Hearing Don Albert's confirmation that the fragment belonged to Charlie, Jack's heart skipped a beat. He whispered, "Charlie's belongings? Does that mean he's not in danger?"
Lowering his head, Jack carefully examined the traces left by the explosion. Following the path of the shockwave, he discovered more fragments of the giant clam on the ground.
His face grew pale, and he murmured, "Charlie's belongings are so close to the center of the explosion... If he was there when it happened, wouldn't he have borne the brunt of it?"
Don Albert burst into tears upon hearing this, unable to believe it. He said to Jack, his voice choked with emotion, "Inspector Lee, Master Wade is as mighty as the heavens. How could an explosion like this harm him?"
Jack squatted on the ground, picked up a piece of blackened soil, and rubbed it between his fingers. He brought it to his nose and sniffed, a worried expression crossing his face. "The temperature at the center of the explosion must have reached at least 3,000 degrees Celsius. If the ground can be burned like this... It suggests an explosive equivalent of one or two tons of TNT. Even a tank next to it would be reduced to shreds. We're dealing with human flesh and blood. Being in such close proximity, I'm afraid luck isn't on his side..."
