Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 38 - 38 – Drugged

Leo, who had disguised himself as a guard, watched everything silently. He wanted to confirm something before leaving quietly without anyone noticing him.

’I expected it, but Anya’s report is a milder version. Now that I scan them, Tang Yao is indeed a monster with how his skin is stitched together with something dark and covered by his flesh. There’s no doubt this is caused by a certain evil thing.’

With that thought, he followed other guards to their post before sneaking away. He deactivated his optical illusion when he wasn’t seen by anyone.

He was in his suit again. His slightly long hair tied in a ponytail fluttered when hit by the wind.

Ready to meet someone crazy, he confidently walked toward the Tang Clan manor once again. The funeral was coming to an end. When he got to the entrance, the guards stopped him.

"Where do you think you are going?"

"I am here for business." Leo answered simply. "Inform Tang Yao that Leo is here for a visit. He will understand my reason to come here."

"He’s mourning. We don’t allow any guests to meet him."

"Tell him I will meet him right now or the deal is off." Leo declared while pointing at the leader of Tang Clan inside the manor. "I am sure if I just walk away here with my words, you will be in trouble."

With that, the guards seemed conflicted and started whispering among themselves before nodding in unison. The lead guard said, "Alright, wait here."

"There’s no need for that. He’s my guest."

A voice interrupted their discussion before Leo could answer, causing all of them to look at the figure behind them.

"Second Young Master." One of the guards greeted Tang Yao with a smile as he passed by them and stopped in front of Leo.

With that, he smiled at Leo and waved his hand, signaling him to follow him. Both of them entered the manor after Tang Yao ordered the guards to stand back.

"I will handle this. Don’t disturb us."

"Yes."

After saying that, the second Young Master drank his tea. He looked like he enjoyed it a lot.

"We don’t get Spring Tea often, so this is a rarity for us."

"Is that so? Then let me partake in it."

Leo then tasted his tea and found it slightly bitter but delicious, with a hint of fruitiness hidden beneath the herbal aroma that made it taste almost like water. The subtle flavor and aroma were enough to make him crave for more, but he knew better than to keep drinking it.

[Poison detected.]

[Drug detected.]

[Hallucination induced agent detected.]

[Addicting substance detected.]

’Holy crap,’

The smart lenses informed him of the harmful substances inside his body. He had guessed that Tang Yao tried to drug him but he didn’t expect the drug to be so dangerous. And many. He swallowed involuntarily as he read the description.

’Damn snake.’

[Neutralizing harmful substances.]

[Complete.]

If not for his Nanites curing him from whatever it was that poisoned him, he would’ve become an addict right there and then. That was how powerful those drugs were.

"Is there something wrong?" Tang Yao asked him innocently as he saw Leo stopped drinking his tea.

"Nothing. This is the best tea I have ever drunk."

He finished the tea in one go after saying it, putting it on the table once again to show Tang Yao that he drank it all.
