Their minds reeled, slowly to process the shock, but their hearts already pounded with dread.
Mrs. Mega was the first to react.
"No, this can't be happening.
There must be some mistake," she exclaimed, abruptly rising from her seat and grabbing the butler by his collar. Her once rosy complexion had drained to a deathly pallor.
"Go and verify this immediately. Right now!"
"Madam, I personally visited the scene as soon as I received the news.
I've cross-checked with witnesses and authorities multiple times," the butler replied, swallowing hard, his face etched with sorrow as he looked at Madam Mega.
"The explosion was caused by a gas leak—devastating in scale.
The entire villa was reduced to rubble in an instant, and the surrounding area suffered severe damage.
There was no chance for anyone inside to escape," he continued, his voice trembling.
"They've already recovered... many fragmented remains.
It's just that..." *Whether his boss was among them.*
