With a loud gasp, the entire room was shocked after Lindsay's statement. Everyone stared at the young girl in the green dress and black hair with horror in their eyes.
While it is true that there are brain transplant surgeries in medicine, they can only be performed on dead bodies and even then, success is not guaranteed. The owner of "Sacred Pearl" still looked so young, why would she have such an absurd idea?
Robert's face turned pale as he glared coldly at Lindsay. However, she ignored his angry gaze and kept her eyes fixed on Selena.
Selena didn't say anything but her gaze became even colder for a moment.
Lindsay lowered her eyelashes and said softly: "I know that what I'm doing may upset you or seem unfair to you. It may even seem like I'm trying to take advantage of your kindness but this is all I have to offer... I want freedom."
She wanted freedom but didn't want to lose her home. She could only try her best with everything she had to exchange for it.
Selena chuckled: "What do you want?"
If Lindsay was so attached to 717 then why would she help Robert go against her?
Lindsay looked up at Selena seriously and said: "Freedom."
She had pursued only one thing her entire life.
Selena's expression grew colder.
If Lindsay was a pure villain, then cleaning house would be the solution.
But she was sick!
Then Selena added: "Also 717 doesn't need your brain. If you die, I will have someone cremate your body completely."
To Selena, the idea of a brain transplant was against the laws of nature. Could a stupid person really become smart just by having a smart person's brain implanted? Selena didn't think so.
Lindsay was thrilled. "Thank you so much," she said before returning to her seat with the Sacred Pearl in hand.
She rubbed her fingers over the bone carving and turned to Diana, who stood nearby with an intense gaze. "As a special researcher invited to Central City and someone who knows how to activate Sacred Pearl by chance, let Miss Barrett demonstrate it for everyone."
Lindsay handed over the Sacred Pearl to Diana, whose eyes turned crimson as she accepted it. At that moment, Robert and Freddie sitting at the edge of the conference room both held their breaths tightly.
Selena watched calmly without any sign of nervousness or intervention as Diana grasped onto this exquisite bone puppet and after a moment suddenly looked up at her with an unwavering stare.
