Doomsday Revenge: Payback Time (Josie) novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176

Lirio,” Josie said, using her willpower to speak directly to the plant’s mind. “If you don’t want to be seen, then hide yourself.”

The second the words left her mouth, the little Lirio shifted. It shrank, transforming into a delicate flower that tucked itself perfectly into Josie’s ponytail.

Honestly? It looked damn good.

Even Zane couldn’t help but stare.

That little thing… it really makes you immune to all Mutant Flora?” Zane asked. He still couldn’t wrap his head around it. “Is it actually that powerful?”

That’s what it told me, anyway,” Josie said, shrugging. “True or not, I’m keeping it. It’s a fun pet, and the flower is cute.”

Josie reached up and teased the Lirio on her head.

The Lirio’s petals suddenly curled around her finger, hugging it tight. It was cute, sure, but also a little creepy.

Zane looked her dead in the eye. “Josie, do you have other powers?”

Maybe, maybe not,” Josie answered vaguely. “When the time comes, you’ll find out.”

Josie finished her piece and didn’t bother explaining any further. She just turned and walked away.

Zane stood there, hands on his hips, watching her back. He paused for a beat, then kicked into gear, catching up to her with long,

fast strides.

By the time they got back, all eyes were on them.

What were you two doing out so late?” someone teased. “Trying to get some privacy? You don’t need to call down lightning just to zo on a date, do you?

‘Cut the crap,” Zane snapped. He stole a quick glance at Josie, but her face was a mask of indifference. She didn’t blush, and she didn’t look away. It was like they weren’t even talking about her.

The light in Zane’s eyes dimmed.

He could tell.

losie didn’t have a single romantic thought about him. To her, they were just brothers–in–arms. Purely professional.

But Zane was a red–blooded man. It was only natural to catch feelings for a woman who was as gorgeous as she was powerful—especially when they spent every waking moment together.

That’s why everyone else called her Ms. Quinn, but he insisted on calling her Josie.

He wasn’t exactly subtle. His intentions were written all over his face.

Did Josie know?

She knew. She just chose to play dumb.

Besides, she wasn’t looking for a relationship in this lifetime.

A man would only slow her down.

Zane saw Josie wasn’t biting, so he tried to cover for her. “Josie just-”

‘I just awakened a Plant–type power,” Josie interrupted. She wasn’t the type to play it safe or hide her hand. She was loud, bold, and completely unapologetic.

Caution? That word wasn’t in her vocabulary.

She flicked her wrist, and a barrage of wooden spikes shot out. Thud, thud, thud. They slammed into the wall, turning it into a pincushion. There it was–proof of her new Plant–type ability.

The room went dead silent. Everyone was floored.

Holy shit.

Josie was already a god–tier dual–power user. Now, she’d awakened a third?

A Triple–element Super!
