Old John, who had lived in the food desert for many years, was enjoying a rare taste of Eastern cuisine. He was almost moved to tears with just one bite, and finally understood why Reynolds had praised that ancient country in the East so highly after returning!
Who doesn't love delicious food?!
"Eat quickly, we might have some important guests coming to visit soon." Yan Di placed two pieces of rabbit meat into Song Mengmeng's bowl next to him and spoke in a calm tone.
Song Mengmeng nodded, and the group then enjoyed a happy dinner.
Old John not only had a considerable collection of red wine in this house, but also a considerable amount of high-quality coffee beans.
Just as the group was finally able to sit on the sofa by the fireplace, sipping coffee and discussing their business, a sudden commotion outside the courtyard gate shattered their tranquility.
Old John gave everyone a reassuring look, then stood up and went out.
Not long after, he led four men in black suits with cold faces into the room.
Hu Yue was somewhat surprised when the person entered.
Because one of them was actually an old acquaintance of hers.
Marcus, who had always had a good relationship with Reynolds and was always seen with him.
"Hello, I didn't expect to see you here, Ms. Hu."
Obviously, seeing Hu Yue here was somewhat unexpected for Marcus, but he quickly composed himself, smiled, and walked over to her, extending his hand.
“I never expected to see you again, Mr. Marcus.” Hu Yue stood up calmly, shook hands with Marcus, and then continued with a half-smile, “What, didn’t you see Mr. Reynolds?!”
Marcus's face stiffened, but he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at Old John standing to the side and said after a long while, "Reynolds has disappeared. We suspect it was the work of the vampires."
Didn't old John tell you about this?!
"I don't quite understand why Old John would tell me this?!" Hu Yue asked Marcus innocently, puzzled. "I'm just here on vacation in the Smog Country with my friends, and Old John is good friends with them, so he's hosting us here. Is there anything wrong with that?!"
“Old John is a vampire, Miss Hu Yue, do you really not know that?!” Marcus didn’t believe Hu Yue’s explanation at all. His gaze swept over the people in front of him, and finally stopped on Old John.
"Why are you looking at me? I don't know anything!"
Old John glared back at Marcus defiantly, snorting and showing no respect for the man: "You can't just blame me for everything that happens, can you?!"
Even though I am a vampire, I still have a valid certificate of survival!
Unless you have evidence, I can file a complaint against you for making such baseless accusations against me!
On this point, old John had absolute confidence.
“Old John, I hope you understand the importance of this matter.” Now that things had come to this point, Marcus didn’t want to waste any more time on pleasantries and simply stated the purpose of their visit.
“Reynolds has gone missing. I know you've always had a good relationship with him, so you wouldn't want him to be in danger, would you?!”
Marcus's tone clearly revealed a hint of anxiety.
Last night, to everyone's surprise, right under everyone's noses, Reynolds just disappeared!
That's right, they've disappeared!
All the security cameras, even the room where Reynolds was imprisoned, failed to detect anything amiss! And Reynolds simply vanished without a trace!
Most of the people here aren't fools.
Reynolds certainly wouldn't just disappear for no reason, especially after he learned so many secrets. His whereabouts have become the Vatican's biggest concern right now.
Perhaps the invasion of the puppet race will bring about the destruction of this world, but...
However, if the secrets that Reynolds accidentally stumbled upon were exposed now, the Vatican would surely be destroyed first!
This is why the Vatican is now going to great lengths to send archbishops and cardinals out to search for Reynolds' whereabouts.
Old John is a vampire, but he is also a very good friend of Reynolds.
Therefore, after this incident, the Vatican naturally thought of him immediately.
However, after the day's investigation, nothing was found wrong with Old John. Apart from receiving a group of guests from foreign lands and then leaving his grocery store, there was nothing else amiss.
But where he went became the focus of everyone's attention.
However, after discovering that he had returned to his country residence, the Vatican officials naturally did not let the matter rest and quickly investigated Old John's whereabouts. Unfortunately, they did not find anything amiss with Old John along the way.
He has never left since he arrived here.
During the time Reynolds was missing, he even visited an old clerk at a nearby grocery store and bought some ham and lamb chops to treat his guests.
Moreover, throughout the day today, more than one person saw him taking a hunting rifle and several friends to the mountains behind the village, and then returning with a full load of game.
He didn't have the time to commit the crime.
As for the motive...
Marcus never believed that old John was truly innocent.
