Selena's few words caused a collective jump in the eyelids of everyone from Central City present. Robert's gaze darkened as he focused on Osvaldo sitting beside Selena.
It was this man who had personally escorted Selena all the way to today. If not for him, they would have received news of her much earlier. They could have acted to eliminate her at her most vulnerable, but because of this man's intervention, she had steadily climbed to her current heights, becoming the daughter of the Turner family, the director of the H Country Research Institute, and the super genius of Lab 717.
This man's interference also meant they never had the opportunity to openly target her. Moreover, in the past year, he had caused quite a bit of trouble for Lillian in the Empire. Initially, they believed it was retaliation for the failed assassination attempt. Now, it seemed that everything he did was to conceal Selena's existence.
Even Lillian and Robert couldn't have anticipated that Selena would have a connection with him. According to their relationship, Osvaldo should have eliminated her the moment he learned her true identity. But he didn't. Instead, this man not only refrained from targeting Selena, but he also supported and protected her, leading her all the way to this height.
This was why Robert had to take extreme measures, even resorting to killing Selena in H Country. Once Selena returned to the Empire, her beautiful face alone would have caused trouble, and with this man by her side, they would have had to tread carefully.
Why was this monarch so fortunate?
Back in the Empire, Stanley had protected her meticulously. After much effort, they managed to kill her, only for her to inexplicably become someone else, someone with the same face. Not only that, she had become the wife of the Night Emperor, the ruler of the Union.
