Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

"Hm, is that all you want?" Leo sighed and shook his head"

"Yes. I want to walk a dog together, just the two of us, in the forest. That would be so much fun, Leader."

She grabbed his arm and her face was red with excitement. Her boobs were pressed against him, and he could feel the softness and warmth.

"Can we?"

Her upturned eyes looked cute and innocent, and Leo had no reason to refuse her.

"Okay, fine. We'll do it."

Anya jumped with joy, her arms wrapping around him.

"Yes, yes! Let's go right now. I have the collar and leash ready!"

From her jacket, she fished out a black collar and a leash. Leo recognized what she meant by walking a dog. She meant she wanted him to walk her like a dog in the forest.

Instantly, a switch within him was flipped. The sadist part of him was awake, and he couldn't help but grin.

"I can't wait to put you in a collar and walk you. You will look so cute."

"Oh, Leader. I want to see how far we can go. Hehe, I know a beautiful place no one will ever visit. Let's explore it together."

With her arm looped around his, Leo couldn't help but nod his head. He felt happy and relaxed.

"Okay, let's go."

It was time for some fun.

***

As the war ended, the news quickly spread through the world. Leo's name and power were known now, and the entire world was shocked.

No one could believe it.

A 9 Stars martial artist?

Such a being was a god in their world, and yet, he was still young. From his look, he was not even 30, and his power was already at that level.

It was truly a miracle.

Some people were excited and hopeful, while others were worried and scared. There were rumors of him taking over the world and creating a new empire.

A threat for some people, including the Murim Alliance as well as hidden darkness sitting inside the Imperial Capital. In the private room reserved for the Emperor, sweet smell of incense was filling the air, and the man was sitting on the sofa, his eyes gazing toward the ceiling.

"My lord, what do you think of this Leo?"

The old person wearing an extravagant red gram kneeling in front of him asked, his head bowed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Hm, he's a great threat. No, more than that. He's a monster. A being who shouldn't exist. I'm afraid we can't do anything to him." The person, shirtless and showing his impressive muscles, stroked his chin.

From his look, he was like a man in his 25's. A young and handsome man with long hair reaching his waist and a pair of cold and sharp eyes.

His name was Feng Du.

No one would expect that this young man was the emperor. After all, his clothes weren't even proper. If he stood side by side with the old man kneeling in front of him, ten out of ten people would say that the old man was the emperor and the young man was his servant.

And, he didn't mind it at all. After all, he'd prefer to be seen as a servant than the ruler. That made it easier for him to move and do whatever he wanted. Thanks to this, he was able to find many betrayers before they could even move and eliminate them.

"I'm worried, my lord. This Leo is a danger to us and the world. What if he decides to conquer and rule over everything? He will be unstoppable. I'd heard that Murim Alliance Elders are planning to surrender after their huge loss in the war."

"Let them. I don't care." The Emperor waved his hand and grinned. "We don't need them anyway. They're a bunch of useless dogs. What do they have without their Qi? Nothing. Also... I think Leo will be a good addition to our Empire. He's strong and fearless. He will make a good guard dog."

"B-But, my lord, he might be dangerous. Who knows what his goal is."

"We always know his goal but decided to ignore it because it sounds ridiculous." Feng Du interrupted, his voice low and dangerous, "You and the other old men complicate things too much. Since his appearance, you told me that he loved money more than anything. He's on the side of profit, just like merchants, but has power to back him up. Is that not clear yet?"

"Of course, my lord. My apologies. It's just... his power and strength is too much. We don't have a way to stop him if he decides to take over."

"Then, let's not stop him."

"Huh?" A dumbfounded look appeared on the old man's face, and he looked at his emperor in shock. He couldn't comprehend the meaning behind his words.

"Haa..."

Looking at the stupid servant he had, Feng Du couldn't help but sigh. That sent a shiver down the old man's spine and he lowered his head, his eyes wide with fear.

"Do I have to spell it out for you? We can't do anything against Leo. Not right now. We need time and information. So, we will not stop him but befriend him. Are you stupid or what?"

"O-Of course not, my lord. It's just that... I didn't expect you to suggest such a thing. I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I understand. It's not like you're the brightest among the servants." He scoffed and waved his hand. "Go and tell the others. I, the Emperor, have decreed that Leo is an ally and recognizes his Mercenary Union. Let him have Sichuan as his base of operation. We will definitely benefit if he protects our land."

"Y-Yes, my lord."

With that, the old man stood and bowed, his body trembling with fear.

'Stupid fool.'

Feng Du smiled and leaned back, his eyes cold and his heart beating with anticipation. He had no idea how strong Leo was as he wasn't a martial artist, but he knew one thing. Making the correct decision was crucial.

If they angered him, Leo would come for them, and he didn't want that.

'I'm not scared. I'm not afraid of anyone.'

But, there was a small part of him that couldn't help but worry. From what he heard when he walked around in disguise, it seemed like a strange group was lurking in the shadows, their identity hidden and their goal unclear.

They were a danger to his Empire.

"It's not time for a friendly war. It seems I have to give the Murim Alliance a visit. Their head has been too big since the Supreme Evil disappeared. They think they can do whatever they want."

In his mind, a vision of a young and beautiful woman appeared. Her long dark hair was tied into a bun, and her blue eyes were as clear as the sky. His beloved mother who taught him everything he knew.

"This is not a game, son. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything. But, don't be afraid. Make the right choice, and you will gain everything."

Her voice echoed in his mind, and Feng Du couldn't help but chuckle.

'I hope I'm making the right choice.'

With his decision made, he walked out of the room.

'Leo, you're a dangerous fellow. But, I can use you. And, I will let you use me. Let's use each other well.'
