I stared coldly at my sister as she egged her son on, but said nothing.
Because I had been reborn.
And I was certain my sister had been reborn too.
Following my mother’s orders, my nephew cheered and sprinted toward the manhole.
This time, I hid far away.
He lit the firecracker, tossed it in, and dashed off just as—
BOOM!
The blast tore through the newly paved asphalt, sending chunks of road flying. A Rolls-Royce parked nearby flipped over like a toy car, landing with a sickening crunch.
The shockwave set fire to the nearby crops. The flames spread instantly.
This explosion was far worse than the one in my previous life.
My nephew ran back to my sister, who grinned and patted his head. “Good job! When Mom finds you a rich dad, we’ll buy whatever we want!”
She led him home. I just stood there, staring at the smoking ruin.
Even if my family sold everything we owned, we couldn’t afford to pay for this. And knowing them, they’d definitely gang up on me and make me take the fall.
My first priority was clear: I had to cut ties with these people.
When I got home, my sister was already acting out the entire scene for my parents, laughing as she described the explosion.
