A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 397

"Fine. If you can still walk, then get up and let's go. If not, speak up now so we can pull you from the show. I'm not carrying you again," Daniel said.

Though Thomas had exploded in anger, Daniel wasn't feeling much better. The Pitt family's situation was already on the brink. They needed to make peace with Demi as soon as possible to minimize the damage.

But Ana didn't care about the big picture. All she wanted was to keep playing her little games.

Ana wiped her tears, stood up, and walked ahead without saying a word.

Daniel followed behind her.

From the moment they resumed walking, the sky above had begun to shift. Dark, gray clouds churned and rolled in fast.

Thunder cracked in the sky. Lightning zigzagged across the horizon. And then came the rain—heavy, cold, and relentless.

"See, Daniel? It's because it was going to rain, not because I swore. I was just unlucky and timed it wrong..." Ana pleaded.

The livestream had also resumed.

"Oh, come on. It's all because of her! Every time she swears, it thunders."

"She probably brought the rain with her."

"Come on. Ana doesn't have that kind of power. She's just unlucky that every time she makes a vow, she happens to get caught in a thunderstorm."

"Whatever. As long as you Ana fans believe that."

"Our problem with Ana isn't just about the thunder and lightning every time she swears. Anyone with eyes can see how selfish and self-centered she really is!"

"I believe you," Daniel said softly.

What else could he say? He was even starting to wonder if this was just a coincidence.

After all these years, Ana had never struck him as someone so petty, cruel, or toxic.

…

Not far up ahead, the group was talking about Ana and her vows.

"That vow of hers really packs a punch. It brought a whole storm with it," Maria said sarcastically.

"We should find a flat area to set up camp," Wendy added.

Everyone began searching the terrain for a good spot to pitch their tents.

George wasn't happy. "Great. We were supposed to stay at the tiger's den tonight. But one vow from Ana, and now that plan's soaked."

"Tone it down," Herne nudged him.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'm just speaking facts," George replied indifferently.

The audience chuckled.
