The captured Levi was even more straightforward and brutal. This Chinese-American girl had a bad temper and a foul mouth, and the key point was that she was very stubborn. Machima initially liked her spirit of resistance, but after experiencing it too many times, she became a little annoyed and simply used her power of domination to subdue her. Now, although she is compliant, the downside is that she has lost a bit of the coercive fun.

The remaining Balalaika was the most exhausting. Because Machima loved this Russian leopard cat so much, she didn't use her dominance. Instead, she relied on Tomie's charm, along with constant coercion and enticement, to slowly achieve her goal...

"Comrade Captain, you wouldn't want your subordinates' families to fall into poverty, would you?"

"Captain, the United States' pursuit is not so easy to deal with. Why don't you bring all your men's families to Japan? Don't worry, this is my territory, and the United States will have to get lost."

“No, no, no, Captain Balalaika, how could I use your subordinates' families to blackmail you? They are your subordinates, and you are mine. I never mistreat my own people… Yes, of course we are on the same side…”

"What? The education of your subordinates' children? Hmm... that's easy to solve. But my cat can do backflips. How about I take you to see it tonight?"

"Don't worry, Balalaika, I never force anyone. I assure you this is the last time."

"I never expected you to come looking for me, my dear Balalaika~"

……

Well, anyway, that's it.

Furthermore, after succeeding, Machima discovered that the taste of the Slavic mature woman was indeed unique—her muscles, as wild as a big cat, and the scars all over her body were a delicacy that Machima had never tasted before.

More importantly, almost all the girls had tried their best to please Machima, but Balalaika, because of her own sense of self, coupled with a hint of resentment and half-heartedness, always treated Machima in a retaliatory way.

Among all those who still maintain their individuality, there is a similar attitude of being forced to accept love in the afterlife: "Since we can't resist, we might as well enjoy it as much as possible."

Balalaika, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking, "Since I'm going to be attacked anyway, I might as well attack back!"

Machima, who was no longer a mortal, surprisingly did not dislike Balalaika's rough methods; in fact, she felt a strange pleasure in them. As a result, she grew to love this big cat, who had suffered both physical and mental trauma, even more.

As for the remaining gains, it was an entire former Soviet VDV company.

Because his family is now under Machima's control, they do not need to be dominated to maintain a high level of loyalty.

Machima kept his promise to Balalaika and did not mistreat these elite retired soldiers. He arranged for them to receive a higher salary than when they were in the underworld, as well as a decent and easy job. Their families and children were also given new status in Japan and received generous treatment.

Nowadays, Balalaika's company has basically been divided into three groups: some will become instructors at the military academy that Machima is building, some will serve as advisors to Machima's private army, and some will retire and live a life of leisure on their pensions.

Balalaika, on the other hand, was quite dissatisfied with the fact that her company had been split up by Machima, and she had been venting her dissatisfaction on Machima for the past few nights.

After some fuss, everyone got out of bed.

After Balalaika woke up, she maintained her arrogant attitude towards Machima as always, and pulled Levi away—their main duties at present are to serve as the chief instructor and shooting instructor of the military academy—the current students are only eligible female agents selected from various places.

Meanwhile, Miss Hound changed into a maid outfit and began taking care of Machima's daily life.

In this respect, Miss Hound greatly reduced the pressure on the hardworking Ryoko Tamiya—the latter was able to free her energy from those trivial matters and concentrate on completing the tasks that Machima had assigned to her.

"What are the plans for today, Robert?"

While eating breakfast and enjoying Miss Hound's massage, Machima asked lazily.

"Yes, the list of a new batch of trainees has been drawn up. Some of them with outstanding appearances will join the maid guard you are building. You will need to exert your power over them to ensure their loyalty. Ideally, this should be completed before noon."

"uh-huh."

"In the afternoon, Ms. Tomie hopes you can visit her and says she would love to play outdoor play with you again like we did last time."

"Please decline for me, maybe next time."

"The three sisters, Laisheng, there are indications that they will likely leave Japan for Europe soon, which is very important..."

"Hmm... never mind, it's alright. If I remember correctly, they'll return to Japan empty-handed soon... anything else?"

“Your cousin Xiaolin left a message after calling last night, asking if you would like to go back with her for the New Year.”

