Challenging Matthew (2)

As Alden prepared to leave, the door opened.

Chloe stood at the door.

"Is it time?" She asked as she entered the room with the wooden token in hand.

Alden nodded.

Neo and Owen looked at him with worry.

"Alden, how about we secretly follow you?" Neo asked concerned.

But Alden shook his head. "Matthew is far stronger than us. You can't hide from him. If he detects you, he may not feel at ease. So, please stay here and wait for me. He can't kill me in the city anyway. Since he would be just triggering the rage of the Supreme Commander."

Even though they knew this, they still felt worried.

"But Alden, what if he comes with Elttil, and they have a way to kill you in the city?" Neo insisted on going.

"Knowing Matthew, he won't come with Elttil. But if they do come, then everything will depend on Arach. I have to take this risk."
