Chapter 259 Unknown Curse II
The moment Black Jade, who had been resting with eyes closed, opened its eyes, Rita also saw Rick's current attributes and his trust level toward her.

Before Rita could fully grasp Rick's attributes, her eyes landed on his right hand, which was busy applying oil to Black Jade. Two of his fingers were missing, and his arm was riddled with deep gouges, clear signs of being clawed by Flood Dragon.
Moreover, under the moonlight, snake scales could faintly be seen on Rick's face and body, giving him a monstrous, frightening appearance, especially with his exhausted face.
Rita felt a strange satisfaction at that moment, a satisfaction even greater than when she successfully stole Rick's talent!
This was how it should be! Rick deserved to suffer more than she did, more than Zoey Sanchez, or even the Taylor family siblings!
Rita silently set down her McSpicy Chicken Burger, suddenly losing her appetite, and gestured for Brooks to continue.
"There are also a lot of people trying to buy her legion order news, but she's been in seclusion. She hardly ever comes out anymore. She used to occasionally take Nivalis out to shop, but now no one knows where she is. Even her mansion seems to be empty. Probably... Well, that's another story. That news is expensive, though, so you need to pay first."
Rita pulled out 2 gold coins and handed them to Brooks. She understood what Brooks meant. Information about Lania Kaia wasn't something she'd sell easily, especially not at a low price.
Rita waved her hand, signaling she wasn't interested in that expensive information and handed over another note: "Any other news?"
Brooks: "Do you want news about her parents?"
The white cat nodded.
Brooks: "They joined a faction in B City called 'Wildfire'. There's a massive conflict between that faction and the Wilson Family in B City, but I don't know the details. I'm not very familiar with the situation in B City. This news is free, though."
Rita nodded in acknowledgment.
Brooks continued: "Rick's whereabouts are just as hard to trace. His location and Black Jade's are now under 24/7 surveillance by the Special Affairs Bureau. I don't have much to sell about him."
"As for The Lopez Family, Zoey has practically split off from them. It's not exactly a separation, more like she's half-independent now. She's formed her own team and gained partial rights to the Lopez Family's dungeon mirrors, but she still lives in their mansion. Many people in the Lopez Family are complaining about Zoey being cold and unapproachable, but Matthew has kept it quiet."
If Matthew really had quieted it down, Brooks wouldn't know about it, and she wouldn't have made a point of telling Rita. Rita could see through this; Matthew was just playing the surface game. From the outside, Zoey seemed like someone who couldn't let go of her past. The more she couldn't let go, the more she tried to prove herself to others. It was pitiful.
After a moment of thought, Rita pushed 3 gold coins toward Brooks, feeling content with the news. Even if she personally visited the Lopez Family, she wouldn't be able to easily uncover this information anytime soon.
"Mateo got hit in the face with boss venom while raiding a dungeon. His face got disfigured. The Lopez Family is searching for top-tier treatment, and they'll pay any price."
"The White Family has been in private contact with Zoey, but I couldn't find out more."
"Recently, there have been players with snake scales all over their bodies appearing in the White Family. Their attributes have significantly increased, and they've gained some powerful new skills. The Special Affairs Bureau is investigating this."
