Can……

"So, are we just going to let it go like this?!"

Old John really couldn't swallow this insult.

Even when he was at his worst with Reynolds, he never imagined that one day he would treat him like this!

For humans, this act is arguably more cruel and terrifying than simply taking his life! Turning a once exceptionally talented and privileged individual into a cripple with all four limbs disabled…

"Do those things you said to me before still stand?!"

Reynolds coughed for a while before slowly raising his head, staring intently at old John in front of him, and softly asking a question.

Old John's expression changed, clearly not expecting Reynolds to suddenly ask him such a question. However, he quickly regained his composure and calmly replied, "Of course it still counts. But..."

The topic they talked about most was undoubtedly Reynolds's body.

Actually, Reynolds' health was already quite poor even before this incident. He had suffered many injuries in his early years, and although he had recovered considerably after treatment, his health had been damaged to the core. Now that he was older, those old ailments that he had suppressed before suddenly resurfaced like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Seeing his old friend tormented by illness every day, Old John, who had long since said goodbye to such troubles, began to suggest more than once that he try to become a vampire.

Of course, Old John initially said it as a joke. Although it was a joke, the probing was still quite obvious.

If Reynolds had shown even the slightest sign of agreement at that time, he would have acted without any hesitation!

However, Reynolds opposed the proposal from beginning to end.

Although he is no longer as hostile and repulsive towards vampires as he was before, he has no intention of joining them.

However, now...
