A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 282

"What are you guys trying to do?" Ana finally broke down after they had walked a distance away from the tent.

"We just want Demi to come home," Thomas said, looking frustrated.

"We agreed not to say anything in front of others. Why did you bring it up in front of so many people?" Ana asked, bursting into tears.

The entire night had been an ordeal for her because of Demi, and now her brothers had to make it worse.

"But Demi refused to talk to us in private. If we didn't say it there, when were we supposed to? Just keep dragging it out? It's already been long enough!" Thomas was also furious, and his voice rose as he spoke.

"Thomas!" Alex frowned, signaling him to calm down.

Then, he softened his expression and tone, saying to Ana, "I'm sorry, Annie. I admit we were a little impatient. But it seems like Demi doesn't want to expose the truth, likely because she doesn't want to completely sever ties with us. Right now, her not wanting to talk calmly is just her throwing a tantrum."

"Do you know how scared I was? Every time you went to talk to Demi, I was terrified she would spill everything. My heart always felt like it was in my throat!" Ana sobbed uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry…" Alex sighed, looking guilty. He pulled Ana into a hug and patted her back, trying to comfort her gently.

"Damn it!" Thomas kicked a nearby tree in anger.

He felt extremely frustrated.

Demi treated them with cold indifference, while Ana was full of resentment toward them. No matter what they did, it was always their fault.

…

It was half an hour before Alex and his siblings returned to the tent.

Alex looked helpless, while Thomas had a grim expression. Meanwhile, Ana's eyes were swollen and bloodshot from crying.

The rest of the room was puzzled. What the hell had happened?

Maria typed something on her phone and held it up for Demi to see. "What are you planning to do?"

Demi took the sword and slowly drew it from its scabbard.

The onlookers instantly erupted into cheers and applause.

Meanwhile, among the audience, six new faces had appeared—including Seamus and Felix.

Last night, they stayed in a nearby tent. It was only this morning, after hearing the staff discussing it, that they found out Demi had sung and done a sword dance yesterday, stunning everyone.

When Demi picked up the sword, she felt a surge of pride rise in her heart. Then, with a swish of the sword, she began to dance.

Compared to last night, the current Demi moved with even greater boldness and agility, her movements smoother and more powerful. Naturally, it was because she was holding a real sword, making it impossible to resist going all out.

The space was also large enough that she could move however she wanted to.

The comment section was completely silent—not because no one was watching, but because everyone was holding their breath, unwilling to even blink.
