Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

"Are you serious?" Jack's expression turned dark, he was surprised by Leo's sudden proposal. "You're telling me to take care of the space launch?!"

Leo, Jack, and the rest were gathered in the lobby.

There was a holographic table displaying a blueprint of a space rocket. Leo was showing off the blueprints of a rocket to his members. He planned to launch a spaceship in the future, but he needed someone to take charge of it.

"What, it's so simple. You don't actually pilot it, just control the launching. It is just like playing video games."

"You're asking me to pilot a fucking rocket ship!" Jack shouted loudly. "That's cool!"

Jack was excited. He wanted to do this, even though it sounded crazy. He had been playing video games since he was a child. The idea of piloting a spaceship was awesome!

Leo could count on him for the delivery of something to space. He also made a system that could be controlled from Earth, so he didn't have to worry about it too much.

"You will be responsible for it." Leo nodded and tapped his shoulder. "While you're at it, feel free to test the rocket's weapon. You can use the targeting system and the auto-lock. It would be fun!"

"Alright, Boss!"

After he explained to Jack, Leo turned to the rest.

"Now then, I will make some adjustments to everyone's role. Shui isn't here because he's on a journey to fulfill Wandering Sword Saint's last wish to him and bring his remains back to his hometown. So I'd like someone else to take care of his bartending work. Yue Yue, I know this isn't a job suited for you, but can I entrust this task to you? I will give you a bonus."

"Eh? M-Me?"

The young girl was flustered by her Leader's request. She looked around at everyone's face, and she saw that they were smiling at her and encouraging her to do this.

"W-Why? I can't handle a bar."

"You're the best for this role." Anya smiled and said, "Your cuteness and your beauty will be a great help!"

"I-I can do that, right?"

She looked at Anya and Chiaki and nodded.

"You can. Besides, haven't you handled alcohol before in the teahouse?"

Yue Yue nodded again.

"Y-Yeah."

"I will help you too." Astrid chirped in.

She and Yue Yue had grown closer after the Capital mission, and they shared the same room now. It was a nice arrangement and Yue Yue was no longer afraid of her seniors.

"I see. I'll do it then! T-Thank you, Leader, for the trust!"

"Good, good. Then I will have you to work with Astrid, okay? And I will have Jessica to take care of the management, accounting, and paperwork just like usual. Can you help her, Chiaki? She's a bit busy."

"Leave it to me." Chiaki nodded.

With no other jobs or enemies that could threaten them right now, Leo decided to focus on Mercenary Union's business. He wanted to have one base in each city.

At first, it didn't seem possible. However, Four Wind Merchant sponsored their expansion. They would provide all kinds of services and materials to support the Mercenary Union. It was due to the deal he took when Leo presented the stove blueprint to him.

It was a huge amount of money. And the Four Wind Merchant paid it in one go. It was a sign that they trusted him and they also gained profit by selling the stove.

With the capital and a solid sponsor behind his back, expanding Mercenary Union's branch in each city became possible.

"Alright, I will meet with Tang Jiaofu and Nabi now. Can you prepare a good surprise for our dear collaborator for tonight, Chiaki?"

"Yes, Leader." Chiaki nodded, "I have already made the plan and I have set up everything for our guests. I just need to give them a signal, and it's ready to go."

"Alright, then. Good job."

Leo patted Chiaki's head and then left the base, leaving her and the other girls alone. He had to meet Nabi and Tang Jiaofu in the Butterfly Pavilion and talk about the expansion.

As collaborators, Nabi and Tang Jiaofu would be the first to hear about the expansion. Of course, it was just the basic plan, but he hoped to get some feedback and suggestions from them.

Arriving at the pavilion, he was greeted by many girls dressed scantily. They wore what he would call dancer outfits. The pavilion was full of them. He could see them everywhere. A combination of frills and revealing clothes was the most common sight.

The girls' bare legs seen through a half-transparent skirt and cleavage were exposed for everyone to see. And the veil covering half of their face roused up the desire to take off their clothes and have fun.

