Just as Scarlett was about to leave, she suddenly heard Francis remark in a subdued tone, "I wonder how John is doing now, whether he can still make it back to Capital Star alive."
Scarlett's fingers gently tapped the armrest of her chair.
Almost instantly, everyone else, quite sensibly, did not depart but stayed put, listening to the two men talk.
Francis clearly felt that Scarlett was very concerned about John, his lips curling into a mocking smile as he continued, "After all, we did arrange for something else with Vulture. If that thing explodes, maybe their whole group will get caught up in it."
Benjamin glanced at Scarlett and then at Francis before joining in with a laugh, "Exactly. We thought we wouldn't need that thing, but turns out it's still pretty useful. Maybe some people will end up without a place to be buried."
Both men laughed at this, but Scarlett slightly furrowed her brows.
