A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 273

"I think it's George and his team!" Maria said after listening for a while.

They heard hurried footsteps outside their tent. A moment later, a group of people burst into the tent, bringing the coldness and dampness with them.

"Why are you guys here?" Demi and her team asked in surprise.

Sam exclaimed, "You guys do have fire here! I'm freezing! I need to warm up!"

Chad asked, "Do you guys have anything to eat? I'm starving!"

George said, "Demi, I think I have a stomach ache. Can you do some acupuncture for me?"

Demi and her team were confused.

"We still have some fish that we're saving for a late-night snack. It's beside the fireplace and still warm. Here you go." Wendy quickly regained her composure. She picked up the fish by the fire and handed them out to George and his team one by one.

When it was the Pitt siblings' turn, Wendy paused. Instead, she grabbed the pot from the side and placed it on the stove. "There's still some soup left, but it's a bit cold. Let me heat it up and then you guys can have some hot soup."

There was still one fish by the fire.

Maria handed out wooden spoons, but by the time she reached the Pitt siblings, there were none left.

On the other hand, Demi took out her acupuncture needle kit and walked toward George.

George held out one hand to Demi while eating the fish with the other. He had already rolled up his sleeves, so Demi got to work.

"Haha! It's like they haven't eaten in years!"

"I can't blame them. They've been starving the whole day."

"I thought Herne could at least stand a chance against Demi. But he failed in the end."

"Apart from anything else, no one could match her skill of starting a fire."

"Did you guys notice? Wendy and Maria didn't give any fish or spoons to Tommy and his siblings."

"Why is there still a fish there?" Herne's eyes lit up suddenly as he saw the last remaining fish. He reached for it and said, "Alex and the others still haven't eaten anything yet."

However, the fish was snatched away just as he reached for it.

Maria said, "Sorry, this is Tyler's late-night snack. He's still growing, so he'll get hungry if he doesn't eat enough."

Maybe not everyone knew why Demi was against the Pitt family. However, Maria was one of the few that knew the exact reason. So, she couldn't let any of the Pitt siblings have the fish Demi had worked so hard to catch.

"I don't…" Tyler wanted to say he didn't need the late-night snack but was stopped by Maria's glare. The finely roasted fish had also been shoved into his hand.

Tyler couldn't say a word.

The air around them was tense for an unknown reason. It made him realize he needed to eat this fish right now. But he was afraid that the others would see him as a selfish person if he just ate the fish without giving it to the Pitt siblings.

"Give it to me." Demi took the fish from Tyler's hands and started eating it slowly.

Unlike the others, she was not afraid to offend the Pitt siblings or getting flamed by the netizens.
