Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 892: Chapter 517: The Ruins from 5 Epochs Ago_2

Logan could still hear the words that were being said in front of him, but he thought them too foolish to warrant his attention, so he simply walked on straight ahead.

At this time, only Dwayne Johnson was left to return by himself, holding a bottle worth over 1.3 million, feeling utterly shocked.

He even felt that the auction item suddenly seemed worthless.

He had no idea when he would be able to make up for the million-plus loss, and it seemed that the only moment he felt happy after acquiring the bowl was when he mocked Logan for an instant; all other times, he felt a tremendous pressure.

So, he returned to his mansion with a dark expression on his face.

…

...

“Young Master Johnson, you’re back. Let me pour you a cup of tea,”

At this time, upon seeing Dwayne Johnson returning, the servant immediately came forward.

Whenever Keth Johnson was at home, he stood like a proud protagonist, exuding a natural, inherent majesty. His gaze always seemed aloof, and he rarely deigned to truly look down upon the servants, as if they did not exist within his visual field. This attitude subtly conveyed his contempt for the servants, as though they were merely supporting characters in his life, while he was the absolute Dominator of the household.

In Keth’s eyes, the household servants appeared as minor characters in his life, their existence seemingly meant only to highlight his nobility and authority. He seldom met their gaze, let alone take them to heart. His attitude was like that of a king in an ancient castle, indifferent to the lives of his subjects, concerned only with his own power and status.

There actually wasn’t much he did himself.

Most things were done by ordering the servants.

“How is this tea so cold tonight?!”

The old maid had intended just to brew a cup of tea for Dwayne Johnson after all, considering it was getting late and he had just come back, he must have been quite thirsty.

However, the maid had waited a long time, and as Dwayne Johnson did not return soon, the tea inadvertently went cold.

The maid immediately knelt on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly.

“Young Master Johnson, please quell your anger. It’s my fault. I will go and brew you a fresh cup right now.”

Dwayne Johnson’s mood was already sour today, but he figured there was no use getting angry over such a trifle.

Thus, he merely snorted coldly, allowing the maid to go make another cup of tea.

Just as the maid was about to bring it over, she suddenly felt like there was something beneath her, tripping her step.

“Ow ow, my tea…”

At this time, the maid’s whole body was already unstable, her center of gravity shaky, and her hand holding the teacup was also wobbling.

The maid was advanced in years, and she didn’t have the flexibility of young people.

The next second, she tumbled forward, sprawling in front of Dwayne Johnson, but the tea had all spilled from the cup.

“What’s the matter with you! Can’t you even make a cup of tea correctly?”

Dwayne Johnson looked at the old maid before him, her manner so agitated and her actions clumsy and haphazard, which caused him to feel displeased. Her disordered steps, her trembling hands, and the occasional confused look in her eyes all made him feel that this so-called maid was far from meeting his standards. The anger he had been repressing was like a lit fuse, rapidly spreading through his heart, ready to explode at any moment.

“It seems that the usual training is still insufficient, and the discipline I teach you lowly people is also lacking. Today, you must be punished,”

Upon hearing these words, the old maid was very worried.

“I’m sorry, so sorry, Young Master Johnson. Rest assured, I will be more careful next time. It was truly my mistake, please give me another chance,”

The maid was truly frightened; she hadn’t expected such an incident to happen, and she very much wanted to steady herself, but she couldn’t.

Upon hearing these words, Dwayne Johnson let out a cold laugh.

“Why should I forgive you? If you can’t even get such a small matter right, you’re worse than useless!”

Having returned from the auction today, he had already been simmering with pent-up anger.

He felt like he had to vent today, otherwise, he was going to suffocate from the frustration.

Seeing Dwayne Johnson in such a rage, the maid’s heart had risen to her throat.

She didn’t know how to plead for mercy anymore. Although Dwayne Johnson would get angry from time to time, he had never been as harsh as he was today.

Moreover, the maid felt she was old and some mistakes were inevitable, but she truly wished to keep her job and didn’t want to lose it.

“Even if you kneel here until death today, I will not forgive you. You must be punished so that you remember this lesson. Otherwise, you will make the same mistakes again,”

Hearing these words, the maid was nearly in despair, not expecting Dwayne Johnson to be so decisive.

“Enough, there’s no use talking further. Take her down and administer forty strokes of the big board. If you survive, you can say you’re lucky; but if you don’t, it means you weren’t meant to live!”

Dwayne Johnson’s gaze was as cold as frost in deep winter, sharp enough to seem as if it could pierce one’s heart. When he stared at the maid, those deep eyes had lost all warmth, treating her like an inanimate object, as if looking at a soul that had already departed. The indifference and ruthlessness made one shudder, as though his look carried a breath of death, unbearable to meet.
