Chapter 133: Klein: Want to Be Friends!
The netizens of Twilight City were especially excited.
Some people who had watched the video of Logan fighting Diana alone uploaded the clip online.
It was only now that people realized how strong Logan's real body was.
"Little wonder Logan could save thousands of survivors by himself. He's really strong!"
"Look at Logan beating the angel, so exciting! His fists are pounding her chest!"
"There's some history between Logan and the angel. Looks like you can't just control a strong familiar. Only our Logan boss is cool."
"Logan is so cool!"
In Saint Heart City, in the City Lord's office.
Darwin and Philip General were sitting in front of Garen City Lord, smiling and watching the news with admiration for Logan.
"Darwin, I think it's time to recommend Logan for the Supernova Challenge." Philip General said directly.
"I think it's possible. His three familiars have all made it into the top eight of the Federation rankings. If we don't let him challenge soon, the public won't be happy." Darwin said, smiling at Garen City Lord.
"Guys, don't look at me like that. Recommending someone for the Supernova Challenge needs the joint signature of five main city lords. Otherwise, we can't even start the process." Garen said, looking helpless.
As a result, Philip General directly sent a letter and placed it on Garen City Lord's desk.
Garen City Lord glanced at it briefly. To his surprise, the bottom of the letter had the names of four main city lords — Twilight City, Storm Wind City, Edo Castle, and Starfall City — all signed on top.
Seeing this, Garen City Lord sighed in defeat. "Okay, I'll sign. Since even the Starfall City Lord signed it, I have no reason not to."
Then, Garen City Lord quickly signed his name with a big stroke.
At the same time, in the Snow Dragon's council hall.
Alex was watching the online discussions, but his expression showed no emotion at all.
Holt stood behind Alex, looking anxious and staring at the box by his side.
Through the box, Holt was sure that what was inside was the [Divine Fruit].
He himself had never expected that such a rare fruit would suddenly appear in such large quantities in Alex's hands.
"Holt, it's time to wrap things up." Alex suddenly said, breaking Holt's thoughts.
"Sir, I'll go and destroy Logan right now!" Holt stood up quickly, full of killing intent.
Alex smiled and shook his head. "Not so fast. I want you to go and give them a reward."
Then, Alex opened the box beside him, revealing a full box of [Divine Fruits] — thirty-six in total.
"Stop staring. Besides the top eight familiars in the Federation ranking, the rest are for the council members." Alex said generously, pushing the box toward Holt. For a moment, Holt was caught off guard.
"Really? We can actually have a [Divine Fruit]?" Holt knew very well the value of the fruit.
In fact, when Holt found out that many familiar tamers were feeding them to B-level familiars, he was absolutely heartbroken—it was such a waste.
If these [Divine Fruits] were given to A-level familiars, they could almost rival S-level ones.
At that, Holt got excited and quickly put the [Divine Fruits] away, ready to leave.
Suddenly, Alex's voice rang out again: "Make sure to give one to every council member. You can keep at most three for yourself. Don't be greedy."
When Holt heard Alex's order, his face tightened. Then he turned and nodded, kneeling on one knee before Alex and promising, "My lord, I will never steal the [Divine Fruits]. Please trust in the loyalty of the Holt family."
Alex raised his hand slightly and said, "Go. Do it quickly, before things get too complicated."
After Holt left, another white-cloaked old man appeared behind Alex. "Sir, the celebration is all set. It will start on time in seven days."
Alex nodded in satisfaction. "Twelve years. It's finally time to wrap things up."
…
In the days that followed, the Federation's Familiar Ranking Tournament came to an end.
Holt, representing the council, held a big award ceremony and handed out the prizes.
Logan was relieved to see that the council was very generous this time. They didn't cut the rewards just because the top eight were all Logan's familiars.
Besides the [Divine Fruits]. there were many rare materials unique to the Lost World.
After collecting everything, Logan and his group headed straight for the Alchemist's Association in the Snow Dragon.
As soon as they walked in, Logan went straight to the point: "I'm looking for Klein."
Hearing the familiar name, a staff member at the association smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Klein is training alone. We can't reach him."
Boom!
