Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 167 – Friends [1]

Leo shrugged, acting as if he didn't just kill someone.

Meanwhile, the others were terrified.

How could he use Qi so casually?

"You killed my brother! Die!"

Another man yelled and charged at him. Leo raised his hand and stopped the sword with his bare hand. The man trembled and tried to pull it back, but Leo wouldn't let him.

"What's wrong? Can't move your dull blade anymore?"

"Argh!"

With a wave of his hand, the sword shattered, and the man fell to the ground, holding his injured hand. Blood seeped through his fingers, and his face was pale.

"See? It's so dull and brittle that it got destroyed just like that."

"H-How can you-"

From behind him, the men screamed in horror. They couldn't understand what was going on and didn't know how to react.

This was a nightmare.

"Brother! Quick, attack him! We have him surrounded!"

"Kill him! Kill him! Don't let him get away! Avenge our leader!"

Their faces were red with anger, and their eyes were full of hatred. They had lost their leader and the man in front of them hurt their friend. There was no need for mercy.

"Die!"

"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

They were screaming and shouting, charging at him without hesitation.

All their weapons raised above their heads, attempting to cut him down. Yet, it ended at that.

An attempt.

Leo moved and dodged every blow. His body was fast, faster than any human being, and he could move with ease. His eyes were focused and sharp, and his mind was clear.

Each time he passed a guy, he quickly moved his hand. A small hidden knife, similar to a pocket knife, appeared on his finger. He had no sheath or holder, and it was kept hidden under his nails.

"Huh?"

Peace had returned, and the guests were safe. They thanked him and even offered him a drink, which he refused.

The courtesans even tried to pull him into the second floor, but Yue Yue stopped them, saying that Leo was her customer and wouldn't be taken away.

"I-I will be the one showing him the second floor."

She was still timid, but she had regained her confidence. Her face was bright, and her expression was determined. Her arms were still holding onto his sleeve, not wanting him to go anywhere.

"Let's go, Mister Leo."

Her eyes were clear, and her voice was low. She had made up her mind.

Even though she was embarrassed, she didn't hide her face or body gesture.

Refusing a girl's advance was a shameful act, and gentlemen didn't do that.

And this was not the case with Leo.

He wanted to help her, and her story had touched his heart.

However, he was not interested in sleeping with a girl he didn't know, even if it was just a simple act. So he just followed her into a room on the second floor. Yue Yue looked at him and was about to take off her clothes when Leo's hand moved fat and knocked her out.

"Sorry."

Instantly, she felt unconscious and fell to the ground. He caught her before that happened and put her on the bed gently.

"Now, let's wait for Emperor Sheng and ask him for help."

Sighing, Leo smiled and looked at the door. He could hear a very... loud conversation coming from the other side. A lewd one, that was, belonged to Sheng and the woman inside.

"Ugh, I have been a bad influence on him."

Shaking his head, he waited. He sat on the bed and looked at the note he made regarding all important characters in the world, especially Yue Yue, the Hidden Shadow.

A short description was written there, including her ability and how she managed to hide the protagonist Kim Min-Gu and the Supreme Evil from everyone's eyes.

Her abilities were legendary, and he needed her.

If she could hide someone, there was a high possibility she had a tracking talent that would allow her to find anyone, even the elusive Kim Min-Gu and his enemies.

'And now, she will be part of the Hallowed Insect.'

Leo wasn't sure if he could keep her, but he would try.

Right now, he had one hunting dog that used his nose, or senses as he called it, to find the Dark Qi in the Capital. Since Leo defeated and killed Hands, the dog hadn't contacted him yet. He asked him to rest and take his time, not wanting him to get tired and injured.

"Well, it's not like we're in a hurry. I can also have Sherly train Yue Yue and have her focus on her abilities. I am sure she can find a lot of information and techniques to enhance her power. With her, we will have a powerful hidden weapon."

Chuckling, Leo waited.
