This Life, I Will Be the Protagonist

Chapter 213 My Luck Must Be a 10, That's Why I Met You

In the end, everyone compromised. Black Jade would move to a suburban location and provide the Special Affairs Bureau with 1,000 milliliters of Flood Dragon blood each month for their research. Additionally, Black Jade would be required to help the Bureau clear one medium-sized dungeon per month, without causing harm to anyone.

On the surface, it seemed like the Special Affairs Bureau had the upper hand, as they could send Black Jade to handle dungeons they couldn't manage. However, for the Bureau, the stronger Black Jade became, the greater the potential threat. This was a delicate game: as soon as the Bureau found an opportunity, they would strike to eliminate Black Jade.

As for Rick? Considering Rita, Shadow.Q took the initiative to ask him if he had any requests. Rick stated that he wanted to break the contract, but was immediately slapped hard across the face by Black Jade's tail.

Shadow.Q: "..."

She had just recently seen Rita video-chatting, showing her skill crystal account, and at the same time, saw Rita giving Nivalis a slap on the backside while she was on her lap. Now, Rick was getting slapped by Black Jade... Find adventures at empire

These two siblings—one lived like a queen, the other like a dog.

Shadow.Q kept smiling, had the healers restore Rick's health, and then quickly changed the subject.

"Save yourself, or wait for your sister to find you..."

After dealing with Black Jade's situation, Zoey's case came next.

Zoey wasn't as easy to handle. In her contract with the Special Affairs Bureau, it was clearly stated that they were supposed to help her acquire the Flood Dragon, but now that the Flood Dragon had been taken by someone else, the Bureau had to take responsibility.

The Bureau had no intention of shirking their duty. Not only for the Bureau's reputation, but also because Zoey's "Hope's Hymn" project was a long-term collaboration. If the Bureau tried to back out, Zoey could easily retaliate, and it would become a never-ending dispute. After all, they had already worked out their team and tactics, so capturing a second level 12 boss wouldn't be difficult.

However, Shadow.Q didn't immediately agree but scheduled a detailed discussion with Zoey in three days.

While not intending to back out, she knew that in business, it was natural to look for ways to profit from opportunities.

The Special Affairs Bureau could always spin the story and claim that the drama of Zoey and Rick fighting over the beast was just a ploy to have the Bureau help Zoey get another exotic pet. Zoey didn't press the issue too much either. She was quite confused, not knowing what to do if she encountered another creature like Black Jade, one that could reverse a contract. She needed time to think it through.

During this time, Rick kept his head down, not looking at anyone. Even when the healers fully restored his health, he didn't thank them like he usually did.

Now, the Special Affairs Bureau was moving Black Jade to its new residence, and Rick had to go with them. He didn't want to, but when he asked if he could stay behind, Black Jade slapped him across the face with its tail again.

Did Black Jade not know that the dragon's master was protecting this human?

But what of it? As long as the human didn't die, it didn't matter. Black Jade didn't believe the human would truly kill it.

Moreover, it felt that the humiliation it endured from one human and one dragon had to be avenged.

It hated Rick more and more the longer it looked at him. For some reason, whenever it saw Rick, its anger surged.

In this situation, if Nivalis were a free dragon, with her strength, she could easily hide and level up. No one could catch her, no one could kill her.

Rita added, "And although the main reason is to protect you, I'm doing it for myself too."

Nivalis quietly listened, and Rita felt as though Nivalis was even happier.

Nivalis: "When I left Zelan, my mother told me that real feelings, even if there's only one dragon egg's worth, are a hundred times more valuable than empty words that could fill the ocean."

Besides, no one could deceive a dragon. She knew Rita wasn't lying, but she could sense the emotions Rita had at each stage.

When Black Jade demanded dragon blood, Rita's feelings of anger, pity, and heartbreak far outweighed other emotions. Regret and worry only made up a small part.

After a long time, the wind carried Nivalis' response: "My luck must be a 10, that's why I met you."

It was getting too ambiguous!

Rita couldn't stand the overly sweet atmosphere and turned over, not wanting to respond to Nivalis.

She opened a private message from Shadow.Q.

[Shadow.Q]: Sis, are you awake? ┏(°ゝ°)┓

[Shadow.Q]: Stop sleeping, we're about to cross the border...

[Shadow.Q]: India D is already welcoming you on the world channel... Sis...

[Shadow.Q]: The price for the burst is this high, huh?

[Shadow.Q]: Are you really just sleeping because of the side effects?

[Shadow.Q]: Auntie... can you let Nivalis stop flying so you can sleep? Can we go to a five-star hotel and sleep? We'll send heavy troops to protect you.

[Shadow.Q]: We're about to cross the border again!!!

[Shadow.Q]: Myanmar D is welcoming you...

[Shadow.Q]: I really aged ten years in the last two days.

Rita: ...
