Chapter 209 - Dark sect (part 10)

"Sect leader."

Rhodes appeared out of the passage right in time to take the attention away from the smirking black-haired man.

Or rather, the person that showed up right behind him has immediately become Chloe's center of attention.

"Aaron!"

The young girl gasped seeing the boy her age following his father. She took a step forward, looking as if she was about to run up to him, but then stopped herself from taking another one and her expression became tense.

"H-hey, Chloe. I've heard you became the sect leader. Congratulations."

Aaron waved his hand at her rather awkwardly, not sure how he should act in the situation he found himself in.

"..."

"Ah...! No! Wait, stop! I take that back!"

Whatever the case, Chloe froze and her chin trembled which Aaron picked up immediately and called out in panic, moving past his father and even walking by Zoemi and Alan who were watching him with interest.
