Bedding My Vampire Mate-Chapter 481 The Formless Being
As Joanna continued to hug Amos tightly, she didn't sense the presence of a third party around.
The stranger walked past her and moved to Amos' side instead.
"Goodbye, Your Majesty," the voice whispered to their hearing.
"Watch out!" A voice shouted from behind.
Immediately, Joanna and Amos raised their heads at the same time.
Although they were surprised to see the faceless figure, without further ado Amos kicked it in the stomach.
And the agile Joanna attacked it with her green flames.
They took their stance ready for a battle but to their dismay, the clothes caught in flames and yet a body was missing.
"What the hell was that?" Joanna muttered. She tried to walk closer to the clothes which were still in flames but Amos reached out his hand and held her.
"Let me do it instead," He offered. He let go of her hand and strolled to where the clothes were burning.
He carefully examined the fire with his eyes.
Normally they would have been ashes on the floor if it were a vampire that Joanna set on fire.
And they would have been a body if it was a human or werewolf. The screams of the anguish of a human or werewolf after being set ablaze would have been the first thing they noticed but none of this thing happened.
"Did you find anything?" Audrey asked with her neck stretched a bit to get a close view of the burning scene.
"Nothing," Amos shook his head in negation. He took a last glance at the flames before he turned and walked back to where the others stood.
"How could you say there was nothing? Are you sure you checked carefully...,"
"And why would he lie about such a thing huh?" Kyle retorted, his fierce glares shot at Raymond.
"Also, you can as well go and check for yourself if you believe you can do a better job...,"
"Three different people almost got hurt and even killed within the space of ten minutes, this is no joke anymore so will you all stop with the bickering hmm?" Joanna's stern expression was enough to make them momentarily shut up.
Stubborn as he was Kyle would have kept on fighting even after she talked but not when Amos was around at the moment.
He dared not misbehave when he was around.
"Miss Butterfly is right," Raymond agreed in a soft tone. He didn't look like the same guy who accused Amos of doing a snoopy job.
"Instead of wasting our precious time and energy fighting and laying blame on each other, we should use that time to figure out who those people are and what exactly they were after," Raymond suggested.
He didn't have trouble returning to the cool-headed guy that he was.
"Before we do that, how about we try to be honest with why we were here, hmm?" Derrick said.
His doubtful eyes moved from one face of the people he had found suspicious from the moment he set his eyes on them to the other.
"We should disclose why we are here?" Audrey asked as if Derrick's words were not clear enough.
She stole a glance at Kyle's face and from what she noticed his reaction was not very different from hers.
"Yeah... so how about we start from you hmm," Derrick deliberately chose Audrey since she was the one who looked the most suspicious.
[Derrick and Raymond are smart dudes. It will not take them a long time to connect the knots and figure out Amos' real identity if I tell them the truth. I need to come up with what to say to save the situation]
Joanna shifted her gaze from Audrey's to Amos' face. To her surprise, he didn't look tense at all. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺
In fact, he looked too relaxed for his good.
"I....,"
"The atmosphere at home felt stuffy so I decided to get some fresh air and here I am," Joanna was afraid Audrey would make a mistake so she spoke first.
"You came here for fresh air?" Derrick asked. He turned and looked at their surroundings.
From what he noticed Diamond street was a secluded place with dim streets. And this is why crimes were normally carried out here.
There was nothing good to see here so why would anyone choose such a dangerous place to go for a walk?
Derrick brought back his attention to her face. "Isn't this place too far from your home to go for a walk?" He added.
"That's...,"
"Rick, stop that. They are not criminals so that is enough?" Raymond scolded him sternly.
"Do you also believe that it's a coincidence all of us met here on the same day and at the same time?" Derrick questioned.
He shot Amos deadly glares. "You must also think that there is something fishy about their movements so why are you letting them off the hook...,"
"And what's so fishy about the fact that I was secretly following Joanna?" Audrey snapped. No matter how cool-headed she wanted to remain she just couldn't tolerate the way Derrick treated them.
"Why would you follow her? What is your motive...,"
"Is it a crime to follow my best friend now aah?" Audrey sneered, her stern glares not moving from Derrick's angry face.
"You are Audrey?" Raymond asked out of the blue.
"Yes...," She replied rudely.
"I am Raymond and I have heard a lot about you from Miss Butterfly. I don't know whether she has told you anything about me," Raymond reached out his hand for a handshake to the astonishment of others.
"Raymond?" She quizzed and tilted her head to look at the lady beside her.
It was when she was waiting for Joanna's signal that it dawned on her where she heard the name.
"So you are the infamous Mr Hot, Raymond that Anna told me about?" Audrey smiled sweetly at Raymond.
She shook his hand without any hesitation.
"Some moments ago she was holding herself back from punching his eyes so how come she is suddenly smiling at him?" Kyle mumbled, his fist tightly clasped.