"new year?"

Machima was slightly taken aback.

Is it almost Chinese New Year?

"Yes, today is December 23, 1996, and the Chinese New Year is about a week away."

Machima suddenly realized that she had never paid attention to the dates, but... it had indeed been almost half a year since she came into this world, which meant that time was passing normally...

But... if things are normal here, then what's going on with Conan?

Chapter 150 The Love of Cats

How exactly does Conan experience what seems like a normal timeline?

To find out the truth, Machima went to see Laisheng Lei that very day.

The roller coaster U-turn case that marked the birth of Conan Edogawa was only involved in by her and Rui Kisugi. Makima should ask her what she thinks about the passage of the past six months.

Um... By the way, let's fire a farewell shot—the three sisters of the next life will be leaving Japan soon.

I casually booked dinner at a high-end restaurant, and Sister Lei, who was invited, quickly came to the appointment. Today, she was wearing a sexy evening dress with a small shawl over it, and with her charming eyes, at first glance, she had a much more bad girl vibe than Machima.

Of course, to outsiders it seems like a scumbag older sister is inviting an innocent girl, but in reality it's a good sister being forced to feed the tiger with her body.

"You look so beautiful tonight..."

Machima praised her sincerely, while helping Laisheng Lei untie her outer shawl, revealing a soft and smooth silk midi skirt underneath.

Lai Sheng Lei laughed and said, "You probably say that to others every night, don't you?"

"No, it's usually other people who say that to me."

Lai Sheng Lei playfully flicked Machima's smug nose: "You heartbreaker~"

The latter shook his head without any shame: "I'm not fickle, it's just that my heart is broken into many pieces, and each piece has fallen in love with a different person."

Lai Sheng Lei ignored this and looked at Machima meaningfully: "Speaking of which, you haven't asked me out for a while. Did you go abroad recently?"

"Yes, I went to Thailand and saw a good show."

Lai Sheng Lei's eyes showed no surprise; she simply stared intently at Machima.

"So, you really were the one who did the Roanapura incident?"

Machima smiled slightly: "Guess?"

"I couldn't guess, but... if it really is you, then you'd better be very careful. All the intelligence agencies in the United States are currently searching for a woman named Kwang-hee like madmen, although..."

"—No, it's not me who needs to be careful, but your butler."

Machima interrupted the tears of the next life.

"I've heard that he's not exactly a peaceful person, but if he's really smart, he should know what it means to avoid getting burned. There are some games that a retired general like him can't afford to play."

“…” Lai Sheng Rui was silent for a while, then nodded. “I have already mentioned this to Uncle Yongshi. He doesn’t want to be your enemy. He… just wants to protect the three of us sisters.”

Machima snorted coldly: "As long as you come to my side, no one in this world can hurt you. The person who brought you news of your father Heinz was assassinated a couple of days ago, wasn't he? With just one word from you, I can easily take care of that so-called current German Chancellor."

"So, what's the price?"

"cost?"

Machima bent down and grabbed Laishenglei's foot tightly, refusing to let go.

"Don't you understand what the price will be?"

The latter was tickled by Machima's touch, but couldn't break free. After some playful fighting, he was pressed against the floor-to-ceiling glass.

"Isn't power a wonderful thing?"

While gently sniffing Lai Sheng Lei's hair, Machima gazed absently at the bustling concrete jungle below.

"Look, Sister Lei, if I were just an ordinary person, I probably wouldn't see such a view many times in my life, let alone be able to do whatever I want to a beauty like you..."

As Lai Sheng Rui felt Machima's increasingly unruly hands, she panicked—even though they were over a hundred meters in the air, but…

"Wait, at least not here..."

"It's alright, I've already told them that no one will bother us..."

Machima turned her head, pressed one hand against Laisheng Rui's head, forcing her to face her, then took the other's half-resisting lips into her mouth, sucking on the other's tongue tightly, licking, scraping, squeezing, and stirring it incessantly...

Soon, Sister Lei's long dress was lifted from her shoulders and slowly slid down to her ankles...

a few hours later

While lamenting, "I didn't know how good Sister Lei was when I was young, and I mistakenly regarded my second sister as a treasure," Machima gently stroked the beauty beside her.

