With Yan Di's assurance, both Song Mengmeng and Hu Yue felt relieved. They then went to discuss the next issue with Old John—safety.
If we bring Reynolds back, we will inevitably face the Church's pursuit.
Therefore, finding a place to settle him down became the most urgent matter at hand.
Of course, Yan Di does have businesses in Wudu, but sometimes even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Besides, they need to seize the time to gather more clues. Even if they have some deterrent power to make these guys back down, being targeted will still make their next operation much more inconvenient.
Therefore, Reynolds cannot appear at the manor under the name of the Emperor Yan where they currently reside.
“I have a country house in Herrington that not many people know about, and it’s not too far from here.” Although Old John didn’t know why Song Mengmeng and the others were so sure they could bring Reynolds out, since these young people had such confidence, he didn’t hide anything and simply offered a house that now looked barely decent.
It was in the countryside, and there weren't many people living nearby.
Moreover, what he was most satisfied with when he bought that house was the design of its basement. He didn't know what the owner of the house had in mind when he built it, but the basement was built to be very comfortable and spacious. It could not only be used for storage, but also as a living room without any problem.
I later learned that the previous owner of the mansion had experienced the brutal air raids, so when the house was renovated, the basement was also built according to air defense standards.
This way, even if war breaks out again in the future, the family will have a place to hide.
Hearing Old John's explanation, Song Mengmeng and the others felt relieved and even eagerly suggested that they go to the mansion to take a look right now.
Old John was taken aback, but he didn't object. He stood up, grabbed a coat, put it on, went downstairs, said a few words to the old lady who was minding the shop, and then led Song Mengmeng and the others out.
Originally, Old John wanted to drive the old truck himself, but Hu Da simply pushed him into the passenger seat of the car Gu Qi was driving. Then she drove another car, taking Song Mengmeng and Hu Yue with her, and followed behind Gu Qi's car, heading towards the location of the house.
It must be said that the location of the house that old John bought was really good.
Surrounded by mountains and lakes, the scenery is superb.
Of course, the most important factor is the sparse population; the nearest residence in the vicinity is several kilometers away. So, just as he had described, it is indeed very safe and not easily discovered.
After Yan Di and the others dropped Song Mengmeng and Hu Yue off, they left without lingering.
The three girls, Huda and the other two, stayed with Old John in the three-story country villa.
“It’s very quiet here. I come here to stay for a while every year.” Old John said as he took out his key and opened the gate. Only at this moment did he reveal the difference between himself and ordinary people of the same age.
If he were an ordinary human being, he would probably have difficulty walking if he were this old and frail.
But the old man in front of me still looked energetic and sprightly.
The four of them entered the villa. The furnishings were quite ordinary, nothing special. Old John warmly showed the three girls around and then assigned them several guest rooms.
After that, we will definitely have to ask about the whereabouts of the Yama Emperor and the others.
Song Mengmeng didn't hide anything and said matter-of-factly, "He went to pick up Reynolds. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll probably see him soon."
This simple tone, as if he were just going out to buy groceries, completely stunned Old John.
However, while old John was shocked, he wasn't really stupid.
He quickly realized that these seemingly simple-looking Easterners might actually be able to rescue his old friend, whom he had tried every possible method to find in the past few days but had not actually been able to locate.
And Song Mengmeng really didn't lie to him. Although she came back a little late, the knocking at the door at three in the morning still woke up the people in the room.
Although they were somewhat prepared, Song Mengmeng and the others were still shocked when they actually saw Reynolds' current state.
Clearly, this man has suffered quite a bit this time.
The injuries all over his body looked quite serious.
Of course, the most troublesome thing wasn't these gruesome external injuries; what was truly fatal was that his tendons in his hands and feet had been severed. From a human perspective, this person was now completely crippled.
"Who did this?!"
Seeing his old friend's miserable state, old John's eyes immediately reddened. He subconsciously clenched his fists and wanted to turn around and leave, but was stopped by Reynolds, who was lying on the bed with Huda and Hu Yue helping to clean his wounds.
"John, don't be impulsive."
Reynolds took a breath and, seeing that Old John wasn't going to leave, breathed a slight sigh of relief: "You're no match for them."
Some things you won't know until you experience them, and you won't know how terrible they are.
He never imagined that such a terrifying place was hidden within the Holy See, which he had always thought was clean, holy, and inviolable! Just thinking about what he had seen, Reynolds now wished he could stand up immediately and kill those hypocritical bastards.
