"Be confident, there is nothing to worry about. He won't beat you too hard after knowing you got the Enlightenment Stone," Cedar cheered himself as he walked into Sylvan's cave.

Woosh!
Before Cedar could announce his return, some vines came out from the cave walls and hung him upside down.
"What the—?" Cedar was taken aback when he was suddenly hung upside down.
"Grandpa, what are you doi—" He wanted to know what was happening, but before he could finish speaking...
Swish!
A vine came towards him like a whip and struck his butt.
"Arghh... it hurts..."
Whip!
"You damn brat, you dared to act cocky in the Star City. Who gave you the guts to steal the Enlightenment Stone in the presence of so many high-level core evolvers?" Sylvan appeared beside Cedar, who was hanging upside down and whipped his a*s once again.
