Deities: Starting From Goblins

Chapter 898: Chapter 519: Human Federation, 9th?_2

Without a second thought, he intended to retaliate.

However, just as the man attempted to fight back against Logan, taking a step forward, Logan restrained him once again, rendering his body immobile. To say the least, it was an embarrassing predicament that left the man both angry and anxious.

Logan issued a stern warning to them, saying,

“I’ve already told you, I’m no ordinary man. Yet you still choose to provoke me. Well, there’s nothing I can do about that. If anyone dares to come forward and try to take Ellie, I’ll beat them down, just come at me if you wish to throw away your life!”

With an unshakable domineering aura, Logan firmly protected Ellie. His voice was as resolute as steel, every word and sentence exuding undeniable authority. With his resounding words, the air around them seemed to freeze; no one dared to take a step closer. The crowd was overawed by his presence, only able to gaze at him from a distance, their hearts filled with reverence.

After all, everyone was relatively new to this, and nobody was willing to risk their lives for Young Master Johnson.

...

Therefore, they wisely turned and quietly left, their departure a pitiable retreat that was quite satisfying to witness.

Ellie watched as Logan drove away the villains, her heart flooded with gratitude for her savior.

She had saved him more than once, and this time, having rescued him from fire and water, she regarded him even more so as her lifesaver.

Indeed, she got up, dusted off the dirt on her face, and then addressed Logan with great sincerity,

“My savior, thank you. You’ve saved me more than once. How can I ever repay you?”

Ellie suddenly patted her head, realizing she had not yet invited her savior inside. It was inappropriate to have the lifesaver standing outside.

So, she quickly patted her forehead, speaking to Logan,

“Oh, right, I forgot. I should take you inside now. Please come in; don’t mind if our place is a bit humble. Let me invite you for a meal.”

How could Logan disdain Ellie’s humble origins? He wasn’t after her money or anything. He humbly responded,

“Ellie, how can you say that? It’s no trouble at all. Just treat me to a feast; I’ve never had the opportunity to taste food prepared by you. How about you treat me to a meal today?”

With these words, Logan managed to close the distance between them considerably.

He didn’t harbor any disgust for her modest family background, but rather accepted it with grace.

No longer dwelling silently on the matter, he pondered what was available in his kitchen, muttering to himself,

“What shall I make today? I could cook some hand-torn cabbage. There seems to be a little bit of Little White cabbage left at home, and some meat stocked up. I’ll stir-fry some pork belly, buy some nice things for him to eat, yes, stir-fry a few side dishes, and a bit of meat should do.”

Logan stood by, watching the somewhat busy Ellie, who suddenly looked up at him as if something dawned on her. She quickly said to Logan,

“Oh, that’s right, silly me, how could I forget? I’ll go get a stool right away, it’s not right to have you standing around like that. Here, take a seat and rest while I quickly make some food; we’ll be ready to eat in no time.”

Logan smiled gently, giving off an extremely approachable vibe as he spoke to Ellie,

“It’s okay, don’t worry about me. You do your thing; I’m not so delicate. I can find a stool myself to sit on. Meanwhile, I’ll go outside to check if those troublemakers are still around and pick a few fruits for you.”

Ellie’s anxiety melted away at Logan’s firm and forceful words. She deeply understood that the man before her was not bound by conventional societal rules. His extraordinary freedom and unconventionality stirred sincere envy in Ellie. She longed to live as freely and unencumbered as Logan. Under Logan’s protection, Ellie felt an unprecedented sense of safety and trust, knowing she had found a true pillar of support.

How she too yearned to be like him, but…

Ellie pondered, sighing softly, yet reminded herself that she wasn’t all that bad, for she possessed many skills, survival skills no less.

She just hadn’t lived as untroubled a life as Logan.

After all, everyone bears different burdens. She had not only herself to think of but also her sick mother to care for in bed.

Nevertheless, she never complained, believing there was a reason for everything.

In no time at all, Ellie prepared a modest yet presentable meal. Although it looked simple, it was the best she could offer.

Not everyone lived in affluence, and Ellie’s life was quite frugal, but she was still willing to offer Logan the best food her household had.

That thought was noble indeed since she was someone who understood the virtue of reciprocation. Logan had saved her from peril multiple times; naturally, she wanted to offer him the best she had.

At that moment, the male protagonist strolled back inside, carrying fruits in his hands. He casually wiped them clean, then started to peel, and turned to Ellie saying,
