Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

"The person who sought our service is the Heavenly Demon, Mok-Rang. He’s the leader of the Sect located behind us. He paid us to help him earlier. But now, he wanted to use our mercenary service to escort her to his hidden base located around 120 KM away from here."

"Heavenly Demon?" Jack rubbed his chin and looked at Shui with a sneer. "Like something a certain sword maniac likes. Isn’t that right, Shui?"

"Just shut up and listen," Shui snapped back at him with a snort. But Jack laughed at him instead.

Leo noticed the exchange between them but chose not to comment on it. Jessica already had it in control.

"Jack, what did I say about interrupting when I explained the details of the job we received?" Her chilling voice, as cold as ice, made Jack flinch.

Even someone like him, who had experienced the worst battlefield, couldn’t help but feel slightly pressured when he heard it.

"Sorry," he muttered sheepishly before taking a step back.

Shui sneered, but he quickly turned away when Jessica’s gaze landed on him. No one in the group dared to cross this woman. Save for Anya.

"So we’re doing an escorting job?" She asked innocently while cleaning the blood in her metal claws. "Any information about potential enemies?"

"The possible enemies will be Poison Sect and possibly Tang Clan. Based on the name, I conducted a bit of research in the database and found they are something that can be found in a ’Murim’ novel, something that our Leader likes very much."

Jessica explained and the other made a ’huh’ sound when they heard that. They turned their attention toward Leo who shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. He didn’t feel embarrassed by it at all.

"So Leader already knows everything about this world from the start?" Chiaki asked, her eyes filled with respect. "As expected of him."

"Indeed," Shui also nodded in agreement.

"Then let’s leave the fact aside and start going over the detail of the job we’re receiving," Jessica said coldly before she continued,

"We are paid with a storage ring, 500 KG of Steel, and 50 sheets of leathers. We will escort Mok-Rang from this place to his hidden base where his disciples are moving to."

"Steel?" Jack asked, a confused look on his face. "What do you need a steel for, Leader? Considering our skill, isn’t the pay a bit lacking? I don’t know what a storage ring is, but the other sounds useless."

"No, it’s enough." Leo shook his head and looked at his subordinates.

"What we need right now is resources to create our base again. That’s why we need steel. And this storage ring is a valuable item that can store items into a different space. It’s an alien technology in this world and maybe it will be useful later."

"I see." Jack rubbed his chin, understanding what Leo wanted to do.

The others also nodded.

"The job will begin tonight." Leo announced and rose from his position. "This is our first official job here. We might be stranded in a different world altogether, but we’re mercenaries. We’re going to build our reputation from 0 again. But remember... We’re the strongest.

No one can stop us."

The hallowed insect band members smirked darkly at his words as they felt their pride being ignited. Their leader had chosen to make it in this world, then so be it.

Locations didn’t matter. Wherever they were, their job was just one. To live to their fullest and achieve what their Leaders expected them to do.

"There should be a few intact residential buildings in this place. Our client allows us to use them to rest. Do what you want until later. Dismissed." Leo said to them and they walked away.

Anya said she wanted to hunt in the forest while Chiaki said she wanted to set a defensive measure for the night watch. Jack and Shui went together while bickering.

Leo knew they would fight as he heard the sword maniac, Shui, say that he found a vast fighting arena or something deep inside this area.

’Everything should be fine. They will always gather on time.’

Everyone was as professional as he set them to be. And that was his hope when he created them.

Leo also went to the residential area to find a good house to rest. He was slightly overwhelmed by the current situation. He managed to find one with a relatively good condition and decided to use it. There was a small Coco toy in the entrance which belonged to Chiaki, which showed that she had set a defensive trap in this house.

The house had an oriental furniture and a large bed with some strange ornaments hung on the wall. Leo didn’t think too much about it, but...

"Why did you follow me, Jessica? I am sure I ask everyone to rest."

For some reason, Jessica followed him. She smiled seductively and put her hand on her hip. Her body was curvy and extremely eye-catching with the tight suit she wore.

"Isn’t it normal for me to follow you, Leader? After all, more than just a secretary, I also have a job to protect you."

Leo stared at her for a few seconds before sighing loudly. He knew that was the setting he created. And when in the game, he would have her follow him everywhere except when he gave her an order to do something else.

But now that they were in the real world, maybe they didn’t follow his order blindly again. They gained a real personality based on their setting.

As for Jessica, for example, he made her clingy toward him. And it was reflected right now. When he ordered her to rest, she immediately connected it to ’rest with him’ and not in a different room.

"You know I can protect myself."

"Still, it’s never wrong to stay together." She got closer to him and pushed her body, causing her bountiful breasts to squish on his arm. "Leader... Can you at least allow me to stay by your side?"

"Fine, do as you wish." He sighed in defeat when he saw how eager she was to follow him.

Hearing that, she smiled in satisfaction as she jumped, "Yes!"

And that was how he spent his first night in the new world.
