Chapter 151 Thunder-wood Fruit

The next morning, Sylvia woke up with the other members. After finishing their breakfast, they began to pack up for their next outing. Just then, she detected a gaze on her and turned around. “He-he.” Sylvia let out an evil grin when she saw who it was. “Ah!” Micaela, still suffering from the trauma Sylvia inflicted on her last night, jumped backward in fear when she saw the evil grin across Sylvia's lips. Her expression went pale, and her body began to tremble. Someone next to her saw her intense reaction and asked, “What is wrong with you? Are you alright?” “It's nothing.” Micaela shook her head and immediately moved away from her spot. She would rather not face that devilish smile. Yesterday, her skin was slashed through several times, almost leading her to pass out from blood loss. Not wanting her to faint, the latter would forcefully pour down a healing potion into her throat. And subsequently, the second round of torment would commence. How could that be the behavior of a normal person? She's definitely not normal. She's a total psychopath! “Tch.” Sylvia sneered when she saw Micaela's fleeing figure. She immediately lost interest in teasing her and began to pack up her belongings. While packing up, the sound of footsteps approached her which was followed by an inquisitive voice. “You are Sylvia, aren't you?” Sylvia didn’t need to turn around to know who the questioner was. “You certainly are. What are you doing out here? How did you become a member of the Tyron guild? Was it through the back door?”Sylvia turned around, coldly looking at the boy before her. “Move!” Her tone was icy, which made Julian subconsciously move to the side. When he realized what he had done, Julian's face turned red in embarrassment. “Don't yo--” Sylvia didn't bother to hear his complete sentence and walked away. “Who is he? Your friend?” Miley, who witnessed the scene, walked over to Sylvia and asked. “A previous classmate,” Sylvia responded. “No wonder he was staring at us during the dinner last night.” Miley glanced at Julian, who was still feeling embarrassed after being walked out on. Sensing Miley's gaze, he hurriedly ran away. “Tsk. What a weak guy. How did he even have the guts to venture outside the wilds?” “Are you all packed up? We should start setting off now.” Tyron announced. Just as they were about to leave, Rhett strode towards them. “President Tyron.” He called out in a flattery tone. “Are you all heading out? Thanks for letting me and my team members spend the night at your camp.” “It's no problem.” Tyron waved his hand, showing that he didn't mind. “Here.” A box appeared on Rhett's palm, and he extended it over to Tyron. “This is an apology gift for what one of my team members did yesterday.” Surely, Micaela's secret actions hadn't gone unnoticed by him. The loud scream in the forest last night was heard by almost everyone. Unlike Rhett had expected, Tyron didn't reach out for the box. Instead, he said, “It's not me you should apologize to, but to these two.” He pointed at Ian and Sylvia. “Ah, yes.” Rhett hurriedly moved towards Sylvia's position and bowed. “I'm so sorry, miss. I apologize for Micaela's misconduct. I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive her.” “Looking at your behavior, it looks like this is not the first time she has used such a trick on her victims. Why didn't she come here to apologize if she's indeed remorseful?” Sylvia stared at the man before her. “This…” Rhett became lost for words, but hurriedly cooked up a reason. “She wanted to apologize, but I told her that I would bear the responsibility myself. Don't worry, miss. I've already admonished her. So please rest assured that an incident like this will never happen in the future. I hope you will be lenient with her.” “Okay.” Sylvia didn't want to make it hard for the latter, since she had already carried out her punishment on Micaela. Taking an apology gift wasn't bad. She took the box away from Rhett's hand. “Tell her that I will be having my eyes on her if she doesn't want to experience what it feels like to be cut like a fish next time.” “Yes, I will relay your words to her.” Rhett forced a smile on his lips. What the hell do you mean by being cut like a fish? Just what kind of torture had Micaela passed through this girl last night? Since the apology gift had been accepted, Rhett immediately bid his farewell and left with his team. “Take it.” Sylvia pushed the box into Ian's hands. “It's meant for you, not me. I'm a girl, so her charm skill didn't put me at a disadvantage.” Looking down at the box in his hands, a thought came into Ian's mind. Was the reason why she held my face last night to prevent me from being affected by the woman's charm skill? Realizing that this might be the true reason, Ian felt a bit sad in his heart.“Since you helped me out, you also deserved part of the gift.” Ian opened the box and saw that there were two fruits lying inside it. A white gleam like lightning seems to be circling inside them. “A thunder-wood fruit!” Jose was surprised when he saw the fruit in the box. The thunder-wood tree is a tree that grows in a place that is affected by lightning. After being continuously struck by lightning for a hundred years, the thunder-wood tree would bear a fruit. This fruit is said to contain the accumulated power of lightning that had struck it for a hundred years. It's mostly beneficial to those who have a lightning ability. “That captain is so nice to gift out such a treasured fruit as an apology gift,” Kai said in awe. “Looks like he's afraid of getting on our guild's bad side and brought out his entire treasury.” “Unfortunately, neither of you two is a lightning ability user. Or else, the fruit would have been a good boost for you.” Milo shook his head. “It doesn't matter,” Ian said. “We can sell or exchange it at the hall for contribution points if we can’t use it.” He took out one of the fruits and passed it over to Sylvia. “Well, I won't stand on ceremony then.” Sylvia took the fruit and put it inside her ring. Although everyone was amazed by the preciousness of the thunder wood fruit, they soon forgot about it and headed out on their next adventure. The most important thing for them right now is to level up their skills. Their encounter with Rhett and his team members was just a passing-by scenario on their journey.
