yes Lucian's sword, holding it with one hand; he dragged it to the cave and started
pulling out pieces of wood with his bare hands. Everyone was watching feeling
dazed, after putting enough pieces of wood; he put his hand down and a red fire
erupted instantly burning the wood. Good job!
Lucy bit her lips, her hands previously had blisters trying to lit a fire rubbing
sticks. Yet this guy can casually start a fire with his hands, Lucy's eyes flashed
cold and she really wanted to slap him to death. Chester smiled awkwardly and
pretended that his hand was hurting, "What happened?" Lucy asked, her eyes
still cold though. "Fire burnt me." Chester said looking melancholy, "Huh! Fire
burnt you?" She asked again raising her eyebrows, was this guy mocking us or
what. Chester looked at them and a small smile crept his face, a very sinister
smile "Well you see, the fire that comes from my body cannot harm me, but the
fire that is outside my body can even kill me." He said while looking at them, his
big eyes rolling over from one person to another.
Lucy was in deep thoughts, she even nodded implying that she understood that
he could be hurt if he used his fire casually. Chester saw that Lucy had fallen for
it; his sinister smile became even more wild. As long as Lucy believes it, then all
is cool as he didn't care about Luka or Natalie. He cleared his throat and added,
"That's why I was able to beat Kai, that's why I can't swim in a volcano and
that's why this wood burning fire can be able to kill me." He said while trying
really hard to conceal his sinister smile.
Lucian almost lost it; he was the only one who saw through Chester's lies and
he clearly knew that he was fooling lucy right now. He looked at Chester with a
look as if saying really! Is that so easy to fool people around? I mean you said that
is why you could beat up Kai right! You fought with him without using your fire,
the trees turned brown and dried up because of you and kai's fight, your clothes
melted but you remained intact! Then you come here and tell me that wood fire
would hurt you! Am not stupid, I among them all I am different. Lucian snorted
coldly, Chester knew that Lucian wasn't fooled; so, he smiled revealing a row of
white teeth.
Just then, Chester's eyes narrowed and grabbed the spear with a very serious
and cold expression. Everyone reached out and drew their swords, Chester then
threw the spear into the dark and smiled. "What happened?" Lucy asked,
"Nothing really, am just fishing." Chester replied. Lucy was jaw dropped, the
tension eased up and their pale faces regained. "We know you wanted to get rid
of the spear, but you could have done it without causing a panic." Lucy said
looking somewhat unpleased.

Chester spread his hands and said, "I am actually fishing." Lucy didn't want to
argue so she just stood there looking at him, Chester then raised his hand in the
direction he threw the spear. Everyone looked at him and they were puzzled
about his behavior; just then, the spear landed in Chester's hands with a huge
force of air dissipating in the cave. Lucy's hair was blown away and she merely
maintained balance. "You!" She shouted, she wanted to say something but she
was surprised, the spear was in Chester's hand and it had four large golden
glowing fish.
"Imperial fish." Luka was shocked and so was Lucian; as for Natalie, who cares
about her? Lucy came and touched the fish slightly and there was a movement
indicating that the fish was freshly caught and it was still suffocating to death!
Poor fish always being killed by being strangled. This imperial fish is rare to find
because it can't survive in polluted water and it survives solely on plants. Chester
swung the spear in Bo Kungfu style and the fish was flying in the air, the sound
of flesh cutting and scales being scrapped out filled the cave. This happened so
fast that they only saw scales and intestines on the ground, the fish was still
struck by the spear.
Chester then engulfed his hand with a very hot fire from his body, he thought
for a moment and gave up the idea. "Lucy, can you barbecue this for us?" he
asked, Lucy who was still shocked nodded, I mean how did the spear come back
to Chester? Where did he find the fish? How did he see the fish from the cave?
These questions were buzzling inside her head and she wasn't the only one.
The cave was filled with a sweet aroma of the imperial fish, from this scent
alone, one can agree that this imperial fish lives up to its name. Lucy gave Chester
one, gave Lucian one and kept one for herself. She came and stood in front of
Luka, "This is the last one, you two must share." She said with a sinister smile,
gave him and returned to sit near Chester and Lucian. Natalie looked conflicted,
"Chester what is the meaning of this?" She asked him, "What do you mean?"
Chester asked back.
Natalie looked at Chester with a sneer and said, "You brought this fish for me,
I get to decide who to give. So, right now! Bring the fish here, give Luka one, I
will get one and half from you and the remaining give Lucy and Lucian to share."
The cave suddenly became quiet, "You, lucy and Luka will each eat half of the
fish, Luka will eat a full one and I will eat a full and half, is that clear?" Natalie
roared. Lucian couldn't help but laugh out loud, Chester was dazed for a moment
and just ignored her. Lucy rolled up her sleeves and said, "Natalie, if you have
the guts then come and take this fish yourself."