In fact, this outfit was proposed by Jessica to boost the sale. They would change every week, and give special performances for customers who ordered the most expensive course. The Butterfly Pavilion's selling point wasn't the food or service.

Rather, they focused on entertainment, making their customers come here for a show and to enjoy a beautiful sight.

Coincidentally, today was a dance day. As such, Nabi also greeted him in a dancer's outfit which accentuated her body movement and curves.

"Welcome to our Butterfly Pavilion, Leo."

Her voice was soft and sweet, and her eyes were full of lust. Her breasts were covered by a cloth tied around them and a transparent skirt revealed her slender legs. The veil covered her face and she wore a golden circlet with a butterfly decoration on top of it.

Her face was decorated with golden powders and eyeliners, making her face look so sexy. No one would be able to handle her allure.

Fortunately, they were in a private room where there were only two of them. Leo looked around and didn't see Tang Jiaofu anywhere.

"Where is Tang Patriarch? Isn't he also supposed to be here?" He asked.

"Ah, that." Nabi smiled and walked closer, her breasts were almost pressing against him. "I might or might not confuse the schedule while telling him. I forgot to say that it's 7 in the morning, not in the evening."

A seducing smile on her lips.

"So, how is my outfit, Leader of the Mercenary Union? Do you like it?"

She winked and traced her fingers across her breasts, pushing them upwards and revealing a bit of her nipple. Then she pushed her hands downwards and lifted up the skirt, showing a glimpse of her thighs. Her hands then went down to touch the inside of her legs.

"What are you planning?" Leo smiled and grabbed her hands, stopping it.

"Hehe." Nabi laughed and winked again, "I am seducing someone I fell in love with. What's so strange about it?"

Her words sent shivers down Leo's spine. Nabi was a very attractive woman. Even if she didn't say that she fell in love with him, her appearance alone was already enough to seduce any man.

But there was also this danger involving her. If he was careless, she would stab him with a dagger or something similar, making her an enemy. That would be troublesome and he wanted to avoid that at all costs.

Hao Sect was an old and big sect, and this woman tried to make him their leader.

Of course, he considered it for a while. Taking the leadership meant he could expand the Mercenary Union's power faster. But at the same time, he would also be responsible for Hao Sect's problem.

He wasn't sure about it, but at least, he wouldn't let himself be trapped in a relationship with her.

If... if what she said contained a truth about her feelings toward him, then he would respond accordingly.

"Hey, Nabi." He said to her, making her smile.

"Ah, finally calling me by my name, I see." Nabi said while looking up at him. "Do you have anything you want to ask me, Leo?"

She was teasing him. And he was fully aware of that. However, it didn't stop him from asking his question.

"Why do you love me?" He asked her. His voice sounded serious. It was an honest and sincere question.

Nabi was surprised. She wasn't expecting that kind of question, but she quickly regained her composure. Her smile changed from a mischievous one to a sad one.

"Will you hear my story?" Nabi asked him. She moved closer, her hands were still held in his hands, preventing her from doing anything. Her lips were almost touching his ear, her warm breath brushed over it.

"Let's move to the bed so I can feel calm. It's a bit hard telling a story in this place."

Leo wanted to say something but stopped when he felt her trembling hand.

Someone who was mischievous, sexy, and mature like her could feel nervous too was something he found unexpected.

He nodded.

They sat on the bed in the room and Nabi told him her story.

"First of all, do you know how Hao Sect's leader was chosen?" She started, looking at him. "From your reaction, I guess you don't know about it. Then I'll explain a bit about Hao Sect."

Leo listened to her silently. He knew that Hao Sect was a big sect in Murim world and they had a special rule for choosing their leader, but that was it. That was all he knew.

Nabi's gaze fell to her hand, "The Leader of Hao Sect was always chosen by a special ceremony. The candidates were the sons and daughters of the previous sect leader. However, the previous sect leader had no children. Thus he adopted six of us from different places,
