Chapter 33
"Grayson couldn't help but let out a mocking laugh as he remembered the fortune teller's words, which had led him to this ridiculous situation.
“Haha...”
At his brief laugh, everyone, including Ezra, started to glance at him cautiously. Even the driver quickly glanced at Grayson through the rearview mirror.
What’s going on? Is he seriously thinking of setting the fire truck on fire? That’s the one thing we can’t let happen! It’s okay, we lost the fight last time, but this time, if we all rush in together, we can stop it. We’ve got Dane with us today!
In fact, Dane had already turned his head towards the window, completely uninterested. Grayson, on the other hand, was completely absorbed in ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) thoughts of the fortune teller, narrowing his eyes as he recalled her face.
Right, there’s nothing special about it anyway. Fortune tellers always deceive people with their nonsense. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been fooled by them. Every time I visited a fortune teller, I ended up failing.
But fire... she wasn’t completely wrong about that.
Grayson narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, I’ll burn that fortune teller to the ground."
"When they arrived at the scene, thick black smoke had already risen high into the sky, filling the air. Even before getting out of the car, the acrid smell of smoke pierced their nostrils. As soon as the car came to a halt, they hastily got out and rushed to assess the situation.
“Damn, damn it.”
Someone cursed under their breath with a sigh. And no wonder, the fire had spread much larger than when the initial call came in. The house where it all started was completely engulfed, and the flames had spread to the three houses on either side. The ground was scattered with broken glass and charred debris. Because of that, people had now stopped trying to fight the fire on their own and were standing further back, away from the danger.
Wilkins shouted at the people gathered a bit further away, anxiously watching the flames.
