During the first internal war selection of the Genius Training Camp, everyone knew that Logan had personally stepped in and saved a girl named Gwen in the Blood Cultivation Realm.

"Little Gwen, you're so close to Logan. Do you know what shape of chest he likes?"

"Hey Gwen, does Logan like tight or loose clothes? My chest is butterfly-shaped and a bit dark — do you think he'd not like it?"

"Little Gwen, can you send me Logan's friend code? I'll give you the latest Laubu plush toy in exchange!"

"Gwen, we're from the Logan Fan Council. We'd like to invite you to be our chairperson and organize Gwen fan events!"

…

Gwen felt the excitement around her, her heart almost beating out of her chest.

She was naturally shy and timid, but the members of the Genius Training Camp were all super enthusiastic.

Especially bad was the fact that not only were the girls asking about Logan, but even some big guys with thick chest hair and beards that looked like steel wool brushes were asking her about him too — that was really strange.

These guys were wearing lace, acting all flirty, and asking Gwen what shape of butt Logan liked. They said they could go to the gym and train to get it. Gwen was so shocked she blurted out, "Logan doesn't like guys!"

The men were not happy at all. They all put their hands on their hips and started arguing with Gwen.

"How do you know? He's never even tried!"

"Exactly, the new world needs exploring!

"Only men can understand a man's happiness!"

In the end, Gwen couldn't take it anymore. She slipped away in the chaos and hid under a pile of Logan posters.

No one disturbed her, so she picked up one of the posters and looked at it with envy and hope. "Ugh, I wish I had Logan's contact info. Gwen, you must work harder! Logan will finally see you one day!"

Unlike the crazy fans in Saint Heart City, people in other cities mostly saw Logan as a celebrity.

But not in Twilight City.

Just like Saint Heart City, Twilight City also held a big celebration.

This capital city, which had not seen any Genius Training Camp members for a long time, now had not just one talented young man named Logan, but also saved the Federation from a city-destroying disaster.

Now, every citizen of Twilight City saw Logan as their own pride and celebrated him.

On the city square, Principal Mark and Principal Charles stood side by side, quietly watching a hot-air balloon with Logan's photo float into the sky. Their faces were full of emotion.

"Mark, you really got lucky. Why isn't Logan your student?" Charles said with a jealous look, grumbling angrily, clearly not happy.

"Come on, it's because you only care about money and not people. I told you a long time ago — heroes don't care where they come from. You shouldn't look down on kids from poor backgrounds. There's a famous saying in the East: don't look down on a poor young man, because he might become rich one day. You don't even know that?" Mark said proudly, giving Charles a lecture.

To Mark's surprise, this time Charles didn't argue with him at all. Instead, he took out a small notebook and carefully wrote down everything Mark said.

It was like Mark was Charles' teacher, and it made Mark laugh out loud: "Haha, you finally got it!"

Charles checked his notes carefully, then wrote down what Mark had just said: ["Haha, you finally got it."]

When Mark saw that Charles was even writing this down, he was confused.

He snatched the notebook from Charles and shouted: "Are you stupid now or something?"

But Charles didn't care. He picked up his phone and said: "Starting tomorrow, we need to create new school rules. Every year, Dusk High School will offer full scholarships to 100 poor students with talent. We'll also give them interest-free loans and double their wages for part-time jobs!"

After saying that, Charles looked at Mark with a proud smile: "You just got lucky because of poor students. Next term, I'll fight you for them too. Let's see what you'll do then. Hmph!"

Mark watched Charles walk away confidently, and he was speechless.

He never expected that Logan's story would make Charles, who was always obsessed with money, change so much.

Dusk High School had always only accepted students from rich or upper-middle-class families. For Charles to make such a change, Mark was secretly proud of Logan.

"Logan, thanks for the poor students of Twilight City," Mark said. Then he looked around to make sure no one was watching, and quietly bowed to Logan's flag.

...

At the same time, while the whole federation was cheering for Logan, Logan himself had already returned to the WF101 checkpoint with Natalia.

Back in the human-controlled area, Logan took a close look at the wall in front of him, his face full of seriousness.

