A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 275

"Who's the brave soul that chopped down a tree with a chef's knife?" Herne asked as he looked toward Connor.

"Not me." Connor shook his head and pointed at Demi. "Our team leader is the one who did it."

Herne also turned to Demi and said firmly, "Are you guys kidding me? You let a young woman chop down trees while you all just stood there?"

"Mr. Quinn, they're not lying," George said when sitting next to him.

"Alright. You guys are soaked. Come sit by the fire and dry off." Nigel called out to them.

"Don't mind if we do." George was the first to sit down on the rock by the stove.

Chad and Sam followed next. Seeing how George and the other two were making themselves comfortable, everyone else quickly joined them by the stove. The Pitt siblings also came forward and boldly sat beside the stove.

Even though they had warmed up after eating, they still felt uncomfortable with their wet clothes sticking on their body. Nigel, Matt, Connor, and Tyler exchanged glances and ran outside to carry more rocks into the tent.

...

Not long after, the clothes on Herne and his team were dry.

"Just sitting here doing nothing is boring. Why don't we play a game?" Herne spoke.

"What game?" everyone asked.

"Truth or dare. Is that okay?" Herne smiled.

"Sure."

"I'm fine with it."

Everyone nodded.

Then, everyone formed a circle according to Herne's instructions. A moisture-proof mat was placed in the middle of the circle.

"Let's start from me. Whoever the spoon handle points at is the one," Herne explained as he took out a spoon and turned it.

Herne was stunned. He had been curious about the rivalry between Demi and the Pitt siblings, but he hadn't expected her to be this honest.

"Okay, okay. Let's continue," Maria said.

"It's your turn, Ms. Moone." Herne smiled.

Demi picked up the spoon and turned the handle casually. By saying she did it casually, it's because she could easily turn the handle to anyone she desired. But, she didn't have anyone particular in mind at the moment.

The spoon whirled around quickly and slowly stopped. Coincidentally, the spoon handle pointed at Ana of all people.

Everyone, including Demi, was speechless at the result.

"Truth or dare?" Demi asked in a cold voice.

Ana gritted her teeth and said, "Dare."

She was afraid Demi would ask something she couldn't handle if she chose "truth".
