Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 101: Chapter 101 – Central Plains’ Capital

A carriage moved slowly in a bumpy road. The coachman, wearing a brown robe and a hat, looked calm and indifferent as he guided the horses.

"Hmm, this is boring. How long until we arrive at the Capital, honey?"

The man sitting inside the carriage spoke to a beautiful woman. He had long brown hair and his face looked like a young entertainer. His voice was pretty soft and his attitude was a bit flamboyant.

His robe, looking like the ones worn by rich men, was adorned with gold and jewels.

However, that didn't make him look bad. Rather, it gave him a charming and charismatic air.

"We should arrive in the next few hours, dear. Don't worry, we are not rushing."

The woman sitting beside him answered softly. She was wearing a red dress and pink-tinted glasses that recently became popular in Chengdu. Her hair, cascading down her back, was black and shiny.

Her hand softly caressed his thighs, teasing and arousing him.

"Oh my, I can't wait."

The man smiled and returned the gesture, his hands intertwined with hers.

His smile was seductive and his eyes glittered with passion.

It was a look that no one could resist.

No matter how one saw them, they were loving rich couple. A big business people from Chengdu who had nothing to worry about but pleasure.

However, if one knew the truth, they would be shocked.

Inside the carriage, the couple was not what they seemed.

They were Leo and his secretary, Jessica.

Of course, they didn't go by that name right now. Instead, they were donning different identities.

Jessica was dressed like a lady, and Leo was a noble businessman who wanted to expand his company. They also used a different name. Right now, he was Yang Ji while she was Yang Rong, and they were a married couple.

Their trip was not a short one. It had been 3 days since they started their journey and they were almost at the Capital.

"Master, the capital can be seen right now."

The young-looking coachman said as he tilted his hat a little.

Leo peeked his head out and looked at the horizon. A large city could be seen in the distance. The capital was a beautiful city, and it had a different air from Chengdu. The air was a bit cooler and there were many people in the streets.

As their carriage entered the gate, Leo could see the difference between this city and the previous one.

So, Leo stayed polite.

"Give us your best room. We plan to stay for a whole month."

The old man raised his brow in surprise.

"Oh, a rich gentleman, huh? Hehehe, we have the best room for you. It has a great view of the castle and is very comfortable. It will be 300 Golds for two weeks, so 600 Golds for a month. Is that okay, Young Lord?"

Leo nodded. He paid the amount without any hesitation.

Spending money without thinking twice was how a big businessman worked in Murim. They flaunted their wealth and threw their coins away like they had no limit.

"Here's the key. Enjoy your stay, Young Lord."

With a bow, the old man handed him the key.

"Will you need a meal? Our first floor serves as a restaurant that has the best dishes in the Capital. You must be tired from a long journey. Our peking duck and grilled fish are very famous."

"Oh, I would love to have that. We will have two sets of your special menu, please. Thank you."

"Yes, yes, thank you for choosing our Inn, Young Lord. May I know your name?"

"It's Yang Ji."

The old man bowed again and then shouted loudly.

"TWO SETS OF SPECIAL MENU FOR OUR LORD YANG JI!"

Following that, a young servant on the side ran out of the inn and began shouting the same thing. This was how this inn pleased their valued customer.

As mentioned earlier, people loved to flex their wealth and power in Murim. Announcing their expensive order like this usually pleased the customers. Not only that, but it also helped to spread a place's reputation.

Many people would love to eat and drink here if the food was good and the service was exceptional.

And, the old man did a good job in making a name for themselves.

The servant returned from outside and immediately showed Leo the way to their table.

"Thank you."

"Thank you for choosing our inn, Young Lord. Please, enjoy your food and don't forget to visit our casino downstairs. We have many games and prizes for everyone. Also, the entertainer will start their dance soon on that stage. I believe you will enjoy it with your beautiful wife."

"My~ Thank you, servant." Jessica giggled and threw a silver coin to the servant for his lip service.

The servant caught it skillfully, hid it under his sleeve, and smiled. Then, he bowed and left after saying that he would bring them their meal soon.
