Benjamin's hand, twisting the chess piece, stopped in mid-air. Selena's final checkmate swiftly occupied his palace, marking the end of the game.
Benjamin casually threw his chess piece aside and lazily leaned back on the sofa, staring at Selena with a sneer. "You're young, but your heart is pretty dark."
Selena smiled faintly. "You're overpraising me. It's common knowledge that conductors have black hearts. Besides, I'm the biggest ace in the conducting world. Those who underestimate me because of my age usually end up in a pitiful state."
Moreover, she was currently his daughter-in-law. This was her first visit, and he probably wouldn't care that she had tricked him.
Benjamin continued to lounge on the sofa for a while before saying indifferently, "If there were truly heroes in this world, then the Turner family would be full of them."
Without the constraints of the chessboard, Selena's mind wandered to other things. Benjamin's words instantly made her smell something unusual.
His next sentence confirmed Selena's suspicions. "If the Turner family had agreed to be deserters, so many people wouldn't have died back then."
Selena's heart skipped a beat. Maybe everyone had guessed wrong. It wasn't the Anderson family that had broken the agreement; it was the Turner family that had refused the Anderson family's help. And then, for some reason, they had still chosen to fight, knowing the consequences.
Thus, they all perished on the battlefield.
Selena's lips even trembled as she asked, "They...?"
"They died on the battlefield," Benjamin finally opened his eyes, and a trace of coldness flickered in his eyes. "Except for Nevaeh and the youngest son in the family, all the men in the Turner family died on the battlefield."
Selena suddenly closed her eyes, concealing the deep sadness and anger in her eyes.
Benjamin's cold voice continued, "If you can't even leave the capital, knowing more won't help."
"I understand," Selena stood up and bowed to him with the highest etiquette of the Riddle family. "Thank you very much."
The Riddle family's betrayal had created so much evil, yet so many heroes had stepped forward to clean up the mess and move forward.
Benjamin looked at the young girl in front of him. "My son has been fixating on avenging the harm done to your family lately..."
Although he was somewhat disgusted, he was still his own son. The sight of his son's unproductive behavior was irritating.
Selena lifted her head and smiled gently. "I have never blamed him," she said. She never thought Osvaldo was at fault. If Osvaldo was at fault, wouldn't she be even more guilty?
Selena took a deep breath, composed herself, and looked back at Benjamin. "So, Osvaldo, I won the chess game, can you trust me to take over that faction now?"
Benjamin remained silent, his already cold face becoming even colder. It seems that being obedient is deceiving.
Selena looked at the man's expressionless face and laughed. "Osvaldo, look at me. I inherited my father's extraordinary medical talent. I'm sure I'm the one who can decipher that data in the end! And I must go to the underground city. So, isn't it best to give it to me?"
Most importantly, only the people under her command have the ability to decipher the data in the shortest time possible. The data has been in H Country for ten years and has not been deciphered yet, which shows how difficult it is. But she is different.
After Divine Love was destroyed, she obtained a lot of research materials. Black Crow and White Crow knew more about the Divine Love virus than the people in the capital of H Country. Coupled with Callum's finished data, they will surely be able to successfully develop an antidote!
The thought of this made Selena unable to contain her excitement.
Benjamin remained silent.

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...
