The SSS-rank Guide Doesn't Need Saving novel Chapter 99

Chapter 99: Irene Controls Aisha!

THUD!

The sound of Theon falling down the flight of stairs and his groan echoed in her ears.

Aisha looked on as he twisted and held his leg, like she did when she broke her arm. And just like how he walked and turned away from her when she called him for help, Aisha continued her steps upstairs and strode down the hallway.

However, she hadn’t even crossed half of it when she stopped.

Irene stood there. A hand flew to cover her mouth in shock as she had witnessed what Aisha did just now.

When Aisha took a step forward to resume walking, Irene couldn’t stop herself from backing away.

"S-stay away!" Irene exclaimed.

But Aisha did not stop.

Irene continued taking a few steps away from her.

She honestly couldn’t understand why she felt this way towards Aisha. As an S-ranked Guide, there shouldn’t be any need to feel fear towards a mere D-rank. So, why was it that she couldn’t even bring herself to look Aisha in the eye?

Previously, Irene rejoiced when she learned Aisha was not her real sister. She thought she could make her pay for doing that to her neck. Even if Zenick were to defend and cover up Aisha, he should no longer side with an outsider. In the future, he would only support her and her alone.

So, Irene couldn’t wait to see the defeated look on Aisha’s face.

When she heard voices coming from the stairs, Irene hurriedly came out of her bedroom to catch Theon admonishing Aisha and throwing her out of the house. She no longer has any right to return and should never be allowed to set foot in their house!

But the turn of events was completely out of her expectations.

Aisha had pushed Theon down the stairs.

And what shocked Irene was why Theon let it happen? Irene didn’t believe that Theon wouldn’t be able to stop his descent before he could get hurt. A single push from a weak and fragile D-rank shouldn’t have been able to do any harm to him.

Was that why she felt afraid of her?

Irene didn’t think it was the only reason. Not when she couldn’t bring herself to move when Aisha reached her. What she felt as Aisha got closer was akin to a monster closing in on her.

"A—Aisha..."

She tried to lift her eyes to meet Aisha’s, but her body refused to listen to her command.

"Say it, I’m listening."

Aisha patiently stopped in front of Irene.

Irene opened her mouth and heard her teeth chattering.

Feeling humiliated at showing fear in front of Aisha, Irene forced herself to look up and instinctively swallowed upon seeing the emptiness in the beautiful guide’s eyes in front of her. After a long pause, she managed to broach a word.

But before that, a glint appeared in Irene’s eyes as she lifted a hand to touch Aisha.

Pat.

Her hand successfully made contact with Aisha. Curling her lips into a triumphant smile, Irene looked into her eyes and said, "Kneel before me."

The instant those words fell, the surroundings turned cold.

Irene had previously used up all the times she could use her manipulation ability on a person. Back then, she even bled from all her orifices. However, after her neck was broken and she was quickly treated, her mother, who had been worried about her, had given her a pure energy stone.

Getting her hands on that stone, Irene didn’t spare a moment to hesitate and decided to absorb the energy inside the stone. As a result, she was able to slightly recover her ability. Now, she could manipulate two more people!
