Interstellar Businesswoman Tycoon

Chapter 173 So Strong

“Come join in.” Letitia picked up the utensil placed at the side and started to eat. “The tail of the Luminous Snakefish is the most delicious part of its body. So, I had the men specially make it for you all. Why don't you try some?” She picked up a slice from the plate and put it inside the small bowl placed before Tyron. “Sorry, but none of my team members are hungry.” Tyron pushed the bowl away to the side as he said. “Really. What a pity.” Letitia lowered her head in dejection, as if she were truly sad at Tyron's rejection. However, Sylvia, who had been watching her movement all along, saw the little curve around the corner of her lips. She pulled her gaze away from Letitia and then looked over to the men who were standing in the distance, as if they were waiting for an order to be given. It appears that this peaceful atmosphere is about to be shattered soon. “You're right. The tail of the Luminous Snakefish indeed is the most delicious part of its body.” Sylvia's voice sounded from the table, which caught the happy Letitia off guard. She tilted her head up, listening to Sylvia's continuation. “But I think Miss Letitia of all people here should know best that the most poisonous part of the Luminous snakefish is also its tail.” As soon as Sylvia uttered this fact, the faces of Tyron and the others instantly went dark. But Sylvia didn't stop there. She continued. “When steamed in high heat, the tail releases a poisonous gas into the air, which then takes effect after thirty minutes, rendering all the energy in one's body useless.” “The only way to cure this poison is by eating the liver of the Luminous Snake fish itself. But why don't I see any fish liver on this plate? Could it be that this sumptuous dish you have your men prepare for us is our last death meal?” Tyron and the others' expressions had already turned gloomy at this moment.“I knew it.” Jose stood up angrily and kicked the table of food into the air, which then crashed to the ground in a loud bang. “I knew this woman was up to no good. I'm going to kill her!” A long sword appeared in his hand, and he slashed it forward at Letitia's neck. However, what happened next was something he didn't expect. The sword that was supposed to cut through a certain person's neck was now held between two slender fingers. “Ah.” Letitia let out a sigh, casually holding the blade between her fingers. “I knew that there was something off about you when I saw how calm you were. I should trust my instincts in the first moment.” She looked into Sylvia's eyes, wanting to know how the other party had discovered her plot. “Tell me, how did you find out?” The Luminous Snakefish is a unique marine creature found only on this island. Knowledge about them wasn't known to the outside world. So, Letitia was curious about how Sylvia had come to know the attributes of the sea beast. “How could I not find out?” Sylvia returned the question with a calm look. “Boss.” Jose looked back at Tyron with sweat on his face. No matter how hard he pulled at the sword, it didn't budge a bit under those slender fingers. It was as if it were lodged between two mountains. Before he could say any more words to Tyron, a loud crack came to his ears. The blade of the sword held between the woman's fingers was now lying shattered on the floor. “I don't care about how you found out.” Letitia's expression changed as she stood up from the mat. It was the kind of expression that Sylvia was familiar with in the end times. Those were the looks of a cannibal. “But since you people dare to ruin my meal, you are going to pay it with your flesh.” Her eyes instantly turned crazy, and she lunged straight at Sylvia. The men who were standing at the side also took action at the same time. They lunged straight at the team like a hungry beast unleashed for a meal. Sylvia immediately threw herself to the side and dodged Letitia's crazy charge. Tyron and the others also jumped to their feet, facing the burly men. ‘Crack.’ Walker inhaled sharply as the fist of one of the men smashed against his arms. A sharp pain overwhelmed him, and he could barely move his arms. It seems like he might have suffered a fracture in both arms. How can one be so strong? What was even more shocking is that none of the men were using any ability. Instead, they relied on their brute physical strength to contend against them. Luckily, they had Atlas, who was on their side, ready to deliver quick emergency treatment. Unfortunately, the poor guy still needs to watch against the attack of these cannibals while performing his job as a nanny. [Host, you have only twenty-two minutes. Once the effect of the poison fully takes effect, you won't be able to summon your strength.] Not just her but everyone, including Letitia and her men. But Sylvia wasn't that stupid to think that Letitia and her men wouldn't carry an antidote with them. “Why are you running like a coward? Why don't you stop and let me eat you?” Letitia shattered the tree Sylvia was hiding at with her fist. Her eyes were bloodshot red like a demon who came from hell. Her tongue dripped with liquid as she met Sylvia's face. “A smart one like you must taste so good.” Sylvia hurriedly sprinted into the deep forest, yet she couldn't outrun the crazy woman chasing behind her. This is why she hates dealing with cannibals. They are so troublesome.