Chapter 76: Testing Her Ability
Xavier, who had been concealed in the corner of the shop in his invisible form, could only chuckle inwardly as he witnessed the unfolding scene.
He had initially thought about helping Iris deal with Ruby Winters. Still, it quickly became apparent that Iris possessed the ability to manipulate other people’s minds, punishing them without laying a single finger on them.
However, the revelation that Iris could read minds caught Xavier by surprise. He was starting to grasp why he couldn’t access her thoughts anymore; her newfound abilities might be the reason.
When Xavier notices Iris leaving the shop, he immediately goes back inside his car and pretends to be asleep. Soon, he heard a knock on the door.
"Are you done?" Xavier asked casually after Iris had settled into the car.
"Yes. Sorry to make you wait," Iris replied as she stowed her belongings in the back row. "So, where are we going now?" Her excitement radiated from her beaming eyes as she looked forward to their destination. However, Xavier remained silent, not explaining as he started the car.
Iris couldn’t help but smile, used to his silence. She took her cell phone from her coat pocket. She needed to hack into Ruby and her friend’s phones, as they had a picture of her at Darkhill when she was there with Gavriel. She couldn’t allow them to upload that picture on-campus forums, potentially causing trouble for her dear mentor.
Iris needed only a few minutes to delete the photo of Gavriel and herself from Ruby and her friend’s phone and another source they had. However, just as she was about to exit Ruby Winters’ device, something caught her eye — a locked folder with the name ’summer.’
Filled with curiosity, Iris opened the folder and was shocked to discover indecent photos and videos inside.
