After I Fully Prepared for the Apocalypse, the Ungrateful Cried with Regret novel Chapter 538

Chapter 538: Chapter 538: Extortion

"You..."

Amelia Vance felt a piercing pain in his shoulder.

Renee Strong hurriedly stood in front of him and yelled, "Nina Jacobs! If you want to kill him, you’ll have to kill me first!"

"What are you talking about? I’m a law-abiding citizen. You can’t just go around killing people in the base." A phone had appeared in Nina’s hand at some point, displaying a picture of the two of them hugging.

Would Renee ever die for someone else? Nina didn’t believe it for a second. She was just putting on an act to show her loyalty to Amelia Vance. Renee was obviously clinging to him as her backing. However, Nina remembered that Amelia had a wife at Arisdale Base, and the only reason he had become a big shot in supplies was because of his impressive father-in-law...

Now this was interesting. The reason Amelia had been in such a hurry to kill her just now was probably because he was afraid she would leak his secret.

Looking at the photo in Nina’s hand, Amelia was so furious his blood boiled, but he knew she had leverage over him. Enduring the severe pain in his shoulder, he said, "So it’s Miss Jacobs. This is all a misunderstanding."

Nina smiled. "Since it’s a misunderstanding, there’s no need to apologize to me."

Amelia gritted his teeth. He was the one who got hurt; why should he be the one apologizing? But he also knew that if they really started fighting again now, things would blow completely out of proportion. Moreover, he was no match for Nina.

So, he forced out a smile that looked worse than crying. "I’m sorry, Miss Jacobs. I was being reckless just now. But regarding today’s matter, could I ask you to keep it a secret for me? That photo..."

"A secret? I love keeping secrets for people," Nina interrupted Amelia, while a vicious Diamond Sand Spike materialized in her hand.

"Nina! You can’t kill him!" Even though Renee hadn’t witnessed Nina’s strength with her own eyes, she knew she was not someone to be trifled with anymore.

"What do you want?" Amelia asked, staring at the bizarre Stone Spike. It was clearly an Earth Element Superpower, yet the stone spike reflected specks of golden light. Grits of sand flowed around it, looking as though it could extend and impale a person’s entire body in an instant.

Sure enough, after he spoke, Nina retracted the superpower in her hand. "That depends on Mr. Vance’s sincerity... and capability," she replied.

"Nina, I know you’re still hung up over Liam Grant, but I’ve already broken up with him. Why are you still pestering me the moment you get back?" Renee simply couldn’t figure out why Nina would appear here, but she could tell that this was clear extortion!

"You’re just a mediocre Healer. What gives you the right to think I’d pester you? Hmm?" Nina said coldly.

While Renee gravitated toward the strong, she was also highly conscious of her own abilities. Calling her incompetent was the greatest insult of all. In her previous life, Renee had been a universally praised, top-tier Healer. A mere touch of her healing technique would have the treated patients weeping with gratitude. But now, her aptitude was completely ordinary, and tagging along with Liam had made her waste the prime opportunity to practice her healing technique. She couldn’t even land the most basic Healer position at the City D hospital.

Being called out by Nina made Renee’s face burn with humiliation. Even her rival from her previous life, Paisley Paige, had become an Intermediate Healer, while she was nothing at all. Therefore, she had to hold on tightly to Amelia Vance as her meal ticket!

"My token of sincerity will be delivered later. I hope Miss Jacobs will keep her promise today," Amelia said to Nina through gritted teeth.

"Sure. You two carry on." Nina walked out the stairwell door with her hands in her pockets.

This life was indeed quite different from her previous one. She had never expected Liam and Renee would break up. Regardless of whether they had ulterior motives, being able to extort a fortune right off the bat, while conveniently turning Renee into leverage against Amelia, wasn’t bad at all.
