57 Deal

The man smiled coldly and took a step back. He raised his hand and gestured for his subordinates to untie Sean.

“Brother Sean, how are you?” The mercenary ran in from behind the door and supported Sean, whose arms and legs were numb.

“I’m fine.” Sean covered the wound on his finger bone with trembling hands and slowly moved to Shi Man’s side. “Boss, we can’t stay here for long.”

“If you have something to say, say it quickly. I’m in a hurry.” Shi Man knew the man’s identity, but this part of the plot could not be mentioned in the book. She needed to know the man’s true motive.

Recalling the mission that Immaculate had received to gather rare medicinal herbs on the way here, she could vaguely guess the other party’s intentions, but she did not know why he insisted on engaging her.

As expected, after hearing her words, the man relaxed and sat back in his chair. He said slowly, “I want to ask you to help me with something. I want the Ice Fragment Grass. Coincidentally, only your Azure Dragon Gang knows where this thing is.”

“I’m afraid it’s more than that.” Shi Man sneered and lowered her arm that was holding the silver spear. She said calmly, “Since you can kidnap Sean openly, you don’t have to lure me out. Just let them do it for you.”

The man’s eyes were slightly cold as his gaze slowly landed on her smooth hand. He forced a mocking smile. “How about we make a deal? Give me the piece of land where the Ice Fragment Grass grows and I’ll give you 50% of the newly obtained armament.”

“Boss, you can’t agree!” Sean was afraid that Shi Man did not know the value of that piece of land and would easily promise it to others. He quickly explained, “There is far more than one treasure on that piece of land. We can’t let others take advantage of it for nothing.”

Of course, Shi Man did not intend to sell her territory so cheaply. She sneered and said, “You want that thing to treat an illness? I see that the corners of your lips are pale. You must have been poisoned. If I can cure the poison, give me all the ordnance in this factory and give me five boxes of ordnance every month.”

“You?” The mercenary in the darkness on the right raised his pistol and pointed it at Shi Man, trying to force her to agree to his boss’s request.

Unexpectedly, Shi Man reacted extremely quickly and disappeared from her previous position in the blink of an eye. By the time the person realized it, he had already been kicked in the stomach by Shi Man. He was in so much pain that he lay on the ground and could not stand up.

“You! How dare you!” Before the mercenary could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and grabbed her pants weakly.

Shi Man snorted coldly. When she saw the wound on Sean’s hand, a cold glint flashed across her eyes. She raised her leg and mercilessly crushed his finger. She only moved her foot away impatiently when she heard the sound of bones breaking on the ground.

“It’s an eye for an eye.” Shi Man looked up at the man who was still sitting steadily in the darkness, not worried that he would be angered by her.

Although this detail was only briefly mentioned in the original book, Shi Man still remembered the man’s fatal weakness. He had been infected with an extremely rare heat poison since he was young. Every time his illness acted up, the blood in his entire body was like magma that flowed throughout his entire body.

And the only thing in the book that could save him was the rumored Ice Fragment Grass that had never appeared in the world.

He was just lucky that she happened to know how to treat this rare disease. Of course, her price would not be cheap.

“Interesting, I promise you.” The man waved his hand and dismissed her. He crossed his legs and smiled playfully at the woman whose aura was not inferior to his. “How are you going to treat me?”

“Wait for me here alone tomorrow night.” Shi Man turned around and left with Sean and the mercenary.

When they returned to their base, Shi Man lifted Sean’s clothes to check his injuries.

Seeing that she was looking at him seriously, Sean could only swallow his saliva and wait for her to take a closer look before hurriedly putting on his clothes. “I’m fine, Boss. I just had a fight with them and suffered a small injury.”

“Okay, bring the herbs over tomorrow. I’ll teach you how to brew the herbs and prepare a set of silver needles.” After confirming that he was really fine, Shi Man stood up and instructed.

“Boss, are you really going to detoxify him?” Sean’s jaw dropped in disbelief. “Are you a miracle doctor?”

“I just know a little.” Shi Man did not want to explain. After explaining the rest, she asked the mercenary who had picked her up to drive her back.

In the abandoned factory, the man slowly walked into the moonlight. He raised his hand and took off his mask, revealing a pale face. He looked in the direction Shi Man had left and muttered softly, “How many more secrets do you have that I’ve never discovered, my fiancée?”

It was silent in the Shi family’s manor. Only the faint chirping of cicadas could be heard.

Shi Man skillfully entered the house and noticed the footsteps of a person pacing outside the door.

She changed into her pajamas, hid her gun and dagger, and opened the door with a sleepy expression.

Shi He was feeling extremely hungry, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time. He thought that his sister was asleep. Just as he was thinking about whether he should wake her up, the door opened from the inside.

As if he had seen his savior, he suddenly pounced over and grabbed Shi Man’s arm. “Good sister, make me supper.”
