Chapter 919 Overpraised
Benjamin''s hand, twisting the chess piece, stopped in mid-air. Selena''s final checkmate swiftly
upied his pce, marking the end of the game.
Benjamin casually threw his chess piece aside andzily 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''smon knowledge that conductors have ck
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-inw. 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 familytely..."
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 med 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,posed 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 bing even colder. It seems that being obedient is
deceiving.
Selena looked at the man''s expressionless face andughed. "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 hermand 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. ck 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 sessfully develop an antidote!
The thought of this made Selena unable to contain her excitement.
Benjamin remained silent.
When Callum entrusted Nevaeh to him, he wanted his wife and daughter to be safe in the end. After
the Turner family incident, Nevaeh left the capital.
In order to prevent the organization from targeting her again, Nevaeh cut off all contact with anyone in
the capital over the years. Apart from the news of Nevaeh''s sudden death due to illness, no one has
heard any news about Selena.
The first time Benjamin knew about Selena''s existence was because of Osvaldo. As a father, he

naturally knew about his own son''s temper.
When Osvaldo suddenly told him that his daughter-inw was named Selena, Benjamin had a feeling
that Callum was going to harm his son. And it turned out to be true... Callum''s daughter almost hooked
Osvaldo''s soul.
Regarding this situation, Benjamin didn''t have any extra thoughts except thinking that his son was
worthless.
After all, there was no one who knew Osvaldo''s nature better than him, as it was inherited from him.
Benjamin looked at Selena''s expectant expression and stood up expressionlessly. Selena looked at the
boss with an angry expression and turned around to leave, looking surprised.
Was he really not nning to give it to her?
Did her sincerity and strength not show enough?
Thinking about this, Selena felt wronged. She had already gone to great lengths to get this boss to
speak up for her, exposing her calcting side in front of her boyfriend''s father.
The result was that he turned around and left...
As soon as Benjamin left, Osvaldo walked out from inside and saw Selena''s slightly wronged face.
He raised his hand and touched her face. Selena blinked and said to Osvaldo, "I really think I''m
suitable!"
If it were Selena from Creephia, she would naturally keep her distance from Osvaldo as far as possible.
But as Selena in the underground city incident, she became a party to it and had no qualifications or
possibilities to escape.
She couldn''t go home right now, the capital forces were not strong enough, but Benjamin had been
running his business for so many years, he must have something readily avable.
But he refused to give it to her...
It was heart-wrenching!
Osvaldo rarely saw Selena with a look of not being able to get what she wanted, and he found it cute.
He touched her little face and said, "You can say it to someone else."
Selena asked, "What do you mean?"
Osvaldo hugged her and said, "If you say it to someone else, maybe there will be a surprise
immediately after."
Selena thought about it, blinked, and then turned around and walked out.
Just as she took a few steps, Osvaldo grabbed her back. "Where are you going?" There was a hint of
displeasure in his tone.
She did not bother to coax him?
Selena turned her head and looked at him sincerely, "I''m going to coax my mother-inw. I hope she
can speak a few more good words for me in front of my father-inw. Maybe this matter will be
settled... isn''t this what you mean?"
Osvaldo was stunned.
Selena looked at his expression in surprise.
