Chapter 1598: Fate Beyond Measure Selena's few words caused a collective jump in the eyelids of everyone from Central City present. Robert's gaze darkened as he focused on Osvaldo sitting beside Selena.
It was this man who had personally escorted Selena all the way to today. If not for him, they would have received news of her much earlier. They could have acted to eliminate her at her most vulnerable, but because of this man's intervention, she had steadily climbed to her current heights, becoming the daughter of the Turner family, the director of the H Country Research Institute, and the super genius of Lab 717.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis man's interference also meant they never had the opportunity to openly target her. Moreover, in the past year, he had caused quite a bit of trouble for Lillian in the Empire. Initially, they believed it was retaliation for the failed assassination attempt.
Now, it seemed that everything he did was to conceal Selena's existence.
Even Lillian and Robert couldn't have anticipated that Selena would have a connection with him. According to their relationship, Osvaldo should have eliminated her the moment he learned her true identity. But he didn't. Instead, this man not only refrained from targeting Selena, but he also supported and protected her, leading her all the way to this height.
This was why Robert had to take extrmeasures, even resorting to killing Selena in H Country. Once Selena returned to the Empire, her beautiful face alone would have caused trouble, and with this man by her side, they would have had to tread carefully.
Why was this monarch so fortunate? Back in the Empire, Stanley had protected her meticulously. After much effort, they managed to kill her, only for her to inexplicably becsomeone else, someone with the sface. Not only that, she had becthe wife of the Night Emperor, the ruler of the Union.
Even according to Robert's astute mind, learning this information had left him laughing in disbelief. Was this monarch truly so favored by fate? Robert surveyed Osvaldo's opening and found that the expressions of the others from Central City were somewhat alarmed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTheir focus had all been on the "Sacred Pearl.” No one anticipated that Selena would pose such a question.
Once they regained their senses, the people from Central City instantly perceived the deadly nature of this question.
The status of the Anderson family young master in the Imperial City was self-evident. Mishandling this question would strain the relationship between Central City and the Imperial City. Despite Central City not fearing a confrontation, strictly speaking, they were not on the right side.
Osvaldo was Selena's husband, and it was only natural for Selena to seek justice for him. If they couldn't provide a reasonable explanation and ended up causing a rift between the two parties, Central City would find itself in a precarious situation.
In the midst of silence, Robert calmly stated, "The ‘Sacred Pearl’ was indeed stolen, and considering this incident occurred due to Central City's negligence, Central City will definitely provide you with a satisfactory explanation!" With that said, Robert's tone suddenly changed, and he looked at Osvaldo with a smile, "However, | am quite curious. Why would those ruthless criminals target Mr. Anderson? Does Mr. Anderson have any special connection to our Central City? Otherwise, why would the assailants not hesitate to ‘steal the Sacred Pearl and eliminate you?!"
