Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh

Chapter 1590: A Critical Moment When Selena spoke, the atmosphere on the scene suddenly froze. Diana's triumphant and malicious expression abruptly stiffened on her face. The group of enraged H Country researchers had their mouths agape in shock. Everyone stared at Selena as if she were a monster.

The reason for this reaction was simple: Selena had uttered a nthat commanded respect and awe-Lindsay Hall, the owner of "Sacred Pearl." Whenever anyone mentioned her, it was always with reverence and fear, addressing her as "Miss Hall" or simply using the title.

No one had ever dared to address her directly, let alone in such a stern and cold tone. When the Central City researchers realized their mistake, all of them exploded in an instant.

They glared at Selena, as if she had blasphemed the deity in their hearts, angrily wishing to pounce on her and tear her apart.

"A mere director from H Country Research Institute dares to call Miss Hall by her ndirectly and even tells her to leave. You have quite the audacity!" "Even though you are a graduate of Lab 717, you are still under Miss Hall's leadership. How dare you show such disrespect? Our Central City Research Institute will definitely not let such an offense go unpunished!" After Diana regained her composure, she sneered at Selena with disdain. "Selena, who do you think you are? How dare you speak to Miss Hall like this? | think you've had enough of living!" The female researcher who had slapped someone looked at Selena's beautiful and noble face. Malice flashed in her eyes as she suddenly lunged forward, raising her hand to strike Selena'’s face. "Daring to disrespect Miss Hall, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Leia sneered and caught the woman's hand, then delivered two resounding slaps to her face. "Consider this payback for hitting the H Country researchers just now!" After the swift retaliation, Leia didn't hold back and kicked the woman out. The female researcher, who had been pampered and adored since joining the Central City Research Institute, found herself being struck in front of everyone. Shocked and infuriated, it took her a while to react. As she lay on the ground, she opened her eyes wide, only feeling intense pain on her cheek. She screamed only after a moment.

"How dare you hit my face! Guards! Capture them! Capture them immediately!" The Central City researchers helped the woman up while glowering at Selena, their faces filled with scornful sneers.

"People from H Country Research Institute, recklessly assaulting our Central City's senior researcher, this matter won't end well for you!" As they spoke, they took out their phones, intending to call someone from the Central City. The researchers from H Country, now fully awake to the situation, felt a sense of fear.

Even if they were unwilling to admit it, they couldn't deny the gap between the Capital and Central City. A senior researcher from Central City had just been publicly assaulted here. Central City now had a pretext to take action, and Selena would undoubtedly be held accountable.

The mechanical engineer who had been slapped cried with a tremor in her voice, "I'm sorry, Director. It's all my fault..." The other engineers present also panicked.

A few Union University students crouched at the back, watching the scene with strange expressions.

Kevin frowned, "Did it really have to cto blows?" Felix joyfully extended his hand, "I won! Pay up!" The others turned to look at him, one after another.

Before coming here, they made a bet. The bet was whether Selena would fight with the owner of "Sacred Pearl." Based on practical considerations, most of them bet that it wouldn't happen. Only Felix bet that it would. He claimed to have a premonition that these two eccentrics would eventually clash.

Luan Jiaojiao widened her eyes, "This development doesn't seem right. Miss Turner represents the H Country Research Institute, and now she has publicly assaulted senior researchers from the Central City Research Institute. Isn't she willingly handing the leverage to them?" "If this escalates, the H Country Research Institute won't just offend the Central City Research Institute but will also ruin its reputation in the alliance.” "It does seem off," Thomas stroked his chin, "but it's not entirely surprising. Miss Turner doesn't seem like someone who would tolerate injustice. Yet, compared to this, I'm more concerned about her tone when talking to Miss Hall. It sounds like..." He and Kevin exchanged a glance, and both sharp commanders had the sthought crossing their minds.

However, they quickly dismissed the idea. It shouldn't be possible. After all, the speculation was too fantastical. Selena and Miss Hall, both alumni of Lab 717, were not strangers. No one would be foolish enough to engage in such absurd actions.

How could the current situation be explained? After the Central City researchers made a call, a group of uniformed individuals with guns emerged from the gate behind them, aiming their guns at Selena, who was sitting in the crowd.

The people from H Country Research Institute screamed in fear. Many instinctively stood in front of Selena, shielding her from the line of fire.

Selena looked at her watch, and the chill in her eyes intensified.

Diana, on the other hand, was ecstatic. Central City's senior researchers had dedicated personnel for protection. Selena, foolishly attacking them in public, would rightfully be apprehended. This made Diana's plan to kill Selena much easier.

She maliciously stared at Selena, excitement and venomous delight in her crimson eyes.

The female researcher who had been slapped, looking at her swollen face in the mirror, was almost driven mad. She shouted at those protecting her, "She attacked Central City's senior researchers! Shoot her immediately!" The gun barrels aimed at Selena slowly lifted, and seven cocked their guns.

The people from H Country Research Institute were evidently unprepared for the situation to escalate to this point. Their faces turned pale, but they instinctively, yet unanimously, shielded Selena.

Even the few Union University students behind them began to feel uneasy.

Several people emerged from the crowd, with Kevin coldly saying, "Boldly killing the director of H Country Research Institute on our territory. | see you don't want to leave H Country alive." The female researcher, however, couldn't hear these words. She just stared at Selena with crimson eyes, shouting, "Kill her! Kill her now!" The individuals responsible for her protection immediately prepared to pull the triggers.

Diana's lips curled into a cold smile, anticipating the scene where Selena's blood would splatter.

As Selena finished counting the time, she slowly lowered her hand, directing her icy gaze at the gun barrels pointed directly at her.

In this critical moment...