‘Woosh.’ A silvery light flashed from her body, and soon, Sky's towering figure appeared behind her, blocking the road. “Grrr.” The wolf king immediately bared his sharp fangs at the incoming threat before him. Letitia saw the huge wolf king blocking the road and laughed. “Ha-ha-ha. Do you think this little thing can stop me? Ha-ha. You must be looking down on me so much.” Before the Wolf King could show his might in the battle, he was instantly blown away by the fist that came crashing on his head. “Wooo, wooo.” Sky cried out as he crashed into the towering trees. On his head was a massive gash which was constantly bleeding out. Sylvia saw Sky's situation from her consciousness and immediately put him back to the contract space to heal. She already knew that Sky couldn't win against Letitia, but she hadn't thought that it would be an instant defeat. Thankfully, the Wolf King's sacrifice was worth the bit amount of time it bought for her. The pathway began to switch towards a rocky area. A dense amount of heat covered the area, but Sylvia continued to run without stopping. She was already far away from the team, and the loud battle in the distance could barely be heard. All that rang in her ears was the sound of running feet slapping across the rocky ground. Suddenly, her running movement came to a halt. Not that she was giving up, but because there was an entire active volcano blocking her way. The heat of the area rises to a high degree. But having spent a lot of time in the fire crystal mine, Sylvia didn't feel uncomfortable under such high heat. Letitia saw this and also stopped her movement.“Ha-ha-ha. Not running anymore. Come over and be my delicious meal for tonight.” Sylvia turned around, looking at the crazy woman before her. She was relatively silent, but in her mind, another conversation was going on. ‘Did you say that there are monsters residing inside the lava?' [Yes. I can sense several lifeforms inside it. But they seem to be in slumber and need something to trigger them awake.] Susu answered. Trigger? Before Sylvia could think of how to trigger them, the person in front of her had already taken action. Letitia's hand came forward like sharp claws. Sylvia hurriedly uses her windshield and evades to the side. Unfortunately, Letitia had already foreseen such a scenario happening and immediately changed her trajectory. Sylvia couldn't dodge in time and was soon hit in the chest. ‘Ptui.’ Blood sprayed out from her mouth, and her whole body flew backward. [Host!] Seeing that she was about to fall into the volcano, Sylvia hurriedly used the wind ability to steady herself at the edge of the crater, narrowly escaping the fate of being burned alive. “Pfft.” She spurted out another mouthful of blood. An intense pain came over her chest, and Sylvia knew that her chest bone must have been broken by that attack. Why is she so strong?“Ah, it's been long since I tasted fresh human blood.” Letitia licked off the blood that was sprayed on her face. “It's so fresh and delicious.” Perhaps, having been stimulated by the blood, Letitia's desire for blood erupted, and she lurched straight at Sylvia. “Now, Susu.” Sylvia swiftly jumped off the edge of the crater. Her body went downward, instantly disappearing into the boiling red lava. Letitia was shocked by this action and couldn't react for a moment. She was expecting Sylvia to fight back with her, but who would have thought that the latter would be unpredictable and jump inside the volcano? Now that the precious meal she had chased for so long was gone, Letitia immediately became angry. She didn't want to believe that Sylvia was gone like that. She moved closer to the edge of the volcano, and all she could see was red liquid—no sign of life. Well, it would be weird if she could survive jumping inside the volcano. “Is it that scary to be eaten by me?” Letitia's clarity returned, but her eyes remained bloodshot red. Recalling that Tyron and the rest were still at the camp, she immediately turned around, ready to go enjoy her delicacy. But before she could take a step, the whole place began to shake, as if something terrifying was about to emerge.
