I Want to Die, But I Am Immortal
Chapter 167: Logan
Logan's father Steve came in front of him. He walked slowly with the help of his two aides. He sat down on the sofa where Logan had been sitting a little while ago.
And after sitting down he let out a deep breath. A long weary sigh that showed that his body was not supporting him anymore. Then he looked at the people present there. Who were already very scared.
They stood with their heads bowed. And he said in a very authoritative voice "What a mess you have made. I have worked so hard to build this whole family. All of you are useless." Hearing this all the people started to tremble.
Because Steve was very famous for his cruelty. He did not forgive the one who was at fault. Even if it was his family members. He was a man of high standards and he expected nothing less from those around him.
Logan was also very scared at this time and was standing in his place. He could not think of what to answer his father.
Then Steve started to cough while speaking. It was a deep rattling cough that shook his frail body. Seeing this Logan moved forward. He wanted to support his father. And to put his hand on his back. But then Steve showed his hand towards Logan and stopped him in his place. And stopping his cough he looked at all of them and said "All of you have ruined the name of this family today. If my condition was not better you all would not have seen the sun tomorrow." After saying this Steve stood up.
Immediately after which the people who had brought Steve downstairs came right next to Steve. And they became his support. Steve put his hand on the shoulders of all of them. And then he said "So the Loko family is standing against us. I always knew. That family was always looking at our territory. But I ignored this. But it seems that it is not possible anymore." Steve knew this for a long time.
He was one of those few people who had seen this Royal Family rise from a very low level. So he knew how much his ancestors had worked. Steve was very young when his whole family the Roundhall family used to be a small family of a small underworld. His grandfather and his father had brought this whole family to this position today. That is why Steve considered the name of this family to be very prestigious. And he did not want to let the name of his family be ruined under any circumstances. And he would not let that happen under any circumstances.
Then Steve looked at the people present there. He said "First bring that man here. Because of whom all this has happened." After hearing this all the people looked at each other. Then Logan looked at all of them and shouted "Bring Clint here. He should be alive." Steve stood there quietly.
And then he immediately said looking at Logan "Call the Loko family. I will talk to them." Hearing this Logan was also very surprised. Because he knew how egoistic his father was. He would not easily listen to anyone's words. Or he would not bow down to anyone. Logan was seeing his father initiate to talk to another person especially another family for the first time. Which was also a very new thing for Logan himself.
He immediately looked at his man. Who immediately brought a phone. Which had gold coating. And it had a diamond embedded in it. Steve handed that phone to his men. After which his men immediately understood his words. And they immediately called the Loko family from that phone. Which connected immediately.
After ringing for a few moments a member of the Loko family picked up that call. And he said in a deep voice "It's very surprising. That the Roundhall family is contacting us." After hearing this Steve was about to speak. Then the man who was on the other phone said "But I knew that you would definitely call me. And I know that you are Steve." Hearing this Logan was very surprised. He did not think that the Loko family was waiting for their call. After knowing this Logan understood that the Loko family would definitely ask for something very big to stop this war. And he wanted to refuse this. But he did not have the courage to refuse his father.
As soon as Steve heard this he thought about the deep matter. And letting out a deep breath he said "Clerk I will accept only one of your conditions. And that too a condition in which my family will not suffer much loss." After hearing this silence spread all around. Because no one had expected that Steve would so quickly be ready to accept the Loko family's condition. As soon as Logan heard this he moved towards his father. But his father raised his hand towards Logan without looking at him. Seeing this he understood that his father was very serious.
Then Clerk who was on the other side of the phone started to laugh. He said "I had heard that Steve does not bow down to anyone. But it seems that your age has now become your biggest weakness. Because your son is also a very big fool." Hearing this Logan started to get very angry. And he turned his hand into a fist.
But he stopped himself. Because he knew that his situation was not very good. Then Steve said "Do you want to make a deal? Or are you also ready to fight like children Clerk?" Hearing this Clerk's laughter immediately disappeared. And he said seriously "I want to take all the families who have supported me under my wing. And I will take the guarantee of stopping this war. And you will have to give the Song family as a punishment." Hearing this Steve answered without thinking "I accept your condition. But in return you will have to swear by your family that you will not have any conflict against us for about 3 years. But you will have to support our family."
Hearing this Clerk became completely silent. Now he was understanding why Steve's reputation was so high everywhere. That Steve does not bow down to anyone. Now he was understanding why Steve had so easily bowed down to him. Because Steve also had his own condition. Hearing and thinking this he smiled. He said "You have become very old. But despite that you are still very clever." Steve was not affected at all by hearing this. Logan and all the people present there were very surprised. Because they thought that Steve had completely given up. But as soon as he accepted the condition and put his own condition a ray of hope dawned on everyone's face. They knew that Steve who was the head of this family would not give up so easily.
Then Steve spoke again. "Have you gone deaf Clerk? Or are you just a family head in name?" Hearing this Clerk whose face had a smile on it immediately disappeared. He immediately said "Steve I accept your condition. I accept your condition." Hearing this everyone's face present there blossomed with happiness. Then Clerk spoke again. "But along with this if I find out about any operation in my territory I will stop all these conditions and start a war against you." Saying this he cut the phone. And he did not even listen to Steve's reaction.
As soon as Steve had completed this he threw that phone in the air. The other man who was standing next to Steve snatched and caught that phone. So that it would not fall down. And moving forward he handed that phone to Logan. Logan was very surprised. He had not expected that his father could stop such a big conflict even in such a sick condition. Otherwise only this was going on in Logan's mind.
That how he had to fight this war. It had not occurred to him at all that he should directly deal with the Loko family. And even if Logan had to directly deal with the Loko family he knew that the Loko family would not accept any peace proposal by listening to any of his words and accepting any condition. They were a proud and powerful family. And they would not have negotiated with a man like Logan. They would have seen it as a sign of weakness.
And they would have exploited it. But Steve was different. He was a master of diplomacy and deception. He had a way of getting what he wanted. Even when he seemed to be at a disadvantage. He was a true leader. And Logan knew that he had a lot to learn from him.
He watched his father with a new sense of respect and admiration. He realized that there was more to power than just brute force. There was also wisdom and cunning. And his father had both in abundance. He was a formidable opponent. And a valuable ally. And Logan was glad that he was on his side. He knew that with his father's guidance they could overcome any obstacle. They could defeat any enemy.
They could rebuild their family's empire. And they could restore their family's honor. The road ahead was long and difficult. But they would walk it together. As a family. And they would emerge victorious. Logan was sure of it. He had a renewed sense of hope. A renewed sense of purpose. And a renewed sense of loyalty to his family. He would do whatever it took to protect them. To serve them. To honor them.
He was a Roundhall. And he would not let his family down. He would make his father proud.
