Chapter 681 Sacred Pearl! Selena saw the man she missed appearing in front of her, and she froze for a moment. There was a burning sensation in her eyes as she said, "Osvaldo..." The fox-faced young man smiled, "You still have tleft, try to talk to him a few more words." Selena suppressed her anxiety and looked at him coldly, "Do you think you can threaten him with just these few people you brought?" She glanced at the people behind him, her face full of contempt and disdain, sneering, "You are really overestimating yourselves!" The young man narrowed his dangerous eyes and smiled playfully, "Then we have to thank you. Without you, we naturally wouldn't have a chance. But after using you as bait, everything has changed..." As he spoke, he took out something from his body.
It was a bone puppet whose material could not be discerned, porcelain white all over, finely carved, even the subtle expressions on its face were very vivid.
As soon as Selena's eyes touched the bone puppet, they froze, and her pupils shrank suddenly.
The next second, she rushed forward without any warning.
He was pointing a knife at her. He probably did not expect that Selena would make such a suicidal move, so he subconsciously moved the tip of the knife away. In this short few seconds of opening, the bone carving he held in his hand disappeared.
After Selena snatched the object, she did not hesitate at all and rushed out of the door while shouting, "Stop them within a minute!" Before her voice even fell, she had already rushed out of the door quickly.

The girl was full of hostility, holding her lucky cat in one hand and a sharp short knife in the other. She fiercely chopped down at the people rushing towards her.
After Selena grabbed the bone carving and rushed out the door, she quickly pressed the elevator's down button. However, she turned around and ran towards the rooftop.
She dashed onto the rooftop, locked the door behind her, and ran to the edge. With one hand, she placed the bone carving on the ground and turned her head to look at Osvaldo downstairs.
The man had already run in from the hotel entrance and was getting closer and closer.
Selena's face turned pale, but her hands didn't stop moving. She quickly twisted the bone puppet's head, and after a few "clicks," the once delicate and cute bone puppet had completely changed its appearance.
It was revealed to be a finely crafted mechanical device.
Cold sweat covered Selena's forehead as her fingers quickly pressed several keys.
Meanwhile, the young man wearing a fox mask finally rushed out of the room. He glanced at the elevator that had already descended to the first floor, cursed, and was about to chase after it. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his footsteps stopped on the stairs.
After a moment, a fierce smile appeared on the young man's face, and he turned around and chased up to the rooftop.
As Selena disassembled the mechanical device, she also kept an eye on Osvaldo's movements, fearing that in the next moment, she would see him in a dismembered state.
She was extremely afraid, but under such high-pressure conditions, her hands did not tremble, and she quickly dismantled what was in her hands.
Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound, the sound of the door lock being broken. In the next second, the young man wearing the fox mask kicked open the door and rushed in with a gun in his hand.
Selena's face was cold, and she looked at him coldly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe fox-masked young man was originally laughing, but when he saw what Selena was doing, he exclaimed as if he had been greatly frightened, "What are you doing?" Selena didn't answer. Her slender, fingers dismantled the mechanical device in her hand with a fast and almost invisible movement.
When he realized what Selena was doing, the young man's gaze becsharp, staring at Selena with a look that could almost eat her alive. "Who are you? How can you control the Sacred Pearl?" Selena sneered and sternly asked, "This question should be asked by me. ‘Sacred Pearl’ is not something you are qualified to possess. Where did you get this ‘Sacred Pearl’ from?" The young man coldly laughed, pointing his gun at her head. "Although | said | don't kill women, it looks like I'll make an exception today!" Selena looked at him contemptuously. "Want to try? Who do you think will die first?" The young man looked at her with a fearless demeanor, but his eyes couldn't hide his fear and anxiety. Suddenly, he laughed, "Do you think you can succeed?" His eyes were filled with ridicule and he mocked her ignorance. "The creator of ‘Sacred Pearl’ is already dead. Besides you, no one in this world has ever been able to retrieve the killing move that it releases. You, a weak woman who | could easily kill with a flick of my wrist, dare to challenge 'Sacred Pearl"... how dare you!" Selena sneered, and her hand moved faster and faster. "What's wrong with being a woman? Do you not know that the creator of "Sacred Pearl’ was also a woman?" "Who are you to even compare yourself to 'her'?" The young man looked at Selena with disgust, as if her words had offended someone. "Women without self-awareness should die even more!" Selena's eyes flickered with something indiscernible, but she remained silent.
The young man looked down at the hotel lobby, thinking that Selena would never be able to save Osvaldo. He also inexplicably feared this woman in front of him and decided to enjoy watching her "last struggle.” During this short minute, both of them clearly saw that Osvaldo had already made it to the hotel lobby.
He would be here in less than two minutes! Selena's lips turned slightly pale. She ignored the gun that could take her life at any moment, lowered her head, and began to concentrate on disassembling and reassembling the mechanism in her hand.
The young man seemed to think Selena's expression was not desperate enough, so he laughed and continued. "Since you love that man so much, lettell you kindly, you have one minute left!" "After one minute, you will witness your beloved man dying in front of you, bleeding all over his body!" Selena slightly tilted her head and bit her lip, drawing blood but managing to control her trembling hands.
The danger of ‘Sacred Pearl’ was too great. If she shook her hand even a little, she wouldn't be able to save Osvaldo and might die on the spot.
The young man looked at her bleeding lips and laughed maliciously, watching the countdown on his watch. "Fifty-four, fifty- three..." The sound fell into Selena’s ears like a terrifying death knell.
She kept her head down and said nothing, watching the small bone puppet in her hand being stripped layer by layer.
“Thirty-nine, thirty-eight..." Selena's dark eyes were fixed on the unrecognizable thing in her hand.
