Chapter 680 The Real Goal! Patrick coughed lightly and calmly but said, "After you find her, it's best to bury the existence of the ruby completely in Creephia.
Most likely, it was brought back by that man..." Within the capital, they still have confidence in dealing with it internally.
Osvaldo watched personally, and those aristocratic families dared not make any moves in public and could only do small things behind the scenes. But once it involved those people from back then and Selena’s situation, it would be far more dangerous than itis now.
After all, even the prestigious Turner family was destroyed in that catastrophe. They all understood that although Selena's background was only vaguely known at the moment, it would not remain a secret for long after the Creephia University incident.
No one could guarantee that if Selena returned to the capital in the future as Lady Nevaeh and that man's daughter, with that mysterious ruby, whether she would encounter a similar disaster.
Patrick's intention was clear. Anyone who had seen the ruby and was connected to the power in the capital must disappear completely.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese men were not good people to begin with, and if it involved Selena's life and safety, they would be even more ruthless than anyone else.
Osvaldo's eyes narrowed, and he hung up the phone, stepped on the brakes, and ran into the hotel as as possible.
Inside the hotel room, just as the knife was about to plunge into Selena's heart, a slender hand grabbed Isabel's wrist.
Isabel's sharp and hoarse laughter cto an abrupt end.
Selena coldly looked down at her and mocked her, "The bodyguards were hit because Christ had them protecting you. This trick not only kills those who protect you, but it won't work on those who dislike you!" With a sudden force, Selena caused intense pain in Isabel's wrist, causing her to scream, and the knife fell into Selena's hand.
The next second, Selena held the knife to Isabel's neck. The cold blade still had a hint of a bloody smell and was close to her throat. With just a light stroke, it could cut her throat and cause fresh blood to pour out.
Isabel's face turned pale, and she struggled violently, "No no no! Don't kill me! Help me! Please help me!!" Selena sneered, turned her head to a certain direction in the room, with a cold tone and a hint of ridicule, "As expected, they are all families who can't show their faces in public, and they actually partnered with such a foolish person..." With Selena's words, seven or eight people walked out from various corners of the room.
Leia stood in front of Selena at the first time, holding the lucky cat and staring at them with a murderous look.
The man in charge wore an exaggerated fox mask, and his hairstyle and dress were particularly wild. He stared at Selena and sounded like a curious young boy, "Why are you okay?" Incense was lit in the room, and normal people who inhaled it would fall into a deep coma within three minutes.
But they had been waiting for so long, and both Selena and Leia, who was protecting her, stood there perfectly fine.
This obviously made the man particularly puzzled.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Selena's eyes, and she laughed lightly, "Before taking the job, don't you investigate my information? To the champion of the national fragrance industry, using aphrodisiacs is really stupid!" The man with the fox mask stared at her, his eyes cold, and lifted his lips slowly, "I see. Although you are very smart, unfortunately, you guessed wrong about one thing..." Selena looked directly into his eyes and thought of something. Her heart tightened slightly, her body tensed up, but her smile on her face grew even wider, "Oh?" "My target is not you," the man said with a cold smile, and a hint of excitement showed in the curve of his lips outside the mask, "I never lay a hand on beautiful women." He took a slow step forward, showing a mischievous grin, "I chere just because | heard that you are important to him..." Selena's guess bectrue, and her gaze turned cold, "Believe me--" Her smile was charming, "If you really touch him, no matter who you are, where you cfrom, even if you escape to the ends of the earth... there's only one dead end waiting for you!" After speaking, Selena turned to Leia, "Leia, call your young master and ask where he is now!" This tshe was really wrong.
She didn't expect their target was not her, but to use her as bait to kill Osvaldo.
It makes sense.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead of killing her and waiting for Osvaldo to retaliate fearfully, it is better to solve him once and for all.
Can she still run away as a "weak" woman if Osvaldo is not around? They are not afraid to die with such a big backing behind them! Leia's face was extremely cold.
Despite Selena's nervousness, she isn't really worried about Osvaldo.
After all, there have been countless assassination attempts against Osvaldo over the years that Selena knows nothing about, and nobody has ever gotten close to him.
Around Osvaldo, there are plenty of people who would take a bullet or a knife for him.
Seeing Selena so worried, Leia took out a special communicator from her pocket, ready to call Osvaldo.
In order to resolve the situation quickly, Selena left her phone in the car before approaching, so she is the only one with a phone right now.
Leia was about to dial the number when a young man wearing a fox mask walked up to Selena, raised the knife in his hand, and pointed it at Selena's forehead. His cold eyes showed a hint of amusement as he said, "Don't bother calling him, he's already here..." With just this one action, Leia's attempt to call Osvaldo was immediately halted, and the killer was now focused on the young man. After all, compared to the unseen Osvaldo, Selena could be killed with just a slight movement from this young man.
Selena's palms were sweating, but her mind was incredibly calm. "What else have you done?" she asked.
The young man smiled, his eyes revealing a dangerous intent, and he lowered his knife by an inch. "We didn't do much, just left two people at the airport to tell him that you were in danger..." "He cto Creephia University early this morning, but for sreason, he stopped at the airport and wouldn't leave. When we went to grab this trash," the young man glanced at Isabel, who had a frozen expression, "we deliberately left two people and two corpses behind. Sure enough, he lost his composure and cchasing after us alone..." As the young man spoke, his gaze turned towards the lower floors.
Selena's eyes grew even colder as she followed his gaze. Outside the French windows, a tall and slender figure could be seen rapidly sprinting towards them.
