Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Natalia’s reward?
"Mr. Corleone? What brings you here?"Garen, City Lord of Saint Heart City, stood up and went to greet the elder in military uniform.
"I came to check on the Corleone family’s marriage match. Where’s that guy Sorenso?"Elder Corleone scanned the area, didn’t see Sorenso, and looked regretful. "He should be here to take a slap from me before he leaves."
At those fierce words, the Duke of Storms and the Lord of Edo Castle both lowered their heads and wiped sweat. These are people whose words can shake the Federation. No one there could afford to offend them, so they could only smile along.
But Natalia gave Elder Corleone no face at all. She said nothing, turned around, and started to leave.
"Wait!"Evelynna quickly stepped in front of Natalia, eyes full of hostility. "You see Grandpa and don’t even say hello?"
"He’s not my grandpa."Natalia’s voice was cold and harsh. She walked around Evelynna and quickly vanished from sight.
Seeing this, Elder Corleone coughed hard twice and said helplessly, "Forget it, Evelynna. I’m the one who wronged her."
Then he walked up to General Philip and said with a smile, "Next time you beat up Sorenso, remember to call me. Our Corleone family’s good name was almost ruined by him."
General Philip caught the meaning behind his words and snorted. "I heard your granddaughter is getting engaged to Victor. I thought you’d gone senile, old man."
Elder Corleone sighed and shook his head. "I’m old, not stupid. The Tattalia family is taking a reckless risk. The Corleone family shouldn’t be dragged into it. Victor is no longer fit to be our son-in-law."
If even Philip could see the problem with the Nine-Headed Dragon familiar, Elder Corleone could too.
Because of this, he had cursed Sorenso more than once, calling him a crazy fool for almost pulling him into the mess.
If that Nine-Headed Dragon familiar breaks out of Victor’s body and draws monster hordes from deep in the Lost Land to attack Saint Heart City, the Tattalia family will become criminals of the Federation.
And the Corleone family, tied to them by marriage, would be implicated too.
So Elder Corleone showed up in person and, as soon as he appeared, publicly announced the cancellation of Evelynna and Victor’s engagement. He also said, in front of everyone, that he wanted Logan to become the Corleone family’s son-in-law.
Hearing this, the City Lords present all lowered their heads, not daring to show any opinion.
Evelynna stood beside Elder Corleone, obediently following his arrangements while quietly watching Logan at the center of the arena, her eyes complicated.
Meanwhile, Yelena, Sawako, and Logan stood in the arena, enjoying the cheers and applause as they took the rewards Sophia handed them.
"Take it. This is what the champion squad deserves."Sophia gave Logan the prize, then took out another suitcase.
"What’s this?"Logan looked at the metal case, full of curiosity.
"It’s from Natalia—something she promised you ahead of time."Sophia set the case in Logan’s hands and went to check on the other teams.
Logan took the heavy case and was about to open it.
Suddenly, he felt countless eyes on him.
When he turned around, he saw spectators jumping down from the stands and rushing toward him.
Seeing this, Logan grabbed Yelena and Sawako and ran. He didn’t want to be surrounded and forced to take photos like an exhibit at the zoo.
Ten kilometers off the arena islet, the three sat on Nabo’s back, enjoying the sea breeze.
The crowd that charged in was way too much, some were even master-rank, 5 stars familiar tamers. Luckily, Logan summoned Red Feather in time and used its [Refraction] ability to confuse them, and they managed to escape the islet.
As the arena islet was about to fade from view, Logan, Yelena, and Sawako shared a smile and took out the rewards Sophia had given them.
They opened the boxes, and their eyes lit up.
Each box held a shiny golden fruit.
"It’s a World Tree fruit!"Sawako recognized it right away and gasped. "This thing can make a familiar’s bloodline evolve 100%!"
"People say there’s a World Tree deep in the Lost World. It’s very dangerous there, with monsters even Legend‑rank familiar tamers fear,"Yelena said as she picked up a fruit and looked it over carefully. "Every year, those monsters guard the tree when it blooms and fight like crazy to grab the fruit."
She took a deep breath. "The Genius Training Camp really spent big, giving us such a valuable reward."
After hearing their explanation, Logan picked up his fruit for a closer look.
Suddenly, he noticed a note stuck to the bottom of the box.
He took it out and unfolded it—and his face changed.
"What’s wrong? What does it say?"Sawako asked, surprised, and grabbed the note.
