I bought a Twitter account from someone.

When that guy created that Twitter account, he used just his phone number. Then, few months later, he added an email address to that Twitter account. Then, after other few months, he sold the account to me, so I changed the email with a new address and his phone number with mine.

If my Twitter will be hacked sometime, and I request Twitter to reset everything in order to get my Twitter account back, where I will get the reset link? By SMS, on the mobile phone number used by the original owner, on the first email address added later by the original owner, or on the last email address / the last phone number, which are mine?

My IP address being from a different country than the original owner's may trigger security alerts within Twitter's system, potentially leading to temporary account locks until identity verification is completed. So, that's my question: how this verification will take place? Where the reset link will be sent?

You will get it on the last email address that was linked to the account, so in this case your email.
 
if is a reset password, your email address the only way to receive something in your cellphone is if that account is verify the blue thick otherwise the code to use is from any code generator but that code is only if 2fa is active if is disable everything should go to your email.
 
You will get our account remains locked due to suspicious activity, you may need to contact Twitter support directly. They might require additional information to verify your identity and ownership of the account. The specifics of this information can vary, but it typically involves confirming details only the account holder would know or providing information related to the account's history.
Are you sure? Someone told me that I need access to the original email/mobile phone, to prove that I created that account...
