Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Even then, the second Young Master’s expression hadn’t changed a slightest bit. The sly snake maintained his perfectly crafted smile when he saw him drinking the tea mixed with drugs just now.

However, his goal was plainly obvious as he suddenly changed the topic.

"Ah, is it fine if I invite my sister here? The talk about the plan won’t advance without her, the commander of the attacking army."

Leo narrowed his eyes slightly at the request but he nodded nonetheless. He pretended that the drug was working.

"I don’t mind."

"Good. Just wait here then. I will tell her to come here."

Tang Yao called a guard that stood outside the room before saying something in a soft voice. After that, the guard left in a hurry.

It only took him 3 minutes to return, followed by a girl walking behind him with a pale face and empty eyes. Her cold expression showed no emotion whatsoever as she entered the room.

"Second Brother... What is it?"

"Soso..." Tang Yao muttered with concern in his voice, "Are you okay? You don’t look good at all."

The eldest daughter of Tang Clan walked unsteadily toward where they sat and sat beside Tang Yao. Her face was slightly flushed red. The cold demeanor he saw the first time was nowhere to be seen.

"I was just... under the weather. What do you need me for, Second Brother?"

Tang Yao didn’t seem to care about what she just said as he proceeded to explain everything to her about what he talked about with Leo earlier.

Leo paid attention to him while trying his best to ignore Tang Soso’s pitiful figure. The large rod was still inside her body based on his scan. Did they have such a weird fetish? He was disgusted.

’What kind of people do that? Only scum. Ah, I would reject the request if not for the fact my plan need me to do this. I don’t mind working under evil people. But scum like him? This is the worst.’ He complained in his mind.

When the explanation was finished, Tang Soso nodded slowly and looked at Leo with a feverish gaze.

"When are you and your friends ready to escort the Second Brother? We need to travel as fast as possible."

"Well..." Leo put on a thoughtful expression as he thought for a moment before answering her question, "In 2 days... Or 3 days if our preparation has not been finished yet."

After considering it a little, and seeing Tang Clan’s army, Leo thought that he would only need one person to accompany him. Jessica would be perfect for this kind of job. So the preparation wouldn’t take that long.

’If she uses the vehicle I left in the base, she will be able to reach Qin City in less than 2 days.’ He thought. ’But let’s not say that. I still need to prepare something using the remaining time.’

"3 days... My apologies, but where is your home located?"

Tang Yao seemed to have considered something before asking him where their base was located. However, Leo simply waved his hand with a smile on his face as he answered in a cheerful tone.

"No need to apologize before asking. Our base is in Chengdu for now. That’s why it will take some time to prepare everything."

"Chengdu?! And you only need 3 days to prepare?"

The second Young Master sounded surprised at Leo’s reply.

"Is there anything wrong with my answer?"

"No." Tang Yao shook his head and chuckled softly after calming down, "I am just surprised you lived so far away from here yet can prepare in such a short notice. It’s impressive."

The sly snake secretly smiled and mumbled something.

Leo smiled sheepishly and waved his hand, He didn’t miss what he saw. And Tang Soso’s attempt to seduce him by pulling her skirt also didn’t escape his eyes, although he commanded his smart lenses to block it from his view.

’At least let her have the last dignity remaining.’

It was an act of pity.

"Not so much. More importantly, I’d like to hear the details of the plan so I can prepare accordingly. Let me put this bluntly. Are you going on a business trip or a war now that the situation has changed?"

Silence followed his question. Tang Soso looked at him and broke the silence afterward.

"We’re going to attack."

She answered in a monotonous tone, like she had no interest in the discussion at all. Her eyes were empty as she stared at him like a broken puppet who had lost all emotions.

Seeing her condition, Tang Yao quickly took over, "Let me explain. We need you to escort us because we have been preparing for a long time. The original plan is just a normal business trip but... something happened so we need to change it. The Elders of our Clan are furious now."

He sighed and clenched his fist tightly with anger showing in his eyes, "They will exact revenge on those bastards who had offended us. Will you still escort me through the battlefield? I believe the contract we have stated that you would help me reach my destination safely."

Leo nodded slowly as he heard his answer.

’Well, just as I expected.’

Hiring him with a guise of escorting and then changing the content of the destination at the last minute. Leo was used to this kind of trick. And he actually knew about Tang Yao’s plan before he signed the contract.

’I will still have the right to choose 3 items from Green Forest Bandit. The purpose of the mission is to ’protect’ Tang Yao until he reaches his destination safely. After that, the contract is over.’

And the destination is Shaanxi province. To reach that, they had to cross the border where Green Forest Bandit’s base was located according to rumors and reports. That’s why Leo didn’t refuse their offer.

"We will help you reach Shaanxi’s province with success." Leo answered confidently as he reached out his hand to Tang Yao, "Just as stated in the contract I made with you."

The second Young Master smiled happily as he took his hand and shook it firmly.

"I’d love to hear that. Now, let me tell you the details of the plan."

After that, Tang Yao explained when they would depart and which direction they would take before asking Leo to leave since he had to do something for his brother’s funeral.

The first Young Miss of Tang Clan kept attempting to seduce him but to no avail. They didn’t realize the poison had no effect on him. But he kept on acting to extract more information.

Leo could only nod obediently before leaving the place with the information he got from him. He understood his limit as a hired mercenary and left the Tang manor quietly with a satisfied smile on his face.

His mission here was accomplished. Now, he just needed to wait for 2 more days for everything to go well with his plan.

He fished his communication device once he was out of the guard’s sight and contacted Jessica.

"Jessica, come to Qin City. This job is ours to take. I allow you to use that to get here faster. And bring me my weapon. Just in case."

"Yes, Leader."

With that, he cut off the line before returning to his inn.
