"So, a bet?" Michelle raised a brow.
"Yes!" Alexander nodded. "A bet on whether you can find out what it means. If you can't, I win, and I decide if the deal with me stands. If you can, you win, and you get to choose whether we go through with it or not."
Michelle quite liked the idea of a bet, but she doubted it would be that easy. Alexander wasn't someone to start a bet he would lose. It would probably be hard for her to find out what it meant if he had put his shadow essence into her neck.
Still... "Sounds nice! I like the bet!" Michelle agreed.
So, just a few minutes later, Michelle was going through the library. She had two sections in mind where she could find information about the spot on her neck.
First was the one about anatomy. Compared to the rest of the library sections, it was quite small.
Well... small.
Three full bookshelves.
The problem was with the second section—about twenty bookshelves full of books about shadow essence, its cultivation, and Shadow Masters.
