Chapter 489
What happened? Why has he moved his plan forward? Despite Lilith's bewilderment, the only sensible thing she
could do was to congratulate Eddie. "Congratulations, Young Master Eddie. Your wish has come true."
When Eddie heard the little girl's response, his mood seemed to improve as he waved his hand to signify his
intention of showing Brandon and Lilith mercy. At that moment, he heard his phone ringing, whereupon he picked it
up.
In the next second, his face changed while his body looked like it was surrounded by an aura of anger and wrath.
"Are you seeking death, Melanie?!" Although Eddie's reaction might seem like an intimidating bluff, he was tempted
to strangle Melanie to death deep down.
"What happened, Young Master Eddie?" Brandon asked, sensing something wrong with Eddie's crankiness.
Eddie angrily answered, "Melanie tailed them all the way to the hospital without my permission."
"The hospital?" Brandon had no idea that Hanson and his family had gone to the hospital.

When Brandon heard that, he became panicky. "Young Master Eddie, this place is no longer safe for us to stay. We
need to get out of there."
"Ahh…" Eddie snarled and growled like a madman, smashing every piece of furniture in the house. However, Lilith
didn't seem to feel the same way at the same time. Instead, she was happy to hear the news, for that would mean
her chances to stay by Eddie's side were still alive.
In the meantime, Melanie barged into the hospital after her evil plan failed. With the two men she had hired earlier,
they directly made their way to the ward without even inspecting the area ahead, only to be confronted by
Hanson's guards when she got there. Damn it! I just ran right into their trap.
Needless to say, she was caught and seized by Hanson's guards in that instant. Not long after that, Hanson was
done with his herb bath, whereupon he sluggishly put on his clothes and showed up in front of Melanie. He didn't
even bother looking at her as he said, "Take her with us."
A few moments later, Hanson and his men made their way to a cave in the mountains where the mercenaries he
dealt with were kept. "President Luke," his subordinates simultaneously greeted him as Hanson responded with a
nod. He then entered the cave with a gloomy look on his face before taking off his clothes and revealing his
attractive physique.
Nonetheless, Melanie was not in any mood to admire his attractive figure because she was too scared for her life.
In fact, some of the mercenaries who had been captured fainted right away the moment they saw Hanson.
"Wake him up." Hanson gave an indifferent order to his men, looking as though he were a judge who had the power
to decide the fate of every single mercenary there.
Soon, pales and pales of water were splashed at those unconscious men as they came to their senses and begged
for mercy. "Please spare us, President Luke." Although they knew their pitiful plea wouldn't make much of a
difference, they still wouldn't stop begging Hanson to spare their lives.
"I thought you guys liked playing with fire, right? I'm about to let you have all the fun right now." When those
mercenaries heard Hanson's voice, they passed out once again. At the sight of that, Hanson chuckled coldly and
said, "Come on, what are these guys made of? How can they be so useless? Anyway, this is interesting."

they woke up again, the first thing they heard was Hanson's mischievous voice. "Since they like playing with fire so
much, I suppose we should put them next to the fire so that they can feel the burning sensation for twenty-four
seven. I bet they are going to fall in love with it."
"Please, President Luke—please have mercy on us. You can make us do anything you want us to. Anything! We
won't disobey you at all." Much to Hanson's surprise, the mercenaries, who had a fearless reputation, chickened out
in the face of death.
After all, they were afraid that they would end up becoming smoldered corpses if they were placed near the fire for
too long. For that, they wished they could be given a quick and painless death instead.
"Hey! Thanks to you guys, I nearly forgot something. A barbecue is only perfect with some sauce." Hanson then
raised his hand, whereupon two of his men carried two big buckets of water with some herbs in them.
As he stared at the bucket, the look in Hanson's eyes was sinister. "Can you guys see the two buckets of water
here? I just added something of my very own creation into it, but I wonder how it compares to the poison that you
guys used on us. Are you excited about the results? I certainly am."
