Chapter 152 The Foreseen Dilemma

Under Elsa's surprised gaze, I remained indifferent. "What? Don't you want me to be saved?"

She instinctively shook her head and then suddenly realized no one else was around. Without another word, she turned away, refusing to look at me.

I closed my eyes, conserving my little energy for when it was time to run.
