Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 1599: Do You Know What You're Saying? Osvaldo's gaze turned cold, seemingly ignoring Robert's question. He gently stroked Selena'’s long hair, evidently entrusting everything to his wife.

Selena, appreciating the man's thoughtfulness, turned to him with a gentle smile before addressing Robert, "Shouldn't this question be directed at Central City? Central City's people traveled a great distance to steal the ‘Sacred Pearl," attempting to kill my fiancé. Instead of demanding answers from the victims, shouldn't you be held accountable?" Selena continued with a sarcastic smile, "Publicly killing an H Country mechanic, treating the victim as guilty... Central City's current style is truly eye-opening!" Robert's eyes suddenly grew cold. He couldn't tolerate anyone insulting Lillian, especially someone like Selena. Just as Robert was about to retaliate, Selena leaned elegantly into Osvaldo's embrace, her tone sounding nonchalant, "Do we H Country people appear easily fooled? If you can't provide the culprit and reasons for Central City's attempt on my fiancé's life today, then we're sorry! The ‘Sacred Pearl’ cannot be returned!" Under the alarmed gazes of the Central City group, Selena slowly added, "After all, who can guarantee that Central City won't stage another 'theft’ this time? The last time, my fiancé survived by pure luck. Who's to say we'll be so fortunate next time? | won't risk my fiancé's safety. So, until you provide a satisfactory explanation, the ownership of the ‘Sacred Pearl’ is temporarily on hold!" A hushed silence filled the room. Diana, upon hearing Selena's words, trembled with anger. If she couldn't get the ‘Sacred Pearl today, she wouldn't be able to kill Selena. Without Selena's death, she would be useless to Central City, and she would have to return as a prisoner.

Diana looked at Lindsay with a hopeful expression. However, Lindsay wasn't adept at negotiations, especially when it cto Selena. Out of awe, she wouldn't intervene in this matter. Hence, she sat there motionless.

The ‘owner’ of the "Sacred Pearl’ remained silent, leaving others without a reason. People from Central City, anxious like ants on a hot pan, turned to Robert for help.

On the other hand, people from H Country gazed at Selena with a worshipping look. This young lady never failed to impress! Robert's eyes deepened. His attempt to threaten Osvaldo had backfired, and now Selena had seized the opportunity to turn the tables. Lillian had sent someone to kill Osvaldo because they had discovered he was the hidden emperor of the Union. To ensure nothing went wrong, she had handed over the "Sacred Pearl’ to her subordinates. However, they hadn't expected Selena to be in the Imperial City and, furthermore, to becromantically involved with this hidden emperor.

They failed to kill him and ended up delivering the ‘Sacred Pearl’ into Selena’s hands. If they didn't retrieve it today, once Selena returned to the Empire with the "Sacred Pearl,’ Lillian would be the one facing death.

Therefore, no matter what, the ‘Sacred Pearl’ had to be recovered. However, he couldn't reveal the real reason because there was no evidence. Uttering unfounded guesses would only give others leverage.

So, there was only one option left.

Robert looked at Selena, his gentle voice carrying a subtle and barely perceptible coldness, "Miss Turner, what do you have in mind?" On the negotiation table, this statement implied submission and surrender.

Selena smiled, her icy gaze landing on Robert's face, "Whatever | want, | suppose.” Robert smiled, "Miss Turner, feel free to state your demands. In this world, there's no price that Central City cannot afford.” Selena's eyes grew colder, "What if | want your life?" This statement instantly heightened the tension in the room. Everyone looked at Selena in astonishment. Although her tone was casual and she showed no signs of hostility on her face, those who knew the Institute Director understood that she never joked about serious matters. She truly wanted the life of this distinguished guest from Central City.

The researchers from Central City couldn't stay silent. "Mr. Turner, such jokes are not appropriate! Mr. Hall is the right-hand man of our ruling official in Central City. Even with Mr. Anderson's esteemed status, it's impossible to demand the life of someone from Central City!" It seemed Robert hadn't heard those objections. He continued to gaze quietly at Selena, "Miss Turner, if you have the capability, you're welcto try." He had already killed this monarch once. It was only normal for her to want his life. Lindsay, who had remained silent throughout, turned her head to look at Robert, still not uttering a word.

Selena chuckled, "With Mr. Hall's prior statement, | won't hold back then." The people from Central City were about to explode in anger when Selena casually added, "Don't forget, | learned this from your Central City. I'm just reciprocating. I've only spoken a few words, yet your people from Central City have already made a move in my H Country's territory.” All objections were instantly silenced, as they recalled that Beatrice had indeed openly killed the Turner family's young lady in H Country's territory. Selena was merely giving them a taste of their own medicine.

With this realization, the faces of all Central City representatives turned black in an instant. Mr. McCoy looked at Selena's face and sighed softly, "Miss Turner, Central City deeply regrets the ordeal your fiancé has gone through. However, regardless, the ‘Sacred Pearl’ belongs to Central City, and Miss Hall is present. We must reclaim the ‘Sacred Pearl." If you have any requests, feel free to state them." This statement already carried a hint of dominance. Central City did have the capital to do so. Selena chuckled lightly and turned to Osvaldo, "What do you like?" Osvaldo looked at the young girl's charming face, his thin lips slightly curved, "Anything?" Selena nodded earnestly, "Anything within Central City, if you want it, it's yours." This statement made the representatives of Central City extremely displeased. She was openly taking advantage of their demands, flaunting their possessions with a smile! However, Osvaldo was the victim, and since Selena wouldn't yield, they couldn't retrieve the ‘Sacred Pearl without resorting to force.

Robert and Mr. McCoy had just stated that if Selena made any demands, they would have to endure it, no matter how displeased they were.

Osvaldo's deep black eyes flashed with a gentle gleam, "I would like to make a request to the two members of the Riddle Group Empire. Is that acceptable?" The atmosphere in the room changed for everyone present. Except for Selena, who looked at Osvaldo with a determined expression, Robert squinted slightly, "Mr. Anderson, do you know what you're saying?"
