Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1192

He came here on a treasure hunt, eager to explore the island brimming with medical equipment and all kinds of toxic gases and poisons. Jules was absolutely thrilled and couldn't wait to check out Eula's base. But when he arrived, everything in the lab was blown to smithereens.

"Ah well," Flora said, surveying the charred remains around them, "What about the bodies?"

"With a blast like that, there wouldn't be anything left but dust!" came the reply.
