Billy furrowed his brow tightly and quickly looked in Falcon's direction. He saw Falcon sitting on the ground, his face pale with intense fear as if he had witnessed something terrifying.
Sensing something amiss, Billy hurried over to Falcon.
"Falcon? What's wrong with you?"
Falcon's mouth trembled as he pointed towards Mark, who was lying not far away.
"Mark, on his neck, he... t-there's..."
Out of fear, Falcon was almost incoherent.
Despite his shaky state, Falcon's words hinted at something, making it easy for Billy to understand his meaning.
Billy first glanced at Falcon. Then, with a grim expression, he gestured to a nearby subordinate.
"Go check what's on Mark's neck."
"Yes." The subordinate responded and cautiously approached Mark.
Upon reaching Mark's side, he finally spotted a small silver needle on Mark's neck after careful observation.
The subordinate quickly turned back to report to Billy.
"Billy, we found a silver needle on Mark's neck."
"A silver needle?"
Billy wasn't sure what it meant, but an ominous feeling crept into his heart.
