Of course, he was sure that she can't see it, but the question remained: Did she guess it based on other individuals she had seen in the past, or was it just a mere speculation?
On his command, at that time, the system had scanned Drishti and found the presence of an application of a special ability related to a particular system—Neolith Harem System.
'Show me the details.' Until the system was absent, Ryuk was also preparing for things from his side, but putting all those aside, he needed to know about this information first.

'!?'
A window popped in front of his eyes, showing the details of Neolith Harem System.
'Result was late but worth it, I guess,' a soft smile formed on Ryuk's face amidst this all frustrating situation where he can't find anything about Rakshasa Technique. Reason?
'Jenny must be very close to her.' His amusement was from the fact that five years ago, before him falling into a coma, he had made sure to make Bella become close to Jenny by manipulating Bella's weakness for his pheromones and Jenny's slave status being her helplessness.
He derived few conclusions from the data shown by System window:
First, Using System's ability, that host had tried to make Drishti Devereaux fall for him with the End result of his death at her hand.
Which Ryuk understood the reason being again this Woman's interest.
From all this time, he had understood the obsession this woman had with interesting things.
For a woman who could wage war against the whole Devereaux Family just to fulfill her interest in seating on the throne.
Can't she kill a person if she lost her interest in him?
Second, after his death, the soul of that host had possessed another body of an individual with the name Lin Feng.
Now, according to the system's usual methods, the host must have gotten a quest to conquer a target, which coincidentally turns out to be Bella.
And, coincidentally, Bella comes out to be in Jade Dominion, which is also the home of Meiyue also known as Jenny, his precious slave.
Of course, the last coincidence was a pre-planned one by him.
After all, can't lose track of someone whose grandma came knocking on his door just to kill him, can he?
Did he fear that Bella would fall for that guy?
Not at all.
One may think that people always move forward with time and forget the memories, which is true in a sense, but the brain never forgets scent, sound, and feel related to that person's presence.
More like a song that becomes linked with a particular individual in someone's life or a smell that reminds them of someone special.
At that time, by stimulating his own scent against Bella, he had already implanted the indelible memory inside her brain, which will be refreshed whenever she sees Jenny, who became her salvation to erase the scent of that perfume at that time, while now become a trigger to remind her of him.
A simple yet effective plan to ensure someone always remembers you: utilize scents, sounds, and moments instead of their own image.

[Host, These are the things available for remotely controlling artificial bodies]
'Which one should you recommend?' Ryuk was not going to read through the summary of each of those items when the system could do it itself and recommend a better one.
[Host, Mindlink Helm is able to provide you control, added with your mental strength, it will be a piece of cake ^_^]
'....'

thud
"Young Master!" Mia swiftly supported Ryuk as he lost balance while wearing a device like a full-face mask covering his whole head, slightly stumbling due to the intense pain assaulting his brain.
"I am fine..." Gesturing his hand to stop Mia from helping him, since he had only this night left to completely gain control over this thing he was wearing on his head.
From the outside, an onyx-black helmet, shining like glass with blue circuit lines present, glowed as if belonging to some very advanced civilization.
'It is taking a chunk of my focus,' Ryuk could feel his eyes blurring the moment he wore this helmet, let alone control the body which still needed to be repaired.
[Host, Fight! You can do it. Believe in yourself.]
'....' Hearing those words which were just confusing him even more, even after knowing that the system had its own consciousness, but slowly the openness between them was becoming even more friendly.
"Mia, morning is about to happen. How much more time will that body take?" Inquired Ryuk, understanding that time was moving fast and in twelve hours, he would be against someone, in front of whom a small mistake could cost him his life.
"Just two hours more. I will increase my speed," Mia spoke before hurriedly moving towards a huge chamber filled with several wires attached to that body, resembling Lucas Devereaux.
The whole room was filled with bubbling solutions, preservation jars filled with heads, hearts, and body parts of several races, with several energy lines filled with Ether seeming to lighten the whole place, which seemed nothing short of a scientific laboratory but more advanced than what Ryuk had seen in his old world.
Instead of marveling at the beauty of this place, Ryuk commanded once again, 'Activate this helmet.'
Beeeeeepp~
'Ugh, Come on, Damn it'
