Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

In the Murim Alliance's headquarters, a young boy could be seen sitting on someone's back. He looked so cocky, raising his chin as he gazed at the old men who looked at him with hatred.

These old men radiated killing intent and murderous aura, and Kang Jian didn't seem to care. He only smiled, his eyes sharp and his lips curved into a smirk. He moved his finger, and a woman wearing a blindfold got closer to him, drinking a wine before kissing him.

Their tongues intertwined, and the sounds of sucking and moaning could be heard. The woman's hand touched his crotch, massaging his length, making him sigh in pleasure.

"Enough!"

An Elder with wrinkles on his face and his white beard shouted, his voice booming.

"Stop it, Kang Jian! We will not allow you to disrespect us any longer. Release the woman and step down from that position! Don't disrespect Alliance Leader any longer!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The other Elders nodded, their eyes filled with anger and indignation. His eyes went to the armless man bound in plenty of seals under Kang Jian. His identity was none other than Xue Wang.

"You're just a bastard who's not qualified to lead the Alliance. We should have killed you the moment you challenged the Alliance Leader."

Kang Jian didn't say anything, only looking at the old man with a calm gaze.

"I see. You are angry because I defeated your precious Alliance Leader. So, you're trying to challenge me now that you think you can defeat me. How pathetic."

"How dare you!"

"Hmph! The Murim Alliance should be the one who's pathetic."

He waved his hand, and a group of men wearing black clothes came out from behind the Elders, their expressions cold and their swords ready on their necks. They were led by a woman who was beautiful and sexy, her body covered in leather and her eyes hidden under her black hair.

"Now, the Murim Alliance belongs to me. And my order is absolute."

The Elders were shocked, and their eyes went wide.

As someone sitting in the Murim Alliance's Elders position, they weren't fools. And they were all at least 6 Stars martial artists, with experience and knowledge. They knew what kind of situation they were in.

'To think I can't feel them!'

The Elder from earlier, Yuang Li, couldn't help but shiver in fear. He could sense the group of people behind him, but their energy was hidden.

And, he couldn't sense their presence or their strength.

'I am a 7 Stars martial artist. Yet, I can't sense these people.1It's as if… As if they have no Qi!'

"Wonderful, aren't they?" Kang Jian chuckled, his tone full of pride. "We took some inspiration from the Thunder God and his companion. At first, I thought having Qi and exceptional control over it was amazing and would make them the best assassin. But, we found a way to surpass that. Just modify their bodies and let them be strong enough while having no Qi."

That way martial artists wouldn't be able to detect them.

Yuang Li glanced at one of the assassin appearing behind the Elders. He noticed that their exposed skin had stitches marks, indicating that their body was modified. Not only that, their bloodshot eyes were terrifying, and their hands were trembling.

They were unstable.

'These people are not human anymore.'

"Now, I will ask you nicely. Will you cooperate with me or die here? Your choice." Read latest chapters at empire

Kang Jian said, his eyes shining with evilness.

The Elder was silent.

They couldn't believe this was happening. Just a week ago, they were still trying to figure out a way to deal with the Mercenary Union and the pressure from the Emperor. But now they were facing a bigger threat.

"K-Kang Jian. What do you want?"

Scared, the other Elders bowed their heads and asked, their voices shaking. Yuang Li felt betrayed, but he knew they had no other choice. If they were killed, there was no telling what would happen.

"What do I want?"

Kang Jian repeated the words, his gaze focused on the Elder who asked. He raised his chin, and his expression turned dark.

"You see, the world is in shambles. We need to cleanse everything and start anew. And for that, the Murim Alliance will become a tool to destroy everything and everyone who stand in my way."

"T-Tool?"

"Be grateful, everyone! As you will become fertilizer for the new world that I shall create. The world of peace and harmony. World where not only martial artists but everyone can be equal and live a happy life."

"What... are you talking about?"

Normal people couldn't understand his words. They were scared and confused. They couldn't understand his plan or his motive.

Utopia was nothing but a dream, something that could never happen.

If... If someone could make it happen, then that someone must be either a God.

Or a Devil.

Yuang Li liked to believe it was the latter.

After all, who would sit on top of their crippled, defeated opponent in front of his loyal subordinates and did a blatant sexual act with a woman while threatening them?

Not even a Devil would do that. They had their own pride.

