Deities: Starting From Goblins - Chapter 779

Chapter 779: Chapter 465: Three Thousand Buddha Pills

Augustine Cantu had his back struck, sustaining a gory wound. Enduring the pain, he leaped a hundred meters away, looking at Logan in disbelief.

Could Logan actually be trying to kill him? He had placed such trust in Logan, even just before, he had called away his three Quasi-Saint followers.

And Logan, how deeply he had disappointed him. At this moment, Augustine Cantu regretted deeply; he had been foolish to believe someone he had met just one day ago.

Logan shook his head, full of regret, “I intended to knock you unconscious with a single blow, I didn’t expect to fail, but no matter, it doesn’t affect the bigger picture.”

“Why? We could have gained a great number of Human Pills through our partnership. Are you dissatisfied with the split? We can negotiate that, I can even make concessions.”

Augustine Cantu… was fuming with anger, scolding, “But you, if it has come to this, do you really want to perish together with me? Have you considered the consequences?”

“I was indeed afraid before, but now it’s different. You just want to use the Human Pills to self-destruct, right? Go ahead and try, as of now, you’re nothing but a jumping clown.”

Logan smiled faintly and with a wave of his hand, activated his Barrier Array. Accompanying the emergence of a barrier, it directly trapped Augustine Cantu within.

“I’ll give you a chance, hand over the three thousand Human Pills to me, and I will only cripple your cultivation. At least you can save your miserable life.”

Logan stretched out his hand, looking confidently as if he already had Augustine Cantu in his grasp. Naturally, Augustine Cantu wouldn’t agree; how dare Logan take him so lightly, what did he think he was?

Augustine Cantu took out the three thousand Human Pills, already prepared to die together: “Well then, if I can take you with me in death, these three thousand Human Pills would be well spent.”

Logan, on the other hand, was utterly calm, on one hand, he didn’t believe Augustine Cantu would really choose to die with him. The man feared death, so unless reduced to his last breath, with no hope of surviving, would Augustine Cantu resort to such a step. Otherwise, it was all just an intimidation.

On the other hand, with the array in place, even if Augustine Cantu ignited the three thousand Human Pills, what of it? Logan could escape in the first instance, and the explosion would be contained by the Barrier. So facing Augustine Cantu, Logan was not panicked at all under this double protection.

Seeing how composed Logan was, Augustine Cantu was momentarily dazed. What was going on, how could he not see a trace of fear on Logan’s face?

These were three thousand Human Pills. Even if Logan was stronger than him, could he really withstand a self-detonation of Human Pills? Previously, Logan was terrified by his every move, eager to cooperate, so why had his attitude changed so drastically now? Was it confidence or mere posturing?

The current Augustine Cantu couldn’t understand, but he didn’t dare to lightly ignite the Human Pills; otherwise, he would be the one to truly perish. Both men continued in this stalemate, Augustine Cantu hoping Logan would bow down, but clearly, Logan had no such intention, instead, he watched with apparent interest.

Time passed by, a minute later, Augustine Cantu gave an awkward smile, “Why aren’t you afraid? Let me tell you, these three thousand Human Pills are the accumulation of many years; even a Saint Emperor Powerhouse would have to stay away. Don’t let youthful impetuosity ruin your future.”

“The one who should really be afraid is you. Intimidating people with your so-called Human Pills? Feel free to ignite them, I assure you I won’t say a word in protest.”

Logan’s confidence was overflowing, and this completely panicked Augustine Cantu. Now, what should he do? The Human Pills were no longer intimidating Logan, and now he was trapped within Logan’s Barrier Array.

It was incomprehensible, just who was Logan? Not only was his Realm at the Holy See level, but he was also a Grandmaster Alchemist. All of this was already shocking, and within just three or four minutes of his departure, Logan had managed to set up a Barrier Array.

Since Logan refused to back down, it seemed Augustine Cantu had to make concessions. Staring at Logan, Augustine Cantu said, “Why must you kill me? Even if we don’t collaborate, can’t we simply go our separate ways?”

“No, the act of capturing Bart Cloud is already a capital offense. I, Logan, always repay my debts, no matter how powerful you think you are,” Logan responded, shaking his head firmly.

“You also manufacture Human Pills, which is an offense against heaven and reason. Today, I will exact justice for heaven and ensure you receive your due.”

“Such lofty talk. What exactly do you want?” Augustine Cantu snorted coldly, “Spare my life and any conditions you set, I will agree to.”

“It’s not impossible, just hand over the three thousand Human Pills in your possession, and I assure you peace. How about that? I’ll give you one minute to consider.”

Seeing how much of a coward Augustine Cantu was, Logan promptly said, having the three thousand Human Pills would certainly be a good thing for him.

Augustine Cantu couldn’t help but laugh in anger when he heard this. Did Logan really expect to get his three thousand Human Pills? Once handed over, he’d likely be killed by Logan the next moment. The Human Pills were his only bargaining chip; he couldn’t part with them, even now in dire straits.

But Augustine Cantu didn’t want to die either. Faced with Logan’s offer, he had to consider how he could keep his life safe after handing over the Human Pills.

“How about this, I can give you a thousand Human Pills. You let me go, and afterward, I’ll give you a hundred pills every month until two years are up, totaling three thousand.”

That was Augustine Cantu’s plan, but Logan could not possibly agree. For one, he couldn’t stay much longer; he had to hide in the Outer Domain immediately.

Secondly, over two years, Augustine Cantu would likely harm many more people. Now, with the Barrier, Logan could so thoroughly disregard Augustine Cantu. But once Augustine Cantu left the array, if he turned the threat against Logan, the situation could quickly reverse.
