"You go ahead and check it as fast as you can. Also, get ready and take me to the Marsh’s." Ruby looked somewhat grave and did not explain too much to Reggie, only instructing a few words in a cold voice.
Reggie did not ask too much, for fear that there would be any problems. After all, Matteo was a very powerful person, and the people he came into contact with were not ordinary people, so if there were any problems, he would not be able to get away with it.
Reggie left in a hurry.
Ruby rubbed her brow, her face still not looking too good.
Levi frowned, and couldn't help but ask, "What is the problem with Matteo?"
Ruby nodded, but when she saw Cara looking over, she was silent for a moment before speaking directly to Levi, "Have you ever heard of the Human Face Compulsion?"
As Levi was just about to answer, Cara's hand suddenly shook and the thermos she was holding fell to the ground.
Ruby looked at her reaction and thought for a moment before she spoke up and asked her, "Grandma, are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm old and my hands are shaking, you guys continue talking, I'm going back to bed." The old lady looked uncomfortable, and went straight back to her room without saying much to Ruby.
Ruby pursed her lips and looked at Cara’s back without speaking.
"What's wrong?" Levi noticed difference in Ruby's expression and could not help but glance in the direction Cara had left.
Ruby shook her head: "Nothing, I'm a bit tired, I'm going to rest. You can go back to your house home and sleep tonight."
Ruby did not give Levi a chance to react after she finished speaking, and left him directly, going back to her room and closing the door behind her.
Levi always felt that Ruby's reaction was not normal, especially after she had mentioned Human Face Compulsion, Cara had dropped the thermos.
Levi stood for a while before going back to his house.
Kevin was still awake, sitting on the sofa in the living room playing a game. When he saw Levi entering, he directly dropped his phone and smiled as he padded over, "Brother-in-law, why aren't you sleeping with my sister tonight?"
Levi glanced at him lightly, "Didn’t your sister say that it is time for you to go back to the capital? It should be tomorrow, I guess, I'll see you off myself tomorrow."
"No, brother-in-law." Kevin was dumbfounded, looking at Levi.
"Still not go to bed? Is it because you want me to send you back now?" Levi gave him a cold, slanted glance.
Kevin had the feeling that he had been innocently implicated. He did not dare to talk any more nonsense, believing that Levi was really a man of his word, so he turned around and went to his room.
Levi couldn't help but smile and shook his head before going back to his room.
The next morning, Reggie came over, his face not looking too good, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked Ruby for a glass of water.
He hadn't slept all night and looked very haggard at the moment, with black circles under his eyes. After he drank the water, he looked at Ruby, "Miss Harold, something bad has happened."
"What has happened?" Ruby looked at Reggie's reaction and had a not-so-good feeling in her heart.
"Mr. Marsh had met with several chiefs and had dinner together. I checked it out yesterday and I wanted to come here early in the morning to tell you about this, but I didn't expect to get the news in the morning that several of chiefs who met with Mr. Marsh were in trouble, and now they are in the hospital, unconscious, and their vital signs have disappeared. " Reggie's voice was tinged with trembling as he finished his sentence before he looked pleadingly at Ruby.
