Hendrick spoke in a calm voice. “For now, we keep watching. I’ll keep an eye on Cecelia and see if I can get more information from her.”
“Alright.”
Timothy let out a slow breath. He got out of bed and walked onto the balcony where Hendrick stood.
Hendrick glanced at a tree about 3 feet away. “Try your upgraded ability.”
Timothy nodded.
He raised his hand.
A moment later, a sharp ice blade shot out of his palm and flew straight toward the tree.
The tree was thick–about as wide as a grown man’s waist.
The palm–sized ice blade sank deep into the trunk.
Crack!
The trunk split open.
The large tree leaned to one side.
Then it crashed to the ground with a loud boom.
The noise echoed through the area.
Not far away, Brian and his group, who stayed in the small house, rushed outside.
A tree had suddenly fallen.
Anyone would be startled.
Zera grabbed Brian’s arm. “What happened? Was that a zombie?”
Brian frowned and scanned the area.
Then he spotted Timothy and Hendrick on the balcony.
His heart sank.
Just how powerful were they?
That tree didn’t fall on its own. They must have done it.
His expression shifted slightly. He pulled Zera back toward the house. “It’s nothing. I’ll ask Timothy about it later. Go finish your food.”

“Okay.” Zera lowered her eyes, hiding the look on her face.
She had already seen Timothy and Hendrick on the balcony.
And she knew the tree had been cut down by them.
There were no zombies nearby. No one else could do something like that.
So why was Brian hiding the truth?
The answer was obvious. He didn’t want her to know how strong Timothy and Hendrick were.
He afraid she might leave him and follow them instead.
