Chapter 102
When Michelle opened the door of the office and walked out, she was met with the surprised gazes of Ivona, Kieran, Anastasia, Alexander, and David. "Why do you look like that?" Ivona asked as she stared at Michelle’s black hair, eyes, and nails. "That’s the effect of the void you absorbed?"
"It will go away soon..." Michelle waved her hand dismissively. "It was worse before," she added.
Not really wanting to believe Michelle, because she seemed somehow reckless about her own safety, she turned to stare at David and Alexander. "Is that the truth?" she asked.
"Yes..." Alexander nodded, a nonchalant expression on his face. "Most probably."
"Most probably?" Ivona arched a brow, not liking the answer.
Rubbing her temples a bit, Michelle sighed. "Ivona, it’s fine, really," she said seriously. "Now, let’s go to the black market... David?" she turned to look at David, her gaze clearly asking him to lead them there.
When her words fell, Alexander raised an eyebrow. "Why would you go to the black market?" he asked with a frown.
Alexander’s question made David remember Michelle’s words before he called Alexander to come to the auction house, which made him cringe. "She said that the payment she wanted for getting rid of the void was information about the Ostrich family, their relations in the upper realm, and the business they have with the black market."
"That’s all you wanted?" Alexander turned to look at Michelle. "Now I don’t know if you think two lives are worth so little, or if you think it’s hard for this bastard..." he motioned with his chin at David as he spoke. "...to find out all that and give the information to you."
