The confidence Henry showed when he tried to assure Reyni shocked Reyni.
Looking at Henry, Reyni took a deep breath and said slowly, "As long as you can get my family to safety, I'll get the people you need."
"Very good," Henry nodded. He swirled his hand and made the purple Qi turned. The Qi lifted the dead bodies of the six spotters and tossed them into the sewer, "They were killed by the puppets, and you and I..."
At this moment, a broken machete on the ground was lifted. It moved about in the air swiftly. Then a dozen of machete cuts appeared on Reyni and Henry. One of Henry's cuts was so deep it bore bone.
Reyni gritted his teeth in pain. He knew Henry was trying to make them looked terrible so their story was believable. He took a look at Henry. To his surprise, there was no pain appeared on Henry's face, as if he had got used to being physically injured.
Reyni knew at this moment that Henry was someone who got what it took to be a leader, not Mr. Yang.
Henry looked around to make sure that they were really at the outside of Thunder Town. Although they were out of town, there was still no signal for communication devices.
"Let's get back."
Reyni and Henry jumped back in the manhole and ran back to the bunker quickly. To Reyni's surprise, their use of Qi didn't bring Evil Spirit's attention.
What Reyni didn't know was that Evil Spirit left them alone after sensing the Qi from Henry.
When they got back to the bunker, Mr. Yang and his ladies were sitting in the living room.
Seeing that they were wounded, Mr. Yang looked surprised. But he hid his emotion right away.
However, Reyni and Henry still noticed Mr. Yang's emotional changes.
"Hehe, Qi-concentrating Realm masters are indeed formidable. So many people were sent out, and only you two came back," Mr. Yang clapped his hands and asked, "Have you finished exploring?"
"It's done," Reyni nodded, "We have confirmed that this part of the sewer would lead us out of Thunder Town. I want to get out with my wife and kids."
Then Reyni walked toward one of the tunnels.
When Reyni mentioned that he and Henry had found the way out, the ladies sitting by Mr. Yang all looked excited.
Only Mr. Yang appeared to be gloomy.
"Stop there," Mr. Yang glanced at Reyni, "Hold the information about the other side of the sewer. I suggest you stay here with your wife and kids. I'll arrange what's next. Do I make myself clear?"
Reyni turned his head and looked at Mr. Yang in confusion.
Mr. Yang waved his hand and said, "I have my reasons, and you don't need to know. I'll say that again, no one in this room is allowed to tell what you've heard today. If there is any leak, all of you will be in big trouble!"
Mr. Yang said with a domineering tone of voice, which brought a chill to everyone in the room. His ladies all shivered.
Reyni made a moping sound and stepped backward.
