Chapter 150
Though Michelle was able to keep her emotions in check, so her eyes remained purple, she was already very close to letting them turn blood-red from anger. One of the many things she hated was being touched, and it didn’t matter by who, so Alexander’s hand on her neck was making her emotions swirl darkly within her.
Also, the position of Alexander’s hand irritated Michelle even more. As a former assassin, she knew that her neck was her weak spot, so her aversion to having it touched was even bigger than compared to other parts of her body.
Knowing that she wouldn’t be able to suppress her rage for much longer if Alexander didn’t pull his hand back, Michelle frowned a bit. "Let’s go to the basement," she said as she jumped off her chair, successfully getting away from Alexander’s claws.
"As you wish!" With a chuckle, Alexander followed Michelle behind the counter and to the staircase leading into the basement.
Once there, Michelle didn’t even have to specifically sense around for humidity as she instantly felt her clothes getting damp. It was much better compared to when she had first entered the basement, but it was still much worse than when she had left to go to the desert-like valley. That just showed how intense the evaporation from the underground lake was.
Normally, Michelle would have once again erected an ice pillar to get rid of the humidity first before going to investigate the lake, but since she couldn’t use her spirit energy at the moment, she cast the thought aside.
Still, she had the itch to use her spirit energy out of habit since she was already accustomed to using it.
So she glanced at Alexander. "Do you have something like spirit energy suppressant?" she asked with a sigh. She really didn’t want his help, but he was the only one she could turn to. In the end, the only one around was him.
"No!" Alexander shook his head with his signature playful smile. "I’ve never needed something like that," he added.
