The man had one arm around her waist, holding her slender body tightly in his embrace.
In his other hand, he held a knife, cruelly piercing through the young man's chest.
A bullet, seemingly fired from nowhere, nailed into the handrail of the staircase, making a "ding" sound.
If Selena had reacted slower just now, the bullet would have hit her directly.
The sound of the blade piercing through flesh and the bullet whizzing through the air reached her ears at the same time.
Selena was startled and instinctively wanted to look up.
But Osvaldo firmly held the back of her head, preventing her from turning around.
The man's deep and beautiful eyes were as black as a universe black hole, staring at the young man wearing a fox mask opposite him. His expression was a chilling and cruel one that she had never seen before.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
After a long time, the young man's shoulders trembled and he let out a bitter and mocking laugh from his blood-stained lips, "Too bad, just bit more..."
If it wasn't for this woman causing trouble, this man would have already been dead by now!
The young man stared at Selena, who was being held in Osvaldo's arms, with a cold rage in his eyes.
Osvaldo's breath became chilling in an instant, and he coldly pulled the knife out of the young man's body.
The young man stumbled back a few steps while clutching his bleeding wound.
Selena was frightened by the man's eerie and sinister aura. She grabbed his hand and whispered, "Osvaldo... I'm scared..."
Before she figured out who had entrusted the Sacred Pearl to him, she couldn't let this man die.
Osvaldo lowered his long eyelashes, covering the dark emotions that were on the verge of losing control in his eyes.
He picked up Selena without looking back at the injured boy, and headed up the stairs.
Creephia University was the palace where he controlled everything.
Without his permission, no one could escape!
The young man probably knew this fact clearly and hopelessly, so he didn't waste any effort trying to escape.
Just as Osvaldo and Selena's figures disappeared, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell heavily to the ground, his once haughty and arrogant demeanor completely shattered, even showing a sense of collapsing.
Behind the mask, his eyes were tightly fixed on the direction Selena had left.
Besides the owner who created the Sacred Pearl, there were actually people in this world who could make the Sacred Pearl obedient...
Who is this woman?
...
In the quiet hallway, Selena pulled Osvaldo's hand with an anxious expression and said, "Go find Leia!"
The situation was urgent just now, and she had left Leia alone to deal with so many assassins. She still didn't know how Leia was doing at the moment.
Osvaldo stopped, his gaze glued to her face. The eerie black eyes were a mixture of tenderness and coldness, with a look that was as icy as it was hot.
Selena was startled, and her heart tightened. She looked at him anxiously and asked, "Are you injured?"
She had only successfully closed the Sacred Pearl in the last second, and the killing intent had already reached Osvaldo's side...
Thinking of this, Selena raised her hand and began to check the man's body up and down.
Osvaldo looked deeply at her, then lowered his head and gently brushed her cheek with his thin lips, whispering softly, "If she's really hurt... will you listen to me?"
The sharp questioning voice was like a knife, accurately piercing the most vulnerable spot in Selena's heart.
Selena's breath caught in her throat, and her face instantly turned a few shades paler.
That's right.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been calculated against and almost faced a life-threatening situation.
Selena closed her eyes, lowered her shoulders, and a thick apology appeared on her flawless white cheek, "I'm sorry..."
Osvaldo's gaze froze as he looked at her, and a deeply suppressed trace appeared between his eyebrows and eyes.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
