"Is that why you are working with the Dark Millennium, Chieftain Amerika?"
"Uh—"
Chieftain Amerika's face froze as soon as Riley's words passed through her ears. She seemed to want to immediately say something back, but the folds on her face remained still as she could only stare at him in disbelief.
It didn't help at all that Riley was also not saying something else to her after his sudden and blatant accusation.
No. It wasn't even an accusation at all. He was already speaking as if she were actually part of the Dark Millennium. Her eyes slowly strayed away from Riley and landed on Tomoe, and Chieftain Amerika did not even need to see behind the girl's glasses to know that she was probably glaring at her.
Of course, her hands that were already balled into fists were confirmation enough. The old instructor looked at Riley again, staring at his face for a few moments before finally finding the right words to say.
