She took the "Sacred Pearl" back with ease, as if it was just a simple toy in Selena's hand that she lightly touched and returned to its original form. Everyone who witnessed this scene was left stunned and speechless.
Facing the shocked gazes of those around her, Selena took out alcohol from the conference room table and began disinfecting the "Sacred Pearl" meticulously. She wiped it up and down, making sure it had returned to its original state before turning around to face Osvaldo.
Standing in front of him with a sweet smile on her face, Selena handed over the "Sacred Pearl" to him saying, "It's for you." Osvaldo stared at her beautiful smile as his throat tightened with emotion.
He looked at the delicate porcelain bone doll in his hands. Although he had never seen what Selena looked like when she was younger, he somehow knew that this was carved according to her childhood appearance.
He held onto both Selena's hands connected by the "Sacred Pearl," feeling as if he were holding onto all of her. Although his expression remained unchanged, Selena could sense that Osvaldo's emotions were running high.
Seeing how happy he was with his gift made Selena even more delighted. She stepped back one step behind Bruno and stood at the forefront of Lab 717 team facing Osvaldo while raising an eyebrow slightly with a faint smile on her lips amidst all their shocked stares.
"Let me introduce myself formally, my name is Selena, the leader of Lab 717 and the true owner of 'Sacred Pearl.'"
Boom.
The frozen atmosphere exploded at that moment.
With a loud bang, Patrick's water cup fell on the table.
Freddie suddenly stood up from his seat, his face pale.
The people from Central City Research Institute were completely stunned in place.
The researchers on site opened their mouths wide and collectively lost their ability to speak at this moment.
Even the Zone Six bosses who were attending the video conference were stunned and remained silent for a long time.
But in this frozen silence, Diana was undoubtedly the most shocked and frightened person. In her mind, Selena's words echoed back and forth...
"My name is Selena, leader of Lab 717 and true owner of 'Sacred Pearl'..."
Selena...
Leader of Lab 717...
True owner of "Sacred Pearl"...
Each word felt like a deadly knife that cut into Diana heavily. It tortured her arrogant, stupid heart mercilessly until it bled.
The boundless fear and terror tore apart all of her wickedness and arrogance. She had actually stolen the "Sacred Pearl" from its owner, Sacred Pearl. If Diana's heart wasn't cruel enough and her face thick enough, she would have gone crazy the moment she heard this news. She didn't go crazy, but she was close to it.
She looked at Selena with a face full of fear, without a trace of malice or pride. Trembling, she hugged herself tightly and looked at Selena with wide bloodshot eyes, shrinking into near pitiful collapse.
A deathly silence spread in the conference room.
Kevin from Union University was the first to come back to his senses. Perhaps it was because he had witnessed Selena's process of creating machinery in the forest before or perhaps because he already had doubts in his heart.
So when he heard this sentence, Kevin's shock did not last long. He took a deep breath and looked at the girl who was surrounded by a group of super geniuses in the center.
At that moment, there was suddenly a feeling that everything had fallen into place deep inside his heart.
Yes!
