Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Looking at the two waiters who looked apologetic but also somewhat proud, Eric calmly said, "Someone inside is waiting for me."

The two waiters\' eyes flickered slightly, and their expressions became more respectful. "May I ask for your name, sir?"

"Eric."

"Mr. Eric, please come in. The young master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Guided by one of the waiters, Eric and his group entered the cafe. On the way, Tang Feiyan pulled Eric and he understood, so he cast a soundproof barrier.

"Eric, from their tone, it seems that this place is owned by the Ming Dynasty family?"

"That\'s right, any property of the Ming Dynasty family will have the character \'明\' (Ming) in it!" Tan Ailing, who knew Eric didn\'t understand these things very well, explained on his behalf.

"It seems we\'re entering the tiger\'s den!" Tang Feiyan said, excited yet nervous. "Just now, I used my spiritual perception and found that those two waiters have near-top-notch skills. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty family is so strong that they can use such experts as waiters?"

"Even a country doesn\'t have that kind of power!" Tan Ailing looked very suspicious. "This should be a temporary disguise for the Ming Dynasty family\'s bodyguards... Didn\'t you hear? They said the \'young master\' is waiting for Eric!"

Tan Ailing sighed inexplicably and added, "You have to be careful not to use your spiritual perception casually. It can be seen as a provocation by high-level experts of the same level! You know, someone with the status of the young master of the five major families will definitely have pre-heaven experts protecting him..."

"Wow!" Tang Feiyan obediently replied, somewhat incredulous. "Ailing, the young master of the Ming Dynasty family, wouldn\'t come out in person just for a small matter like Li Penghao, right?"

"Yeah, I\'m also a bit puzzled about the intentions of this young master..."

"Alright, there\'s no need to guess anymore!" Eric smiled, "We\'ll know the answer soon!"

At this moment, the waiter had already led Eric and them to a private room. Inside, he was saying something to two guard-like individuals standing at the door.

Eric lifted the soundproof barrier just in time to hear the guard on the left exclaim in amazement, "Mr. Eric is indeed worthy of being a pre-heaven-level expert. Your aura is so strong, I couldn\'t even hear a sound! If it weren\'t for my eyes, I wouldn\'t believe you were already standing in front of me..."

Eric nodded faintly, without making any further gestures, just looking at the door of the private room.

Perhaps feeling that a pre-heaven expert should have such a cold and arrogant posture, the left guard didn\'t feel disrespected at all. Instead, he bowed slightly and said, "The young master is inside. Please come in, Mr. Eric!"

Before Eric could take a step, he added, "Please leave your two female companions outside. The young master only wants to see you..."

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan hadn\'t spoken yet when Eric\'s gaze turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "The three of us either go in together or leave together!"

"Don\'t think that just because you\'re a pre-heaven expert, you can be so arrogant!" The right guard seemed unhappy with the left guard\'s somewhat weak tone and preempted him, "You should know that the young master of our Ming Dynasty family is waiting for you inside. Don\'t lose face..."

His disdainful words provoked a simultaneous angry snort from Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan. But before they could act, Eric used a mental magic technique, "Pressure," on him.

Suddenly, the right guard felt inexplicably anxious and frightened. He was sweating all over, his legs trembling, and even his breathing became more and more difficult.

"Mr. Eric, please withdraw your momentum!" Seeing his companion\'s unusual condition, the left guard hurriedly said, "We are just servants and cannot make decisions. If there is any rudeness, please forgive us, Mr. Eric..."

Just then, a clear and pleasant voice came from inside the private room, "The servants are ignorant. Mr. Eric, please don\'t mind them. Please come in with your friends..."

Seeing that the right guard was already showing signs of being intimidated, Eric felt that the lesson had been enough. He withdrew the "Pressure" and, with Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, entered the private room.

As soon as they entered, a handsome young man in his mid-twenties stood up to greet them, smiling, "I am Zhu Mingde. I apologize for the intrusion and hope Mr. Eric won\'t mind..."

"Zhu Mingde?" Tan Ailing asked in surprise. "Are you really Zhu Mingde, the \'arrogant of the heavens\' from the Ming Dynasty family?"

"Hehe, I didn\'t expect the young lady to have heard of me!" Zhu Mingde smiled warmly. Unlike the awe-inspiring look he had when first seeing Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, his eyes now showed no sign of that amazement. "Mr. Eric, Miss Tan, Miss Tang, please take a seat!"

Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan\'s expressions changed slightly. They hadn\'t expected Zhu Mingde to know them. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty family had done some investigation.

Eric gently took their hands and sat opposite Zhu Mingde.

In the private room, besides the four of them, there was an old man with white hair concentrating on brewing tea.

This old man made Eric pause for a few seconds, not out of curiosity as to why he was brewing tea in a coffee shop, but because he discovered that the old man\'s skill was actually not inferior to the Dragon Elephant King of the Shura Sect.

