"Biogenetic technology, unless I can get Miss Turner's genetic code, no one can unlock the final step of 'Sacred Pearl'," Lindsay originally wanted to say "Your Majesty", but suddenly remembered Selena's current identity and changed her words carefully.
Almost as soon as Lindsay finished speaking, Robert suddenly raised his hand and held a gun in it.
The gun was aimed at Selena and he was about to pull the trigger. However, Osvaldo on the opposite side quickly threw a knife.
The sharp tip of the knife accurately pierced Robert's palm, knocking off his gun.
At almost the same moment, everyone in the courtroom rushed forward and pointed their guns at Lindsay and Robert.
People in central city also aimed their weapons at Selena and Osvaldo simultaneously.
The atmosphere froze instantly. Everyone looked at this tense scene without daring to breathe heavily.
In dead silence, Selena let out a light laugh. She elegantly leaned back and looked at Lindsay. "You lost."
Lindsay lowered her eyelids and was convinced, "In this field, Jin Yu and I... Always one step behind you."
Selena smiled. "Good."
Then, suddenly, she raised her gun, pointed it at Robert, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
Bang, bang, bang --
After four consecutive snatches, Robert's limbs went limp and bloody.
The people in the city center instinctively reached for their guns, but were suddenly hit by bullets coming from outside the window, striking them fatally.
With no one to stop her, the members of the court rushed forward and caught Robert and Lindsay.
In an instant, only the old researcher remained in the city center, sitting there bewildered.
Everyone looked on in horror at Selena's face filled with murderous intent. Their hearts jumped to their throats.
Robert was a member of the city center too. And yet Selena had killed him... H Country would get into big trouble because of this!
But looking at Selena's dark and cold eyes, no one dared to speak up against her at this moment. No one dared!
As they watched that imposing woman with her eyes full of killing intent, they felt a shiver run down their spines from deep within their souls.
Even though he was badly injured and disheveled, Robert still stood tall with his back straight as he looked at Selena and smiled. "Killing me won't do you any good."
Selena looked at his cold expression and suddenly laughed softly before calmly handing over her gun to Leia who stood beside her.
Taking the handkerchief she handed him, Robert wiped his hands clean while keeping his guard up. He knew what kind of person she was; she wouldn't resort to simple methods!
Looking down on him from above with a mocking smile on her lips, Selena said: "Lillian is your faith - your most treasured person - for whom you're willing to bear such heavy guilt... But I wonder how far she'll go for you?"
Robert suddenly realized what Selena was about to do, and all the calm on his face was shattered in an instant. "No! You'll kill me! Kill me!!"
How could he tolerate witnessing the failure and humiliation of the one he considered his faith?
He even bowed down to Selena for him...
Selena looked at him with satisfaction as she watched his expression crumble. "I will let your master redeem you personally!"
Robert glared at Selena resentfully.
But Selena ignored him, waving her hand as the members of the court instantly put special restraints on Robert.
Her gaze then fell upon Lindsay.
He turned his gaze towards Oscar. "Mr. Turner, this matter is indeed not right for Central City; I promise that after Central City has dealt with it properly, we will give H country a satisfactory explanation."
"But whether it's Mr. Hall or Miss Hall, their status in Central City is unique."
"Central City will never sit idly by and let them die here--"
"Please persuade Miss Turner to spare them; I can guarantee that Central City's compensation will definitely satisfy Miss Turner!"
Oscar glanced at Selena and said lightly: "They failed this time but there will be another time."
"The Turner family has no reason to forgive those who openly kill our daughter!"
Mr. Mccoy choked up because even he could not guarantee that Robert or Lindsay would not try again on Selena next time around."
Under duress, Mr. McCoy could only maintain a strong stance. "Have you all thought this through? Mr. Hall is the deputy official of our central city administration, and Miss Hall is the owner of Lab 717!"
"If they die here, are you sure you can handle the retaliation from both Central City and Lab 717?!" The scene fell silent.
But perhaps because they were used to Selena's strategic brilliance and knew that she never fought without certainty, even though they knew that Mr. McCoy had a point, no one spoke up to persuade Selena.
Come on! Just for someone who looks like the deceased queen of Riddle Group's empire, they openly killed their research institute director. Even someone with a good temper would be angered by this.
Let alone asking Selena to swallow this bitter fruit in silence.
No one had such courage.
Selena's lips curved slightly. "Professor McCoy, you're wrong."
Mr. McCoy reluctantly turned his gaze back to Selena...
