Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

The man sitting inside the carriage spoke to a beautiful woman. He had long brown hair and his face looked like a young entertainer. His voice was pretty soft and his attitude was a bit flamboyant.

His robe, looking like the ones worn by rich men, was adorned with gold and jewels.

However, that didn\'t make him look bad. Rather, it gave him a charming and charismatic air.

"We should arrive in the next few hours, dear. Don\'t worry, we are not rushing."

The woman sitting beside him answered softly. She was wearing a red dress and pink-tinted glasses that recently became popular in Chengdu. Her hair, cascading down her back, was black and shiny.

Her hand softly caressed his thighs, teasing and arousing him.

"Oh my, I can\'t wait."

The man smiled and returned the gesture, his hands intertwined with hers.

His smile was seductive and his eyes glittered with passion.

It was a look that no one could resist.

No matter how one saw them, they were loving rich couple. A big business people from Chengdu who had nothing to worry about but pleasure.

However, if one knew the truth, they would be shocked.

Inside the carriage, the couple was not what they seemed.

They were Leo and his secretary, Jessica.

Of course, they didn\'t go by that name right now. Instead, they were donning different identities.

Jessica was dressed like a lady, and Leo was a noble businessman who wanted to expand his company. They also used a different name. Right now, he was Yang Ji while she was Yang Rong, and they were a married couple.

Their trip was not a short one. It had been 3 days since they started their journey and they were almost at the Capital.

"Master, the capital can be seen right now."

The young-looking coachman said as he tilted his hat a little.

Leo peeked his head out and looked at the horizon. A large city could be seen in the distance. The capital was a beautiful city, and it had a different air from Chengdu. The air was a bit cooler and there were many people in the streets.

As their carriage entered the gate, Leo could see the difference between this city and the previous one.

"This is interesting."

The buildings looked pretty similar to Chengdu, but there was something different.

"There are more people here." Jessica commented.

Her observation was correct. There were more people and more hustle and bustle.

Not only that, a large building that could be seen even from the gate stood in the heart of the Capital. Its enormous size and grandeur could not be missed.

"That must be the castle where the Emperor resides. It\'s not as impressive as the palace in the Imperial City, but it\'s not bad."

"Hmm, so that\'s the Emperor\'s castle."

Leo nodded and leaned back. The building indeed looked impressive and had a majestic aura around it.

"So, dear. Where would we stay tonight? Do you have any suggestions?"

Jessica\'s smile was sweet and seductive. Her eyes were hidden behind the pink-tinted glasses, but her gaze was sharp and calculating.

"Of course. I have prepared everything ahead of time." Leo replied, "We will stay in the Red Moon Inn. It\'s a famous hotel and a gathering place for wealthy people."

"Oh, how nice. You are so thoughtful."

She giggled and leaned closer. She leaned against his shoulder and her hand moved toward his crotch.

"My husband, let\'s have fun after checking into the room."

"As you wish, dear."

Surprisingly, the road in the Capital was pretty good. It was flat and the bumps were less than Leo expected. They took care of it pretty well.

As they entered the city, the scenery became more breathtaking. The buildings, the people, and the atmosphere were all different.

There were a lot of martial artists wearing red uniforms walking around. From what Leo knew, they were the Emperor\'s guard and his elite force named Bloody Guards.

Leo scanned everyone wearing the uniform and saved their data, such as face and body structure, into the cloud storage using his cloud storage.

This was pretty important for his mission and to find out about the enemy\'s strength.

Before long, they arrived at the Red Moon Inn. It was not as big as Butterfly Pavilion, but it had a luxurious air around it.

"Welcome to the Red Moon Inn."

The man behind the counter was old and had a beard. His face was wrinkled and his body looked like it was about to collapse. However, one shouldn\'t look at people\'s appearance too much in Murim. Even when their bodies were rusty, they could also be a hidden master or something.

So, Leo stayed polite.

"Give us your best room. We plan to stay for a whole month."

The old man raised his brow in surprise.

"Oh, a rich gentleman, huh? Hehehe, we have the best room for you. It has a great view of the castle and is very comfortable. It will be 300 Golds for two weeks, so 600 Golds for a month. Is that okay, Young Lord?"

Leo nodded. He paid the amount without any hesitation.

Spending money without thinking twice was how a big businessman worked in Murim. They flaunted their wealth and threw their coins away like they had no limit.

"Here\'s the key. Enjoy your stay, Young Lord."

With a bow, the old man handed him the key.

"Will you need a meal? Our first floor serves as a restaurant that has the best dishes in the Capital. You must be tired from a long journey. Our peking duck and grilled fish are very famous."

"Oh, I would love to have that. We will have two sets of your special menu, please. Thank you."

"Yes, yes, thank you for choosing our Inn, Young Lord. May I know your name?"

"It\'s Yang Ji."

The old man bowed again and then shouted loudly.

"TWO SETS OF SPECIAL MENU FOR OUR LORD YANG JI!"

Following that, a young servant on the side ran out of the inn and began shouting the same thing. This was how this inn pleased their valued customer.

As mentioned earlier, people loved to flex their wealth and power in Murim. Announcing their expensive order like this usually pleased the customers. Not only that, but it also helped to spread a place\'s reputation.

Many people would love to eat and drink here if the food was good and the service was exceptional.

And, the old man did a good job in making a name for themselves.

The servant returned from outside and immediately showed Leo the way to their table.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for choosing our inn, Young Lord. Please, enjoy your food and don\'t forget to visit our casino downstairs. We have many games and prizes for everyone. Also, the entertainer will start their dance soon on that stage. I believe you will enjoy it with your beautiful wife."

"My~ Thank you, servant." Jessica giggled and threw a silver coin to the servant for his lip service.

The servant caught it skillfully, hid it under his sleeve, and smiled. Then, he bowed and left after saying that he would bring them their meal soon.
