Chapter 550 You Mean This?
"I can't believe it will be a matter of time before I achieve my aim. This is great!" He exclaimed, his hands still spread in the air.
Sniper wanted to tell him that going through the list of newly admitted students would take quite a lot of time...
But he swallowed back his words when he saw how excited the old man was.
Back where Tiffany stood, she smiled devilishly after she had gotten the information she wanted.
She dawdle upstairs to her room when she realised that Sniper would come out of the study any moment from then.
"Where did you go?" Sophie demanded the moment Tiffany stepped foot into her mini-sitting room.
"I thought I perceived Logan's scent earlier so I went downstairs to ask him to beg Grandpa on my behalf but it turned out that I was wrong," Tiffany shrugged her shoulders and walked to join them where they sat.
"Tiff made a mistake with a scent?" Doris muttered while exchanging puzzled glances with the others.
"Yeah, that is new," Sophie added, her doubtful glances fixed on Tiffany's face.
"Are you...,"
"Didn't you say you wanted to know of the plans I have come up with to put that Stinky fool in her rightful place?" Tiffany threw the perfect bait she knew would make the girls forget about their earlier curiosity.
"What is it?" Three of them chorused and drew closer to Tiffany.
Some hours later, after frequenting all the places he knew Joanna would likely be at, Amos was finally able to find the woman he longed to see and talk to.
A sweet smile crept onto Amos' face when he sighted her from where she sat on the rooftop of one of the abandoned buildings located on the other side of the University premises.
"So are you trying to tell me that you can control some of the natural elements like wind, snow and fire?" Joanna who thought she was the only one who possessed such strange powers asked, doubts written all over her face.
"I knew you wouldn't believe what I said so watch this," Raymond smiled and slowly stood up on the rooftop rails.
He spread his hands in the air and immediately a rush of wind brushed past them, sending him falling off the rooftop.
Joanna opened her eyes just in time to see him slip off the rails and fall.
"Hey!" Joanna shouted and jumped off the rooftop without thinking.
She was so close to grabbing his hand when she noticed that he was also floating in the air just like her.
"You...," Joanna was too shocked to construct a correct sentence.
"I can't believe you jumped off the rooftop to save me. I never knew you liked me this much," Raymond beamed at the lady who wasn't over the shock she gave him.
"Ray...,"
"I know that wasn't convincing enough so watch this," Raymond smirked and invoked a mightier wind this time around.
"Careful!" Raymond screamed and hugged the lady who was pulled downwards by the rush of wind he manipulated.
"Are you alright?" Raymond asked the lady who was grabbing him tightly for dear life.
As they played around with their powers Amos who had rushed upstairs after Joanna shouted watched them at the same spot they fell off from.
"Sure I am," Joanna said and slowly pulled out of his embrace. The way she refused to let go of his hands showed the scare Raymond's demonstration of power gave her was too much for her to get over with easily.
Anyways, which person in her right mind wouldn't be scared after almost falling off from such a great height?
She would be lucky if she died with her entire bones intact if she fell off from such great height.
"That was super cool. How were you able to do that?" Joanna's eyes sparkled as she waited for Raymond's reply.
At this moment she was no longer faking the excitement. Joanna was happy for real that she had found someone who was exactly like her.
"You think that is cool... just wait until you see this," Raymond grinned. He caught her unawares when he suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her to himself.
"What...," Joanna was about to scold him when she felt a warm sensation around the area of her hands he held.
At first, the warm heat was so soothing but her opinion changed when the heat around her hands intensified.
It got to the point that she felt as though her hands were on fire and she could no longer endure the pain anymore.
"Ouch... that hurts!" Joanna cried out. Instantly, Raymond let go of her hands but only to grab it one more time.
"Sorry... I didn't mean it," Raymond apologised. He bent and blew hot air on her wrist which was now reddened due to the heat of his hand earlier.
Amos who was watching all these things unravelled could do nothing other than clench his fists, grit his teeth and watch another man flirt with his woman in front of him.
[I have been holding back my anger because I knew Joan would hate it if I do anything bad to him... but I can't promise that I won't slit a knife through his throat if he keeps wooing my woman]
Amos shot lasers with his eyes at the man who was still holding Joanna's hands tenderly.
"I was too excited and forgot that you would get hurt in the process...,"
"I know you didn't mean it so there is no need to apologise. Besides I am the one who insisted that you should show me what you are capable of or have you forgotten already?" Joanna beamed at him to show that she wasn't at all mad at him.
"But I still hurt you...,"
"I am fine. It doesn't hurt anymore," Joanna assured him with an even broader smile.
"How did you do that?" Joanna dived into the question which was on her mind.
"Also, apart from that, can you create a fireball?... I remembered you said fire was one of the elements you can control..."
"You mean this?" Raymond asked and in almost an instant flames appeared on both of his palms.
