"Haha, Miss Chu, you don't have to say much." Henry smiled slightly. "Everyone has their own choices. You were right to leave at that time."
"No," Eurydice hurriedly explained. "I didn't want to leave, but Senior Cleytus said that my father was about to arrive. He said that taking me with him would stall some time. I thought it was true, so..."
"Indeed." Henry nodded. "Miss Chu has lured two enemies for us. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to escape from them when the demonic wolf pack comes."
How could Henry not see through Eurydice's excuse? However, he had no intention of telling her the truth.
Henry looked around. There was no light in this underground passage, but it provided him with a relatively good sight. He could not see everything clearly, but it also did not affect his vision too much.
After several observations, Henry came to the conclusion that there were many broken materials like glass dregs in the underground passage, which were embedded in the stone walls. Henry was not surprised. After all, this was the 21st century. Although this Recluse world looked the same as the ancient times, Henry would not be surprised to see toilet seats installed in the rooms.
There was a large space in this cave, and Eurydice took Henry and Ranjeet to walk for more than ten minutes before they arrived at the place.
With Henry's super memory, he could be sure that Eurydice did not lead them in circles, they did not walkthrough any repetition.
The testing place was also a cave. When they arrived, Henry saw that four people had been waiting there. All four of them were men, about 25 or 26 years old. Cleytus, whom he met today, was also standing in front of the cave with bandages on his hands.
"Cleytus, the newcomers from last time followed you. This time it should be my turn." A stout man said to Cleytus, "I, Kristofor Meng, am also your senior brother. You won't refuse me this favour, will you?"
"I say, Kristofor, when it comes to seniority, I'm Master's eldest disciple. Shouldn't these two also belong to me?" A young man holding a fan spoke. "I, Kensuke Pei, have been following Master for so many years. When you first joined, I also took quite good care of you. Now that a newcomer has come, shouldn't you take me, your Eldest Senior
Brother, into consideration?"
The last youth appeared to be the most delicate and handsome. Dressed in a green shirt, he seemed very quiet. After Kristofor and Kensuke finished speaking, he said, "Senior Brothers, you have a lot of followers. You've already accomplished quite a bit. You don't need to worry about these two rookies. Why don't you reward me, a junior apprentice-brother?"
"I don't mind." Cleytus looked indifferent. "But don't blame me for not reminding you. These two people are really good-for-nothings. They are so timid."
Cleytus thought of the scene that Ranjeet was trembling with fear when he saw the men in black, as well as the scene that Henry was too scared to speak.
The four of them talked as if they were dealing Henry and Ranjeet as goods.
When they saw Henry and Ranjeet coming, all four of them closed their mouths in tacit agreement, and then surrounded them with a warm face.
"Brother Syl, Brother Ranjeet, young heroes. Welcome."
"Haha, there are two new members in our big family." "With the two young heroes joining us, our strength has increased by leaps and bounds!"
Cleytus walked over with a smile and said, "Thank God, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jin. I'm so glad that you two are all right. Since I came back, I have been blaming myself. Fortunately, you two are safe now. Otherwise, I would never forgive myself!"
