Ultimatum (IV)
In the stillness of the night, Klaus and Sylvia sat in the sheltered pavilion. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Sylvia felt trapped in her thoughts. The recent events were still fresh in their minds.
When the silence became too long, Sylvia decided to break it. She asked gently, "Klaus, what's on your mind now?"
Klaus looked at Sylvia, his eyes reflecting doubt. However, he decided to speak openly, albeit cautiously. "Just a little problem."
Hearing the question, Sylvia raised one of her eyebrows. "Little problem?"
Then, Klaus explained what was on his mind, about his purpose in coming here to obtain the Elder Elf blood and the Superhuman Project, including the current situation of the elven village. He really told her everything and left no detail out.
Sylvia listened attentively, and it didn't take long for her to wrap her head around it.
"But that means we have to destroy the Tree of Life?"
