Puff! Puff! Puff!
Several soft, muffled sounds rang out in rapid succession.
Lila felt a faint impact against her abdomen, as though someone had poked her several times with their fingers.
She stared in shock at the cleaning woman who had suddenly attacked. The woman blinked, and her formerly dull expression turned utterly stunned.
Their eyes met for only an instant. Lila suddenly realized she had nearly died. The terror of surviving by a hair's breadth instantly transformed into killing intent. She swung her Wand without hesitation and shouted:
"Confringo!"
"Bang!"
The cleaning woman flew backward and slammed heavily into the wall behind her. Black smoke and flames rose from her head as she lay motionless on the ground.
She's dead for sure!
Lila lowered her Wand in satisfaction and touched the vest beneath her clothes, still shaken by lingering fear.
She knew how powerful Muggle firearms were. If not for this vest, she would have died just now.
She had gotten this Anti-Curse Vest from Soren Minden's home—the coward had mistaken the fabricated video from the previous banquet as proof that the Wizarding World was about to be exposed, and immediately bought himself a life-saving vest.
Minden had even pretended to care deeply about his wife and child when he begged them for mercy. Yet when he handed over the vest, the look on his wife's face made it clear she had known nothing about it.
Because the Anti-Curse Vest was so expensive, Minden had only been willing to buy one.
After obtaining the vest, Fontana had considered his magic formidable and disdained such a thing, generously giving it to her.
And now, it had saved her life!
Lila swallowed hard. Looking at the attacker lying motionless nearby, she focused her mind and immediately began to Apparate!
