Kendra stood under the eaves. "Ms. Louise, what happened to Mr. Ryker?"
"I don't know," Emmeline answered. "He said he had very urgent business."
"Urgent business?"
He looked so anxious earlier. Could it be that the poison is acting up again? Kendra thought.
Oh no! I guess Mr. Ryker didn't want Ms. Louise to see him go into the basement to take his ice bath. That's why he
drove away!
Kendra ran into the living room while yelling, "Luca! Luca!"
Luca came over when he heard someone call his name. "What's wrong?"
"Quick!" Kendra said in a low voice. "Mr. Ryker's poison is acting up again. He drove away in his car by himself."
Luca immediately took the keys to the bodyguards' car and ran out.
Luca drove the car along the hilly road. About a mile away, he saw the Rolls-Royce parked on the grass at the side

Luca quickly stopped the car and opened the door of the Rolls-Royce.
He saw Abel curled up into a ball, trying very hard to endure the pain.
He roared like a beast when he saw Luca. "Go away!"
"Mr. Abel! Are you okay?" Luca said.
"Go away! Don't worry about me!"
In the darkness, Abel's eyes were bloodshot like a devil's.
Luca could not help but shudder.
"Get… away from me," Abel said with much difficulty. "I might rip you apart!"
"But Mr. Abel…"
"Go away!" Abel shoved Luca away, which caused him to fall back onto the grass.
What should I do? I don't mind if you accidentally injure me, but I can't bear to see you in pain!
"Ahhh! Ahhh!" Abel screamed. He fell from the driver's seat and landed on the grass.
"Mr. Abel!" Luca got up and pounced at Abel, but Abel kicked him away.
Following that, Abel continued to roll on the grass while screaming his lungs out.
His cries of agony echoed in the night. Fortunately, there were no other cars on the road. Someone might have
imagined he was a monster.
As he screamed, he clawed himself, as though the pain would disappear after he ripped himself into pieces.
"Forgive me, Mr. Abel!"
Luca pounced onto Abel, hugged him tightly, and knocked him out with a blow to the back of his neck.
Abel grunted and stopped struggling.
Luca took off his necktie and tied Abel's hands. Then, he took off Abel's necktie and tied his ankles.
He dragged the unconscious Abel and placed him in the backseat of the bodyguards' car.
"Sleep for a bit, Mr. Abel. I'll bring you to Mr. Adelmar."

At Macsen Villa, Waylon had just finished his dinner. He was about to return to his laboratory when his phone rang.
The call was from Abel.
Waylon answered it. "Abel?"
"Mr. Adelmar, it's me, Luca," Luca said with the phone in one hand and the steering wheel in the other.
"Luca? What's wrong?" Waylon could tell that something bad had happened.
Waylon frowned. "Why didn't he take an ice bath in the basement?"
"Ms. Emmeline was around. Abel didn't want to frighten her, so he left in his car," Luca said.
"Sigh, that idiot," Waylon said. "I'll prepare the ice. Bring him here."
After the call ended, Waylon called Benjamin and asked him to bring a lot of ice to Macsen Villa.
The ice must be for Abel, but why is he at Macsen Villa?
He had no time for questions. After the call ended, he went to acquire ice.
In ten minutes, he and Eric drove a pickup truck full of ice toward Macsen Villa.
Abel woke up in the car. His eyes were bloodshot.
Usually, Luca would have been able to knock a person out for at least eight hours. The pain had woken Abel up.
"Uggh!" Abel growled. "Let me go!"
