Samantha was blank for a moment. "You should've come sooner. Chris was here just now."
Recalling the handsome middle-aged man, Luke asked, "Is he the man who just left?"
Samantha nodded. "Yes. He's old McCormick's son and now owns those mines. Do you want me to call him and ask him what he thinks?"
Luke and Selina were of course happy about that.
Instead of going into the house, they sat on the porch and stared at the town in the morning sun.
"What a beautiful place," Selina remarked. "It's a shame that this is going to be abandoned."
Luke simply nodded, but he didn't feel much regret.
There were too many such beautiful and remote towns in America as well as China in Luke's last world, but for various reasons, these towns often eventually ended up as desolate lands that nobody ever visited.
