to a direct confrontation with him.

Whether it was out of respect for the Throne or fear of his Master, it was a good thing for him.

The earlier exchange had made Logan realize that even with the support of the Throne, the power he could wield was too meager. Facing a Saint might be feasible, but facing a Saint King, who was two hierarchies above, was utterly impossible.

After all, the difference in a single hierarchy is like heaven and earth.

Even a small division within a hierarchy can mean a significant gap.

Let alone a major hierarchy.

Naturally, Logan had no intention of confronting such a person.

If it really came to a life or death struggle, the outcome would only be mutually assured destruction, either both parties dying or the other person possibly having a higher chance of survival than him.

“It seems we really must sit down and have an honest discussion.”

Although he was somewhat reluctant, the only option before them was just that, a conversation.

“Yes, young friend, you are a smart person, and also one who knows the importance of acting according to the situation.”

However, Logan’s mouth twitched at this evaluation, not pleased.

He preferred to be the one in a higher position, the oppressor. Being pressured and having to sit down for a detailed discussion was really irritating.

But Logan had always been able to keep his composure and was adaptable, so he held back.

“Tell me then, what benefits can you offer me if I join the Demon Race?”

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise did flash in Maximus Powers’ eyes.

“The cultivators of the Human race despise the Demon Race to the core, so, young friend, you surely aren’t jesting about joining the Demon Race, are you?”

Hearing the other party’s doubt, Logan now felt somewhat irked.

“You were the one who invited me at the start, and you are also the one who doesn’t trust me now. Elder, I’m actually confused about your intentions. Moreover, do you think I’m someone who adheres strictly to the Great Law, since I could inherit the Throne? If I really were that kind of person, my Master probably wouldn’t have chosen me.”

His words were veiled, but the logic within them was clear.

Maximus Powers couldn’t help but think of a certain legendary figure from hundreds of years ago, a senior whose actions were always capricious, neither adhering to the Dark Path nor the White Path, but rather reigning supreme over both.

If they had chosen a disciple with a similar temperament, it wouldn’t seem surprising.

“Perhaps I’ve been too stubborn, failing to realize that my thoughts haven’t been as extensive as those of a young person like you, blame me, blame me, young friend please don’t take it to heart, of course, if you’re willing to join the Demon Race, you’ll certainly not be short on benefits.”

“I also overheard your purpose earlier on, so here’s what, we’re willing to give up this opportunity, and moreover, we can help you quickly enter the Upper World. You should be aware of how precious an opportunity to enter the Upper World is, and how many people spend their entire lives without reaching that goal. Young friend, but you are different, your master has destined you for a bright future, young friend, why not choose a path where many will aid you?”

Logan’s gaze flickered; he had to admit that this senior truly had a way with words.

Moreover, he was quite adept at rallying people; no wonder he was among the upper echelon of the Demon Race and hailed from the Upper World, distinguishing him from the typical members of the Demon Race.

Had it been someone else, they probably would have been thoroughly tempted.

But Logan wasn’t just anyone; the hardships he had faced along his journey meant that he couldn’t fully trust others. Instead of trusting others, he found it wiser to trust himself.

What Logan didn’t know was that Maximus Powers also had his own thoughts.

On one hand, he was captivated by a genius and wanted to recruit this genius under his command.

On the other, it was because the Upper World was on the brink of war and at such a time, it was necessary to gather more individuals to bolster the forces of the Demon Race.

“Senior, why are you so intent on helping me ascend to the Upper World so quickly? Besides appreciation, there must be other reasons.”

Maximus Powers’ smile became somewhat shallower, and he was genuinely shocked this time.

“I didn’t expect you to see through that point, alright, since you’re a clever person, let’s not beat around the bush. Yes, I indeed have my purposes…”

He carefully chose his words, speaking vaguely about the battles in the Upper World.

Not too overtly, nor too explicatively.

Merely stating it as a contest between the Righteous Path and the Demon Race, as they had always been opposed.

Hearing this, Logan roughly understood the intentions of the person before him.

However, such terms were still not enough to move him.

The expression on his face grew shallower; he was no longer as interested as before.

“I’m sorry, it seems I’m not suited for cooperation with the Demon Race, nor do I intend to join your camp.”

Maximus Powers didn’t expect him to refuse so decisively, and his face darkened for a moment.

But as an old curmudgeon, he quickly regained his composure.

“Why, are my terms not generous enough? What more do you want, or are you planning to join those hypocritical Human race camps? After all, you are Human, and considering your own kin’s welfare seems only natural.”

Despite the seemingly praiseworthy words, the smile did not reach his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, there was a profound darkness within them that sent shivers down one’s spine.

Logan also shook his head at the same time.

“No, when did I ever say I was going to join the Human race? I don’t plan to join your camp, nor the Human race!”

Upon hearing this, Maximus Powers was genuinely taken aback and bewildered.

“Why, if you don’t intend to join the Human race, then why do you insist on rejecting me?”

Logan just stared at him steadily, his gaze icy and clear.

“Because I plan to take the heads of those people myself. I don’t wish to rely on any one side’s power, nor join any faction. Among the Human race, there are some who are my enemies, and I will surely exact bloody vengeance on them. Thanks for the offer, senior, but I must decline.”

Maximus Powers suddenly became curious, also somewhat surprised.

“Because I plan to take the heads of those people myself. I don’t wish to rely on any one side’s power, nor join any faction. Among the Human race, there are some who are my enemies, and I will surely exact bloody vengeance on them. Thanks for the offer, senior, but I must decline.”
