"Oh?"
Everyone perked up at once.
A crystal core? Seriously?
They all knew the man-eating vines had killed countless people, absorbing their flesh and blood. Any crystal core formed from that would undoubtedly be high-grade—an incredibly rare treasure.
"You said earlier there wasn't a crystal core! Hurry up and hand it over!" Johnny, who was always impatient, barked loudly.
Ethan glanced at him calmly. "Come here, and I'll show it to you."
"Fine!"
Without a second thought, Johnny strode over.
Little did he know, he was walking straight into death's embrace.
Frankie and the others nearby stared intently, their curiosity piqued. They wanted to see what the crystal core of a man-eating vine looked like. At the same time, they couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
He said outside there wasn't a crystal core, but now there is? Guess I'm not intimidating enough. Captain's the one who really scares him into submission.
