The white fox quickly brought back the news.

Disguised as Pearl and using the reason of working for Count Ravenwood, she infiltrated Lady's villa. However, the outcome was not optimistic; Lady, claiming to be unwell, did not meet her in person and instead sent Xila to receive her.

"Boss, do you think it's possible that Lady did not return to the country as you suspected, but instead had Xila stage a deception to confuse us, so she could plan a counterattack?"

Freya furrowed her brows and said, "It's not impossible. Lady is cunning, and over the years, my master had long known about her ambitions but couldn't find a reason to condemn her, so she's been left alone until now."

"What should we do now?" the white fox asked.

Freya's mind was in disarray. She had prepared everything, waiting for Lady to take the bait. Who would have thought she had slipped away unnoticed.

At this point, it seemed that the plan might fall through.

"Bradley is coming soon; I'll discuss a plan to remedy the situation with him!" At this moment, she had no idea where Lady had gone or what she was plotting in secret.

At this point, being too hasty will only give the enemy a chance to counterattack.

Therefore, what she can do now is wait!

Wait for Bradley to arrive.

Wait for news from the Shadow.

And wait for Lady to show her true colors!

"Alright, I'll send more people to keep an eye on Lady's residence, and report to you anytime there's any movement." After White Fox finished speaking, she hurriedly left.

She didn't believe she wouldn't be able to catch Lady's weakness!

Once White Fox left, Freya lowered her eyes to look at her watch. It was time to go to give acupuncture to Count Ravenwood, and she could take this opportunity to test Ravenwood's loyalty.

Although Ravenwood had returned to stand by his master's side, she couldn't be sure if he would switch sides again.

After all, his relationship with Lady was unusual, and with her expertise in poison, who knows if there might be other variables.

Worried that Bradley may not be able to find himself, Freya sent him a text message before quickly tidying up the medicine box and leaving the palace.

By the time they arrived at the Earl's Manor, it was already twenty-five minutes later.

Following the house servants to the whereabouts of Ravenwood, they crossed a corridor and stepped onto a cobblestone path. Freya saw Earl Ravenwood sitting by the lake feeding fish from a distance.

After the servant announced their arrival, Ravenwood put down the fish feed and walked towards Freya.

"Dr. Jane is here half an hour early, is there something you want to discuss with me?" asked Ravenwood as he approached Freya.

"Yes, there are some things I would like to ask the Earl about," Freya nodded.

"Alright, let's go to the pavilion up ahead," said Ravenwood, instructing the servants to prepare tea.

As they arrived at the pavilion, Freya took Ravenwood's pulse. The pulse was much steadier compared to before, but the toxicity could still flare up at any moment if not addressed.

"The Earl's complexion has improved, but how often have the toxic episodes been occurring recently?" Acupuncture only temporarily controls the toxic episodes and cannot effectively remove the beastly poison from the body.

Therefore, they would have to wait for the antidote to be developed before true liberation could be achieved.

Ravenwood picked up a cup of hot tea and took a sip, saying, "These days haven't been too bad, even though there's some pain, I can bear it." In the past, once it struck, his whole body felt like insects gnawing at his bones, the pain was unbearable. But now this pain seems trivial, he can endure it completely. "The antidote is already in development, we should have results soon," Freya said. There was an antidote for the Beastly Venom before, but now the venom has mutated, the previous antidote is not effective, so they have to research it again. However, Dr. Rob was very knowledgeable about the Beastly Venom from his work with him, so finding a cure shouldn't be difficult. "I believe in Dr. Jane's medical skills!" After Ravenwood finished speaking, he dismissed everyone around him and went straight to the point, asking, "Tell me, why did you come to the southern country today?" Freya also didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Lady has returned to her country, have you been in touch with the Earl?" This time Lady returned home mainly because of the news sent out by Ravenwood, saying that Queen Sally was seriously ill.

Therefore, Freya thought that the two of them should stay in touch.

"She returned to her country?" Ravenwood exclaimed, "After I contacted her, she did say she was returning to her country immediately, but she hasn't contacted me since then. If it wasn't for Solterra's mention later, I wouldn't have known Lady had returned."

Upon hearing this, Freya furrowed her brows deeply.

So, according to this, Lady hasn't contacted Ravenwood since she returned?

This is very unusual.

After pondering for a moment, Freya softly said, "I suspect that the person who returned this time is not Lady. She most likely already knew this was a setup, so she casually found someone to pretend to be her and is preparing to counterattack."

"Count, please contact Mrs. Lady again now and make sure of her current whereabouts!"

Ravenwood frowned. With Lady's suspicious nature, returning to her country without contacting him, not returning to her residence, indeed seems off.

He nodded, "Okay, I will contact her now."

To let Freya hear their conversation, Ravenwood turned on the speaker.

After several "beep beep beep" sounds from the phone, a pleasant and charming female voice finally came through, "Ravenwood, what's up?"

Ravenwood turned to look at Freya, and after receiving her eye signal, she spoke, "Have you returned to the country? I'm afraid Sally won't last much longer."

"If she can't last, it's better to die early. I can't be bothered to see her ugly death face," Lady's voice was indifferent.

Freya carefully considered her words, but suddenly heard a strong gust of wind.

It seemed that Lady was outside at the moment.

Freya took a pen, wrote a sentence on paper, and handed it to Ravenwood.

Understanding her meaning, Ravenwood said, "Once Sally dies, you will be the queen of the Holy Rock Kingdom. If you don't show up, what will others think of you? Alright, let's not talk about this. Are you at the villa? I'll come find you now."

There was silence for a while, only sporadic sounds of wind could be heard.

After a while, Lady finally spoke, "I have returned to the country, but not at the villa. You don't need to come."

Not in the villa...

So the woman who got off the plane, is not Lady at all?

Freya narrowed his eyes coldly, signaling Ravenwood to find a way to lure out Lady.

Currently, the enemy is in the dark, while they are in the light, a direct confrontation would clearly put them at a disadvantage.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, don't you miss me?" Ravenwood suppressed the disgust in her chest and said this with a sense of dread.

Then came the joyful laughter of Lady through the speaker, "I do miss you, but now is not the time to meet."
