QT: Against My Will

202 4.26 – Ready to fight – Dangerous Angels

Sitting on the bed, Ru Quan crossed his leg and started to communicate with Kuro. Fei Lan could teleport. Reincarnation and transmigration were possible. Everything was enough of a proof that supernatural things existed in this world. Bing Shi tried to recall her ability from the apocalypse but failed, thinking she needed a special body for it. She was too busy to dwell on this matter and threw it at the back of her mind. That’s until Kuro returned with a message that Fei Lan used something from another world.

The scroll wasn’t like this phone. It was a one-time use item. It was highly possible that what was bound to Fei Lan’s soul was a space, which she acquired from a world where such things as soul-binding were possible.

A month ago...

While the girls were training for their debut, Hasan had to come up with an idea of how to spread his intelligence network. But this man feared his Highness so much that he came up with a big fart. Creating a secret organization wouldn’t escape his Highness’s sharp eyes. Hasan suggested they use courtesans to gather information from their clients. At most, he could train some of his slaves as spies.

Nothing was good enough to satisfy this angel. She wanted something more simple yet complex.

These past two months, Bing Shi gave an invitation to the most famous wineries, restaurants, tea houses, pottery shops, clothing stores, bakeries, tobacco shops, and many more. Her money was depleting at a rapid pace, she refused to wait until it reached zero. She needed sponsors.

When a middle-aged man, the owner of a high-end restaurant, arrived before the gates of the brothel, he was greeted by an entourage of breathtaking beauties on each side of a red carpet. Bewildered, a holy voice woke him up from the overwhelming stupor.

“Sir, may we see your invitation, please?” asked Aine.

The owner gave the invitation to Aine robotically.

.....

After Aine checked his invitation, she opened her eyes in surprise, “May Mr. Fuo Wei follow this one to the meeting room.”

Aine’s respectful manner after her shocked expression raised Fuo Wei’s ego to the air. Nodding his head in satisfaction, he followed after the girl.

On the outside, the building didn’t look any different from other four-story brothels. But passing by the lobby with ornate detailing, Fuo Wei gaped at the splendid sight. The domed ceiling rose above the stage in the middle at least 50 feet high. Above the stage were separated private rooms, connected by a spiral stairway. The colors were in the palette of gold, to rich redwood. Lanterns and plants hang from the massive pillars. All of this was complemented by the onshore breeze that brought a pleasant fragrance to the whole facility.

Reaching the highest floor, they stopped before an office. Aine led Fu Wei inside, after seating him before a massive desk, she silently stood next to Bing Shi.

“Welcome to our humble abode, Mr. Fu Wei,” Bing Shi made a small curtsy, “Please, forgive my master’s absence, for he believes that Sir would rather speak to a young maiden rather than an old, ugly him.”

“Good! Good!” Fu Wei laughed at Hasan’s way of doing things. He had a great feeling about this one, “So? Why did he invite me here?”

Sitting down, Bing Shi lifted her head, her eyes flickered like flaming torches, “Isn’t Mr. Fu Wei curious what Heaven on Earth would look like? Master wants to create an unforgettable experience for his clients. For that, he needs the best of the best...”

Fu Wei’s smile keep growing of its own accord. It’s as if there was a trail of gasoline in his veins, and Bing Shi had the only match. Letting it spark, she switched on his excitement, “What about others?”

“Everything is still under construction, but Sir could notice the exquisite furniture from Han’s estate, the ones, who crafted his Majesty’s throne. This wine...” Bing Shi left him guessing as she poured him a glass of wine from the most famous winery. She met one person at a time. As a lone man, he was less likely to be demanding. She didn’t want a group of men ganging up on her.

After Fu Wei left, Bing Shi collapsed on the chair and closed her eyes, “Come out.” It wasn’t the first time she had to suggest her ideas and projects to others. But managing everything alone was a bit tiring. To meet the deadline, she had to keep her beautiful image while skipping lots of sleep at the same time. It was no different from fighting the bad weather when managing the construction of a multimillion-dollar project. No matter what one did, something would always go wrong.

A small group of girls with notes in their shaking hands appeared from behind a secret passage. Their eyes filled with fear. Here it comes. Tian Shi’s rain of questions. Every time they did something wrong, a deadly silence would follow, making them feel more and more incompetent.

“I can feel your fear from far afar. Is it so hard to smile?” Bing Shi opened one eye to have a look, “Smile!”

Shuddering, her harsh tone strangled the air around the girls. Bing Shi was making sure that they get used to the stress when under someone above them. Especially from a person, they respected with all their hearts. It was for their own good. They had been there before, they knew the feeling, and knowing it made it less scary. Putting all the feelings aside, the girls’ lips automatically raised into a beautiful arc.

Unknown to all, Bing Shi was creating a deep web of connections.

‘When there’s no secrecy, there’s no suspicion.’

Amassing the wealthies, she persuaded them to take part in this grand plan. It was not easy to find and train capable people. To save herself from it, she let Fu Wei, whose product had the best reputation, open a branch right in this brothel. This went for all the other owners, who’d send over their workers. As a middle man, everything would have to pass through her first.

In the near future, when doing business, having a beautiful Tianshi behind you was a must.

They’ll become a new status symbol of a man.

Sadly, they’ll still be viewed as an item.

For the time being, of course.
