Mercenary Harem in Murim Novel

Chapter 173 – Found You!

The winner had been decided.

Her axe was on the ground, and her opponent was lying on his back, his body crushed and bleeding. He was still alive, but his eyes were unfocused, and his breath was shallow.

It was clearly her win.

"Perfect." Sherly grinned and stepped forward.

Lee Hae-In's role ended here.

Now it was her turn. She walked to the beaten Gwon and poked him with her foot, her smile bright and her eyes cold.

"Sorry, you lose."

And then, she looked up at the audience, raising her voice.

"Everyone, please gather around! I want to announce something regarding our fighter, our new champion, Lee Hae-In!"

The audience was confused but curious.

"What is it?"

"Is there something wrong with her?"

"What happened? Is it serious?"

The questions continued, and the whispers were getting louder. Right now, Lee Hae-In was the most popular fighter, and they didn't want anything to happen to her.

Every news about her was exciting, and her name was famous.

"Everyone, everyone, quiet!" Sherly raised her hands and shouted, trying to get their attention. "I have a wonderful announcement! And, I have a special guest too. Well, this guest is shy so I bet he won't come out, but I know that he's listening, so there is no problem."

She laughed and raised her voice, looking around.

As a former novelist, she had attended many parties and conventions. Meeting various people whose work included speaking allowed her to learn and steal their skills. Now, she was using her knowledge and experience to attract the attention of the audience.

"Now, the announcement! I will give the information for all of you. Don't worry, I'm sure this will benefit everyone."

"What is it?"

"What is going on? Please tell us!"

The people were getting restless, and the whispering was loud. They were waiting for her to say something, and Sherly wasn't disappointed.

It was the reaction she had been expecting.

"Now, now, everyone. Listen closely." She pointed at Lee Hae-In, a smile on her face. "You might've realized it, but our clothes are always different. We always wore the new fashion that Mercenary Union members wear. Now getting these clothes is easy, however they are just fake ones. Ours are genuine."

Murmurs echoed around her, and the audience was focused.

Those hints were enough to get their attention. People began to understand where she was going.

Essentially, Sherly told them that they were the Mercenary Union members. And that was a surprise to them.

"I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about." Sherly smirked and raised her voice, looking at the audience. "I just received news from my leader. It seems that my leader has taken care of my special guest's Feet, Hands, and his Head. Now we will take care of our client's Torso, Eyes, and their Heart. It's really nic-"

Swoosh!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Before she could finish her sentence, an arrow was shot toward her from the shadows. Sherly didn't even have time to dodge as it hit her head and pierced her skull, killing her instantly.

She fell to the ground, her eyes empty and her body unmoving.

The man just smiled and looked at her, his expression cold and distant. He didn't care about her, and he didn't have time to deal with her. All he wanted to do was to destroy this pest and go back to his mission.

And with a quick movement, he stretched his hand toward her skull, intending to grip and crush it. However...

"It's just like what you fucking said."

Lee Hae-In suddenly grinned and Torso felt a shiver down his spine.

Feeling a danger, he stopped his hand and stepped back, his eyes narrowed. 'Who was she talking to?'

There was no one here, and her voice was hoarse and weak. She couldn't be talking to anyone.

But his instinct was warning him. There was something hidden here. He looked around and tried to find a hidden weapon or an assassin waiting for him.

He found nothing.

Yes, there is nothing.

"Where is the corpse-"

"Are you searching for me?"

A cold voice interrupted his question, and he froze, his body tensing up. A woman appeared under him from the shadow, her body glowing white and her eyes burning with fire. She was holding an arrowhead, its tip coated with blood.

It was Sherly, and she was very much alive.

"I will return it to you."

She threw the arrowhead toward him, and Torso didn't have time to dodge.

The arrow hit his throat, and he choked, blood spilling from the wound.

The wound wasn't that deep, only managing to dig a few millimeters into the flesh since a metallic skin protected his body.

"You!"

Getting angry, Torso tried to grab Sherly, but she had moved already. With a flash of light, she disappeared and reappeared beside Lee Hae-In, looking at the barbarian girl while giggling in amusement.

"Aha! You're getting beaten up after all that. Tell me, how does it feel? Being humiliated like this? Huh, barbarian?"

The crazy bitch had been defeated and beaten, and the audience was panicking and running, trying to escape the scene.

"Grrr..." A dangerous growl escaped Lee Hae-In's mouth, and her eyes were focused, her rage filling her body.

She was still alive and breathing, but her pride was more wounded than her body.

"Hahaha, now, now. Eat this first and recover. You won't be able to continue fighting in your condition." Sherly popped a capsule into the barbarian girl's mouth.

At that moment, a fist connected with Sherly's face, sending her flying and crashing onto the ground. A loud sound of metal hitting metal was heard, filling the underground arena with shockwaves.

"Fucking bitch." Torso spat as he looked at the direction where he sent Sherly flying. "I will take care of you later. For now..."

He turned to where Lee Hae-In was to finish her off. Nothing was more dangerous than a wounded beast.

But when he looked down, he couldn't find her.

She had disappeared.

"Searching for this?"

Again, Sherly's voice rang. This time from the other side of the arena from where he was sent flying. On top of that, there was no visible wound in her body. And she had Lee Hae-In seated next to her.

"What did you do, bitch?" Torso snarled, his eyes focused and his face red with anger.
