Chapter 143
Alexander’s smile widened as he observed Michelle. He didn’t even know why, but he really loved seeing her angry face. Maybe it was because when she was angry, she never looked like it.
"What I want...?" he dragged his tone teasingly, his black eyes narrowing slyly. "I don’t think you can give me anything I want, so I guess I can’t help you. I’m sorry!" he said after a while, deciding to anger Michelle even more.
Michelle stared at Alexander, her already red eyes turning an even richer shade of red—nearly blood-red. She was angry, but she still put on a lazy smile as her mask.
"Didn’t you say you want to repay me for saving your life? How about doing so now?" she asked with a cold hint in her lazy voice.
"But weren’t you the one who said that you didn’t actually save my life and that you just pulled the void out of me and used it to strengthen yourself?" Alexander’s amusement grew.
Hearing Alexander’s response, Michelle’s rage only grew. If she had the power, she would have most probably killed him on the spot. But she didn’t have the power. And she also needed his help with correcting the contract she had with Mare and healing Mare’s soul, so even if she had the power or means, she would still have held back. No matter how much she despised seeing that annoyingly handsome face, smiling while angering her to death.
Fighting off her anger, Michelle took a deep breath to calm down, the red in her eyes subsiding a bit. But it was still very clear.
"Since you don’t want to help me, just get lost..." she said with a sigh, as she walked over to Mare, coiled around the boulder, thoughts raging in her mind.
Slowly, her emotions calmed down and her eyes were once again purple.
Alexander didn’t listen to Michelle and didn’t leave. He stayed behind, observing her every move. He was fairly surprised when Michelle suddenly told him to get lost. He thought she would try to bicker with him, to make him help her.
But instead, it seemed like she was thinking of finding a way herself. So he decided to sit back and watch her until the moment she wouldn’t be able to do anything and would ask him to step in.
