Chapter 202: Chloe and Ling Xue? (3)
While Chloë was sure he would be safe in his house, as she knew there would be tight security measures in place given who he was, and there would likely be enough food for him to last a month, there was still an unknown fear inside her due to how she had never met him in her previous life when she had seen his sister.
'They looked quite close when I had seen them in the school.'
Both of them were likely in the same house. She didn't know what happened, as she was very confused about him. Firstly, she was not even sure if he had survived the crash in her previous life or not, as there was no mention of him back then.
And if he had survived, then how did he die while being with Alicia Cross, one of the world's strongest awakeners? Or was he alive in her previous timeline too, and she just hadn't met him?
Her head started to hurt thinking about the many possibilities revolving around him, as there were countless more theories about what could have actually happened.
She didn't think she would find out about this by just thinking.
'Argh! What's the point?'
She didn't think there was any point in knowing this, as there was only one thing she had to do—which was to find her friend and make sure he was safe. That was enough for her. That was her way of repaying his kindness for helping her.
'Yes, I am only repaying my debt; there is nothing else.'
A little blush appeared on her face thinking about it, as she knew deep inside this was not normal—to risk her own life just to make sure he was safe, just because he had helped her one time. Even for her, who took friendship very seriously, this was a little too much. Even while she was not 100% sure if she could keep herself safe throughout the journey, she was risking her life when she witnessed the real apocalypse more than anyone else.
She had realized how little people valued trust and friendship. Even knowing this, she still wanted to go there to make sure he was safe.
'I am doing this only because he is my only friend, nothing else.'
Ling Xue had noticed the little blush that appeared on Chloe's face, which made her look even cuter than she already was. She didn't know why little Chloe was feeling shy, and after a few seconds of thought, she assumed she must just be a shy girl, which matched her look quite well.
However, the naive words that she had heard from her mouth made her feel quite annoyed, as this little idiot was telling her to share their hard-earned money with those people who were just mooching off them. It was already her generosity that she had treated them all equally until now, but that was going to change today.
And she didn't feel even a little bit of remorse for doing it. She even felt she was doing a good deed by making them realize the reality they were in. If Chloe had known about this, she would have also agreed with her, as she wouldn't have had any problem with her doing that.
She still tried to keep a passionate expression on her face and not show her annoyance toward Chloe's words, and she said to her calmly:
"Chloe, you don't understand. It would be bad to just share with them the cores we have earned while risking our lives when the only thing they are doing is cowering in fear and depending on us just to survive."
She looked into her eyes and said, a little more seriously, to make her realize how wrong her thoughts were.
"You have to think carefully about what I have said. Do you really think it is the right thing to do?" Continue reading at mvl
Chloe agreed with her words wholeheartedly. She was not going to play with her and liked to see her face when she would reject her. Even while feeling a little uneasy thinking about Aiden, she had decided to leave the next morning and not wait a day, as the uneasiness in her heart didn't go away when she didn't even know how he actually was.
Just because she liked to be more prepared while leaving, she didn't want to risk anything. She would never be able to forgive herself if something happened. But the idea of leaving at night didn't even cross her mind, as she was not stupid enough to dive into her own death.
'In a few days, there would be evolved zombies that could be dangerous, so I had to quickly go out before that, as it would become many times harder for me to go out there.'
The air around Chloe changed as her little body started emitting a natural pressure on everyone else present. Everyone could see the same cute look on her face; however, the change in atmosphere made them feel a little fear of the little girl standing in front of them.
Ling Xue had already felt the air of a predator from the body of the little cute girl. She had already gotten her answer in her heart—that her little act of trying to fool Chloe wouldn't work, and this might even backfire on her. She wouldn't lie; she was also feeling scared now, as she wasn't confident in handling Chloe. And with these weaklings beside her, they could only distract her.
She didn't know if Chloe would attack her because she attempted to trick her. She didn't want that to happen at any cost. While they were a little away from everyone else, they could still see them in the distance. If she got beaten up in front of them, she didn't think she would even hope to become their leader.
She would still try, but with Chloe being here, she didn't think she would be able to do anything.
But today, for Ling Xue, who had thought it would be easy to trick the little pink-haired girl, it was a day of regret. She would develop a fear of this cute little girl.
