"Logan!" Joanna exclaimed in astonishment. She didn't finish talking when the guy got a glimpse of her face.
His eyes wavered and his hands trembled. Subconsciously, the guy began moving backwards.
While moving backwards, he bumped into his group of friends whose reactions were no different from his.
The was so much fear in their eyes as they looked at Joanna.
"What the hell…," Joanna didn't get to finish her sentence when the four guys turned and took to their heels like they had seen a ghost.
Although this wasn't her first or second time witnessing this, Joanna was still surprised to see them run like they were pursued by the King of Hades.
"Drey," Joanna called as she turned to face the lady standing beside her.
"Do I look pale like a ghost or do I have some invisible heinous mask on my face that others can see while I can't?" Joanna stroked her face as she talked.
"There is nothing like that. You can only blame them for being the weird ones," Audrey said her gaze fixated on the direction the racing guys took.
"In the past, they were always the ones whom the Mean Witches sent to terrorise me. Seeing them terrified of me, I can't seem to get used to it especially when I don't know the cause of their fears…,"
"Last night when Chris mentioned the incident that happened on your 18th birthday and how the King had the guys who did that to you arrested, he didn't go into details about what the King did to them," Audrey said absentmindedly.
She let out the secret she was trying to hide from Joanna without realising it.
She wished she had the powers to take back her words when she realised what she had said.
"You were with Chris last night?" Joanna asked with widened eyes.
"You spent the night with him…,"
"We only talked while drinking so how is that considered spending the night together?" Audrey defended herself sternly.
"You didn't only spend the night with him but you also drank with him?" Joanna covered her mouth with her right hand.
She made sure to exaggerate her shock as much as she could.
"Didn't you always say you hate him so how come you drank and also spend the night with him…,"
"The answer you are trying to find out is not that important. What is important is that we get the truth out of those guys," Audrey tried to evade the question.
Seeing how nervous she looked made Joanna wonder what she and Chris discussed the entire night.
"What…,"
"Or don't tell me you are not curious to know why the usual proud guys always act terrified whenever in front of you?" Audrey interrupted.
[Anna, forgive me that I have to keep my conversation with Chris last night a secret. You are happy now and I don't want anything that will come in between your happiness and your newfound love… Even though Chris told me that the King did so much during your disappearance there is no way to prove whatever he says]
Audrey tried to satisfy her conscience with these few words. She was in a daze and didn't notice that Joanna's gaze was concentrated on her.
"Hey, snap out of it already," Joanna said waving her right hand at Audrey's face.
Audrey composed herself after jolting back to reality.
"Anyways if you are not curious to know what happened to make them behave the way they do, I am curious and I must find out today," Audrey said.
In a flash, she disappeared from where she stood and reappeared five steps from where Joanna stood.
"Try to catch up if you are interested," Audrey shouted and disappeared once again.
"Why is she acting so weird after the discussion of Chris surfaced? Is something going on between both of them?" Joanna muttered her gaze focused on where Audrey ran towards.
She chased Audrey not long after.
After minutes of running the four guys finally halted at a secluded area of the campus.
"Is she after us?" The breathless Logan looked behind.
"I don't think so," Seth gasped as he tried to regulate his breathing.
"And what if I tell you that your guess is wrong?" A lady's stern voice emerged at their back.
In an instance, the four of them turned to look at their back. They almost wet themselves when they saw that it was Joanna.
They started walking backwards and were about to run away again when Joanna appeared in front of them.
They turned to their back and wanted to repeat the same thing but unfortunately for them, Audrey finally got there.
With Joanna standing at the front and Audrey at the back they couldn't run away.
"And where are you going huh?" Audrey questioned. The corner of her lips lifted to reveal a sly smile.
"We are doing as we were told so why are you after us?.... Why won't you spare our lives even after what we went through for over four months for your sake?" Seth cried out with fear in his eyes.
"Who told you to run whenever you see us?" Joanna and Audrey demanded at the same time. They both exchanged puzzled glances seeing that they had similar thoughts.
"And what do you mean by what you went through for four months for my sake?" Joanna asked fiercely.
Realising that the two ladies were not aware of what they were talking about made the guys exchange glances.
Earlier it looked like they had a lot to say but after their discovery, there was hesitation on their faces.
"Forget about leaving this place with every part of your body intact if you don't tell us what we want to know," Audrey said coldly.
She brought her right hand to her waist and took out the dagger she always carried around with them.
Audrey pointed the daggers at them.

HAPPY ENDING OF THE MONTH EVERYONE!!!
I only get to do this once a month so I want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to all of my readers who supported this book this August 2022.
Although my expectations were far from being met and so were the goals far from being accomplished, I still want to let you guys know that I appreciate all the hard work and resources you have put into this book.
Lately, my mind has been in turmoil. For my old readers who followed me from my previous books, I am sure you know that I would have given multiple mass releases each month even though you guys didn't reach the goals. But this didn't happen because of the current situation I am going through.
My mental health has been suffering for over two months now. Just so I won't disappoint you (My lovely readers) who must be waiting for updates daily, I have been trying my best to update daily.
I just want to use this medium to tell you guys that I might be forced to take a break from writing if this continues. But let's all hope it doesn't get to that stage.
As I give my all to make sure you get nothing but the best, please help this poor author out. Let's try our best to do much better next month. I believe that you guys are capable of making your darling author proud so I will look forward to seeing some improvements next month.

SPECIAL SHOUTOUT
A special shout-out to all the readers who bought privileged chapters for August. I would have loved to mention your names also but unfortunately, authors on Webnovel don't know readers who bought privileged chapters except the readers leave a comment on the purchased chapter.
...
Thank you so much to all my readers, both the active and the silent ones.
To all my silent readers, I wish one day you will let go of your quietness and become a source of motivation to me too.
Thank you so much once again, everyone.
P.S: The reason why there was no review category was that as usual all of you had decided not to leave a single review on the work.
Also, last month it was only one person who repeatedly kept commenting which is why DaoistTzoOew is the only reader who dominated that category.
Keep on supporting the book if you want your name to be included on the list
