Chapter 1496 Margot! To be exact, Osvaldo beside Selena was being stared at with nervous tension.
The man had a handsome face and a pair of demonic eyes that appeared gentle but his standing posture with his hands behind his back was proud and elegant, faintly revealing a terrifying nobility.
Compared to the legendary figure, his aura was vastly different.
However...
Ever since it was rumored half a year ago that he was in the capital of H Country, the entire dark world had been in turmoil, with assassinations pouring in like locusts.
In such a situation, the fact that this man was able to survive unscathed until today proved that he was not a simple character.
What was even more infuriating was that even though so many people had been sent to fill him, no one knew whether he was "that person” or not.
And their task this time was to kill this man! Even if they couldn't kill him, they had to confirm whether he had any relationship with "that person"! Thinking of this, the eyes of the group of people staring at Osvaldo revealed a chilling killing intent.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMany people glanced at Selena, a beautiful and delicate young girl, and ignored her directly. After all, Selena wasn't their target to begin with.
They just needed an opportunity to get close to Osvaldo, and coincidentally, Penelope could create that opportunity for them.
Their cooperation was just that.
Penelope looked at Selena viciously and said with a smile, "Selena, hand over what you have in your hand, or I'l kill this stupid girl right away." She not only wanted Selena dead but also wanted her to become a sinner in the whole of H Country, disgraced and discredited.
Selena disdainfully glanced at her and said, "You make it sound like if | gave you what | have, you wouldn't kill innocent people." Penelope was caught off guard by her words and choked, only able to change her mind. "If you hand over what you have to me, I'll let her go!" Selena coldly smiled, "Are you someone who keeps their promises?" Penelope became furious and aimed her gun at Nova, pulling the trigger.
The bullet grazed Nova's foot and Penelope's eyes were filled with resentment, "The next shot, I'll shoot her in the head!" Selena's face was cold, and suddenly she raised her hand and fired a shot at Cameron's shoulder. "You can go ahead and do it, strictly speaking, | am only acquainted with her, and her life is not as important as what I have in my hand." "Consider this a favor for Penelope, who likes the man you are after.” Cameron grunted, his body wavering and falling to the ground.
Penelope looked at Cameron's bleeding shoulder, her face turning pale. "Selena!!" Selena sneered, "Do you think | was joking when | asked Cassius to pass on a message to you?" Penelope's face twisted in anger.
Despite her own madness, she still had some genuine feelings towards Cameron, who had cared for her for over a decade.
She grabbed Nova and scolded her fiercely, "See this? This is the idol you worship, a hypocritical and vicious woman!" Nova was gagged and tears streamed down her face.
Selena's ruthlessness made Penelope furious.
She had thought that by holding Nova captive, she could control Selena and make her obey. But she didn't expect that Selena didn't care about Nova's life at all! She could even hurt Cameron without hesitation! If Selena and Osvaldo were allowed to leave alive and she didn't get what Cassius needed, would Penelope have any way out in the capital? Penelope's eyes were cold and sinister. "Selena!" Selena stood there coldly, completely unaffected by Penelope's threats. Their conflict had dragged on for too long, and the onlookers were losing patience. This was the man's territory, and the longer they waited, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
A woman looked at Selena and said coldly, "I promise you, as long as you hand over what we want, she will be able to leave here unharmed.” Penelope was stupid and couldn't see through Selena's thoughts. These old hands who had been on the road for a long time, how could they not see through it? If Selena really didn't care about that girl, she wouldn't have appeared here in the first place, given her identity.
However, Penelope was too wicked and not only wanted to get what she wanted but also wanted to kill the hostage, trying to have her cake and eat it too. This made negotiating with her not worthwhile.
Selena's gaze fell on the woman's face and she smiled. "You've come all this way to kill my husband, surely there must be a reason." The woman hugged her arms and said coldly, "This is between us and your man. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask.” "We don't shed the blood of innocent people. Once you've achieved your goal, take that girl and leave immediately.” Apart from Penelope's unwillingness, no one opposed this decision.
The underworld and the government had always kept their distance, and with Selena's sensitive identity, the eldest daughter of the H Country's top military and political family, a descendant of loyalty and martyrdom, and a super genius of Lab 717, if anything were to happen to her, these forces would chase them to the ends of the earth.
It's not worth it to cause such a mess just to test someone's identity.
Osvaldo, who had been silent all this while, suddenly lowered his head and kissed Selena on the forehead. "Wait for me at home." Selena looked up at Osvaldo, seemingly considering something. After a moment, she nodded obediently. "Okay." She took the box from Osvaldo's hands and casually threw it on the ground. "Give Nova to me." Penelope's eyes lit up with excitement when she saw the box.
Although the people she was working with didn't know what was inside, she did.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was what Cassius and his mysterious organization had been trying to get their hands on.
Once she got it, she would have made a great contribution.
Even if something unexpected happened on Osvaldo's side, Cassius wouldn't dare to ignore her.
Penelope smiled with joy as she picked up Nova and handed her to Selena, then bent down to pick up the box.
Selena caught Nova and watched as Penelope's hand reached for the box. However, another hand reached out and snatched the box away.
At the same time, Osvaldo suddenly rose up and shielded the two young girls behind him. His hand flashed with cold light as he caught the long knife that had been abruptly swung at him from behind by Penelope.
The clash of the blades sounded painfully loud to the ears.
Everyone was shocked as they watched the two figures in the center of the scene fighting like ghosts.
As soon as they realized what was happening, everyone raised their guns and aimed at Osvaldo without hesitation, pulling the trigger simultaneously.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Dozens of people fired their guns at the place where Osvaldo was.
At the same time, Selena used all her strength to push Nova out of harm's way and shouted, "Margot!"