Zhu Mingde was also not simple. Through the True Eye, Eric found that Zhu Mingde\'s skill was definitely not inferior to Tan Ailing\'s. In other words, Zhu Mingde was also a pre-heaven expert!... No wonder he was acclaimed as the \'arrogant of the heavens\'!

Eric also noticed that the old man opposite was using spiritual perception to probe their skills.

Not liking being spied on, Eric immediately set up a barrier around the three of them, blocking the old man\'s spiritual perception, and then smiled at the old man, who also smiled awkwardly, withdrew his perception, and served them tea.

As they enjoyed the tea, Zhu Mingde casually asked, "Mr. Eric, do you happen to know a university student named Ma Taiping?"

"Ma Taiping?" Eric thought for a moment and said, "I once lived in a villa with someone named Ma Taiping, but I wouldn\'t say we knew each other. I don\'t know if he\'s the \'Ma Taiping\' you\'re talking about!"

Zhu Mingde nodded, as if he had already received confirmation, and said, "This Ma Taiping is the son of my seventh grandfather\'s daughter, so he is also my cousin. He used to be quite smart, but now he seems to have become mentally handicapped..."

Eric listened quietly, his expression unchanged. Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, on the other hand, showed a sensitive and compassionate side, both showing expressions of pity.

Zhu Mingde stared at Eric\'s eyes intently and continued, "It\'s not just Ma Taiping. Three others in that villa also had issues! Gu Wenbo became blind, Zhou Shufeng became impotent, and Chang Yingjun became paralyzed..."

Eric responded coldly to Zhu Mingde\'s gaze and asked calmly, "So, Master Zhu came to remind me to go to the hospital early for a check-up to avoid any unknown illnesses?"

"Mr. Eric, you\'re really humorous! With your pre-heaven level of skill, what illnesses could you possibly have?" Zhu Mingde smiled and then said seriously, "I just wanted to ask if Mr. Eric knows what\'s going on!"

"I think you should ask Li Penghao! After all, he spent much more time with those people than I did and might know something..."

"Mr. Eric may not know. Li Penghao is also my cousin. I\'ve asked him. He said that it was after you left that Ma Taiping and the others had problems, and he also mentioned some of Ma Taiping\'s misbehavior to you..."

"So, you\'ve already concluded that I\'m avenging them?"

Zhu Mingde found it difficult to answer this question and could only smile awkwardly, saying, "Our Ming Dynasty family just wants to investigate the truth of the matter. I believe Mr. Eric wouldn\'t want to continue being suspected, right?"

Eric smiled faintly and said, "I don\'t have to cooperate with your investigation just because you suspect me, right? You know, I\'m worth hundreds of thousands per second..."

This playful remark amused Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan but angered the old man brewing tea. He was about to do something, but Zhu Mingde stopped him.

"I also believe that Mr. Eric is definitely not the kind of person who would do such things for fun. Let\'s not discuss this matter anymore!" Zhu Mingde decisively put an end to the matter.

Eric nodded and said, "In that case, we\'ll take our leave!"

"Please wait."

"What else is there?"

"I wonder where Mr. Eric learned his skills?"

"Do I need to answer that question?"

Eric\'s cold and rude retort made the old man brewing tea even more furious, and even Zhu Mingde\'s face showed a hint of displeasure.

"I wonder what Mr. Eric\'s plans are for the future?" Zhu Mingde no longer beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "I represent our Ming Dynasty family and sincerely invite Mr. Eric to join us!"

"You\'re inviting Eric to join the Ming Dynasty family?" Tang Feiyan asked curiously, holding onto Eric\'s arm. "What benefits are you prepared to offer Eric?"

Zhu Mingde glanced at Tang Feiyan and chuckled, "Originally, I was going to marry my sister Zhu Mingfang to Mr. Eric, but now it seems inappropriate!"

Tang Feiyan, who only heard the first half of the sentence, looked annoyed until Zhu Mingde finished speaking. She then smiled and said, "Tell us about the treatment you\'re prepared to offer Eric, but skip the part about women..."

Eric and Tan Ailing did not stop Tang Feiyan\'s nonsense. They also wanted to know what kind of price the Ming Dynasty family would offer to recruit talent.

Zhu Mingde gave Eric a sympathetic look and said seriously, "As long as Mr. Eric is willing to join the Ming Dynasty family, we will give you the treatment of a first-class guest! You don\'t have to deal with any trivial matters of the Ming Dynasty family usually, just follow the orders of the family head. You\'ll receive an annual bonus of 30 million RMB and can freely use the forces below three-star level of the Ming Dynasty family in various places... What do you think, Mr. Eric? Our Ming Dynasty family is very sincere. Consider it!"
