Chapter 144

All of this situation was quite complex in her opinion, but she was too cold to ask him about it directly.

'Why does he not tell me about it directly?' she thought as a flicker of confusion passed through her indifferent eyes. Her expression softened momentarily, the mask slipping just a little.

If someone listened to her right now, they would definitely feel speechless.

Girl, why would he tell you about his guarded secrets for no reason? Talk with some sense?

Of course, Nadia's mentality worked differently compared to normal people, so she was not at fault either.

"Damn, ignored again!"

Daniel said to himself as he filled up another talisman and passed it to her.

"Another word, and I will cut off your tongue," Nadia threatened in a chilling cold voice, as her hand turned straight. Her eyes were icy, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

Gulp.

Daniel felt the raw killing intent and shut his mouth immediately. He did not dare to bother her and provoke her anymore after this.

He glanced around nervously, the cold sweat on his brow glistening under the light.

She might really cut off his tongue!

Although he could heal it afterward using an elixir, that would be very painful, and he was not loaded with elixirs either. He only had one elixir for emergencies.

Not to mention, he remembered how she tortured Alphonso during the duel.

'Poor guy, he still might have a fear of women.'

He glanced in his direction, and indeed his thoughts were confirmed when he saw him sitting two desks away from Amber, quietly filling up talismans.

A hint of pity flashed in his eyes towards Alphonso.

Alphonso, who was busy coordinating elements, sensed a gaze on him and looked up to see Daniel looking at him with a sympathetic gaze.

"???"

He confusedly looked at the guy, not knowing what the latter wanted from him. His brow furrowed, and he tilted his head slightly, questioning.

Upon seeing no change, he too ignored Daniel and went back to work on the talisman. He was close to finding out the principles to balance out the espera of two different elements.

It was unknown what was in his mind, after all.

'Hmm, they are not doing bad, instead, quite decent. Especially the level and progress they are making while training and coordination. Impressive. As expected from geniuses of the five major clans.'

"Actually," she said as a tired look appeared in her eyes, "I think I will just rest for a while." Her shoulders sagged, and she rubbed her eyes, dark circles visible underneath.

She had evident dark circles under her eyes and her hair was not in the best state either. She looked disheveled and untidy now that she was finally done.

It was quite clear that she did not stop once and kept forcing herself to achieve the desired result.

Oliver nodded and leaned against the desk, staring at the ceiling. The cool surface of the desk pressed against his back, offering a momentary relief.

They had been at it for more than 30 hours by now without any breaks or pauses whatsoever.

Evelyn was extremely hard-working; she did not deter from doing the task until it was completed.

She was not the main protagonist for nothing. Her concentration was amazing.

He glanced around to see the others but found none.

They were probably sleeping by now in rooms arranged by the elder called Sigfor.

They would rest and come and then go back and rest.

Occasionally, Daniel or Alphonso would take him out to get some air, but he still stayed with Evelyn.

He felt a hint of pity at the thought of her working alone without anyone by her side.

The image of her solitary struggle tugged at his heartstrings.

Whether she appreciated his effort or not, it was his choice to stay by her side and give her support.

'Well then, it's about time to implement the final step,' he thought to himself as he looked at the tired girl who was now slumped onto the desk.

After an hour or two, she woke up on her own and looked around with momentary confusion before realization dawned on her mind.

She quickly remembered where she was and what they had been doing. Her eyes widened briefly before settling back into focus.

She turned around and saw Oliver also looking at her.

He smiled slightly and raised his hand holding a talisman.

"Ready now?" he asked with a hint of amusement.

"Hmm. I am. Now we need to think of a combination to impress Elder Sigfor," she nodded and said.

"But before that..." he started.

"Yes?"

"Can you give me your hand for a moment?" he said while looking at her in a serious manner.

"My hand?" She looked confused upon such an unexpected request. Her brows furrowed, her gaze questioning.

"Yes, your hand. I was thinking that since we are going to coordinate anyways, how about we do it after getting a better feel of each other's espera? Doing this would definitely benefit us in the future." He paused before adding, "How about it? I will let you inject your espera into me, and so will I too."

"Of course, if you are uncomfortable about it then you do not need to do it. It's just a suggestion on my end. But I feel it would be better if we do that."

Evelyn opened her mouth but could not say anything. This was indeed logical. She too felt if they wanted a better grasp over each other's espera and form a synergy between themselves, it was necessary.

She stretched forward her hand towards him and smiled, "Sure! Let's try it. I am also curious."
