The news of the tragedy took the world over.
Late at night.
Underground, in the base of the city guards.
Chloe still sat cross-legged on the ground, meditating while the others were still unconscious.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, arms wrapped around her body from behind.
She didn't react.
She already sensed him.
"I was so scared I'd lose you," Alden whispered in her ear, tears rolling down his face, landing on the bare skin of her neck.
Alden acted as if nothing happened, as if he didn't see her true form. At the moment, he truly didn't want to mention it. He was just glad they safely went over that ordeal.
Chloe stopped meditating and leaned back into him.
Since he didn't mention it, she wouldn't either.
"Cough! Cough!"
A cough rang in the room.
Swoosh!
Chloe turned swiftly, gathering her ice power, instantly creating icicles surrounding Neo.
"Ha...haha..." Neo raised his arm in the air, laughing awkwardly. "Sorry to interrupt you,"
