RedNovelChapter 335 Nolan wasted no tsharing the m matter with Eliza.
He avoided mentioning Fletcher and Isabelle, instead referring to "those from the other race" to keep Eliza alert.
"That reminds me. Gilbert once brought another one of them to see me," Eliza said, stroking her chin thoughtfully.
"Who was it?" Nolan's gaze sharpened as he turned to her.

"What do you think of him?" Nolan asked after a brief pause.
Eliza answered, I think he was being honest about that, but I can't say for sure beyond that." Both Rocco and Gilbert had been poisoned and controlled by Zoie. Eliza had personally verified it, leaving no room for doubt.
Now, if they wanted to be cured, they had no choice but to rely on Eliza. That made it unlikely Rocco would lie to Eliza. Besides, what he kaid about Zoie's actions against Eliza's mother lined up with other things Eliza knew.
Eliza also explained the details of the poison in their bodies to Nolan.
Nolan, already aware Gilbert had been under Zoie's control, nodded when he learned Rocco was in the ssituation.
"Still, you've got to be careful," Nolan said, his voice turning serious, "Gilbert might not be a big problem. He's half-blood, not truly one of them. If he's been under Zole's control since childhood, he might not pose much of a threat. But Rocco? You need to watch out for him. If they show up again, don't let your guard down Before leaving. Nolan gave Eliza a serious reminder, his concern evident in his tone.
Eliza nodded firmly, appreciating his care. "Don't worry. I'll handle it." After Nolan left, Eliza's face turned serious as she stepped directly into the pocket farm within her pendant. Inside, the venomous bugs she had been nurturing were still crawling around.
She summoned Gilbert's Soul Centipede, Simba, a massive and deadly creature. The thing already knew about her pocket farm, so she couldn't afford any mishaps.
Eliza then drenched Simba with the magical water and her specially crafted potion, giving it a thorough boost. Ouly after confirming that the centipede was completely under her control, with no chance of rebellion, did she finally feel at ease.

Gilbert, hiding inside, suddenly felt a sharp jolt in his chest as if his heart had skipped a beat.
Rocco, watching the searchers outside, turned back and noticed Gilbert's unusual expression "What's going on?" he asked immediately Gilbert shook his head. "Nothing. Just felt my heart skip a beat a moment ago It felt like something was slipping away from him.
But at the stime, it didn seem quite right. Why did he suddenly feel so... at case? Did someone do something to Rocco studied hun for a moment, narrowing his eyes.

"All talk and no action? What do you mean by that?" said said Gilbert, frowning slightly Rocco, she just saved your life. What are you trying to say?"
Rocco woofed. “I know the unved me. But don't forget, Lose did the sthing-saved us first then controlled then-Controlled us, Gibert, don't let these Bortenland people fool you, especially women. Their beauty always hides venom." It was clear Rocco believed Eliza was no different from Zole. Even though Eliza had saved his life, he still didn't trust Gilbert, however, remained calm. "I get what you're saying, Rocco, but I trust my judgment." Rocco stared at him momentarily, then let out a dry laugh. “Suit yourself.