One look and her face turned bright red. It felt like the note was burning her hands, and she quickly tossed it aside.
Yelena picked it up, saw a crooked line of handwriting, and read softly: "Friendly reminder: the fruit’s scent has a strong aphrodisiac effect. It works within five minutes. Please open the box with your partner present."
After reading that line, Yelena took a deep breath, turned to Logan, and looked at him with honest yet shy eyes. "Logan, can you ask Nabo to swim a little farther?"
Logan swallowed hard when he heard that.
His throat felt dry, and it was like a fire was burning inside him.
The arena islet was still too close and not private enough.
He urged Nabo to speed up, trying hard not to look at Yelena and Sawako.
But even if he looked away, the two girls still moved close to him.
Standing on Nabo’s shell, Logan felt their legs brush against him.
Before Logan could lower his head to see clearly, his pants were torn into two pieces by Sawako and Yelena, reduced to scraps of cloth.
"Damn it!" Logan muttered under his breath, forcibly pinning down Sawako and Yelena’s heads as he focused on steering Nabo. "Just a little farther!"
Nabo felt Master’s restless emotions, let out a muffled groan, and quickly swam towards the deep sea area.
After about five minutes, Logan had reached his limit of patience.
Yelena and Sawako kept caressing Logan’s thighs, and their two cold little hands began to dishonestly reach into his underwear.
"Sis, you two are taking my life! "Logan cursed inwardly and exclaimed in pain:" Rub up and down, don’t rub left and right, you’ll rub it to pieces
The sting of pain cleared Logan’s head a bit.
It was clear Yelena and Sawako were still newcomers and needed some careful guidance.
So Logan told Nabo to use the Enlarge skill again and activate the Tortoise Prism Armor.
With ridge-like plates rising around them like mountains and closing off the space, Logan couldn’t hold back anymore. He pulled Sawako into his arms.
Warmth wrapped around them, and Logan kissed her gently.
Sawako responded awkwardly, sometimes frowning from the discomfort, sometimes letting out soft, pleased sounds.
Yelena hugged Logan from behind and awkwardly caressed his muscles.
As a result, upon hearing Sawako’s voice, Yelena seemed stimulated and grabbed Logan’s arm, placing it between her own legs. "I want it too," she said.
Gradually, Logan, Yelena, and Sawako were all lost in the ocean of joy, unable to extricate themselves.
Until nightfall, the sea breeze blew a hint of coolness, and the three of them woke up from Nabo’s back.
After a day of madness, both girls were a little shy.
They want to say something else, but they don’t know where to start.
Just then, Logan’s phone rang. When he looked, there were hundreds of missed calls, all from Sophia. He picked up, and even through the phone he could hear Sophia roaring: "Logan! Are you three still not done? Everyone else is out already—we’re all waiting for you!"
From her tone, Logan was sure she had something to do with this. "Chief Instructor, shouldn’t you explain the prize to us first?"
"Explain what? You got the benefits, plus two girls thrown in. Still not satisfied?"Sophia sounded gleeful, not seeing anything wrong.
Logan wanted to press her, but Sophia lowered her voice and warned, "The World Tree fruit was also from Natalia. She’s the one who set you up. Just come out first."
Logan was stunned.
He couldn’t understand why Natalia would do that.
"It’s okay, Logan. Yelena and I don’t blame you. As long as you don’t hate us,"Sawako said softly when she saw his gloomy look.
Yelena took Logan’s arm and leaned her face against it. "Let’s go."
While the three of them were on their way, on a small island at the edge of the Blood Cultivation Realm, Natalia and Old Corleone stood side by side in silence.
They didn’t speak until the tide slowly covered the beach. Old Corleone finally sighed. "Your eye is sharp. Logan is a real talent. You shouldn’t let Storm Wind City and Edo Castle benefit from him."
Natalia’s face turned cold. "Not them—so you want me to hand him to you?"
Hearing the sarcasm, Old Corleone sighed again. "At the very least, make him the Corleone family’s son-in-law. Let him marry Evelynna—honestly, even you. I wouldn’t mind."
Natalia’s expression almost twisted at his cold words. "So after all these years, you’re still the same cold-blooded head of the Corleone family, Lord Mike Corleone!"
"Every family member must carry the family’s duty,"Old Corleone said as he lit a cigarette. "That includes me, and it includes you and your sister."
