Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

"What’s the meaning of this, Yao?!"

Feeling betrayed, Tang Jiaofu shouted hysterically as his mind went blank from shock and anger, unable to comprehend the current situation clearly. He questioned his second son with a trembling voice, demanding an explanation while glaring hatefully at Tang Yao.

"Hahaha..." Tang Yao laughed maniacally as his purple eyes shone brightly with malicious intent, "You... You... I should’ve killed you and that bitch right away! How dare you... How dare you expose my meticulously planned plan!"

With a mad laugh and a flick of his hand, Tang Yao summoned a bright purple knife in his right hand while his left hand formed a claw. His face morphed into a furious expression full of resentment as he hissed venomously. Scales appeared on his body along with sharp fangs.

"Yao..."

Tang Jiaofu realized what Tang Yao truly was and muttered under his breath with an expression of despair and disbelief etched onto his face. He had just lost his third son. And now he had to face the fact that his second son wasn’t himself?

"You wretched being! What did you do to my son?!"

Fueled by rage and hatred, Tang Jiaofu charged towards Tang Yao with a dagger in hand, ready to kill him instantly. However, someone appeared on his way and made him hesitate.

Clang!

His dagger met with a sword. He looked at the person blocking him with a betrayed expression.

"Soso... What are you doing?"

Tang Soso held onto her blade tightly as she gritted her teeth angrily.

A tear fell down her cheek while she glared coldly at her father without wavering. Her whole body trembled uncontrollably while blood dripped down her neck, flowing down her pale skin towards her chest.

"You won’t harm Master, father. You won’t do that!" She shouted with determination burning strongly within her eyes, "I won’t allow it!"

"But Soso... Yao is possessed by Supreme Evil’s followers..."

"So what?! I can’t live without him anymore. Not after he makes me realize my worth as a woman, as his bitch. If I don’t get that pill, I… I…"

"Good job, Soso." Tang Yao said as he laughed happily and walked toward them, "I will give you the reward tonight, okay?"

Tang Jiaofu couldn’t believe what he just heard and witnessed. He didn’t care about her admitting that she was sleeping with her brother or anything else anymore. His daughter was... brainwashed? That was not possible!

’But...how...’

Then he remembered that pill she mentioned earlier. Blue Spider Pill! The evil drug created by the Supreme Evil in the past!

"No way..."

"My apologies, father... I will let you die in peace."

With those words spoken, Tang Jiaofu’s last hope of surviving shattered completely as he watched Tang Soso stabbed him through the heart with her sword.

"Father!"

Tang Ao, freed from the threads that bound him and jumped forward to save their father, but he was too late.

Tang Jiaofu had a painful look on his face as blood gushed out of his mouth while he fell backwards lifelessly towards the ground before crashing heavily onto it. Betrayed by his daughter and son, he was stabbed fatally by his own child.

"How... dare..."

After these years, Tang Jiaofu finally realized how useless and powerless he was. The so-called strongest martial artist in Central Plain fell easily without being able to do anything against his daughter’s attack.

At that moment...

"I told you that you should’ve treated your kid better."

"Gah!"

Leo kicked Tang Soso’s neck, knocking her down the ground before putting his leg above her back. It was all done in one swift movement without anyone able to see what happened. She immediately lost consciousness.

"Jessica, give the patriarch treatment. Keep him from dying."

"Yes, Leader."

The secretary, retracting her threads from binding all people in the area, immediately rushed to Tang Jiaofu while pulling a pill from her pocket.

"Drink this, this will make you feel better."

"... Why?"

Tang Ao, who rushed toward his father, questioned the woman while glaring coldly at her. He didn’t trust her. Earlier, she took everyone hostage by using her threads to cut their necks. It was horrifying. Even Tang Jiaofu was unable to break free from it.

"If I didn’t stop you earlier, you would definitely rush to us and trust... that guy. But now that you see the truth, I believe that you will have no problem if we deal with them, right? That guy over there is not your real brother but someone else who took over his body."

"..."

He couldn’t say anything.

"Patriarch, just trust us. Our medicine is, as much as you don’t believe it, currently better than Tang Clan’s. This will keep you alive until you can get proper treatment."

Jessica handed the pill to the pale-faced man and showed him how to swallow it without any harm.

Tang Jiaofu made an unreadable expression but after a moment of hesitation, he eventually accepted the pill and swallowed it. After that, she brought him away from Leo while nodding at him.

Seeing that, Leo nodded and turned at Tang Yao. The man didn’t do anything and just wait while sneering at him.

"Are you done?"

A confident smile appeared on his face as he asked Leo that question.

"Aren’t you confident? To think you would stay still when my subordinate saved the patriarch. Isn’t your goal to kill him and take over the Tang Clan?"

"That was indeed my goal. Or at least, one of them."

Tang Yao said with a straight face before suddenly gritting his teeth like a madman.

"But you... You you you you! You ruined everything! You realized my plan and stopped it. Not only that... You pretended not to know and approached me.

This is your plan from the start, right? I have to admit that you’re really good at acting."

"Nah, I never have any plan to stop your plan. Who cares about the Tang Clan? They can get destroyed and I can still live without being affected."

Leo’s calm response made Tang Yao burst out in anger.

"But you know my plan! Why didn’t you stop it before? Why did you wait until now to do that?!"

"Because you touched what’s mine." An eerie voice suddenly resounded from Leo’s mouth. It was different from his calm and collected tone from before.

Everyone unconsciously stepped back. Even Tang Yao, who clearly exuded an evil aura, got frightened for a second. He already took a step back before he even realized it.

"Didn’t I tell you before? I am a slave to money. If you pay me, I will do your job. Evil or good, I don’t care. We never identified ourselves as a hero of justice. We’re mercenaries, our hands are soaked in blood.

And... I have warned the Tang Clan before. When your brother dared to touch what’s mine, I held back a little. However... how dare you attack my base when I am away from it, you fucker?!"

The man who acted calmly all this time had finally shown his anger. A demon-like expression appeared on his face as sparks of electricity crackled around his body while his hair rose upwards.

The moment Tang Yao realized the real reason why Leo interfered, he felt goosebumps rising all over his body.

A thought flashed in his mind.

’I shouldn’t have touched the sleeping dragon.’

Before he knew it, Leo was already in front of him.

"Clench your teeth. I don’t want you to die from this."

Boom!
