Chapter 149 Heaven’s Mecha Tragedy

As the deafening and blasting explosion occurred, Hank reacted swiftly, pulling Olivia Harrett away to safety.

However, that wasn't the end of the explosion. Instead, it was merely the start of a thunderous chain of explosions.

The sound was so alarming that people that had gone to rest in the safe hold were alerted.

"What's happening?"

"Are we getting swarmed by a monster wave?"

"What are those deafening explosions coming from?"

People were frantic and alarmed that such an explosion had occurred so frighteningly close to their resting area.

This was the safe hold, and triggering such an explosion meant something serious was happening.

Everyone's initial conclusion was that a monster wave had swarmed at them.

After all, no one would be stupid enough to use such deadly moves for a personal fight which would trigger everyone's anger and fury.

A safe hold was called a safe hold because it meant to be a safe place for everyone and not a place for fighting.

However, once everyone had subsequently calmed down, they soon realized the explosion and destruction had come from the direction of the reserved area of Heaven's Mecha.

While these people were astounded to see the explosion coming from Heaven's Mecha, Mary was laughing and snickering in her Iron Sentinel.

"Hahaha, I can't believe these Heaven's Mecha people are so impatient. It hadn't even been a day and they already fell into the trap."

As Mary was laughing wildly, she heard a knocking sound from the vehicle.

Composing herself slightly, she realized it was Gerald that had come rushing forward.

Opening the door, Mary smiled brightly, clearly in great joy. "What is it, Gerald?"

"I'm just here to make sure you're safe, Lady Mary. The chain reaction of the explosion is a bit out of expectation. The fire is starting to spread rapidly too, and the nearby camps are devastated." Gerald reported.

"Heh, when we planned for this trap, we already expected some casualties from unrelated people. They could only blame themselves for stationing near Heaven's Mecha, thinking they would be safe and sound there." She sneered coldly.

Gerald nodded his head.

"Either way, I'm going to increase security and assign some guards for you. Once Heaven's Mecha finished cleaning up, they would definitely seek revenge against you." He warned and suggested.

"Whatever, just go do what you were assigned once this incident happened. I wish to enjoy this moment more." Mary waved her hands, seemingly annoyed by Gerald's interruption. She had long known this would occur, but seeing it happening right now made her extremely joyful.

It was about time they sent Heaven's Mecha some of their personal greetings for the "care" they have been giving them in the past.

Gerald also understood that Mary was going to reminisce about this day dearly, so he no longer bothered her.

Leaving silently, Gerald made sure to order his subordinate to begin the next phase of their plan.

And while Mary was recording this scene, enjoying every single second, the same could not be said on the site of the explosion.

Hank's facial expression was completely darkened. The smile that he kept on his face for Olivia Harrett had completely vanished.

His clothes were slightly burnt to a crisp, but his skin was completely fine thanks to his tough skin.

His back was already wide open since he had shielded Olivia Harrett in time once he sensed something was amiss after the first explosion.

Had he not reacted quickly, then Olivia Harrett would have lost her life here.

And by then, being punished for the clause would be his least concern.

Although he wanted to figure out the situation and the damage, Hank had to calm himself and focus his attention on Olivia Harrett.

"Young Miss, are you okay?" Hank asked in concern, despite knowing she wasn't injured or harmed in any way.

With him taking all the blows, how could she be hurt?

"Hmph, what a very nice management you have, Hank!" Olivia Harrett held a fierce expression as she reprimanded Hank harshly.

"Were you trying to have me killed?" She shouted in fury.

"I don't dare." Hank lowered his head and said, accepting the scolding without a single complaint.

Alas, even without voicing any complaint, Olivia Harrett still fiercely slapped Hank in the face. Even if the situation wasn't caused by him, it was still his fault because he was the highest leader and the person in charge of management here.

"I demand you to quickly figure out what happened and whether this is an accident or not. If this is an accident, then you're going to get it. But if this is caused by someone else, then I don't need to tell you what to do, right?" Olivia Harrett commanded coldly.

Hank cupped his fist and nodded his head.

"Rest assured, Young Miss. I will definitely get to the bottom of this." He responded solemnly.

Even without her command, Hank wasn't going to let this incident go so easily. This was supposed to be an opportunity for him to gain her good side, and increase his chance of being deployed in important posts.

Yet everything was ruined with this colossal explosion that spanned across to god knows how far.

'How dare you ruin me!' Hank clenched his fist tightly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"What are you still standing here for? Quickly go and investigate!" Hank's anger subsided swiftly when he heard Olivia Harrett commanding him to move it.

"Understood, Young Miss." Hank kept a respectful tone before rushing to the scene of the explosion.

However, he didn't get far when he realized everything had crumbled.

From the concrete buildings to the workshop, everything within the radius was blasted into tiny debris.

What was worse was that black smoke kept coming out and visibility was extremely low.

As for the casualty?

Everyone was panicking and chaos was occurring everywhere, with zero people understanding the situation. So how could they know what the casualties count was?

Seeing the meticulous and gruesome work that he had placed in this place for all these years crumble just like that, Hank's emotion was filled with an uncontrollable rage.

This was a Heaven's Mecha tragedy that would soon spread to everyone, and Hank, being the person in charge, would be criticized severely.
