Chapter 560 Stupid!
Instead, she gazed at an entrance located at the extreme corner of the room where she sensed people's presence.
When she saw none come out of the room whose door was left ajar, she decided to take the initiative to call them out of their hiding place.
"Who..." She saw three ladies step out of the room onto the large hall before having the opportunity to call them out.
"Hey, don't tell me you ladies are the ones who are responsible for the reason I am here?" Joanna asked, her cold stares glued on their faces.
"Why?... have you suddenly gone blind overnight?" Eva taunted as the three of them strolled to where Joanna stood.
"Also, are you scared after seeing who brought you here?" Eunice chirped with pride.
Although the battle hadn't started yet, the smug look on their faces made Joanna realize that they had already considered themselves winners.
"Did you just say scared?" Joanna crackled as if Eunice just finished telling a joke.
"Does it look like I am scared of any of you?" Joanna quizzed, her hands spread in the air.
"You can act tough as much as you want..."
"I am not pretending to be tough... It's already a fact that I am tough and stronger than all of you combined. You of all people should know this after what I did..."
"Shut up that tramp you called a mouth if you don't want me to pounce on you earlier than I had planned?" Laura cut in rudely. She was scared that Joanna would reveal how she defeated her entire family.
"To be honest I would have also loved to play with you ladies but unfortunately my time is fully booked," Joanna muttered as she shrugged her shoulders.
"You can either quickly say your reason for bringing me here or you postpone this meeting to after the completion of the carnival..."
"See girls, she is still worried about performing at the carnival when she should be scared if she would leave here alive? Don't you think she is very stupid?" Eva mocked, her finger pointed at the lady who was about to turn around.
"Stupid!" Joanna spat out. "This is not about pride but confidence, got that?" She corrected her. She immediately spun and approached the entrance.
The three guys signalled by the ladies to grab her were just an arm's reach away when she spun and pointed her finger at them.
"Touch me and I swear to burn each one of you alive right here and now," Joanna retorted, her hands still gesturing at the three guys who were currently marking her movement.
"That will only be possible if you are ready to get roasted alive along with all of us," Laura chirped in, a victorious smile plastered on her pretty face as she and her friends approached where Joanna stood.
"And what do you mean by that?" Joanna scowled, her deadly glares glued on her stepsister's face.
"Although I wasn't present at the scene that day, I learned and even watched how you brutally dealt with Tiffany and her gang..." Laura let her words linger. She turned and signalled Eva to finish the sentence for her.
"And as smart ladies that we are, we took precautions by opening a gas valve some minutes before you got here," Eva grinned wickedly when she saw Joanna's frown deepen.
"The gas has circulated through the entire room. The moment you dared as much as try to summon your devilish flames...." Eunice, who seems to be having a lot of fun paused to add a bit of excitement to their little play.
"Boom!" She screamed, her hand exaggeratedly spread in the air.
"Within the twinkle of an eye this house will be caught in flames with all of us in it," Eunice completed, her lips curled upwards to reveal a?devilish smirk.
"Like you said it is not my intention to get burned alive not to mention dying with you, ladies..."
"Get yourself ready bitch because I am gonna make you pay dearly for all the pain you cause me. If you are lucky to come out of this alive, I promise you that you will be crawling out of here on your hands," Laura threatened.
"Seize her," She ordered fiercely.
"This is why I said you girls are stupid," Joanna snarled. Her unfazed expression made the girls wonder what other tricks she had up her sleeve.
"Because you were able to stop me from using my fireballs does not change the fact that I will walk out of here with my head held high..."
"I said seize her... I bet she is trying to find her way out of here after realizing that she is trapped," Laura urged the men to do their job.
"I had wanted him to be the first one to see me transform but I guess that won't be possible since I plan to crush their self-esteem right here. I am sure they wouldn't dare to provoke me ever again after today," Joanna mumbled.
She stared at the three ladies and then moved her deadly stares to the men who were already zoning in on her.
As her eyes moved from one figure to the other, her eyes were focused on their legs.
She timed the movements of their legs as they moved even closer. An evil smirk appeared on the corner of her lips after she got them where she wanted.
"And now?" She remarked. And before anyone could fathom what she was up to, she seized one of the guys by the hand and spun him around so that her hand was holding his groin firmly.
"Make just one wrong move and?I won't hesitate to snap his neck?" Joanna threatened. She started moving backwards while she kept her eyes fixed on the rest of the guys who had turned their attention to the ladies for what to do next.
"This is nothing but her only move to keep you guys away. Like that little brat always says, her big sister can't hurt a fly so how can she possibly kill a full-grown man?" Laura taunted.
"That is where you got it all wrong Laura. I am not that benevolent," Joanna retorted.
She kicked the guy's right knee from behind, causing him to kneel immediately.
