    Chapter 1563 - Half an Hour


    Selena chuckled.


    Even though she wasn''t angry, her piercing gaze made the hearts of all the Central City personnel


    present tighten.

    "Thew in Central City does not allow nobles to kill anyone at will!"


    "On the contrary, as far as I know, Central City''sws are strict and fair. Anyone whomits a crime,


    regardless of their status, must be treated equally!"


    "Miss White hired someone tomit murder. The evidence is conclusive. This not only damages the


    image of Central City but also greatly affects our rtionship with both sides..."


    "Central City has yet toe up with a solution for such despicable behavior!" Selena''s lips curved


    slightly upwards and her cold gaze became even more intimidating. "Who is currently ruling Riddle


    Group Empire?! How can they be so ipetent?!"


    Thest sentence made all the representatives from Central City present feel uneasy.


    In the past, if someone had questioned Riddle Group Empire''s authority like this, as people from


    Central City they would have already mmed their fists on tables and stood up in protest.


    But when they saw Selena''s face, they couldn''t help but think of that rumor... and then couldn''t calm


    themselves down.


    Faced with Selena''s questioning, even using simple dying tactics was impossible for them.


    Central City did indeed have strictws.


    But Beatrice was a descendant of royalty.


    She had a mother who was once a princess herself,


    And possibly even a younger sister who could be the new empress...


    With such powerful backing behind her name, who would dare dere that she should be executed


    without hesitation?


    However, at the same time, thete Queen was known for her fairness and strictness during her reign.


    She ruled for thirteen years and executed many members of the royal family who hadmitted


    crimes.


    She even killed her beloved Uncle David, who she cared deeply for.


    Her just and strict governing style made her the most respected and beloved figure in all seventy-two


    cities of the federation.


    Although Miss Lillian may have a chance to inherit the throne, she has not yet taken that position nor is


    she qualified to challenge or undermine that authority.


    Within Riddle Group''s empire, there is likely a power struggle taking ce regarding Beatrice''s


    situation.


    On one side is the authority and order established by former Queen over many years; on the other side


    is Miss Lillian who may be a new queen...


    This power struggle represents whether or not there can be a sessful transfer of power.


    Now it remains to be seen who will ultimately emerge victorious.


    The central city representative being watched by Selena takes a deep breath and says: "Mr. Turner,


    please give us two days'' time - we are sure that our empire will provide you with an exnation that


    satisfies you!"


    Selena lightly taps on the table with her slender fingers as she smiles coldly and sarcastically: "Two


    days should be enough time to solve this problem." She continues: "As Central City holds first ce


    among all alliance cities, it''s disappointing how indecisive they are about executing murderers." Upon


    hearing Selena belittle their city again, one of Central City''s representatives finally loses his temper:


    "Mr. Turner should choose his words carefully! It''s precisely because this issue affects both countries''


    diplomatic rtions that more time is needed for your Empire to resolve it!"


    "Our queen is just and impartial, never favoring or protecting anyone!"


    "I believe that the decision of Central City will not disappoint Mr. Turner in the end!"


    Selena smiled slightly, "But howe I heard that the queen of Riddle Group Empire had passed away


    a year ago?"


    "If she were still in power, ording to what Beatrice has done in the past year, she would have been


    dead long ago, wouldn''t she?"


    Upon hearing Selena''s words, representatives from Central City were infuriated but couldn''t find


    anything to refute her.


    When our empress was alive, everyone in the court knew not to cross her. But after her passing and


    with Lillian about to take over as empress, Beatrice suddenly began acting recklessly at the research


    institute. She even conducted many prohibited human experiments privately.


    Although Beatrice tried to keep things discreetly hidden away, any actions taken would inevitably leave


    traces behind. Especially when news broke out about her killing a researcher from H country openly -


    there were people who started investigating immediately.


    All of Beatrice''s secret deeds had been exposed within Central City and it was truly appalling. If it


    weren''t for her mother and sister who came from such noble backgrounds - she would have already


    been sent up for execution.


    This is why if our empress was still alive today - even with ten times more courage than what Beatrice


    has shown so far - she wouldn''t dare be so heartless! Therefore Selena''s words could not be refuted by


    them.


    Most importantly though: this woman standing before them now shared both name and appearance


    with their deceased empress...


    Even a person from the center of the city couldn''t argue with that face. Selena smiled and said, "Since


    the center of the city is making it so difficult, let H country handle this on their own."


    Selena turned to Leia and said, "Announce the cause and effect of this matter publicly and let the court


    pick a day to send the criminal straight to justice!"


    Selena''s words made all of the representatives from the center of the city turn pale.


    "Mr. Turner!" The representative who spoke first looked at her with cold sweat on his forehead. "Please


    wait a moment. I''ll call back now. The execution in our empire... should have already happened by


    now!"


    As Selena had said, once it was revealed that representatives from the center of city had sent


    someone to kill an opposing mechanic over a few words during an argument within H country''s


    borders, their reputation would be ruined.


    In such circumstances, they couldn''t afford any dy.


    Selena elegantly leaned back in her chair and said, "I''ll give you all half an hour."


    The representatives from center of city bowed to Selena before leaving meeting room.


    Seeing this situation, Selena sneered and told Leia,"Leia, call someone at court and have them bring


    Beatrice over."


    Lillian had deliberately brought this foolish sister in front of her as a tool for establishing dominance;


    how could she allow Beatrice to get what she wanted?


    Leia immediately went off to make phone calls.


    Twenty minutester, Beatrice was brought in wearing handcuffs by two court officials.


    Two days in prison had stripped away any trace of delicacy or elegance that came with being born into


    nobility but only served to highlight her arrogant malice even more so.


    As soon as she walked in, she red at Selena with malice. "It was you who framed me! I never did


    such a thing..."


    Selena casually turned her head. "Miss White knows that the things she did at the Central City


    Research Institute have been thoroughly exposed by the Empire''s people and made public, haven''t


    they?"