Compared to the blood-stained walls of the CEM38 camp, the wall of the WF101 checkpoint looked like a mirror—completely clean and spotless.

Natalia noticed what Logan was thinking and said, "Thanks to Bell and your hard work these days, the main force of the beast tide didn't damage the core area of Saint Heart City. You are truly heroes of the Federation."

Logan just nodded silently and walked through the gate.

In his heart, he felt angry for Bell Major and the death row soldiers.

It was a group of prisoners who had actually stood up and fought against the beast tide, saving the whole human race. That felt too unfair.

But when Logan thought about avenging Bell and protecting Bell's family, he didn't show any sign of anger or dissatisfaction.

He and Natalia walked into the city together.

Inside the wall, soldiers were lined up neatly. As soon as they saw Logan, they immediately saluted and showed their respect.

"Welcome home, Logan!"

"Welcome home, hero!"

"Welcome home, our comrade!"

Logan looked at the soldiers' shoulder badges and noticed that some of them were even officers. He looked surprised.

At that moment, General Philip stepped forward and came straight to Logan's side. "Kid, you've worked hard. You can trust every soldier here. Take some rest."

Logan just nodded silently again.

Just as Logan was following General Philip away, he suddenly noticed the soldiers behind him still saluting him. Every one of them had tears in their eyes.

"What's going on?" Logan asked Philip, looking confused.

"They were all Bell's subordinates. Greeting you is also like welcoming their commander back home," Philip sighed and turned around, walking back toward the command center.

Logan touched his space ring, then handed over the remains he had collected to Philip. "I'm sorry, I could only find these. Most of them were completely vaporized."

General Philip's hands trembled as he carefully held the ashes of Bell Major and the others. He turned to the soldiers and ordered: "Honor guards! Bring our soldiers home!"

"Wait!" Just as the honor guards were about to take the ashes to prepare for the funeral, Logan suddenly spoke up, "Can you bring Bell Major's family and the families of his fallen comrades here?"

When he heard Logan's request, Philip's expression froze.

At that moment, his face looked even older.

The atmosphere stayed quiet for about ten seconds before Philip finally said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Logan. We were too late. When we arrived at Bell's house, his family had already been killed."

At this, Philip's eyes flashed with anger.

The soldiers around them also looked furious.

At that moment, an officer stepped forward from the crowd and looked at Logan with a cold expression. "Right now, Bell Major's only sister, Rebecca, is at the WF101 checkpoint. We also brought back the bodies of the other soldiers' families."

When he heard the news, the calm look on Logan's face finally changed, and a cold, sharp expression appeared. "Why?"

No one in the room could answer his question.

Logan stared fiercely at General Philip and Natalia, and asked again: "Why didn't they even leave their families alone?"

General Philip knew what was coming next. He quickly grabbed Logan's shoulders and looked at him with a sharp, serious gaze. "Logan! Let the dead rest. I'll go with you to settle the scores later."

Hearing Philip's promise, one of the officers stood up and spoke in a low, serious voice. "Logan, we all once served under Bell Major. Even though we weren't sentenced to death, we were all stripped of our military ranks. Starting tomorrow, we won't be soldiers of the Federation anymore."

At this, the officer's face suddenly showed tears. "Please... let us send Bell Major off as soldiers."

"Please!"

"Please!"

...

One by one, the pleas kept hitting Logan's heart.

At that moment, a girl around Logan's age stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of him. "Let's bury your brother first. Let him be with your parents in another world."

Logan said nothing. He finally lowered his arms and stepped aside.

The honor guards quietly collected the soldiers' remains and placed them into military coffins, covering them with flags.

As the sad music started, more than 300 coffins—Bell, his soldiers, and their families—were laid together.

To Logan's surprise, the priest leading the funeral was Nancy.

She wore simple clothes, and behind her was Evelynna. The two stood in front of the coffins, praying.

Natalia stood behind them and placed the first bouquet of flowers.

Then General Philip followed, and everyone came forward to say goodbye to the fallen soldiers.

Only when the ceremony was over, and the coffins were loaded onto military trucks, did Logan turn to Rebecca and say, "Tell me, who were your brother's enemies? I want the list!"
