Selena smiled sweetly, thinking about the man who would soon accompany her on a journey to face an uncertain future. She reached up and caressed Osvaldo's face. "Osvaldo, I will be very good to you from now on."
Despite being unsure of everything, she indulged herself and fell in love with a man.
And she was determined to stay with him forever.
Osvaldo saw the tenderness and seriousness in Selena's eyes and chuckled softly. "You little troublemaker."
Selena smiled mischievously, wrapping her arms around his slender neck and kissing him passionately.
...
That afternoon, news broke out from the research institute that shook the entire city of the capital.
Diana had finally found a way to reopen the Sacred Pearl!
The news spread like wildfire overnight throughout the city, even reaching as far as Zone Six where it caused quite a stir.
It had been almost half a year since Sacred Pearl was last opened. Everyone had given up hope that Diana would ever find a solution.
So when news broke out that she finally found it at this time - how could anyone not be shocked?
After the shock subsided, everyone's gaze almost instantly focused on Miss Turner.
In the capital city, it was well known that both Diana and the Shaw family hated Selena to the core.
Diana possessed a skill that could control life and death. With Sacred Pearl in her possession, who would be her first target?
Undoubtedly, it would be Selena!
Under these circumstances, Selena was undoubtedly in great danger.
But upon further thought, while Sacred Pearl had immense power, it required a three-month hibernation period after each use. Unless Diana could use Sacred Pearl to kill everyone from both the Turner and Anderson families at once, she would be doomed!
Under these circumstances, Diana should not be so foolish as to directly target Selena. If she had even an ounce of intelligence left in her brain she wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
At this point in time various speculations were being made by all sorts of people.
Just as everyone was immersed in this news story however; suddenly another piece of news came from Central City which shook up the entire capital city.
Two days later Lab 717's owner -the true owner of "Sacred Pearl"-would personally come to the capital to retrieve "Sacred Pearl"!
This news immediately caused an uproar throughout the capital. Everyone who heard about this-from those working at the capital Research Institute or Central City Research Institute- nearly went crazy with excitement because they knew that Sacred Pearl's owner was a legend within mechanical circles; rumored to have an extremely high status yet never appearing publicly before anyone.
No one had ever imagined that in their lifetime, they would have the privilege of seeing the supreme being in person.
As soon as all the mechanics in the capital received the news, their eyes lit up with fanaticism and they began preparing eagerly.
Everyone was looking forward to the arrival of "Sacred Pearl's" owner.
In this situation, Diana's discovery of how to activate "Sacred Pearl" seemed insignificant.
...
Upon hearing this news at her small villa, Selena simply laughed it off.
They sure are well-prepared to kill her...
Leia furrowed her brow and looked extremely serious. "Madam Selena, what should we do now?"
If it were just Diana alone who activated "Sacred Pearl," there would be no need for concern. But if its owner were coming personally to the capital...
