Luo Xiong's old face reddened at the two innocent children's words.
After all, in front of Chu Han and Luo Yue, his title as leader of the Star Alliance counted for little.
Luo Xiong laughed heartily and bent to lift the two children gently into his arms. "What leader of the Star Alliance? That's just an empty title. To you, I'm only an ordinary old grandpa."