Logan didn't care about the excuse. He slammed a gold bar onto the table, under which was a list filled with all the prizes from this round. "Tell Klein that if he wants to use these materials for alchemy, he should come to the Snow Dragon and find me. This gold bar is your fee for delivering the message."
After saying that, Logan paused for a moment and added, "And, I'll only wait for him six days."
The server took the gold bar and nodded excitedly, saying, "No problem, no problem. Even if I have to tie him up, I'll bring Klein back for you."
Logan saw the server was very confident, so he left the Alchemist's Association satisfied.
In fact, less than three days later, Klein arrived with Blair, looking tired and worn out, standing in front of Logan.
Looking at the two people he had once fought against in the Genius Training Camp, Logan sighed and greeted them: "Long time no see, Klein. I came to ask for your help."
Klein was straightforward. He took out the list Logan had given him and smiled, "You really trust me to make these materials?"
Logan rolled his eyes. "What's there to not trust? I don't just want you to make the materials. I have something else I want you to study."
Then Logan handed three [Divine Fruits] to Klein.
When Blair and Klein saw the [Divine Fruits]. They both lost their cool.
"Wow, three [Divine Fruits]? Are you giving them to us?" Blair said greedily, automatically licking his lips.
Klein just took a quick look at the fruit, then said calmly: "This thing has been around for twelve years in the Federation. Are you not sure about it?"
Logan smiled knowingly. "Talking to a smart person is so easy. I really am not sure about it, which is why I asked you to study it and check for any side effects."
Then Logan turned to Blair and used [Enslave Mind] directly.
Blair looked into Logan's eyes and felt a sharp pain in his head. "Oh my god!"
Before he could finish cursing, he was already Logan's mind slave, standing obediently by his side.
Klein saw Logan's move and his eyelids twitched slightly. "You don't worry about making enemies with the Adventurer's Association? He's the son of the association's leader."
Logan smiled and shrugged. "I'm just protecting him. Otherwise, one day if one of the [Divine Fruits] I gave you suddenly went missing, would I blame you or him?"
Klein knew Blair was a bad-tempered and dishonest guy, so he sighed helplessly. "Well, at least no one will bother me, and I can focus on the research. But I have another condition."
Logan saw that Klein agreed, and smiled. "Go ahead."
Klein looked at the [Divine Fruits] and said: "Since I'm helping you research, you probably want accurate results, right? So my first condition is to add another researcher—my teacher, Laverette."
Logan nodded silently. "Okay."
Seeing how quickly Logan agreed, Klein smiled. "Then, as you know, the more samples, the better. If you want to speed things up, you should get more of these [Divine Fruits]."
Logan smiled and opened his familiar space.
In a moment, more than forty [Divine Fruits] fell out onto the ground with a clatter.
Klein was surprised to see so many in one go. His eyes blinked a few times, and even his look at Logan changed a little, showing some respect.
As one of the best young alchemists in the Federation, Klein knew how tempting [Divine Fruits] were to a familiar tamer.
But Logan had over forty of them and didn't keep them all for himself. That was really impressive.
So Klein took a deep breath and said: "Logan, I think I actually want to be your friend."
With that, he opened his own familiar space. Three mummies stepped out of the space crack and picked up all the [Divine Fruits] on the ground.
"Do you have a third condition?" Logan asked with a smile after Klein finished.
"Of course. During my research, you have to protect my safety." Klein said seriously, looking at Logan. "I know what you're researching might bring trouble. I just want to study, not get involved in any mess."
Then, Klein turned and walked into his familiar space.
Before his body disappeared, he threw out a ring. "Take this. It's the anchor between my familiar space and the real world. Once I finish my research, I'll come back to find you right away."
Logan was stunned for a moment. "What about your teacher?"
Klein stood in the space crack and turned to smile. "You've met her. That vine was my teacher."
"Damn!" Logan muttered under his breath. He thought to himself: these Federation geniuses really are all crazy.
At that moment, a dark figure flickered outside the window. Natalia suddenly appeared in front of Logan. "Holt is giving out [Divine Fruits] again. Want to take a piece of the action?"
Logan's eyes turned sharp as knives. "Let's go get him."
