Chapter 73
"You injured me with your attack, Nadia."
Nadia jolted at Dax's voice. She opened her mouth to apologize, but Dax continued before she could speak.
"You are growing at an incredible pace." He glanced toward the distant hallway where Level 1.5 had been flung. "You would have injured 1.5 badly if I hadn't intervened."
Nadia lowered her head, cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Dax's tone stayed calm but firm. "Nadia, I advise you learn how to hide that aura of yours—or find an artifact that blocks your physique completely."
Madeka leaned toward Nadia, her voice dropping to a silky, dangerous whisper.
"If anything happens to my man because of you…" She drew her index finger slowly across her own throat in a beheading motion. "…I'll."
She pulled back with a sweet smile, as if she'd just complimented Nadia's hair.
Dax reached over and casually pinched Madeka's ass. She jumped in surprise, then saw his questioning look and smiled, leaning into him again.
