After she found out exactly how many they were and their positions, she stood up and continued with her walk.
To deal with her pursuers without anyone coming to their rescue Joanna deliberately chooses a secluded route.
Just like she expected, the six men circled her the moment she entered the dark street.
"You have been tailing me for over fifteen minutes, will you be kind enough to tell me what treasure of mine you are after?... As far as I can recall I don't possess that which you want," Joanna said cool-headedly.
She spun around as she talked and her eyes moved from one masked face to the other as she did this.
[When they said karma is a bitch I always thought those people said this to give false hope to the weak but I must admit that karma is really a bitch... Tonight I have the opportunity to deal with the same men who have tortured me a few times in the past. Now tell me, isn't karma a bad bitch?]
Joanna grinned evilly. She took her stance after she sensed that battle would start soon.
"What treasure can someone like you ever possess?" The one giving the shots leered at her.
"That was quite the insult...,"
"What we want is nothing but your wretched life. Don't blame us for being unkind later on. If you should blame anyone it should be your creator for bringing you into this world...,"
"Aren't underdogs with you always quick with carrying out your job so why are you such a talkative?" Joanna taunted, a smug smile plastered on her face.
She cocked her head sideways, her shoulders raised high, "I almost mistook you for an amateur if not that I recognised your voice...,"
"How dare you utter such nonsense...,"
"There is a clause you said earlier that I quite like but I will make corrections to it since I believed you said that out of ignorance," Joanna smiled.
She held the black cap and adjusted it a bit to the side.
"Tonight I definitely won't be the one crying or blaming my creator for my existence but...," Joanna trailed.
She raised her hand and pointed her index finger at the leader of the men, "It will be each one of you blaming your creator for going after a girl like me," she said and moved her finger from the leader to the rest of the men.
"I bet she is spewing nonsense to stall for time to run away. Seize her," The leader commanded.
And instantly, the five men charged towards her.
The five men closed in on her and when they thought they had succeeded Joanna stumped her feet against the floor and suddenly there was a great trembling of the ground they stood on.
She smirked evilly when she saw how they tried hard to stabilize themselves on the floor.
"I would have loved that this battle started and finished without knowing your identity just like you want but I suddenly thought it's no fun...," Joanna let her words linger.
Slowly she raised her towards the two men standing in front of her.
"How will I know which one of you should get the greater share of beatings if I don't see your faces?" She grinned and swiftly dropped her hands.
Instantly the mask fell off the faces of the men who were struggling to keep themselves from falling to the ground.
"Same with you too," She smiled and repeated the same thing with the men standing at her right-hand side.
She took off the mask from five of the men and only left that of their leader intact.
"Let me give you a bit of face since you are their leader....,"
"What are you still waiting for?" He shouted and kicked the butt of the guy standing in front of him.
"Get her!" He ordered fiercely.
"Actually, I would have loved to take my time torturing each one of you but good news for all of you, I have many scary enemies to catch and I don't have even a second of my precious time to waste on idiots like you," Joanna muttered.
She snapped her finger and in an instance, the violent trembling ceased.
"Enough playing around and let's get down to real business," She said and adjusted the way she stood.
Joanna pointed at them and beckoned them to come at her at the same time.
Immediately their eyes and claws transformed. And it was obvious her mockery words contributed a lot to this.
The two men in front of her swung their claws at her face and Joanna skilfully ducked with her right leg lifted in the air to avoid the attack of the two men at her side who were aiming at her legs.
They attacked her fiercely but the manner Joanna defended herself with ease was as if this was a game and not a battle.
Joanna used the first half of the fight to show the six men that she wasn't an easy target and how intense the fight graduated into showed that the men understood this properly.
Even at this, not one of the werewolves was able to leave a scratch on her body.
"Aren't you guys bored fighting clumsily?" Joanna standing about five steps away from where the men gathered themselves asked.
"I mean it felt like I was fighting with kids... Are you capable of so little? Are you guys sure you are the same brutal gang who made life a living hell for me? Or don't tell me....," Joanna smiled and paused to arouse their attention.
It was only when she had gotten their full attention that her plan would be able to work perfectly.
"Your so-called power only manifests when there is a weak little girl around... If that is the case then I am so disappointed in all of you. I can't believe I was scared of all of you in the past for nothing," Joanna's provocative words dealt a huge blow to the prideful leader of the group.
ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "If your powers amount to so little then I bet my 9 years old brother can defeat your leader without breaking a sweat...,"
"Shut that darn mouth of yours, bitch!" The leader shouted and advanced towards her.
