Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 902: 520

However, Dwayne Johnson simply couldn’t hear Ellie’s dissuasion. His heart was full of urgency, and he pushed the petite Ellie aside in an attempt to burst into the room. Ellie’s body was frail, and with his fierce shove, she stumbled down like a leaf in the autumn wind, her cloth bundle also slipping from her hand.

In the astonished eyes of the onlookers, a brown elixir rolled out of the cloth bundle, revealing itself before them. Under the reflection of the morning light, the elixir flickered with a faint luster, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

Dwayne Johnson’s gaze was instantly attracted to the elixir. His eyes sparkled with greed. As a cultivator, he naturally could sense the thick spiritual energy emanating from the elixir. Pure and powerful, it was beyond what ordinary items could match. He knew that this elixir must be a treasure of immeasurable value.

Before Ellie had even realized the elixir had fallen, Dwayne Johnson had already snatched it up, clutching the elixir tightly in his palm. A smug smile spread across his face, as if he had already claimed the elixir as his own.

Dwayne Johnson slowly stood up, muttering to himself.

“This elixir is a good thing, I’m afraid it could grant longevity.”

...

Upon seeing the elixir, Young Master Johnson’s greedy gaze locked onto it like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, quickly gripping it firmly in his hand, as if wanting to absorb all its dense spiritual energy into his body. Seeing this, Ellie panicked, desperately trying to snatch back the extremely important elixir. However, Young Master Johnson cunningly sidestepped, cleverly dodging Ellie’s outstretched hand.

Ellie watched helplessly as Young Master Johnson pocketed the elixir, her heart filled with extreme anxiety. She tried to step forward again to snatch it, but Young Master Johnson was already on guard, laughing smugly as he held the elixir high, as if flaunting his victory to Ellie. Seeing Young Master Johnson’s greedy and cunning smile, a surge of anger welled up in Ellie’s heart, but she also knew that her rage wouldn’t solve the problem at hand; she had to calm down and find an opportunity to retrieve the elixir.

“Young Master Johnson, please return the elixir to me. It’s not mine; I have to return it to someone else. Please give it to me!”

Young Master Johnson’s eyes flickered, a sinister and treacherous idea quietly took root in his mind, like a venomous snake in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike.

“What, your elixir? It was originally my possession! You took the opportunity to steal it from me last time, I’m just taking back what’s mine. Have I broken any laws? You wicked woman, after stealing my property, you actually want to claim it for yourself.”

Although there was a sizable crowd enjoying the spectacle, no one dared to say Young Master Johnson had taken something of Ellie’s.

The onlookers stood as if petrified, rigidly motionless, as if the very air had solidified. None of them dared to speak a word of justice for Ellie. Perhaps their hearts were filled with sympathy, but faced with Young Master Johnson’s power and authority, they chose silence, leaving Ellie isolated and without support.

Indeed, everyone feared Young Master Johnson, afraid they might be his next target. Thus, they all silently enjoyed the show, none daring to utter a word.

Seeing the elixir was unrecoverable, Ellie’s despair peaked.

It was an elixir Logan had given her for her mother’s treatment, but now that the elixir was gone, and her mother remained untreated, the local bully benefited instead.

With a slight raise of his eyebrow, Dwayne Johnson arrogantly glanced at Ellie, then turned to leave.

By a stroke of luck, Logan had just arrived near Cuier’s House.

He originally came to check whether any abnormality had occurred after Ellie’s mother had taken the elixir, but he happened to encounter this scene.

Only then did he realize that Ellie’s mother hadn’t taken the elixir the day before.

Among the crowd, Logan stood out as he made his way directly toward Ellie, helping her up. His voice was coldly reproachful.

“Dwayne Johnson, do you even have the face to show up here? Which dog was just saying that the elixir belonged to their family?”

Logan’s gaze was fixed on the clenched palm of Dwayne Johnson. He had already seen the elixir in his grip.

“Was it developed by the Johnson Family? How come I haven’t heard that your family’s skills have become this remarkable? You should know that this is no ordinary elixir, and lying is not good.”

Logan was confident; the elixir was crafted using White Elizabeth’s Furnace Cauldron, and the spiritual energy it contained wasn’t something any ordinary cauldron could match.

If put on the market, this elixir would be worth the frenzy of countless people, as it promised extended life, which is what ordinary people desire.

If the Johnson Family could truly develop such an elixir, then the name of Logan might as well be written backward.
