Chapter 138: what will you choose?

Terron left Aaron's father and exited the study. As he walked out of the house, he saw young Aaron holding a wooden sword and looking at him with wary eyes.

"Hey, Aaron, why are you standing here?" Terron asked.

"I heard you and Dad arguing. Will everything be okay?" Aaron asked.

"It will, but you'll have to be a very good boy. In the future, I may be coming to ask you for a lot of things, and you'll have to do them to ensure your safety. If you don't, people may find out the truth, and that would be bad for you and your father," Terron said and patted Aaron on the head.

Those words impacted Aaron. He was scarred after the loss of his mother. He didn't want anything bad to happen to his father and didn't know how he would live with himself if anything did.

And so from that young age, he taught himself to listen to Terron, doing whatever Terron asked of him just to keep his father safe.
