The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

Immaculate

Sean nodded. From now on, Shi Man would be their boss.

“Apart from accepting mercenary missions, do you have any other sources of funds?” Shi Man asked again.

Sean shook his head. “Nothing else. We’re an organized and disciplined mercenary group, not just any small organization.”

Shi Man understood. “Then this shouldn’t be your base camp, right?”

“Right,” Sean said. “This is just one of the strongholds. Storage points are usually used for transition and there are rest stops to complete missions in the city. Our camp is in City M because most of the missions are concentrated in Southeast Asia. It’s more convenient to operate from City M.”

City M was located at the border of Country Z, not far from City G. Compared to the extremely urban City G, City M was more like a small city on the border that had yet to be fully developed. There were all kinds of people there, and it had the largest black market in Country Z.

“Then how many people are there in the mercenary group?” Shi Man needed to know this organization well.

With the abilities of Sean’s mercenaries, they would be a great killing weapon if they were used well.

“There are about three hundred of us. Other than the brothers stationed in M City and our brothers here, some of us are out on other missions.” Sean thought for a moment and added, “This time, the ones who came with me are the core brothers in the regiment.”

Shi Man knew that he was telling her that as long as everyone on their side acknowledged her, the other mercenaries would be easy to deal with.

Mercenaries had always been loyal and only cared about money. Although she had become their boss, they would not be too calculative if she did not restrain them and did not hinder their way of earning money.

“That’s it then. You guys continue doing your things. If you want to contact me in the future, just come to the house.” With that, Shi Man left the warehouse and disappeared into the night.

She would let them digest what happened today internally.

She was also a little tired. She had done so much just after her rebirth. She had to rest well.

After the encounter, Shi Man returned to the Shi family residence.

Shi Man was about to go upstairs when she heard movement from the kitchen. She walked closer and saw that Shi Jing was doing something.

“What are you doing?” Shi Man leaned close to Shi Jing and whispered in her ear.

Shi Jing did not notice Shi Man’s approach and was shocked. The soup spoon in her hand fell to the ground. “Xiao, Xiao Man, it’s you. I’m making soup for Third Brother. He just said that he’s a little hungry. I want to make him some supper.”

Shi Jing’s timid look was completely different from before.

Previously, she was always either obsequious or disdainful in front of Shi Man, but she was never afraid. It seemed that Shen Xian’s slap had temporarily restrained her.

Shi Man glanced at the chicken soup simmering on the fire. If she remembered correctly, Third Brother liked what Shi Jing made because Shi Jing added drugs to his food.

In the novel, not only did Shi Jing want to replace Shi Man, but she also had a good impression of Shi Jue and Shi He, who were the best-looking.

As a lawyer, Shi Jue was too sharp. So Shi Jing picked Shi He. By feeding him the food she had drugged, Shi He gradually became addicted and could not leave her.

It seemed that she was going to use the same trick today.

Shi Man raised her eyebrows. “Alright, continue.”

When she got close to Shi Jing just now, she wanted to see if she had done anything to the soup. Now, it seemed that she had not had the time to put it in the soup, but with her sharp nose, she could already smell the drug on Shi Jing.

This was an addictive drug. Overconsumption could even cause hallucinations. After taking it for a short period of time, the person would feel abnormally clear-headed. Dopamine would be secreted in large quantities, creating an illusion of pleasure.

Shi Jing wanted to make Shi He think that he had fallen in love with her food.

Shi Man still didn’t know how far Shi He had taken it. She could only put the matter aside for the time being and not stop him. Otherwise, if he suddenly stopped taking the drug and something went wrong in front of the public, it would be a devastating blow to his career.
