章 187: Smile

The announcement took everyone by surprise. Khan was standing among the crowd of students gathered in front of the Chiefs, but everyone turned to look at him nonetheless. He had become the representative of the human species in those months, at least for the younger generations, so hearing about the Global Army made the Niqols inspect him.

Khan shook his head to express his ignorance about the whole matter. Many knew that he had no contact with the Global Army, but some needed that reminder. Also, the students wanted to see if he had information to share later on at the party, but he had to disappoint them.

Khan glanced at George, who was nearby. The boy was holding hands with Havaa, but his gaze was far from relaxed. Khan could actually read awkwardness in his eyes. His mind wasn't thinking about the political meaning behind that meeting. George felt conflicted at the idea of seeing Natalie again.