The old man shivered in disgust and anger.

"You will not succeed, Kang Jian! Your ambition will never be achieved. The Emperor will not allow you to destroy the world and create chaos."

"The Emperor? Hmm, yes. The Emperor. How could I forget?" Kang Jian said, his face turned cold. "I forgot about him. But, don't worry. He won't be able to stop me."

He laughed, and his eyes were hazy.

"The Emperor, without any power, hiding behind the shadow... How could a coward who just showed himself lately stop me? No, he will not. And soon, everything will fall into place."

The Elder couldn't say anything.

He looked around, and his heart sank.

They were outnumbered and outgunned. All the could do was slump in their knees and hoped that everything worked out well.

"Great. I see that you've made your decision." Kang Jian clapped his hand and stood up. "But I am a cautious person. Head, give our new followers the blessing of the Supreme Evil."

"What?! Supreme Ev- Arrgh!"

Before the Elder could speak, they felt their neck being punctured. A needle was inserted, and a strange liquid entered their body. They trembled and convulsed, and their skin around the neck turned white, making their strangely purple veins visible.

Their eyes rolled to the back of their heads, and they fell backward, their bodies stiff and unmoving.

"W-What have you done?!"

Kang Jian didn't say anything. He only grinned and pulled the blindfolded girl closer, grabbing her head and forcing her to lick his crotch, all while sitting on top of crippled Xue Wang who couldn't do anything.

"Just a welcome gift. And take them all away. I want to have fun while this feeling lasts. Service me well, Eyes."

"Slurp~"

A wet sound echoed, and the smell of sex filled the air.

Meanwhile, Yuang Li and the other Elders were taken away, their bodies paralyzed and unable to move. They couldn't do anything but pray for their life.

'I... I need to ask for help. Please, don't let me die.'

He closed his eyes, determined to find a way to save himself.

'Mercenary Union... If only I could contact them.'

Unknown to everyone, including Kang Jian and the people in black, a small metal toy hiding under optical illusion was following the Elders to their locked residences.

"Now that's bad." Leo muttered, sighing deeply.

Chiaki had spread Coco around the Capital when she last visited. And just now, the latest video taken from the toy had been delivered to the hologram screen in his room.

It showed live footage of what happened over there right now. The toy could be controlled manually, and he made them follow the Elders who were taken away.

And from the video, he could see what was happening.

'So, the Murim Alliance is taken over by the Supreme Evil followers. And the new Alliance Leader is called Kang Jian. The way he called the women Head and Eyes made it clear that he's the Heart. Also... poor Xue Wang. He ended up in that kind of situation. That's a problem.'

Leo didn't underestimate Xue Wang's strength. In fact, he was wary of the Alliance Leader's strength that he didn't launch an all-out attack toward the Murim Alliance and chose to strike them little by little from the shadows.

'He's the strongest Alliance Leader. He could reach 9 Stars if given time. His strength and control over his Qi is incredible. And with his experience, he's a seasonal fighter that's hard to handle.'

Such a man was defeated and humiliated in front of his subordinates. The talismans and seals over his body kept him crippled without arms and unable to move, ending as a chair for the cruel Heart.

'But, the Supreme Evil's Followers are no joke. These people in black are probably Head's new clone and toys. From the conversation I heard, they have no Qi. Did Heart say he took inspiration from us? What a silly thing to say.'

He smirked.

If Nanites was something that simple, he wouldn't be able to achieve what he has now. They were not a mere inspiration or model. They were fundamentally different.

Even Chiaki could make a better body enhancement with just drugs and physical training. Compared to Head's modification, she was like a child playing with toys.

'Now onto the main topic. Maybe I need to strengthen myself more. With our Base and all facilities reaching Level 5, and Jessica securing all kinds of materials everyday, I can create a new weapon and the best bodysuit now. One that's suited for high level combat and not the normal one we currently wear.'

Matching and enhancing their strength according to their opponents were the basics. Leo knew that. He had been doing it for a while, and the results were clear.

However, he had a feeling that it wouldn't be enough this time.

The enemy's power was unknown, and their strength could come from anywhere.

'Let's go all out in our preparation. We can't allow any mistake.'

Thinking so, he opened an open communication line for everyone and declared.

"The situation has changed. Now our war against the Murim Alliance will be classified as an S-Rank Mission."
