Madison shot Roy a hateful glare, noticing the smug grin plastered across his face.
"Hmph! You think you're so clever, huh?"
"Eh, not bad," Roy replied casually.
Madison really wanted to drop an f-bomb, but seeing Roy's face, which she found utterly captivating, she was too embarrassed to show her unladylike side.
"And you and Zoe also..." Madison trailed off.
Roy just shrugged. "What can I say? Your ride broke down halfway, so I just had to switch to another one to keep going, you know?"
Madison inwardly cursed Zoe, that bitch. Acting all innocent, but she fell for it the second Roy made a move.
And she called herself Black Widow...
"Wait a minute, after you and Zoe did it, nothing happened to you?" Madison asked, a hint of disbelief in her voice.
"Well, it's not like nothing happened," Roy chuckled. "I had a bit of a nosebleed afterward, but no biggie."
Zoe's Black Widow talent was pretty hardcore, actually making Roy bleed. Keep in mind, some other chick couldn't even scratch him with a sniper rifle. Granted, it was just a small-caliber police sniper rifle, but still.
Someone actually being able to withstand the Black Widow? Madison started to wonder if Zoe was pulling her leg.
She turned her head and saw Zoe's body twitch. Madison immediately knew that little bitch was actually awake; she was just playing possum.
"Get up, you're faking it!"
Madison slapped Zoe's cute little butt.
"Ow—!"
Zoe jumped up in pain. She was also pretty banged up. Even though Roy was a little gentler when "driving the Black Widow car," she was practically a first-timer. The damage she sustained was only slightly less than Madison, who had stood up and kicked.
"Zoe, didn't you say your talent was Black Widow? Why is Roy okay? Were you lying to me?!" Madison demanded, her focus a little off.
Wasn't her focus a little weird? Roy was just standing there, totally speechless.
Being accused of lying by Madison, Zoe got a little flustered.
"I didn't lie to you! That's how my ex-boyfriend died! I don't know why Roy is okay, maybe he's a gift from God to me or something."
Watching Zoe put on a pitiful act, labeling Roy as a gift from God to her in just a few words, Madison immediately realized that this seemingly pure and innocent girl was no shrinking violet either.
A hidden bitch!
In Madison's world, women were divided into big bitches, little bitches, shameless bitches, hidden bitches...
"Hmph! Are you trying to hog Roy all to yourself? Roy is mine!" Madison declared possessively.

Were they really starting to fight already?
Roy gave Madison and Zoe a strange look. Both girls weren't even fully dressed yet, and they were already thinking about ripping each other's hair out.
"Alright, alright, ladies," Roy interjected, trying to keep the peace. "Why don't you wait until you're a little less banged up before you start arguing? Besides, I don't belong to anyone. I belong to all the beautiful women in the world!"
"Pfft, you shameless jerk!" Madison and Zoe said in unison, though they did actually stop trying to claw each other's eyes out.
They couldn't really keep fighting anyway. Both were running on fumes, but the tension between them was definitely there.
"It's getting late. Are you planning on spending the night here, or should I take you ladies home?" Roy asked, wanting to get a move on.
This reminded Madison that they had snuck out.
"Roy, what time is it?"
"Around two o'clock," Roy replied.
Hearing this, Madison breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had thought she'd been out cold for much longer.
But with how beat up they were today, there was obviously no more partying to be had. It would be better to go back to school and whip up some healing potions.
"We're going back to school. You're taking us!" Madison said, tilting her head up to look at Roy. Even though she could drive herself, she'd much rather have Roy take them.
And that was exactly what Roy wanted.
"My pleasure!" Roy said with a charming smile.
Roy reached out and helped Madison and Zoe up. Both girls looked at Roy with desire in their eyes, but when they looked at each other, they became guarded.
Clearly, they both already saw each other as rivals.
They were really all bark and no bite, not even a match for Roy, yet both wanted him all to themselves.
Couldn't they all just get along?
Shaking his head, Roy was about to help the two girls leave the nightclub when Zoe suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a minute, where's Maria?"
Madison also remembered at this point that there was another member of their little group.
"So, from what you're saying, the three of you came here tonight?" Roy asked, clarifying.
Madison nodded. "Yeah, we do have another friend. She left with some other guy before you got here. We don't know where she is now."
"Oh? What does she look like?" Roy inquired.
Madison and Zoe briefly described Maria: long black hair, very pale skin, beautiful, always with a cold expression, and about their age.
