Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 482

Chapter 486

In that instant, one of the mercenaries threw a tinder that he had prepared ahead at Hanson and Vania. "Die!" However, Hanson and his family quickly used their agents against the tinder by aiming their spray bottles at it, instantly nullifying its flammable properties.

At the same time, a few others, who were hesitating if they should throw their tinder, followed suit and shouted, "We'll die together!" As the floor was all covered with the harmful substance the mercenaries just spilled, the place went down in flames the second the tinder fell on the floor.

"Help! This place is on fire! Help!"

"Help! Help!" The bystanders screamed and shouted for attention, running away from the flames as far as they could. At the same time, the flames burned brighter and brighter as they stood there and watched the horrible sight of billowing smoke that rose to the sky.

Deep down, they were all convinced that the people who were trapped in the flames were probably reduced to ashes. However, neither of them knew that Hanson and his family were protected from the flames by the agent the children synthesized as they were unfazed by the flames.

In the meantime, Melanie, who was smiling sinisterly in the corner, gleefully gloated over the plausible death of Vania and her family on the inside. Finally, Vania and her family can rest in peace. Haha! From now on, there will be no one else left to stop me from enjoying a rich and comfortable life.

At the same time, she couldn't stop complimenting herself for her cleverness as she only spent one million out of the five million Eddie gave her on the mercenaries she hired. For that, she was happy that she got to keep the rest of the money for herself. "Haha. I'm the one who has the last laugh! Haha!" Melanie laughed maniacally in the corner.

In the meantime, Lilith was sitting in Brandon's car while watching everything in cold blood without blinking. When Brandon noticed how indifferent the girl was, he nodded to himself, seemingly approving of her without saying it.

However, he still spoke nonchalantly unlike he usually did. "Young Master Eddie heard about what happened in school earlier today. Consider this a lesson taught to them, but I trust you know what you must do should something like this happen again."

Lilith nodded in response. "Understood, Mr. Larson. Young Master Eddie has given me everything I have right now, so I'll be sure to obey his every wish and do everything he tells me to."

Brandon chuckled and answered, "Good. Remember, the best way to repay Young Master Eddie is not to let him down."

"Speaking of which, will there be a new mission for me, Mr. Larson?" Lilith thought she had a new assignment to handle.

"Not at the moment. For now, just focus on what you must do." He then added, "Although Young Master Eddie taught them a lesson on your behalf, you must know that your impulsiveness in school earlier today was unforgivable."

"Alright, I understand." Lilith kept her head down, feeling unhappy because she reckoned she had just achieved her purpose by successfully drawing Vania's attention.

"I know what you're thinking, but if I were you, I'd forget about whatever monkey business I have in my mind in front of Young Master Eddie," Brandon warned Lilith as he didn't seem to like the little girl at all despite her young age.

"Alright, I will keep that in mind." Lilith looked down a little.

"When you get back, don't forget to thank Young Master Eddie for everything he's done for you today." Brandon gave the child some encouragement after lecturing her.

"I will."

After humbling Lilith, the man decided to step on the gas pedal and drove away. Deep down, Vania and Hanson were no longer a threat to him because he reckoned they were either dead or severely injured due to the flames. However, they didn't know that Hanson and his family were able to put out the fire as they stood in place, unscathed and unharmed.
