She owes him too much.
"Stop, make all of them stop!" Ravel suddenly grabbed the collar of his subordinate and roared.
The subordinate turned pale with fright and hurriedly contacted his companions to stop the interrogation of the captives.
Ravel's heart was beating like a drum as he walked. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at the dazzling scenery outside the window, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.
Is Lacey really still alive?
At that time, he had hurriedly escaped from the pursuit. Whether Lacey was dead or alive, he had only heard about it from others. The situation was too urgent and he didn't even have the chance to find Lacey's body. Although he had sent people to search the explosion site, they couldn't find anything other than the traces of the explosion. It was obvious that someone had cleaned it up.
Why didn't he think of the possibility that Lacey was still alive? Because of his first impression, he had erased the possibility that Lacey was still alive. He had only wanted to take revenge, but now it seemed that he had been negligent.
But if she was really still alive and was now working for the J Organisation, something must have happened that he didn't know about.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. He fidgeted with his hair and pulled off his tie to let himself get some fresh air.
No matter what, it was good that she was still alive. Everything else could be put aside. As long as she was still alive, there was hope.
Ravel came to another stronghold with a feeling of excitement and anxiety. The sealed room was filled with the damp smell of rust and the strong smell of blood. This made Ravel frown and his steps subconsciously quickened.
These bastards, he was already mixed up and couldn't be tortured anymore. What else did they do to Lacey?
"Your Highness, you're here." The person in charge of the stronghold quickly came forward to welcome him, but Ravel walked past him and asked coldly, "What's the situation now? How are the captives? "
"These people are very stubborn and won't tell us the truth even if they die. We're a little helpless now …"
"Who asked you this?" Ravel said impatiently.
He only wanted to know if Lacey was okay.
"Is it here?" Ravel stood at the door and asked the person in charge beside him.
"Yes, the three people from the J Organisation are inside."
Ravel didn't open the door immediately. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and pushing the door open.
A familiar petite figure was curled up. That pair of emerald eyes were too unique and hard to ignore. However, the coldness and vigilance in those eyes made people retreat three feet away.
Ravel walked in surrounded by his subordinates and looked down at the woman whose hands and feet were tied.
They were too alike, almost carved from the same mold. Other than her unfriendly attitude, Ravel couldn't find any difference between this woman and Lacey. He had thought that this woman was a substitute, but now he dismissed the idea. Even if she could change her appearance, it was difficult to imitate her temperament.
Not many people could pretend to be an enigma like Lacey.
He half-squatted on the ground and reached out to pinch the other party's chin. He looked left and right and muttered, "You really look alike. What's your name?"
"Lacey." Teresa looked at the handsome man in front of her and answered calmly.
Ravel's breathing stagnated. He paused and then asked, "You're called Lacey? Then do you know my name? "
"You're His Highness Ravel from the J Country. You're also one of the forces that attacked our organization." Teresa continued to answer.
Ravel's eyebrows twitched and his heart sank. He said, "Is that all you know about me? Lacey, what are you playing at? I'm back now, and you've fallen into my hands again. There's no need to hide anymore. "
Teresa's emerald eyes were filled with suspicion and vigilance. Her voice was cold. "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Have you forgotten me?" Ravel suddenly thought of a very melodramatic word, amnesia.
He Shaochen's temporary amnesia had tormented Lilith quite a bit. Now it was Lacey's turn to torment him with amnesia? What did the Charlie Royal Family do in their previous life to deserve such retribution? His voice was calm. "Other than the title of His Highness Ravel, who am I to you? Hmm? "
Teresa looked at him calmly and spat out two words, one at a time. "Enemy!"
"You've really lost your memory?" Ravel's face turned pale. He reached out and caressed her delicate cheeks. He squeezed out word by word from between his teeth. "Or have you been brainwashed by those people?"
He felt that Lacey looked a little strange.
