"Miss Turner, I'm not exaggerating!"
"Whether it's the city center or Lab 717, their retaliation is something you can't handle!"
Selena chuckled. "I haven't tried yet. How do you know I can't handle it?"
Mr. McCoy closed his eyes and finally got angry. "Let's not talk about the city center for now, just Sacred Pearl alone belongs to Lab 717!"
"And Sacred Pearl is just one of many things in Lab 717. Its strength is unmatched even by the research institute in the city center."
"Bruno and others' love and value for Miss Lindsay are well known."
"If the owner of Sacred Pearl dies in H-country research institute, no one can predict what Lab 717 will do!"
"At that time, not only you but everyone present will have to bear its wrath!"
Mr. McCoy looked at Selena's indifferent face and turned to look at a group of big shots from District Six on the screen.
"Have you really thought this through? Do you want to openly challenge both City Center and Lab 717 for Miss Turner?"
Many big shots from District Six didn't look too good.
Lindsay and Robert's actions were obvious to all, so they were naturally angry.
But they couldn't ignore the bigger picture.
Even if Mr. McCoy's words weren't pleasant to hear, they were still true.
The H-country research institute doesn't have enough power to fight against those two major forces.
Once Lindsay and Robert really died here, Central City and Lab 717 would both strike at the same time, and H Country couldn't afford it.
The higher-ups always put the overall situation first.
So even though they knew it was unfair to Selena, even though they were suffocating with grievances, they had to grit their teeth and persuade her.
Sidney took a deep breath. "Oscar, let the Turner family think about this."
Oscar lowered his eyes and tapped his long fingers on the table without saying a word.
Obviously, everything was left for Selena to decide on her own.
Selena's lips curled slightly. "Mr. McCoy, are you threatening me?"
"It's not just a threat," Mr. McCoy sighed regretfully as he looked at her face. "It's just how things are."
"Although you look like our queen in Central City and have the same name as her... you have a different fate!"
"If you were really our queen in Central City, whether it was Mr. Hall's family or Lab 717 behind Miss Lindsay dared to assassinate the queen... they would be destroyed by one word from the empire!"
"But unfortunately, you're not her so all you can do is swallow your anger!"
Selena's dark eyes flickered as she seemed to think of something before suddenly lowering her lashes.
Osvaldo noticed that Selena was feeling uneasy so he held onto her hand and whispered softly: "Are you upset?"
His little wife should have been the most respected woman in this world but because of those evil spirits out there she had been wandering around outside suffering countless grievances.