The more Roy heard, the stranger it seemed. The description was way too similar to the black-clad security guard's description. Considering they were all witches, could it be that Madison and Zoe's friend was the killer?
Zoe noticed the strange look on Roy's face.
"Roy, have you seen Maria?"
"No, but the security guard just said there was a murder inside the nightclub. The suspect they saw on the surveillance footage looks a lot like your description," Roy explained, his tone serious.
Madison and Zoe were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes started to dart around nervously.
Both of them knew Maria and that she had killed several people before. She was one of the most dangerous and unapproachable characters at school. If she really had killed someone, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
"From the looks on your faces, it seems like you guys know something? Can you tell me about it?" Roy pressed, sensing they were holding back.
Zoe hesitated, unsure whether to say anything or not. Madison quickly nudged her with her elbow, trying to stop her from spilling the beans.
"Let's just get back to the car first and talk there!" Madison suggested, trying to change the subject.
When they left the nightclub, the three of them were questioned by the police, but with the nightclub security guard's testimony, they were still able to leave without any issues.
Roy helped Madison and Zoe to the sports car. Madison immediately tossed the car keys to Roy, telling him to drive.
"Are we really just going to leave Maria?" Zoe asked, feeling a bit uneasy about it.
Madison wasn't as kindhearted as Zoe and immediately started ranting. "That bitch, she's always causing trouble! I brought her out to have fun, not to kill people!"
It seemed like this little group of three was about to fall apart after just a few hours.
"Ladies, are we going or what? Give me an answer already!" Roy said, eager to get to the witch school to see Emma and not wanting to waste any more time at the nightclub.
Madison crossed her arms, making her decision. "Let's go!"
Roy nodded, and just as he was about to start the car, he noticed a woman walk in front of it.
Long black hair, very pale skin, beautiful, always with a cold expression, and about the same age as Madison and Zoe – wasn't this the Maria they were talking about?
"Were you guys waiting for me?" Maria asked calmly, looking at Madison and Zoe in the car, and then her gaze landed on Roy.
Instantly, Maria's eyes lit up, just like Madison and Zoe's had when they first saw Roy.
"Oh, is this handsome guy your prey for tonight? Not bad at all!" Maria commented, seemingly unfazed by everything that had happened.
Seeing Maria acting like nothing was wrong, Madison was furious. "Get in the car, now!"
Maria slowly got into the car. Right across the street were several police cars, yet this girl really wasn't scared at all.
"Maria, tell me honestly, did you kill someone in the nightclub?" Madison demanded, her voice tight with anger.
"That creep tried to force himself on me. I just accidentally used a little too much force when I was fighting back," Maria said, shrugging her shoulders with an innocent look on her face.
Roy and Madison could both see the smugness in her eyes.
Maria had most likely deliberately lured that man in order to have an excuse to kill him.
Only Zoe was naive enough to actually feel relieved for Maria. "Oh, is that what happened?" she asked, her tone lighter.
Madison shot Zoe a glare and mercilessly exposed Maria's act. "Cut the crap! You did it on purpose! Do you know how much trouble you've caused me? The guy behind this nightclub is Irish mafia, he's definitely not going to let you get away with this!"
Maria still seemed unconcerned and even yawned. "Handsome, I'm a little tired. Can you take us back to school now?"
Maria's attitude made Madison incredibly angry. If she wasn't currently injured, she would have definitely grabbed Maria by the hair.
Roy glanced at Madison, reminding himself that it was her car after all. "Drive!" she snapped.
"Give me directions," Roy requested.
Roy started the car, and it accelerated incredibly fast, with a strong push against their backs.
As everyone knows, the inside of a supercar is usually quite cramped, generally only having two seats.
Madison's red Ferrari 360 Modena was no exception.
On the way to the nightclub, there were only three of them. Madison drove, and Zoe and Maria could barely squeeze into the passenger seat since neither of them was very overweight.
Now, with all three girls crammed into the passenger seat, it was quite crowded. Especially when they moved around, it would affect Roy's driving.
"Ow! Who pinched my boob?!" one of them yelped.
"Someone grabbed my butt!" another complained.
"Stop it, you're gonna pull all my hair out!" the third exclaimed.
It wasn't clear who started it, but the three girls, squeezed together in the passenger seat, actually started fighting, completely ignoring Roy.
