Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 110 – Four Wind Banquet

"Yes. It contained one of his methods, a complete version that allows a martial artist to learn his technique. A talented martial artist will be able to trace all his technique from here, racking up many achievements."

"My goodness, where did you find such a thing?" Wu Jian gasped. "This is amazing. You can definitely enter the banquet with this."

Hearing that, Leo smiled. That would be enough to secure a connection with Four Wind Merchant's CEO.

"How about the second item? Is it as exceptional as this one?"

After seeing a rather... unique and strong method, Wu Jian couldn't stop himself from asking. He had a high expectation of the young merchant in front of him.

"Fufufu, show him, dear husband. Master Wu can't wait to see it." Jessica spoke, her voice soft and sweet.

"Right, of course." Leo replied.

He took out another box and opened it. This was the box he secured from the slum just a few hours ago.

"It's..." Wu Jian couldn't finish his sentence.

What was inside the box was the ring that Four Wind Merchant had searched for more than a year now. The ring that the owner cherished so much that he sent his own guard to find it.

"Crystal Ring... Truly... Is this real?"

"You may check it. It's real." Leo smirked.

"No, no, no. I believe you." Wu Jian waved his hands and took a deep breath. "You're really something else, Young Lord. Where did you find this? We... Maybe you don't know this, but this is a ring that our owner cherished. We spent a lot to get it back after it got stolen."

"Hahaha, I am just lucky. You said it yourself, that I was lucky." Leo laughed merrily. "To be honest, I have experience as an item appraiser. When the people attacking me were taken care of, I noticed this extraordinary ring in one of them. I took it as part of compensation, but to think that it's a Crystal Ring. Imagine my surprise when I found out."

"I see." Wu Jian sighed, his voice filled with wonder.

The way he told his story made it sound as if it was all a coincidence. That he was just an ordinary merchant who happened to meet a former guard of Four Wind Merchant and was able to take advantage of the situation.

However, Wu Jian knew better.

"Yes, Leader. I have contacted a stylist and a makeup artist. We just need to appear in the banquet tonight with the items and the rest will be according to plan."

"Perfect. We can't mess up. This is the chance to secure a connection with a real rich merchant and expand our network."

"Yes, Leader."

Unlike the previous night, today was a bright and sunny day. The sky was clear and the wind was calm.

The Capital City was bustling with people, and the street was filled with shops and markets. At the center of the city, a grand banquet was held in the Four Wind Merchant's estate. Many carriages could be seen entering the estate, carrying important guests and merchants from far and wide.

Among them was a simple carriage, driven by an old man.

Inside, Leo was sitting with Jessica, who was wearing a beautiful red dress.

Her long and slender legs were exposed, showing her perfect skin and smoothness. She had a beautiful necklace that sparkled under the sunlight, and her hair was tied in a central bun, making her look regal and graceful.

When they reached the gate, they were greeted by the guard.

"Good evening. Do you have the item?" The guard asked.

"Of course. Here's the item." Leo handed him the box containing the manual scroll. "This is Raging Tiger's martial art method manual. Master Wu Jian from the Four Wind textile shop has confirmed the authenticity of the scroll."

"Master Wu? Wow, you must be important." Experience exclusive tales on empire

"Hahaha, no. Not really. Just a simple merchant with a bit of luck."

"Alright. Please proceed to the banquet hall. May I know your name to register the item?"

"You may call me Yang Ji from Yang Trading. And, this is my wife, Yang Rong."

"Understood. Have a pleasant night."

With that, the guard let them through.
