Hearing the commotion, Ali slipped out of the kitchen to see what was going on. Thanks to her petite frame, she remained unnoticed. Seeing the atmosphere turn serious, she knew this meant trouble.
"Laxus," she whispered, tiptoeing away to find him.
After all, these were members of the Golden Dragon Clan; it was more appropriate for him, the Young Clan Leader, to manage them. The Young Clan Leader's position was second only to the Clan Leader, and she could tell that Clan Leader Leon intended to delegate power to Laxus. Laxus handled most of the clan's affairs, and the Golden Dragon Clan members listened to him.
"Ali, what's wrong?" Laxus was stirring the ginger soup. He turned his head to look at the small hand grasping his arm.
He had never had such close contact with a little female other than his sister and mother. For a moment, the skin where Ali touched him felt scalding hot.
"Ali!" Klein also saw this scene, his already cold voice laced with a hint of chill.
