BXBX NOVEL Chapter 509: Female Lead: Future Movie Queen
Rachel rubbed her forehead. " I thought I couldn\'t be forever hung over this matter. Dad probably would not like that."
" Besides, I believe Dad is in peace, in the heavens." She looked at the sky. " After all, he got the justice."
" Anyway…" Her friend looked at Rachel. " How about we go and eat outside today? Dinner is on me."
" Nah, No way! You are spending money for us?"
" Hey! I am not that stingy!"
" Nope, Thanks guys. But I don\'t think I can join tonight." Rachel gave a wry smile. " I have some things to do."
" Aww, That sucks…"
Rachel quickly added. " But next Saturday, how about we go somewhere? "
" Waterpark! I wanna go there!"
" Yep, That should be good." Rachel nodded as she bid farewell to her friends.
\' Ugh, I am really feeling tired. My body is so cramped. Is it because I used that power too much?\'
\' However…It was worth it. Avenging my father, how could I not do that?\'
\' But still…I killed someone.\' Rachel looked at her palms. She could feel them tremoring lightly.
After all, she did quite some illegal things with her newfound powers. However, killing a human was still something she couldn\'t bear at all.
However, at that moment, her phone rang.
" Is it Miss Rachel?"
" Yes? Who is this speaking?"
" Perhaps you are free for a meeting?"
" I am sorry, But I can\'t…"
" It\'s regarding the little event that happened yesterday in Seawind Company."
Rachel\'s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. " I… I don\'t know what you are talking about…"
" Let\'s meet at the nearby cafe in one hour."
Before Rachel could reply anything, the call ended. \' Damn it! Who is that person? How could they know…\'
\' Should I take the chance? The Seawind Corporation…It\'s a very big company. What\'s more, Should I even use my power in public? I haven\'t registered in the government database at all.\'
\' Rachel, Calm down. You don\'t need to get worried over anything. Let\'s meet him first.\'
Getting ready, Rachel arrived at the designated cafe on time. The cafe was one of the sophisticated cafes in the locality, the interior was rather luxurious and comfy.
There weren\'t many people in the cafe at that time. However, Rachel\'s eyes caught the sight of a handsome blonde young man.
If she had to describe in short, Rachel would say that he looks handsomely young yet strangely mature.
Suddenly, their eyes met, making Rachel shiver a bit. A small smile spread on the blonde\'s lips when he saw that. Rachel didn\'t say anything and simply sat before him.
" You…"
" Please wait a bit. The order should be arriving now." The young man smiled. Rachel was a bit surprised when she heard that.
" You ordered for both of us?"
" No need to worry. I believe you will like it."
Before the young man could finish speaking, a waitress came with their orders.
" Flakey cinnamon croissant with mocha latte with black chocolate sticks on top." The blonde young man explained lightly.
" I hope it\'s to your liking?"
Rachel\'s eyes narrowed when she heard that. " Since when you were stalking me?"
" Stalking? My, That\'s a rather bold word." The young man feigned shock.
" In this age of technology, to know someone\'s preference, stalking isn\'t required. Unless visiting your public social media profile counts as one."
Rachel pursed her lips as she took a sip from her drink. She wanted to retort, but she couldn\'t find any reason for it.
\' Mhm…This tastes really good.\'
" I apologize for calling you out of nowhere. I am Jonathan Veneto." Jun Tianyun introduced himself.
" Veneto…You are relative of Jane Veneto?" Rachel\'s eyes squinted when she heard that.
" You are quite perceptive, Miss Rachel." Jun Tianyun stirred his choco marshmallow coffee.
" I am the one who revealed the information of your father\'s death to you."
Rachel was shocked when she heard that. " I-It was you? Wh-Why me? You could have gone to the police."
" Well, There were quite a few reasons, Miss Rachel." Jun Tianyun hummed. " You know the world of rich and luxury. Unless some special forces come to investigate, your father\'s murder would not have been caught and punished."
" Not to mention, I certainly didn\'t want a blessed of an ancient power to come after my elder sister because of a misunderstanding."
" Wh-What? How did you…" Rachel almost spit out her drink when she heard that. The amulet she got was a complete secret. No one other than her knows about its existence.
" No need to be so scared, Miss Rachel. You are not the only one with strange powers here." Jun Tianyun chuckled as he took a bite of the croissant. " Mhm, They really make these very good."
" So, What do you want?" Rachel asked in bated breath. " You want to blackmail me."
" I believe in mutual cooperation." Jun Tianyun smiled. " You help me and I help you, and both don\'t backstab each other."
The bright golden halo around Rachel made him slightly surprised. However, Jun Tianyun simply turned off his Eyes of Fortune and continued.
" Besides, I have quite a lot of ways to help you. So, feel free before me."
" You are talking about mutual cooperation, yet only talking about the benefits I shall be getting." Rachel looked at Jun Tianyun. " What is it that you are getting from this?"
" Does it matter? I just want to help you." Jun Tianyun blinked. " There is an offer for you."
" What is it?"
" Would you like to be my secretary?" Jun Tianyun asked with a smile.
" Secretary? You want me to work in Seawind Corporation?" Rachel frowned.
" Not there. I haven\'t made any company yet. But looking at your academic performance, I believe you are good for this."
Rachel was at a loss when she heard that. However, Jun Tianyun wasn\'t finished there. " Of course, I will give you ample time for your nightly activities."
Rachel glared at Jun Tianyun. " Nightly activities? That sounds rather ambiguous."
" Haha, Is that so?" Jun Tianyun chuckled.
" Anyway, You heard me. I would support your activities and keep the authorities away from you. After all, I doubt any governmental body likes mutant vigilantes on the loose."
Rachel grimaced when she heard that. She already noticed police were subtly trying to find her after she robbed quite a few gangsters.
" Anyway, I have said what I wanted to say. If you make your decision, You can call me on my number."
Rachel sat there broodingly as Jun Tianyun got up and left. Her hands gently caressed the golden pendant hiding in her dress, a dark crescent moon symbol on a golden bead.
Suddenly, her phone rang, making Rachel break from her thoughts.
" Liz, What happened?"
" Hurry up and come to the Yellowstone Studio! There is something urgent here."

Meanwhile, Jun Tianyun lit up a cigar when he walked out of the building.
" Well, I didn\'t expect to meet a Female Lead out of nowhere." Jun Tiantun puffed out a cloud of smoke as he looked at the Status Window before him.

\' Mhm, So she is destined to become a top grade movie star in the daytime, and a superheroine in the night time? Color me surprise.\'
\' The pendant of Nyx looks like a powerful item. I should get my hands on that.\'
Jun Tianyun made some plans in his mind before driving to the Elysian High.
