Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 481

Chapter 485

With the money she received from Eddie, Melanie hired a hundred mercenaries and divided them into several teams at her disposal. Meanwhile, Hanson saw a car speeding in their direction as soon as he started the engine. As the car showed no signs of stopping, he could tell that whoever was driving wanted to die with them.

When he realized this danger, Hanson quickly made a sharp turn and brushed against the car before pulling over. "Get out of the car now!"

At the same time, Vania and the children were shocked by what was going on, but they managed to calm themselves down shortly after and jumped out of the vehicle. On the other hand, Hanson put his foot on the gas pedal and stepped on it hard, whereupon he hopped out of the car as it sped forward. After all, he knew the closer they were to the car, the more dangerous it was to them.

Nevertheless, the few of them later found themselves blocked and confronted by several unfriendly strangers. Soon, the man, who seemed to be their leader, said, "You're skilled, Mr. Luke, but you're not getting away from me even though you hopped out of the car. Today will be the day you meet your downfall at my hands."

As soon as the man finished his words, his underlings began to splash some unknown liquid that appeared to be flammable or harmful to the skin. Due to the surprising turn of events, Hanson and the others were caught off guard by the mercenaries. Although Hanson and Vania immediately shielded the children by hugging them, they failed to prevent the kids from being covered by the harmful substance.

James, who was resourceful enough to think of a solution, said, "Brothers, it's time to use it now." The next second, the boys each took what seemed like a white spray bottle from their pockets and proceeded to counteract the harmful substance. In fact, the bottles contained an agent they had just synthesized to neutralize the detrimental effects of the harmful liquid, which could help them minimize the hazard and ensure their safety.

"Mom, Dad, we need to spray this on ourselves now." In a matter of seconds, they managed to spray themselves with the agent from head to toe. After that, they immediately turned around, knowing the way ahead of them was blocked, only to realize they were surrounded by people who came from behind them as well.

"Meet your demise today," said the leader arrogantly.

However, the mercenary leader was quickly greeted by hundreds of drones levitating above his head as soon as he finished his words. Not long after that, he realized he was met with several teams of special force members who closed in on them in a hostile manner.

"Drop your weapons and surrender, or we'll shoot to kill." The voice that came from the drones sounded indifferently intimidating. In fact, those people were the reinforcement that Hanson secretly requested when he pushed the emergency button just before the car nearly crashed. It was then that he managed to gather around the special forces to take on the mercenaries.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries didn't expect Hanson's reinforcements as they started to chicken out in front of the overwhelming forces that Hanson had just rallied in less than a minute. Although the mercenaries were expected to die trying, many of them didn't think it would be their last day on earth; it did not occur to them that they'd die so soon.

Fine! We might as well die trying if we're all going to get killed in the end. "I want them all captured, or we're going to drag them down with us!" shouted the leader.

"Capture them! Capture them!" The mercenaries echoed their leader's command, but despite their numbers, they appeared to be low in morale.

"Are you sure you want to capture me? If you are, you'd better be sure you have what it takes; if you want to die, I can grant you your wish." Hanson's eyes were filled with a strong murderous intent as he waved his hand and signaled the people behind him to charge forward.

Hanson's men were all well trained, and each of them was capable of subduing a mercenary in no more than a second. For that, he didn't think the mercenaries would stand any chance against his elites.