"It feels like... time really flies. It's been almost half a year since we met, hasn't it?"

Lai Sheng Lei, who had finally recovered a little, looked at her with resentment:

"Meeting you is the worst thing that has ever happened to me."

"Do you remember that roller coaster ride? When was that...?"

"What happened less than six months ago?"

Lai Sheng Lei poked Machima's head.

"I think you're so distracted by these kinds of things that you're using all your brainpower on them, and now you're almost developing amnesia?"

Machima nodded and said seriously, "Remember what you said today, Tears. When you return from Europe empty-handed, I will ask you this question again."

"...?"

Lai Sheng Lei was confused by Machima's actions, but she still managed to grasp the key point.

"How...how do you know we'll come up empty-handed? Do you have any news about my father?"

Machima smiled and simply advised:

"Listen to me, give up on finding your father. No matter how hard you try, it won't work."

Tsukasa Hojo, the author of CatsEye, rushed to finish CatsEye and then moved on to City Hunter, so the whereabouts of the sisters' father remains a mystery.

Although Heinz wasn't definitively confirmed dead, he was in a Schrödinger's cat-like state. Even more critically, Hitomi, who was the central character of the story, would later suffer from viral meningitis and lose her memory. This led to the story ending with the female lead losing her memory, her biological father still missing, but the lovers finally getting together.

However, Lai Sheng Lei was clearly not going to give up just because of Machima's words. A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she still said firmly:

"As long as you don't give up, there will always be hope, I..."

"You have a severe father complex, tears."

"..."

Seeing the stunned Lai Sheng Lei, Machima simply shrugged and continued:

“I really admire you, Sister Lei, and I also sympathize with you. You are the only one among your sisters who lives in the past and is unwilling to move on…”

Machima, who has been mentored by several psychology masters, can easily analyze the origins of the tearful personality.

—The disappearance of her father and the death of her mother forced this pampered young lady to shoulder the heavy responsibility of caring for her two younger sisters and searching for her father all by herself.

She took on the responsibility, but her heart was no longer whole because of her father's disappearance. This is why she admires her brother-in-law so much—she can reminisce about the good times when her father was by her side when she was with Junfu, who is reliable in everything except catching cat demons.

"But... what about the future?"

Machima rolled over onto Laisheng Lei, pinning her down again while gently stroking her face.

"Although Xiaotong has a bit of an Oedipus complex, she already has a lover she'll never forget. Xiaoai is still young, but she'll find her own happiness sooner or later... But what are you going to do, Sister Lei? I find it hard to imagine how such an outstanding beauty like you will find your ideal partner..."

Lai Sheng Lei opened her mouth: "I..."

"Stay by my side, Sister Lei..."

Machima leaned down and kissed him again.

In this world, only I am worthy to give you happiness...

Chapter 151 Vermouth's New Mission

Lai Sheng Lei eventually left.

Not only her, but all three sisters boarded a flight to Europe, temporarily bidding farewell to Japan.

For them, who had finally found a clue to their father, a trip to Europe was absolutely necessary, even if Machima told them they wouldn't find any answers there.

Waking up early in the morning and looking at the empty bed beside her, Machima felt a little annoyed, but not too sad. She had too many women around her, and for someone she liked, it was better to preserve their original body and soul and savor them slowly in the future than to force her to control them.

As Machima, busy figuring out how to have some fun today, dialed Tamiya Ryoko's number while being served by Miss Hound: "Have any new subsidence incidents been discovered recently?"

“We’re receiving reports of unusual incidents from all over the country every day. Our investigators are checking these reports as thoroughly as possible, but… we haven’t been able to confirm anything yet, Lady Machima, but…”

"But what?"

“Shiho Miyano… I mean, Ai Haibara. A while ago, she went camping in the suburbs with Conan Edogawa, Professor Agasa, and a few classmates. Since you ordered that we only need to maintain minimal surveillance, we didn’t follow them closely… But… according to the information from the police afterwards, they seem to have stumbled upon another case—at a private estate in the suburbs of Tokyo.”

“A private estate?” Machima recalled for a moment. “That estate, isn’t it… a blue European-style castle?”

"Yes, although Conan Edogawa and the others were attacked by the perpetrator, no one was seriously injured..."