Her next words confirmed his guess. "I've not been brainwashed. I'm willing to be loyal to the organization. You can kill me or cut me up as you wish. There's no need to say such ambiguous words here. If you want to know the secrets of the J Organisation, don't even think about it!"
Ravel did not say anything and directly lifted Teresa up and put her on his shoulder. Everyone was shocked by his actions. One of the subordinates stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"This girl has been brainwashed. Doesn't the Holy Glory Palace have an even more powerful hypnotist?"
"Are you planning to …"
Ravel did not waste any more words with that person. He carried Teresa out of the torture chamber. The other two members of the organization who had been captured looked at each other. That night, they committed suicide.

"Lacey?" Qiao Qiao looked at Lacey who was carried back by Ravel and cried out in surprise. She walked over. "Why are you …"
Before she could get close, Adam stood in front of her. His dark red eyes stared at Teresa warily. "Lilith, this woman's eyes are filled with murderous intent. She's not the Lacey you know."
He raised his head and looked at Ravel. He asked, "I remember that Lacey died together with those people to protect you, right? Why did she suddenly appear here? "
"Because she's not dead!" Ravel looked at Teresa. Seeing her cold eyes that doubted everything, he frowned and said, "She's probably been brainwashed by the people from the J Organisation. Or she's been instilled with strange things in her mind. Your hypnotism is very powerful, so I want to ask you to help her return to her original state."
"If it's really because of hypnotism that caused her to become like this, then I can help you." Adam lowered his eyes and looked at Teresa. He ordered his subordinates, "Look after this woman. Inject her with the hallucinogen first."
"Yes!"
Those people were just about to take Teresa away when Ravel stopped them. He looked at Teresa deeply and said calmly, "Be careful with the dosage. Don't hurt her."
A strange look flashed across Teresa's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Her eyes turned into a pool of stagnant water, and she allowed those people to take her away.
Ravel adjusted his mood, then looked at Qiao Qiao. He put on a bright smile and asked, "Lilith, how are you and Mr. He? Why aren't you together? "
At the mention of He Shaochen, Qiao Qiao's eyes dimmed. She opened her mouth and said bitterly, "He seems to be really angry with me. He returned to Country A early this morning."
After all, she didn't do a good job in this matter. It was normal for him to be angry.
However, when she thought about how he didn't even say goodbye to her when he left this morning, Qiao Qiao still felt very sad.
Even if it was a very willful request, she still hoped that he could stay by her side.
However, it was probably impossible.
Ravel noticed the dimness in Qiao Qiao's eyes and realized that he had said something wrong. He laughed dryly and changed the topic. "The inducing agent can't be delayed any longer. In a few days, Lilith's illness will act up again. We have to speed up."
Adam nodded. "According to the plan, the people in the J Organisation are still putting pressure on Phillips. Let's add fuel to the fire. In a few days, he will be forced into a corner, and then our chance will come."
"Well, as long as we get the inducing agent, we won't have to choose between the child and Lilith …" Ravel walked up to Qiao Qiao and patted her shoulder. "When the time comes, Mr. He won't be angry with you anymore."
"Okay." Qiao Qiao could only pin her hopes on that now.
She looked at Adam and Ravel gratefully and said, "Thank you. The child in my belly and I are very grateful for what you have done. In the future, as long as it's within my power, please don't hesitate to ask. I'll do my best to help you."
"Haha, we're all family. You don't have to be so polite. Besides, I don't want my little nephews to die in the womb." Ravel laughed and turned to wave at them. "I'll go and take a look at Lacey."
Adam also said, "No matter why His Highness Ravel is helping you, I'll always be on your side. Lilith, don't feel pressured."
Qiao Qiao sniffed.
The first person she felt the most sorry for was He Shaochen, and the second person was Adam.
No matter how she hurt his heart, only this person would always be on her side unconditionally without any complaints or regrets. Even He Shaochen would be angry with her, treat her coldly, and leave without saying goodbye to show his dissatisfaction. However, only Adam would never do anything to hurt her.
This person was too good.
