The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285 The Lucky Firefighters

Some people were reckless enough to stand across the street and film the scene.

A few photos and short videos taken from close range quickly spread online.

Even though it was not entertainment news, the story still drew a lot of attention.

ExplosionInKhiburn

[That was terrifying. I live in a nearby apartment building. Even though I’m a good distance away, I still heard two explosions. The first one wasn’t too loud, but the second one scared me badly.]

[The smoke in the photos and videos looks huge, and the fire seems pretty big too. How did an explosion even happen?]

[I heard it started with an electrical issue from a diner. There were propane tanks inside, so one of them exploded. But here’s the strange part. People say the tank was the largest size, yet no one was hurt.]

[Isn’t it good that no one got hurt? What do you mean by that? Are you saying explosions must injure someone? Firefighters are people too, you know!]

[No, no, you misunderstood. That’s not what I meant. I’m just saying the explosion looks strange. It was loud, but it only destroyed the restaurant. Even the firefighters standing nearby were fine. It didn’t spread to the surrounding buildings at all!]

[Anyway, it’s really strange. If you look carefully at the leaked videos and photos, only the restaurant was blown up. The surrounding buildings weren’t affected at all. Even the walls of the stores right next to it are fine. They’re just a little black from the smoke. Isn’t that weird?]

[You’re right. So what actually caused the explosion?]

[I looked at the pictures again. It really does look strange. When the debris flew out, it spread in a clear fan shape, almost like something trapped the explosion inside. The shockwave didn’t spread outward at all…]

[Also check out this video. The firefighters were standing really close when the explosion happened. Normally they should have been hit by the blast, but somehow they were completely fine. Anyway, it’s good that no one got hurt. But why were there two explosions?]

[I heard there was something else inside the diner that caused the first explosion. Then the propane

tank exploded afterward. I run a shop nearby, and honestly that owner is terrible. When the firefighters asked if there were any chemicals in the restaurant, he insisted there were none! I’m pretty sure he was hiding something. That’s probably why there were two explosions.]

[Hey, I’m a delivery guy. Let me tell you something. That owner is really shady. One time someone ordered food during a slow hour. I went to pick it up, but nobody came out. So I walked into the kitchen. I saw the owner soaking some nasty–looking meat in a big bucket filled with some kind of liquid. The smell was sharp and awful. As soon as he saw me, his face changed and he yelled at me to get out.]

[Damn, you think it was formaldehyde solution? That stuff preserves things. Some dishonest restaurant owners use it to keep meat from spoiling.]

Finished

[I’ve heard something too! My friend’s relative is a firefighter. Apparently someone stopped the firefighters from rushing inside the restaurant. Right after they were stopped, the explosion happened.]

Then someone noticed a familiar figure in the photos and videos.

[Wait, doesn’t the person in this photo look like Scarlett?]

[Now that you say it, it really does look like her. Didn’t Scarlett go to Khiburn yesterday for an audition? Could that actually be her? What was she doing there? Oh, speaking of Scarlett, isn’t the director supposed to announce today who got the role of Princess Mona?]

[Do you think the person who stopped the firefighters might have been Scarlett? Isn’t she known for psychic readings? Maybe she sensed something and stopped them.]

[Haha! Scarlett’s fans really know how to praise her. Why don’t you just say she controlled the explosion and shrank the blast so no one got hurt?]

[Hey, don’t laugh. That might actually be possible.]

[You Scarlett fans are just as confident as she is.]

Once Scarlett’s name came up, plenty of haters joined the discussion.

Scarlett stopped reading.

She knew the restaurant owner would definitely be investigated. Prison time and heavy compensation were almost certain.

Scarlett closed the page.

She had slept for more than ten hours and was starving.

She went into the kitchen and whipped up her lunch.

Blackie seemed to know she had been hurt. The cat lay quietly at the doorway, keeping her company.

Since Scarlett returned home yesterday, Blackie has stayed by her side the entire time, not eating or drinking.

While Scarlett ate, she brought Blackie’s food bowl over and added a little spiritual essence to the cat’s water bowl.

“Blackie, go ahead and eat, I’m fine now.”

Scarlett gently patted the cat.

Blackie looked at her with clear green eyes that shone like gemstones. She let out a soft meow before lowering her head to drink the spiritual essence and eat her cat food.

As Blackie took in more spiritual essence, she gradually became smarter.

Her personality also grew calmer and more steady.
