Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

"Find him! No matter what happens, find him!" The Alliance Leader, Xue Wang, shouted with a booming voice that shook the entire building.

After hearing that his adoptive daughter was kidnapped, by none other than the Mercenary Union's Leader, his anger burst out. His Qi became uncontrollable, subduing lower Stars martial artists in the area.

Glasses shattered, tables were flipped, and the ceiling started to crack.

Many unconscious people could be seen littering the ground, their Qi drained.

"Damn that bastard! I will rip his throat and feed it to the dogs!"

He was not in the right mind.

The only reason why he was not completely gone was that his subordinates were there to calm him down. The Elders in the Alliance were able to withstand the pressure and slowly calmed him down.

"Master, please calm down. There's no need for rash actions."

"Please, master. We have sent the Shadow Squad to go after him. We will find him soon."

"No one can escape the Capital City. We have our informants and spies everywhere. We will find him."

Xue Wang could feel the pain in his chest. It was as if his heart was about to explode.

"Find him quickly. How dare he... Not only does he want to make an enemy of Murim Alliance, but he also dares to kidnap my daughter! What's the guard doing? How could they allow him to enter our Capital?!"

"We're looking into it, Master. Please, just calm down."

"Calm down? How can I calm down when the most important person in my life is missing?!"

With that, Xue Wang could no longer contain his rage.

All his plans were ruined, and his precious daughter was taken away. He didn't know what Leo was thinking, but he could guess.

"That bastard! I will skin him alive and feed him to the dogs!"

Xue Wang raised his fist and swung it toward the wall. The power of the punch was so strong that the wall was destroyed and left a huge hole. It showed how angry and dangerous the man was.

"Find him! And, bring him to me alive! I want to see him suffer for what he has done!"

"Yes, sir!"

All Elders that shouldered the burden of the Alliance nodded and bowed. They understood that their leader was not in his right mind.

It was not a good time to argue or disagree.

They knew that, and they would follow their leader's orders to the end.

Soon, the hall became empty, leaving Xue Wang alone sitting on his chair with his face buried in his hands. He didn't show it in front of his subordinates, but he was scared.

He was scared that his beloved daughter would never come back.

If that happened, then his real plan would be ruined, and the power he had worked so hard to obtain would be for naught.

He couldn't let that happen.

Not after everything he had done.

"Don't worry, my daughter. I will save you... I will save you and advance to 9 Stars. All for the sake of our... My future as a Martial God."

He whispered, his eyes filled with determination.

"That's fucked up." Leo's honest comment escaped his lips as he sat next to Jessica on bed.

As soon as he returned to the inn, he immediately put up his Yang Ji persona again and half-forced Sherly to tell him the truth behind her desperate attempt to escape the Murim Alliance.

"Are you sure it's not your imagination?" Jessica asked, narrowing her eyes in suspicion. "I've heard you're a writer. You must be imagining a dramatic story to entertain the public."

"Hahaha. I do have a great imagination but not this time. I can even tell you why I thought he planned to use me as a fume to advance to 9 Stars. He wanted my talent to create a new martial art just by using my imagination. Maybe you can call it my transmigrator privilege? Yes, I like the sound of that."

"That sounds ridiculous. You have an overactive imagination."

Jessica crossed her arms and sighed. She was not convinced at all.

But, Leo slightly believed what Sherly said, especially since she had reached 6 Stars in a year with a martial art she created herself.

Transmigrator privilege. Leo believed such a thing existed from all the stories and webnovels he read. If he was asked what his transmigrator privilege was, then it would be the Main Cube, his futuristic equipment, and the subordinates that came with him.

'A higher power... Should I call the unknown entity 'IT' or should I call that a 'God'? I wonder if they watch me and think we're characters in a novel, a miniature world, or something else.'

When he thought about that, he couldn't help but scoff.

This world was so absurd that anything could be true.

He didn't believe in the supernatural or anything like that. But, after coming here, he knew that there was a chance.

"Let's say that you did have a transmigrator privilege to create martial art based on your imagination." Leo said, crossing his legs, "How did you know and sure that you're able to help him to reach 9 Stars, the highest level of Martial Arts in this world?"

"I had a feeling. He treated me like a tool. A useful one. So, I guessed that he must have something in mind, especially when I started practicing martial arts. His eyes were full of greed when he watched me creating one martial art after another. And then, at one point..." Stay tuned with empire

Sherly took a deep breath, as if she was trying to calm herself.

"...he asked me to create a powerful technique that can break through the limit of 7 Stars and reach 8 Stars soon. That was when I knew that he adopted me because he wanted to use my talent."

Her eyes were sad, but her voice was calm and determined.

"So, I told him that creating a new martial art was impossible, and the only way to do that was to unlock a hidden potential or a dormant power. I was able to get time with that, and when I saw an opportunity, I ran away."

She smiled bitterly and turned her gaze to Leo, "I knew I couldn't do it by myself. That's why I sought you out. Well, I had said my real goal. Unfortunately, you won't get the ransom money, though."

"That's okay. I didn't really need it anyway." Leo answered casually, waving his hand, "I've got a lot of money now. Besides, now I want you for something else."

"Ha-hahaha... I expected it. You are a mercenary, right? I know how they work." Sherly laughed and rose to her feet.

For some reason, she approached him and swept her hair back.

At first, Leo looked confused at what she planned. However, when she crouched between his legs and looked up, he knew what she was about to do.

"Keep your crotch closed, pervert."

Jessica, who had been quiet the whole time, suddenly spoke. Her fingers moved and Sherly was pulled back immediately.

"Whoa?! What the heck?! Let me go! I was just playing around!"

"Your joke is not funny." Jessica said coldly, her expression dark. "If you try to do something funny, you should put on clown makeup and play with balls. Consider this your first warning."

"I was about to play with his balls, though? And clown makeup ruined my face!"

Even in the face of danger and threat, Sherly kept joking and laughing. She seemed fearless and wild, just like her personality.

"Anyway, I am a maid now. It's my duty to serve my master!" She declared, standing proudly, "As his personal maid, it's my job to satisfy him, physically and mentally! You have nothing to worry about."

"Hmm, well... It seems that I need to educate this girl first, Leader. Should I start by taking out her brain and putting an artificial one inside her body? Then, she can serve you better."

"Hahahaha! I love that kind of humor! You're funny... Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? Hey, Master! Tell me that she's joking. Stop approaching me!"

Sherly's voice became louder and louder as the situation became more dangerous. Jessica kept approaching her slowly with a murderous expression.

Leo couldn't help but sigh.

It was like watching a train wreck happening right in front of him.

"That's enough, Jessica. Chiaki's research will advance leap and bound if there is someone who can create martial arts that fit us. So, for now, she will be our newest member. But, if she's a troublemaker, then..."

"Yes, Leader. I shall educate her so that she can become a perfect maid."

Jessica stopped approaching and bowed slightly.

Sherly breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that this world was wild, but she never expected it to be this dangerous.

"Anyway, welcome to the Mercenary Union, Sherly. We will return to Chengdu soon, so prepare yourself." Leo said, rising to his feet.

"Aye aye, sir!" Sherly saluted, her face full of confidence and excitement.

'Finally! After a year, I can go around this world without worrying about Xue Wang. It will be a new life, and a fun one!'
