Yang Yi followed Jethro into a safe house where they met Francois.
Francois entered the safe house with just two men, still somewhat cautious of Jethro. Although the men accompanying him didn't carry their guns in their hands, the weapons were within easy reach in case anything out of the ordinary were detected and they needed to open fire at a moment's notice. Moreover, most of the members were left outside, ready to provide backup in case they walked into a trap.
But the ones who entered with Francois were from Deyo's direct lineage.
"Just a few of you?"
Surprised at Jethro's meager company, Francois said, "So few of you came with him?" Jethro replied with a helpless expression, "Taking too many people along easily draws attention, buddy. I'm in charge here now, but our current situation isn't good, you understand, don't you?"
Francois nodded and said in a deep voice, "Of course, the situation is very bad."
