Chapter 1727
Chapter 1727 She is to kind
She remembered all the efforts Selena had made to rescue the people in the underground city. Leia's lips trembled violently.
The man looked at her with a slow withdrawal of his hand, stood up straight, and looked at her with his pitch-black eyes. His tone became gentle, "You have lost your parents and your home. You are in pain."
"But you are not alone in your pain."
"The Turner family also lost their loved ones and their home. They are also in pain."
"Everyone who died in this disaster was also in pain."This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
"You are not the first, nor the last, nor the only one."
"But none of you can be called innocent. The most innocent person... is only her!"
The Turner family were involved.
Leia was one of the people from the underground city.
They were all not qualified to be called innocent.
The most innocent person was Selena who had to take responsibility and personally killed that person under duress during this disaster.
In an instant, a glint of sharpness and killing intent seeped into his eyes as he said,"You... are just bullying her because she is kind!"
The anger from members of The Turner family could barely be contained while Leia's resentment towards them was completely exposed simply because... Selena was too kind!
Leia was stunned.
She opened her mouth to argue, wanting to say that she didn't think that way, that she was just in too much pain. But facing the man's chilling gaze, she couldn't find the words to defend herself.
Muttering to herself, she asked, "Then who should I... hate?"
She had lost everything. She shouldn't hate Selena. So who should she hate?
Aarav looked at her bewildered expression and spoke with a clear voice. "Someone will come... to ease all of your resentment."
He shouldn't have made this trip.
It was too risky.
If Selena found out about his efforts, they could all be for nothing.
But her sister was hurt and heartbroken.
The dungeon held the biggest knot in her life.
Hearing forgiveness from a victim's own mouth would gradually release Selena from the shackles of guilt and regret in her heart.
Aarav looked at the pale figure on the ground with cold eyes. "Don't try to hurt her again or blame or torture her anymore... otherwise-" Leia shuddered involuntarily at his words.
Finally, Aarav gave one last glance at Leia before turning around and walking towards the door until he disappeared from sight quickly.
Leia stared blankly at his slender back for a long time before finally coming back to reality.
Selena injured her shoulder and after the bullet was removed, Osvaldo ordered her to rest properly. Fortunately, the main structure of the construction plan had already been determined and Lab 717 and people from the Central City Research Institute would take over from here.
Two days later, while Selena was napping at noon, she suddenly received a message. Leia wanted to see her.
Osvaldo's expression turned cold as he was about to refuse but Selena sat up suddenly and said, "Let her in." Osvaldo frowned.
Selena looked up at him and kissed his lips slightly. "You can watch over us personally. Nothing will happen."
Leia was soon brought in. After being locked up for a few days, the young girl looked thin and haggard. She looked at Selena who lay in Osvaldo's arms with an equally pale face but didn't say anything despite moving her lips several times.
Selena carefully observed Leia's expression and asked aloud, "What happened?" This seemed to open some kind of switch as Leia couldn't suppress her emotions anymore after holding them back for so long.
She cried out loud saying." I'm sorry Madam Selenal! It's my fault..."
"I shouldn't have resented you, shouldn't have said those words..."
"I definitely should not have shot you..."
Selena paused, a glimmer of light flickering in her eyes. "Did someone say something to you?"
Leia never kept anything from Selena, nor could she. Most importantly, the taste of hating Selena was too painful for her to bear. She didn't want to live with hatred and pain.
Leia nodded. "There was a very handsome young man who spoke to me..."
Although the other person wore a mask and Leia didn't see their face, she instinctively used the word "handsome" to describe them.
Selena fell silent for a few seconds before suddenly smiling happily. "What did he say to you?"
Leia repeated their conversation.
After listening for some time without moving, Selena suddenly looked up at the sky and softly called out: "Brother Aarav..."
...
One month later.
Lab 717 at Central City Research Institute, "home of the world's most famous scientific geniuses - spent one month creating the key that would reopen the underground city.
The military gathered and surrounded it completely.
Selena's wounds had not yet healed; Osvaldo stayed by her side every step of the way.
Oscar checked the time and the sky before nodding to Selena. "It's time," he said.
Selena took a step forward and glanced at Bruno, who nodded back, indicating that everything was ready.
Taking a deep breath, Selena softly felt a warm hand on hers. She turned to see Osvaldo standing beside her, holding her hand.
Feeling instantly reassured, Selena smiled slightly and gave the final command: "Let's begin!"
The airborne fleet received their orders and immediately sprang into action. The heavy aircrafts rose in an orderly fashion like vines growing towards the sky. The massive hooks descended from above and wrapped around the foundations of the underground city.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The ground shook with tremendous force as dust filled the air and rocks tumbled down.
Something brushed past them quickly along one of the walls. Osvaldo pulled Selena close to him, shielding her from harm.
Everyone watched in awe as this incredible scene unfolded before their eyes.
Selena felt the vibration under her feet and whispered. "The spiral is the greatest invention in the world. It can turn everything impossible into possible."
The rumbling sound grew louder and everyone instinctively stepped back
Bruno watched the scene on his screen, calculating distance and remaining energy. Suddenly he spoke up. "Here it comes!"
Everyone's spirits were instantly lifted.
The next second, a huge town rose from below ground level. The city's atmosphere hit them like a wave.
A beam of golden light shone down from the sky onto the decayed and dark city. The black fog seemed to be burned away quickly, revealing a quiet deserted city.
The underground city... has emerged!
Everyone standing around stared for a long time without making any noise.
After some time had passed, Selena was the first to speak up: "Black Crow, White Crow, Eden - take your vaccines into town separately!"
"Guard every exit! No one can enter or leave temporarily!"
"If you encounter anyone from 'God's Love' who tries to stop you."
Selena paused for a moment before continuing with an icy tone that echoed throughout the room: "Try to capture them alive if possible. If necessary..."
