Chapter 462 Won’t Come Back with Nothing
Ruby did not say a word, her face sinking as she pondered the possibility of this outcome.
After a few moments apart, an idea dawned on her.
“If he can’t hurt me if he wants what I have, and the only thing he can do is to control me, then the potion he sent to inject me with must have a controlling effect, and only then can I be used for him!”
Levi had already thought of this and nodded at the moment.
“That’s right, he must want to control you, he did before and he still does, the reason he’s not afraid to heal you and wants you to regain your memory is because this is his territory. After healing you, he will directly control you and then find an opportunity to inject you with a potion to control your brain cells, by then, you will be completely under his control.”
Ruby tugged the corner of her mouth and gave a cold smile: “I have to say, he is really smart, but he will fail!”
How could Ruby be controlled by others?
“Now he sees that I have no cure, so he can’t wait to fly over. I’m starting to wonder what that X Institute is all about.”
Levi: “You don’t even have to guess, what’s being researched in there is definitely not good, it’s all a tool for him to make huge profits.”
This was naturally clear to Ruby, and she was just curious as to what exactly was being researched in that institute.
After a moment’s contemplation, she moved closer to Levi and muttered in a low voice.
“Benjamin should also be there, when the time comes he will definitely try to control me and not let me contact the outside world, maybe he will take away my mobile phone or block the signal, when the time comes, you will use this.”
As she spoke, she fished a pair of rings out of her suitcase and handed one of them to Levi.
“This ring is a cover I had Josie prepare in advance, inside the ring has been installed in advance with satellite navigation, as well as the function to prevent blocking signals. One for each of us, once there is something wrong, I will use this ring to contact you, but usually I take the initiative to contact you, you should not take the initiative to contact me, otherwise I am afraid that Benjamin find out that something will go wrong later.”
“I can’t believe you had prepared for this in advance, it seems you were almost certain before you came that this was the stronghold of Benjamin.”
Levi looked at the ring in his hand and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
Ruby smiled, with a hint of amusement in her eyes.
“I have never fought an unprepared battle, and since I’m coming, I’m definitely not coming empty-handed, of course ……”
Here, she paused for a moment, a glint of confident certainty in her eyes, and finished adding immediately afterwards.
“And of course, I won’t go back with nothing! No matter what, this time I will uproot Benjamin’s lair!”
Levi looked into her determined eyes, his heart was filled with emotion and he abruptly smiled.
“Before I came, I thought it was my turn to protect you, but now you still have to go into battle yourself and it’s your turn to protect me.”
This woman was so powerful that when he always tried to protect her, he found that this woman almost didn’t need his protection at all and always managed to get everything in order.
Ruby blinked and suddenly bowed her head, slipping the ring onto his hand, inexplicably feeling like a marriage proposal.
“What nonsense, aren’t you protecting me? If you hadn’t followed me here, how would people really think I’ve lost my memory?”
She understood everything that was on Levi’s mind, and in her heart she had never been protected like this before.
Over the years, whenever something went wrong, it was always her who rushed up to solve it, with no one stood up for her.
She had become so used to such self-improvement that it was too difficult to change, but fortunately, now that she had Levi by her side, it was already so much better than before.
She had grown accustomed to it, to lean on him occasionally, and felt that it felt good to do so.
……
Meanwhile, Hallie was very much looking forward to the news that Benjamin was coming, and very much upset at the same time.
It had been a long time since Benjamin had appeared in front of her, and now he appeared for that woman!
What was the magic of that woman? What made Benjamin go round and round for her?
And she’d already heard from Jason that Benjamin was taking the woman to the X Institute!
X Institute!
That place was Benjamin’s last stronghold!
Even she had never been brought in by Benjamin!
On what basis? Why should that woman be taken in by Benjamin!
She was not resigned!
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became in her heart, wishing she could rush to Ruby’s face right now and tear her apart with her own hands!
But she knew that she couldn’t.
If she dared to do anything to Ruby, Benjamin would not let her go, absolutely not.
With this in mind, her eyes gaze and she went to the airport, wanting to meet Benjamin in advance.
……
When Benjamin got off the plane and saw Hallie at the pick-up gate, his face immediately sank.
“What brings you here?” At that moment, he asked, his tone very harsh and dripping with displeasure.
The smile Hallie had just raised froze for a moment, barely holding herself together to keep from changing her face, and continued to put on a smile as she stepped forward.
“I heard that you’ve come to Y Country, so I came to pick you up. Why do you still have a blank face and don’t even give me a smile ……”
She pretended to be pouting and was about to take Benjamin’s arm as she spoke.
Yet Benjamin quickly withdrew his hand as if it had been touched by something dirty, and at the same time dusted off his cuffs.
“I’m here on important business, I won’t inform you of what I’m going to do, if I want to see you I’ll tell you in advance. All you have to do is stay motionless, don’t you understand?”
Benjamin’s eyes were cold, and those eyes looked at her through the mask with such sharpness that they inexplicably sent some chills down Hallie’s spine.
Such treatment was something she had not expected, a pang of resentment in her heart as Benjamin treated her with such coldness and such rejection.
Although she dared not disobey him, Hallie was not willing to just go back, so she took out her womanly skills – pampering.
“I know, but I miss you. Benjamin, I just wanted to come over and see you, after all, we haven’t seen each other for so long …… But what’s wrong with your face? Why are you wearing a mask?”
At that moment, she reached out her hand to touch the mask, but Benjamin dodged it in a flash.
“I say again, get out of the way when you’re not told to show up!”
