Chapter 683 Were You Here the Whole Time? The man had one arm around her waist, holding her slender body tightly in his embrace.
In his other hand, he held a knife, cruelly piercing through the young man's chest.
A bullet, seemingly fired from nowhere, nailed into the handrail of the staircase, making a "ding" sound.
If Selena had reacted slower just now, the bullet would have hit her directly.
The sound of the blade piercing through flesh and the bullet whizzing through the air reached her ears at the stime.
Selena was startled and instinctively wanted to look up.
But Osvaldo firmly held the back of her head, preventing her from turning around.
The man's deep and beautiful eyes were as black as a universe black hole, staring at the young man wearing a fox mask opposite him. His expression was a chilling and cruel one that she had never seen before.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
After a long time, the young man's shoulders trembled and he let out a bitter and mocking laugh from his blood-stained lips, "Too bad, just bit more..." If it wasn't for this woman causing trouble, this man would have already been dead by now! The young man stared at Selena, who was being held in Osvaldo's arms, with a cold rage in his eyes.
Osvaldo's breath becchilling in an instant, and he coldly pulled the knife out of the young man's body.
The young man stumbled back a few steps while clutching his bleeding wound.
Selena was frightened by the man's eerie and sinister aura. She grabbed his hand and whispered, "Osvaldo... I'm scared..." Before she figured out who had entrusted the Sacred Pearl to him, she couldn't let this man die.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOsvaldo lowered his long eyelashes, covering the dark emotions that were on the verge of losing control in his eyes.
He picked up Selena without looking back at the injured boy, and headed up the stairs.
Creephia University was the palace where he controlled everything.
Without his permission, no one could escape! The young man probably knew this fact clearly and hopelessly, so he didn't waste any effort trying to escape.
Just as Osvaldo and Selena's figures disappeared, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell heavily to the ground, his once haughty and arrogant demeanor completely shattered, even showing a sense of collapsing.
Behind the mask, his eyes were tightly fixed on the direction Selena had left.
Besides the owner who created the Sacred Pearl, there were actually people in this world who could make the Sacred Pearl obedient...
Who is this woman? In the quiet hallway, Selena pulled Osvaldo's hand with an anxious expression and said, "Go find Leia!" The situation was urgent just now, and she had left Leia alone to deal with so many assassins. She still didn't know how Leia was doing at the moment.
Osvaldo stopped, his gaze glued to her face. The eerie black eyes were a mixture of tenderness and coldness, with a look that was as icy as it was hot.
Selena was startled, and her heart tightened. She looked at him anxiously and asked, "Are you injured?" She had only successfully closed the Sacred Pearl in the last second, and the killing intent had already reached Osvaldo's side...
Thinking of this, Selena raised her hand and began to check the man's body up and down.
Osvaldo looked deeply at her, then lowered his head and gently brushed her cheek with his thin lips, whispering softly, "If she's really hurt... will you listen to me?" The sharp questioning voice was like a knife, accurately piercing the most vulnerable spot in Selena's heart.
Selena's breath caught in her throat, and her face instantly turned a few shades paler.
That's right.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been calculated against and almost faced a life-threatening situation.
Selena closed her eyes, lowered her shoulders, and a thick apology appeared on her flawless white cheek, "I'm sorry..." Osvaldo's gaze froze as he looked at her, and a deeply suppressed trace appeared between his eyebrows and eyes.
He wasn't reproaching her.
He couldn't bear to reproach her.
He just wanted her to rely on him, to trust him, and not to take risks on her own.
What would happen to her if he didn't catch her in ttoday or didn't have tto block the enemy's attack for her? The danger she encountered and the injuries she suffered were already too much.
But Selena clearly misunderstood.
Osvaldo looked deeply at her.
In the end, he still held her and went up to the top floor, opening the door to the room.
The room was very messy, with most of the things destroyed, and except for Isabel lying on the ground, life or death unknown, there was no trace of anyone else.
Selena didn't see Leia and breathed a sigh of relief.
From this situation, Leia and those assassins should be looking for her everywhere.
Osvaldo sat Selena down on the only intact sofa and instructed her, "Wait forhere for a while." The things that attacked him just now were too dangerous and unpredictable, so he didn't dare to bring her with him until he had resolved them.
The people today seemed to have cspecifically for him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena's curly eyelashes trembled finely and densely as she held the man's hand and said, "You have to be careful.” Osvaldo gently rubbed her forehead to comfort her, then turned around and walked inside.
Outside the door, a group of menacing black-clothed people arrived just in time.
Osvaldo slowly pulled out his gun and his breath turned icy as he said, "Protect her!" "Yes!" One group guarded Selena outside the door, another scattered to search for people, and another followed Osvaldo up to the rooftop.
The source of the dangerous aura just now cfrom the rooftop.
Osvaldo opened the rooftop door.
The woman standing on the edge of the rooftop slowly turned around when she heard the noise, revealing a glamorous smile on her beautiful face. "Are you okay?" Osvaldo's gaze fell on the bone carving in her hand at first glance.
Diana noticed his gaze and picked up the bone puppet, gently stroking it with a hint of fanaticism in her eyes. "This item is called the Sacred Pearl, the most powerful assassination weapon in the world. | don't know where those rough people got it from, and it nearly hurt you..." Sacred Pearl? Now the black-clothed people behind Osvaldo all raised their heads in surprise and focused their gaze on the small bone carving.
Osvaldo's gaze fell on the bone carving in her hand at first glance.
Diana noticed his gaze and picked up the bone carving, stroking it gently. There was a hint of fanaticism in her eyes as she said, "This is called the Sacred Pearl, the most powerful assassination weapon in the world. | don't know where those thugs got it from. It almost hurt you..." Sacred Pearl? The black-clothed men behind Osvaldo were all startled and lifted their heads, their gazes fixed on the small bone carving.
In the arms industry, almost everyone has heard of the nof the Sacred Pearl.
Legend has it that its materials were not from this world, and the person who made it was extremely noble. To this day, no one has been able to investigate who that person was.
Once the Sacred Pearl is activated, blood will inevitably be shed. But Osvaldo didn't seem to be injured, so there was only one explanation.
Someone had closed the Sacred Pearl just before Osvaldo was attacked.
Osvaldo's subordinates were all covered in cold sweat from the shock.
Looking at Diana's eyes, there was a hint of gratitude in all of them.
After all, in a normal person's mind, Diana was a famous gun designer in H Country, and she happened to appear here at this twith Sacred Pearl in her hand. It must have been her who saved Osvaldo.
Osvaldo's gaze slowly fell on Diana's face, his expression inscrutable, "You've been here all this time?"
