Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 924: Chapter 529: The Bones of the Saint King

At that time, Maya Leaf was cultivating through trials abroad when she suddenly received a thousand-mile transmitting message.

She had just slain a Fiery Flame Beast, its blood splattering onto her face.

While her beautiful face grew even more striking, there was a chilling and hostile aura about her.

She was not alone; there were a few people with her, one woman and two men.

Initially, she had been acting alone, but she encountered disciples from her Sect while collecting evidence, and they invited her to join them. Since collecting evidence was not urgent, Maya Leaf simply agreed.

“Senior Sister, it seems to be a message from the Family Clan, you should check it out quickly,” one of them said.

These three people were from the Johnson Family and naturally cared deeply about the family’s affairs, but Maya Leaf was different. Compared with their urgency, she seemed nonchalant.

This made the few of them quite anxious, almost wishing they could open the message themselves.

However, the message was meant for Maya Leaf, and they had no right to seize it.

Besides, Maya Leaf was far stronger than they were; even if they were dissatisfied, they could only suppress it, leaving everything to her discretion.

Although Maya Leaf was unhurried, she still broke the seal on the Dharma device carrying the message, letting the voice within be heard, with no intention of concealing it.

One woman and two men gathered around, listening intently to the information.

After hearing the entire message, their expressions shifted slightly.

“What a piece of work that Logan is; where did this person come from? We’ve never heard of him before, and now he dares to trample on the Johnson Mansion. He’s simply courting death!”

“Hmph, daring to kill our Johnson Family’s people is like declaring war on our Johnson Family. These days, there aren’t many who dare to provoke our Johnson Family!”

These individuals were used to throwing their weight around on the strength of their family’s reputation.

But they also knew that their fates were intertwined with the Johnson Family’s; they would share in its glory as well as its losses.

Now, someone had dared to harm the interests of the entire Johnson Family, and as part of the family, they naturally felt it was their duty to act.

“Senior Sister Maya, we should hurry back to the Johnson Family and lend them a helping hand,” one suggested.

“Exactly, some upstart doesn’t know his own limitations, daring to provoke the Johnson Family, acting as if it were without protectors. Even if none of us is a match for him alone, by combining the force of the entire Johnson Family, surely we can overcome this so-called Logan. Senior Sister Maya, your strength has always been exceptional among us. Going forward, we will likely need you to exert yourself more,” said a man as he clasped his hands toward her, his eyes carrying a sycophantic gleam.

The only woman among them pursed her lips in clear dissatisfaction. When her gaze fell on Maya Leaf, it was tinged with antagonism and a hint of envy.

So what!

It’s just cultivation achieved with the help of resources thanks to having good parents.

All day she behaves aloof and proud, expecting those around her to flatter her. This woman had never been treated that way and felt strong discontent toward Maya Leaf.

Hearing their words, Maya Leaf glanced lazily at the man, her look seemingly mocking.

“Does everyone in the Johnson Family think as highly of themselves as you do, believing they are above rebuke? Do you even know the reason behind this? Do you understand the cause and effect at play? How do you know if it wasn’t someone from the Johnson Family who provoked others first, leading to this disaster? Instead of reflecting on that, you’re thinking of how to harm others. How utterly shameless!”

None of them expected Maya Leaf to say such a thing and they were all stunned.

While the two men did not know how to respond,

the woman stepped forward, pointing her finger directly at Maya Leaf.

“What do you mean ‘your Johnson Family’? Aren’t you a member of the Johnson Family too? You also carry the Johnson bloodline. Hmph, in the end, it’s not the same surname, and with the prestige of your maternal family behind you, you really think you’re something special!”

She looked around at the two men accompanying her, not forgetting to poison the well.

“I’ve said it before, Maya Leaf doesn’t share our concerns. Even our surnames are different. How can you expect her to stand up for the Johnson Family? Hmph, it’s pitiful how well the Johnson Family has treated her. She’s truly an ingrate!”

Hearing this, Maya Leaf suddenly turned around, crossed her arms, and gave the woman a glance.

“Oh, it seems you think the Johnson Family has suffered a great loss by investing in me, right?”

The woman, under such a mocking gaze, inexplicably felt an ominous premonition.

But upon reflection, she believed her words were correct and replied with conviction.

“Exactly, the Johnson Family has invested so much in you, raising you as an elite, but you speak such heartless words. If not an ingrate, what are you?”

“Hmph!”

Maya Leaf snorted coldly, and the next moment, she scoffed, her face full of derision.

“Ridiculous. It seems you Johnson Family disciples only know to fixate on what the Family has given, oblivious to everything else.”

Saying this, she noted their faces darkening as expected, then she continued calmly,

“Why don’t you consider who is responsible for the Spirit Beasts the Family has hunted down, or the strange and precious plants brought back? Do you really believe the Johnson Family cultivates talents out of pure generosity? Where in the world does such a good thing exist? The Johnson Family cultivates you, but does that mean you have nothing to do in return? The strange treasures and opportunities you acquire during your journeys, the treasures you find; in the end, whose hands do they fall into if not the Johnson Family’s?”

As she spoke, her voice grew louder, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

“Yes, I admit the Johnson Family has invested a lot in me, but what I have repaid is not insignificant. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement. I don’t understand how you have the nerve to talk about one-sided contributions. It seems your brains must have been smeared with filth, or perhaps the Johnson Family has brainwashed you. Next time you speak, remember to use your brain and not make a fool of yourself!”
