That night, Mark was quite exhausted both physically and mentally.
But what left Mark with mixed feelings of relief and discomfort was that Adrian had come to Eland.
With the presence of Adrian, the main player, there was no need for him to worry about rescuing Melody Parker.
But the next day, Mark was awakened by a violent explosion.
Without a second thought, Mark immediately rushed to the scene of the explosion.
There, Mark saw Locke retrieving Adrian.
Mark, pale-faced, rushed to Locke.
He grabbed Locke and, with a trembling voice, asked a series of questions: "What happened? How come there was such a severe explosion? Where's Melody? Is she alright?"
Locke, eager to retrieve Adrian and with no time to entangle with Mark, quickly summarized, "The CEO was exchanging hostages with James Sutton, and that old guy planted a bomb on the yacht! Miss Parker is fine and has already returned to Whitehill with Ralph Carter. Our CEO went missing in the explosion!"
