This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

Chapter 107 Please,Send a Message to Rick

After paying online, the other party was even unwilling to tell Julian and the others their own ID. They only instructed them to deposit their blood in a gym locker, and someone would come to collect it. For the sake of Aaron's secret, the group spent almost half their funds—money that had been accumulated since the studio's third internal test.

Rick either looked down on it or didn't want Aaron to think he was too harsh; when the studio disbanded, he didn't take the money but placed it in a pouch in the living room.

As for Aaron's blood, they had plenty in the studio. After all, he had been pried twice for his eyeballs, and when blood splattered onto the carpet and curtains, they didn't even consider replacing them; they simply cut out the soiled carpet and sent it. The other party had a tool that could refresh the blood, for which Julian and the others even paid an extra fee.

In exchange, they received a bombshell secret: Aaron's hidden truth was that he didn't want anyone to know he had been with his older brother and sister-in-law's illegitimate son, Ezra. If they had Rick's blood, Julian would have wanted to place another order to investigate Rick's secret.

However, Aaron's secret was explosive enough, especially considering Ezra's identity. This meant that if the three operated well, they could not only profit from Aaron but also obtain valuable items from Ezra. They could even, if bold enough, extort Aaron's older brother and sister-in-law.

Goodness, no wonder the owner of that secret talent hid himself; there was so much to gain! Rita was also shocked. She happened to be changing her sanitary pad when she overheard their conversation about this talent, which made her panic and set the used pad on fire, deciding to do the same in the future.

Moreover, after consuming healing potions, she would have to be careful to clean off any blood stains left on her, nipping it in the bud—she could never let her blood spill outside! Wasn't this skill directly targeting her? She was afraid that if the other party used this skill on her, she might hear, "This person's secret... um... where to begin?"

From their conversation, she not only learned about this Insight talent that could delve into secrets through blood but also about Ezra's identity... another thing she had never known in her past life.

As for why Aaron didn't want anyone to know, there could be many reasons: perhaps it was because his sister-in-law and second brother treated him well, and he didn't want to hurt them; maybe Ezra asked him not to tell anyone; or perhaps he didn't want to see the Jones family in turmoil.

Rita was intrigued. The Jones family had never harmed her in her past life; they were merely strangers. Their association with the Lopez family was just for better development, which was understandable. They probably didn't even know who Rita was.

Which subsidiary would take the time to get to know or investigate a bullied employee at their headquarters? Even during meals and gossip, they'd be talking about the top 100 list! So, Rita genuinely had no feelings towards the Jones family.

Her focus was on Ezra! How coincidental! Another enemy of hers! Ezra had no emotional ties to her; he wasn't a sycophant and wasn't the second male lead in a love story. So why did Rita hate him?

In truth, the inspiration for Rick contracting AIDS in this life came from Ezra. During the second year of the game invasion, Rita had been rarely accepting Rick's invitations. Even though Rick treated her well and said how hard it was for him in the Lopez family and how he missed family and Rita, she wasn't a masochist.

Why would she go seek out trouble when the Lopez, White, and Taylor families bullied her?

But somehow, she kept encountering these people in various corners... Even when she whimsically went to the mountains to find undiscovered wild instances, she would run into them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Was it easy for her?!!!

Please, Qingfeng, help her deliver a message to Rick.

Please, heavens, is there anyone who can be more despicable than Rick?

The more Rita thought about it, the angrier she became, directly activating the Master Archer's "Now I'm Scary Strong" explosive state to start rampaging.

Once out of the instance, she planned to send a message to the Jones family.

However, before that, she stopped by the Rania Kaiya auction house.

Searching for "Guess."

Nothing.

Searching for "Secret."

Still nothing.

She changed her term to "Inside Story."

Still no results.

She wasn't afraid of others Insight-ing her secrets; not to mention how careful she always was, that kind of Insight was a form of divination, and her Chávez pocket watch could avoid it.

Her goal for searching was purely mischievous; she wanted to know others' little secrets.

Unfortunately, there was nothing... Such a wicked talent really suited her.
