Chapter 246: A lump of Coal

"Hello, fancy meeting you," Klautz adorned a fake smile on his face.

Benton's brows twitched as she seemed too weary of Klautz. How unlikely was it for someone to reach so close to him?

Benton was on his guard due to Shizu's threat at least. But even then he wasn't able to gauge Klautz's incoming steps from his blind spot.

And how could he? Both Klautz and he were 'more or less' equal in strength. As long as it is not someone stronger than Klautz with greater senses, they can never gauge his silent steps. But Benton was completely unaware of the fact. Therefore he could reach only one conclusion.

"You… Are you one of 'them'?" Benton asked with a pinched expression.

His face turned grim as he glared at Klautz always being on his guard.

But Klautz raised his brows. He wasn't sure what Benton meant by 'them', but he had his own hunch that he was referring to the ninjas.

'So little Benton does know of the ninjas from a young age, I see?'
