“What exactly do you want?”
Knowing that she wouldn't be able to talk sense into him, Francesca asked Chrono frankly about his purpose.
“I told you, I want you to pay for Candice's death!”
Chrono enunciated every single word clearly with murderous intent.
“The police are incompetent. There are several hidden bombs in the orphanage, but they have not found them. I can't guarantee there won't be another explosion if I'm in a bad mood. By then, it will not just be another few kids getting injured.”
“You are crazy! You lunatic!”
Francesca yelled agitatedly and almost jumped out the bed.
“It's all thanks to you.” Chrono remained unfazed. “I wouldn't turn out this way if Candice were alive. She must be so lonely in heaven all by herself. I'm sure she wants some children to accompany her. Also, not to forget, a good friend like you.”
“You-” “Come meet me now. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen next. Remember to come alone and not to bring anyone with you. I'll kill a child if you bring one person with you.”
Chrono finished his sentence calmly and hung up the phone.
Mixed feelings stirred within Francesca as she listened to the disconnect tone.
She knew Chrono would do anything to avenge Candice. He was capable of causing an explosion at the orphanages in S Nation even though he was at H City. It was evident that he had an accomplice and that they had come prepared.
Francesca was worried about the safety of the children at the orphanage if she didn't compromise.
However, she would be in danger once she left the villa, away from the protection of the Lindberg family.
But now, the safety of the children at the orphanage clouded her mind.
At the thought of that, Francesca immediately changed her clothes and jumped out of the balcony.
After Chrono revealed his whereabouts and caused the police to track him down previously, he had not appeared nearby.
