After a brief hesitation, Logan Bennett finally took a big step and left his home.

Since occupying this body, it was the first time he had left this courtyard. As soon as he stepped out, someone greeted him. Logan Bennett responded to each person according to the memories in his mind, quickening his pace, and in a short while, he had already left the village.

The place where his family lived was a small town with over a hundred households. However, apart from Chad Sullivan and Mr. Foster, no one else could make him feel any attachment.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, his steps became faster and faster, and before long, he had left the village and entered the wild hills behind it.

Although this was a mountainous area, because it was close to the village, there were no large wild beasts living here.

Logan Bennett stretched his legs, about to run freely here and test just how much his body had changed, when his ears twitched slightly.

For some reason, after yesterday’s infusion of star power, his hearing seemed to have become extremely sharp, especially sensitive to the sound of footsteps.

His heart stirred, and he crouched down, hiding himself in the grass.

A moment later, two figures appeared nearby, one after the other. Their faces were covered with thick veils, completely concealing their features. When they stopped and looked around, Logan Bennett couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his chest.

Although there was no evidence, he just had a feeling that these two people were here for him.

The two looked around for a long time but still found nothing. They exchanged glances, and finally one of them said, “Big brother, do you think that kid has already taken the Star Marrow Pill?”

The other hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I don’t know, but whether he has or not, since the two of us have found this opportunity, we absolutely can’t let it slip by.” He clenched his fists and said angrily, “Why does he get the Star Marrow Pill and we don’t? It’s just not fair.”

Logan Bennett didn’t dare move a muscle in the grass. Although he had military experience in his previous life, the body he was in now was still just a half-grown child. And the two masked men before him exuded a fierce aura, making him even more cautious.

However, sometimes, even if you don’t want trouble, trouble will come looking for you.

Just as Logan Bennett realized these two were indeed after him, he panicked slightly and couldn’t help but take a step back, accidentally stepping on a dry branch. The brittle branch couldn’t bear his weight and snapped with a “crack.”

The two masked men were startled, exchanged a glance, and hurried over.

At this point, even if Logan Bennett wanted to run, it was clearly too late. He gave a wry smile, stood up, cupped his fists toward the two, and said, “Gentlemen, sorry to disturb you.”

The two were overjoyed and burst out laughing. One of them said loudly, “Young Master Bennett, where is the Star Marrow Pill? Hand it over obediently, and I’ll spare your life.”

The other nodded repeatedly and said, “That’s right, hand it over quickly.”

Their four eyes glowed green like wolves, radiating endless greed.

For the vast majority of ordinary people in this world, the Star Marrow Pill was the only way to improve their status. For this spiritual pill, it was worth risking their lives.

Logan Bennett took a deep breath, trying to suppress his rapidly beating heart that was almost in his throat. His hands hung loosely at his sides, making no moves that could be misunderstood.

Then, he slowly said, “Gentlemen, you must be mistaken. I am just an ordinary person—how could I possibly possess such a treasure as the Star Marrow Pill?” He paused, then added, “If I really had a Star Marrow Pill, how could I still be a useless person unable to absorb star power?”

The two were stunned, exchanged a glance, and one sneered, “Young Master Bennett, there’s no need to lie to us. Hmph, your sister already got a Star Marrow Pill from the city lord. As long as you hand it over, we’ll leave and won’t harm you.”

A look of anger immediately appeared on Logan Bennett’s face. “Gentlemen, don’t be misled by rumors. When has my sister ever gotten a Star Marrow Pill?” He spoke quickly, almost without hesitation: “May I ask, from whom did you hear this news?”

One of them blurted out, “It was Mao—”

“Shut up.” The other barked sharply, then turned and said, “Young Master Bennett, there’s no need to ask so many questions. Whether you have the Star Marrow Pill or not, you must hand it over today.” He grinned maliciously. “If you have it, all the better. If not, well, we’ll just have to capture you and make your sister trade the Star Marrow Pill for you.”

Logan Bennett suddenly lifted his head, and in that moment, his gaze became sharp.

Perhaps because of this body, Violet Bennett was like a reverse scale in his heart—no one could be allowed to insult her.
