Selena chuckled.
Even though she wasn't angry, her piercing gaze made the hearts of all the Central City personnel present tighten.
"The law in Central City does not allow nobles to kill anyone at will!"
"On the contrary, as far as I know, Central City's laws are strict and fair. Anyone who commits a crime, regardless of their status, must be treated equally!"
"Miss White hired someone to commit murder. The evidence is conclusive. This not only damages the image of Central City but also greatly affects our relationship with both sides..."
"Central City has yet to come up with a solution for such despicable behavior!" Selena's lips curved slightly upwards and her cold gaze became even more intimidating. "Who is currently ruling Riddle Group Empire?! How can they be so incompetent?!"
The last sentence made all the representatives from Central City present feel uneasy.
In the past, if someone had questioned Riddle Group Empire's authority like this, as people from Central City they would have already slammed their fists on tables and stood up in protest.
But when they saw Selena's face, they couldn't help but think of that rumor... and then couldn't calm themselves down.
Faced with Selena's questioning, even using simple delaying tactics was impossible for them.
Central City did indeed have strict laws.
But Beatrice was a descendant of royalty.
She had a mother who was once a princess herself,
And possibly even a younger sister who could become the new empress...
With such powerful backing behind her name, who would dare declare that she should be executed without hesitation?
However, at the same time, the late Queen was known for her fairness and strictness during her reign.
She ruled for thirteen years and executed many members of the royal family who had committed crimes.
She even killed her beloved Uncle David, who she cared deeply for.
Her just and strict governing style made her the most respected and beloved figure in all seventy-two cities of the federation.
Although Miss Lillian may have a chance to inherit the throne, she has not yet taken that position nor is she qualified to challenge or undermine that authority.
Within Riddle Group's empire, there is likely a power struggle taking place regarding Beatrice's situation.
On one side is the authority and order established by former Queen over many years; on the other side is Miss Lillian who may become a new queen...
This power struggle represents whether or not there can be a successful transfer of power.
Now it remains to be seen who will ultimately emerge victorious.
The central city representative being watched by Selena takes a deep breath and says: "Mr. Turner, please give us two days' time - we are sure that our empire will provide you with an explanation that satisfies you!"
