Chapter 364: 179
Without delving too much into the matter, after all, it was just an ordinary garden, whether it was destroyed or not wasn’t important. What they needed to care about now was how much real opportunity the items taken from the wooden cottage held.
Things had been too chaotic just now, there was no time for any analysis. Since if you delayed by even a minute, what you had your eye on would be taken by someone else, so everyone ended up grabbing a bunch of useless things.
Of course, even after they left, everyone was still afraid that the opportunities they had obtained would be coveted by others, so they each went to a secluded place to calculate what they had really gained.
Logan and another person stood in place, while Carter Jefferson heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Fortunately, they managed to deceive their way through just now, and only then did the Law herbs really enter their possession, giving them a sense of ownership.
More than a dozen people went to a secluded place and carefully investigated the items they had taken. They found that although they had taken dozens of things, none of them had any spiritual energy, meaning they were all just ordinary furniture.
This was a huge blow to them, and they couldn’t even believe it. They were in a wooden cottage that might have belonged to a Sanctuary Powerhouse, and there wasn’t a single bit of fortune to be found inside. Didn’t that mean they had been working for nothing? What’s worse, they paid fifty spirit stones before entering, and not only did they not gain anything, but they also suffered a loss.
After checking over a dozen times, they finally confirmed this fact, and helplessly discarded all the items they had taken out. Among them, one person was excited because he had managed to get the only item that had spiritual energy.
It was a small spoon, containing some kind of Law’s Force that was no less terrifying than a general Throne Level weapon. To prevent others from coveting it, he quickly put it away and pretended to be miserable. He absolutely couldn’t let anyone know that he truly gained an opportunity.
But unfortunately, after the other dozen people had become disappointed, they saw that only he was still in a secluded place, so they all moved closer and discovered that he had secretly taken an item away.
Everyone was certain that he must be the one who had obtained the opportunity, so they directly surrounded him and demanded that he take out what he had obtained, for all of them to share equally among the dozen people.
He had worked so hard to get it and naturally didn’t want to give it up. He also felt quite helpless when faced with the accusations of more than a dozen people. If he didn’t obey, they might try to kill him in the next moment.
So he took out the spoon, and pleaded, “It’s only a Throne level item, not a Dominator Level. This is a very small opportunity. There’s no need to fight over a little spoon.”
“No way, we can’t return empty-handed. Besides, considering the Law contained in this spoon, it can definitely crush ordinary Throne Level weapons. You’d better hand it over honestly.”
This was a bit disappointing for some, as they had thought it was at least an item belonging to a Sanctuary Powerhouse. They didn’t expect it to be just a Throne Level item, which was far below their expectations. But giving up so easily was out of the question.
Even if they couldn’t get it themselves, they couldn’t let this person have it. At worst, they would destroy the spoon so everyone would suffer the loss together.
“Let’s stop fighting. I think instead, Logan and another person are up to something. We were all madly running into the wooden cottage while only these two stayed outside. Could it be that the opportunity is outside?”
Seeing everyone’s anger, this person quickly changed the topic, “Let’s go ask them. If these two have hidden something, then all our efforts would have been played by them. Our infighting will only benefit them in the end.”
“Now that you mention it, I remember the matter of the garden being wiped out. Could it be that it really held an opportunity? If you think about it carefully, Carter Jefferson’s explanation doesn’t seem reasonable and was just to appease everyone.”
Gamenor’s brow furrowed, apparently moved by this person’s words. He immediately prepared to interrogate Logan and the other person. If they were found to be hiding any opportunities, they would be sentenced to death.
The group of people rushed over angrily. Logan sensed that something was wrong and, without any hesitation, moved several steps away from Carter Jefferson. He couldn’t trust whether Carter Jefferson would say anything when interrogated by the others. If he openly admitted everything, then his own situation would become incredibly dangerous.
Of course, Logan had killed a King before, so facing these more than a dozen Transcendent Tier individuals, he had the confidence to kill them all. However, that was the last resort, as fighting in the Illusionary Realm was clearly not wise.
Moreover, behind him was someone who had always wanted to kill him. After being toyed with by Logan a few times before, that person would likely catch up soon. If he engaged in battle, Logan’s strength would be greatly depleted.
“Be honest, was there some kind of opportunity outside just now that you and Logan took for yourselves? If you admit now, I won’t blame you. But if I find out later, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Gamenor was furious, emanating a strong killing intent. He wanted to threaten Carter Jefferson into confessing everything truthfully, while the others also sided with Gamenor.
Carter Jefferson was startled, even though he had managed to deceive everyone just now. How could Gamenor bring up the matter again? At this point, he wouldn’t admit a single word, nor would he hand over the Law herbs. Those herbs were related to his future achievements, and even if he died here, he would never admit to anything.
“How could it be possible? You guys were in there for only two minutes. How could Logan and I have time to find opportunities? Besides, I didn’t know Logan before, so it’s impossible for us to cooperate within two minutes.”
Carter Jefferson spoke loudly and solemnly, “Someone must have been inciting all of us to fight among ourselves so that they can profit from the chaos. Maybe that person is the one who got the real opportunity.”
“There was a garden here just now, but now it doesn’t exist anymore. Could it be that the opportunity was inside the garden? I don’t believe a word of what you said earlier. I’ll give you one last chance.”
Gamenor’s voice turned even colder. Though Carter Jefferson appeared calm, things were suspicious after all. After all the trouble, Gamenor was left empty-handed, so he believed Carter Jefferson had to pay something for it.
Even if there was really no opportunity, Carter Jefferson still owed him fifty spirit stones. This was the perfect opportunity to get his spirit stones back, wasn’t it?
Logan smiled indifferently, “I can confirm that Carter Jefferson did get an opportunity just now. And it was one from a Sanctuary Powerhouse. Now all of you have been deceived by Carter Jefferson.”
At Logan’s words, everyone’s gaze converged on him. For a time, they were all furious. Carter Jefferson was truly hateful; he had secretly snatched the opportunity for himself but never revealed it.
Gamenor clenched his teeth in anger. Even Logan admitted it now, and Carter Jefferson still dared to pretend? Luckily, he didn’t let it go and kept asking questions, otherwise, he might have been successfully deceived by Carter Jefferson.
