Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second
Chapter 375: Missteps in Flattery
+8 Pearls
Ever since Bellamy, along with his Red Jackals crew, had clung to Olivia’s coattails, their daily routines had shifted from looting homes to becoming extras for the film crew of “Legacy of the Dynasty.” From dressing up in costumes to act as random passersby, cannon fodder, thugs, and bandits, to distributing lunch boxes and cleaning up for the rest of the crew, they truly had a change of heart and were trying to start anew. Without earning a single penny, they even spent their own money.
Almost forgetting he was once part of a dubious gang, Bellamy received shocking news from Blondie early this morning. Someone was offering a hefty sum for the Red Jackals to handle a problem.
In an instant, as Bellamy handed out lunch boxes, the animal tattoo over his shoulder seemed to burn hotter. He quickly had Blondie bring the person to him. Big shots needed support, and they couldn’t neglect their primary jobs. A man in his thirties, dressed in a sharp suit, approached Bellamy with respect.
“Is this the leader of the Red Jackals? I’ve heard much about your formidable presence in this generation…”
Bellamy found the flattery quite pleasant. Despite a setback with the film crew, the Red Jackals still held a reputation on the streets.
“Do you have a task for us to handle?”
The man nodded and pulled out a stack of cash, placing it on the table. “I do have a favor to ask. Here’s a deposit, and I’ll add ten times more upon completion.”
Bellamy noted the man’s generous offer.
“It seems like you need significant help?”
“It’s nothing major, just need the Red Jackals to take care of someone for me,” the man replied.
Bellamy, “A small matter! Just eliminating one person, right? How do you want it done – cut off his leg or chop off his arms?”
“No need for that, I just want the Red Jackals to disfigure a woman’s face,” the man stated.
“A woman? Disfigurement?” Bellamy was slightly surprised, as this type of petty task was new to them.
The man continued, “Yes, rest assured, she’s currently within your territory.”
Seeing the cash, Bellamy didn’t argue. “It’s simple, we’ll just use acid… But first, you need to tell me where she is and what she looks like, to avoid hitting the wrong target.”

Seeing Bellamy agree so readily, the man’s eyes lit up and he pulled out a photograph, handing it to Blondie. “This is the woman.”
Blondie casually took the photo and was about to pass it to Bellamy when he caught a glimpse of the woman’s face. Just one look, and Blondie was stunned. He stood frozen, staring at the photo.
Bellamy coughed lightly, annoyed at Blondie acting as if he’d never seen a woman before, and snatched the photo. “What are you dazing out about? Haven’t seen a woman or what…”
Bellamy was scolding when his eyes swept over the photo. His mind buzzed, struck by thunder. What the heck? Is this client joking with them?
