Chapter 251. The Ladle’s Ability
As Qiao Fu and his men retreated, Tyler calmly retrieved the ladle from his waist. With a wave of his hand, the seemingly ordinary utensil grew larger. He placed a folded letter inside its bowl and swiped it forward with a casual motion towards the retreating figure.
Qiao Fu’s wife suddenly felt something in her hand. Startled, she glanced down and saw the letter, which had appeared as if out of nowhere. Her heart raced as she quickly tucked it into her dress, near her breast, her movements careful not to draw attention. She sighed in relief upon confirming her husband hadn’t noticed. Before following the group, she stole a glance back at Tyler, who stood watching with a faint smirk.
"What was that?" Mana asked, her curiosity piqued.
"One of my weapon’s specialties," Tyler replied, his tone smug as he shrank the ladle and hooked it onto his waist beside his copper pot.
"Does it work on living things?" she asked, her interest growing.
Tyler scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Maybe... I’ve never tried it." His eyes darted toward Reva, the shortest member of their group, who was busy inspecting her shield.
Without warning, Tyler expanded the ladle again and swiped it in Reva’s direction.
The elven warrior stiffened in panic, quickly raising her oversized shield. "What are you doing?!" she cried, bracing herself.
Nothing happened.
When Reva cautiously opened her eyes, Tyler and Mana were standing a short distance away, deeply engrossed in conversation. Confused, she lowered her shield and looked around. She sighed and turned away.
"I aimed for this bug and caught it," Tyler explained, holding up the utensil.
