Reclaiming Her Heart

In his mind, his alter ego's voice asked, "What do you mean by specifically targeting high-IQ individuals?"

"People like that have stronger mental resilience, but after a few days of being tortured by this drug, they'll break down. In no more than ten days, they'll turn into raving lunatics. If it's that drug, it means someone from the research base has infiltrated Selena's circle."

A glint of light flashed in Christopher's alter ego's eyes, and a smirk appeared on his lips.

He could hear the darkness in Christopher's tone when he mentioned the research base.

It wasn't fear, but a deep-seated grudge, indicating that Christopher wanted revenge for everything he had endured at the research base.

"Tell them what I said."

"No way, Christopher. You and Raymond are both nuts. Do you really think I'd help you?"

Christopher's alter ego's voice carried a hint of smugness as he reached for a glass of water.

But before he could take a sip, Raymond slapped the glass out of his hand.

"Can't make heads or tails of it, and you're drinking? Water's not free, you know?" His tone was icy, his expression filled with hostility. "Keep watching."

Christopher's alter ego fell silent.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't beat Raymond in Silver Bay City, he would have killed him already.

He took a deep breath. "There's no saving her. This is most likely a drug from the research base, specifically designed for someone with Selena's mental resilience. At most, she can hold out for ten days before she becomes a raving lunatic. Only the person who administered the drug can reverse it. No one else has the capability. The research base is a gathering place for the world's medical geniuses. What they create, no single genius can undo."

"Then I'll take Selena for a check-up, analyze the remnants in her body, and you can formulate an antidote."

"Raymond, I told you, no single genius can undo it. Besides, there probably aren't any remnants left in her body. That's the terrifying part about those people. And most importantly, this drug isn't something just anyone at the research base can get their hands on. It has to be someone at a management level. Whoever's targeting you has some serious clout."

Raymond's face turned cold.

He was confident in making money through business or fighting in the ring, but he knew nothing about medicine. If even Christopher said there was no way, was there really no hope?

Seeing Raymond's grim expression, Christopher's alter ego felt a bit better.

"Whoever administered the drug, you need to take Selena to them. Otherwise, she'll just become a vegetable by your side. Can you bear that? Also, the damage from this drug can be repaired in the short term, but the longer it goes on, the less likely that becomes. It seems that man is waiting for you to compromise."

As soon as he finished speaking, Raymond pointed a gun at his forehead. "Christopher, wasn't it that man who handed Selena over to you? Didn't you see his face?" Christopher's alter ego shrugged indifferently. "You can kill me, but I don't know what he looks like. He was wearing a mask."

The doorbell rang from outside the living room. Victor had arrived.

Raymond quickly had someone open the door.

Victor was still in his uniform, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

"Raymond, what's going on?" he asked.

Raymond quickly explained Selena's symptoms and then asked, "Can you stop the pain?"

Victor's gaze shifted to Christopher. "You said it's something from the research base?"

"Yes."

"Raymond, then there's nothing I can do. I could make her pass out, but if it's a drug from that place, even unconscious, she'd still be tormented by nightmares."

In other words, the drug was incurable.

Just one drug, and Christopher's alter ego realized the power of the research base.noveldrama

The underground fighting ring had never seen such a potent drug. The research base

was clearly a level above the underground fighting ring.

It was a gathering place for all geniuses, and no one knew what else they were researching.

Raymond's face darkened, and he stopped talking, quietly holding Selena in his arms.

He finally understood why K had been so quiet these past few days. K knew he would compromise.

He couldn't stand by and watch Selena be tortured into a vegetable.

So, in the end, Selena would still go back to K.

Raymond held her tightly and said hoarsely, "I understand."