Some of the things they were saying left Roy speechless. He could only conclude that they were indeed American girls.
Just as the car drove into the suburbs, Roy suddenly saw several cars blocking the road ahead. He had no choice but to slam on the brakes.
"Ouch!"
The three girls were thrown together in a tangled mess, and Madison and Zoe were injured again.
"Ah! Roy, why did you brake so suddenly?! That hurt like hell!" Madison cried out, tears almost streaming down her face. In the instant of braking, Maria's knee had slammed into her lower region. Madison couldn't tell if Maria had done it on purpose or if it was an accident.
"Someone's blocking the road up ahead!" Roy explained, his eyes scanning the scene.
Several cars were positioned across the middle of the road, clearly a roadblock, and these weren't police cars.
Madison pushed aside a long leg that was blocking her view and her expression changed drastically. "Damn it! It's the Irish mafia! They must have found Maria! Roy, quick, turn around!"
It was actually quite easy to figure out. Madison, Zoe, and Maria had entered the nightclub together. This could definitely be seen by checking the surveillance footage. So, as long as they followed Madison and Zoe, they could find Maria.
However, the nightclub owner hadn't reported this to the police, which meant he wanted to handle Maria himself.
Just as Roy was about to make a U-turn, a few more cars appeared, blocking their escape route.
This made Madison's expression even uglier.
"What do we do?" Roy asked Madison, looking for guidance.
"Let's get out of the car. I'll talk to the nightclub owner and see if we can resolve this peacefully," Roy suggested, hoping to de-escalate the situation.
Although she was very annoyed with Maria's actions, at this moment, Madison still wanted to show off her "big sister" power.
However, the way the "big sister" got out of the car was anything but dignified. The three girls were tangled up in a heap, and Roy had to practically drag them out.
When she got out, she also pulled something, causing Madison so much pain she wanted to curse.
At this moment, over a dozen people got out of the cars blocking the road. The leader was a blonde middle-aged man wearing sunglasses even at night. This guy had to be the nightclub owner.
"Simon, what do you want?" Madison demanded, trying to sound tough despite her injuries.
"Heh, Madison, you're actually asking me what I want? Why don't you ask your little friend over there?" Simon retorted, his eyes fixed on Maria.
Simon was indeed after Maria.
Maria, for her part, wore a completely indifferent expression, as if Simon were talking about someone else.
Madison crossed her arms, wanting to strike a pose full of dominance, but it pulled on her wounds, causing her to wince in pain. "Hiss! Simon, give me a break!"
Simon suddenly burst out laughing, and his goons around him started chuckling as well.
"Hahahaha... Madison, if I give you a break, then who's going to give me a break? Don't waste my time!" Simon sneered.
Simon's men were already reaching inside their clothes, clearly going for their guns.
This action made Zoe very scared, and she couldn't help but grab Roy's arm, seeking a sense of security.
Madison wasn't as frightened. She knew Simon wouldn't just start shooting. This was more about intimidation.
After all, it was already the year 2000, and the mafia wasn't just about mindless violence anymore.
"Simon, I can give you money. How about we just call it even and end this here?" Madison offered, hoping to buy their way out of trouble.
Madison just wanted to drag things out. Once they were inside the witch school, even the FBI couldn't touch them.
Simon's expression was very unpleasant.
"Madison, this is no longer a matter that money can solve. Your friend killed a senator's son. I have to hand her over to that senator!" Simon revealed, his tone firm.
So that's what this was about. If a senator was involved, then money definitely wouldn't solve the problem. No wonder Simon had come to find Madison himself.
Madison turned her head to look at Maria, her expression saying, "Look what you've done."
"Alright, enough with the chit-chat," Maria said, stepping forward with a forced air of nonchalance. "I'll go with you guys. Just let them leave."
Maria's seemingly carefree attitude even made Zoe feel a little guilty. Then Madison grabbed her shoulder, stopping her from saying anything.
"What the hell are you talking about?! I brought you guys out, and I'm going to make sure I take you back!" Madison declared, her voice unwavering.
Hearing this, Simon let out a contemptuous smile. He didn't think that three teenage girls and some pretty boy could pose any real threat to him.
"Madison, do you think this is some kind of game? You guys, grab that girl! Anyone who tries to stop you, beat them down!" Simon ordered his men.
Four men in black, each holding a handgun, started walking towards Maria. Just as they grabbed her, Madison suddenly yelled,
"Attack!"
