Imagining someone like that joining a group was difficult, especially a group that didn’t just focus on a fair duel but a large-scale job like joining wars with trickery and traps.

"I think the best we can do is have a good relationship with each other and promise not to fight to death if we somehow meet on the battlefield. The Central Plains and Murim were just hit by turbulence. Many Clans will use this chance, when the Tang Clan is weak, to try and seize controls."

"Which means, wars will break out between many Clans and Sects in the Central Plains." Jessica finished his word in an emotionless voice. "We will probably move from one battlefield to another. I doubt you, as a person, are interested in that kind of life."

"As she said." Leo nodded and looked at Xiao Ah-Tian.

"Hmm, you’re right." The Wandering Sword Saint nodded deeply, "I am interested in a fair and square fight, not a war. Battlefield is tasteless and has no respect for warriors. Even the strongest can fall from ambush in that kind of environment. That’s indeed not the kind of life I wanted to have."

"And what do you want to do then?" Shui asked as he poured two cups of alcohol for himself and Xiao Ah-Tian. His monotonous voice was still the same as ever but it had a hint of curiosity inside it. "Continue roaming around? If you want to fight me again, just give me a call. Chiaki gave you a small Coco yesterday, I believe."

"Hahaha, yeah. I didn’t expect to receive something like this and I would use it well. Dueling with you and your Leader was fun. Let’s meet again in the future."

Leo chuckled and replied with a smile, "Sure thing."

After that, Xiao Ah-Tian let out a sigh and shook his head before leaving the base. The Wandering Sword Saint continued to walk straight forward with no destination in mind, but it was clear that he would return and meet them again in the future.

Maybe on the battlefield.

Days passed pretty quickly. Anya was responsible for teaching Astrid about the base and how they operate. Surprisingly, the brunette accepted her new life pretty quickly.

At first, she struggled with the new clothes and eating habits, but after a week of learning it with Jessica’s help, she finally got used to it.

No job came to them during that time, so the gang spent their days enjoying the lavish life without doing anything. This was due to Tang Clan still taking care of the aftermath of their attack.

News about the fight had spread far and wide in the Central Plains. Sometimes, the name Thunder God and Hallowed Insect mercenary were also mentioned in some rumors. Although only a few people knew their faces, it was still a lot more than before.

Despite this, no job came to them for the whole time. Everyone focused on tasks at hand. Jessica was focusing on making connections by visiting some places with Jack. Shui protected the base and cooked. While Chiaki was doing research in the infirmary.

The bob-haired girl never exited the place since she entered, making Leo worried.

Currently, he was laying on his bed, re-reading the novel to remember every important detail of the plot and taking notes to prepare for the future.

’Ah... I can’t believe that Tang Yao actually appeared like this. In the novel, Tang Jiaofu was dead in that battle, huh? And Tang Soso managed to break through 6 Stars after that, or so it was said. But the reality was different. She was already 6 Stars before the battle.

The author really hides a lot of things from the readers.’

This kind of author was trash and had a big problem. He hid a lot of information and plot twists in a sense that readers couldn’t catch up until it was revealed to them in the book. Which explained why the story progressed pretty quickly with tons of cliffhanger without giving many answers to readers.

’The story hasn’t finished yet. But now, Kim Min-Gu is with Heavenly Demon in the hidden village. I believe they are training to become stronger. Kim Min-Gu... When he is strong enough, he will go out to join Murim and exact revenge. Also, it’s best if I don’t help the Tang Clan right now.’

If Leo remembered correctly, Kim Min-Gu was only 18 years old at the end of the 1st volume, which means he had plenty of time to train under his teacher.

’I don’t think he will appear any time soon. I need to concentrate on consolidating my influence here in Central Plains as fast as possible while not offending anyone... Which is impossible. Let’s try not to make too many enemies, then.’

People in the Central Plains got offended easily.

For example, having a different opinion from another could lead to a fight to the death. Hell, even bumping shoulders could lead one getting killed by a martial artist.

Their egos reached the sky, even taller than the tallest mountain.

He couldn’t have Tang Clan as an enemy. There were some groups in Murim that he needed to avoid too.

Being a mercenary wasn’t always doing a job and getting paid. As a leader, he had to think about the consequences of his actions and avoid creating unnecessary enemies that might hunt him down in the future.

As for now, he believed that no one would dare to touch them other than Hao Sect. They knew no dangers and would risk their lives for information. The chance of an unknown person being hired by someone for an assassination was higher than him having enemies.

’The smart thing to do is build my base to Level 3 before the large war in the future. I need access to some of my heavy weapons and recovery drugs to ensure our safety.’

The next thing after the Tang Clan’s problem and Murim World’s turbulence would be...

’The Crazy Bitch.’
