Eric sighed as he walked into the Peninsula Hotel. He had to come to check his property, according to the system, the current manager would be able to recognize him.
Walking into the lobby of the hotel, Eric smiled as he walked towards the receptionist with a smile on his face."Hey, beautiful!" Eric grinned, calling the attention of the receptionist."How much I help you sir?" The receptionist, a young woman blushed as she looked at Eric."I want to see your manager, where is he?" Eric asked."Well..." The receptionist became speechless as Eric's request was rather absurd."Don't worry, damsel, just tell him that Eric Taylor is here to see him." Eric continued seeing the reluctant expression on the receptionist.The Young woman blushed hard hearing what Eric said, though she wanted to refuse the latter, but then he had a rather undeniable charisma and thus didn't want to turn him down.[Ding: ten points received][Ding: hundred points received]A series of notifications rang in Eric's mind. He couldn't help but smile as he checked his stats, his points had risen from zero to about five hundred.All he needed to do was just flirt with girls, and he would be able to acquire points to be able to redeem abilities."Hey, Eric, what are you doing here?" A rather unpleasant voice came just as Eric was lost in his thoughts.Eric frowned as he turned around to look at the figure only to come in the face with Amelia, his ex-girlfriend. Besides her were two of her friends whom he couldn't recognize, and a man who looked rather average."Amelia, is that your ex-boyfriend?" One of the ladies who had a heavy make-up on giggled as she pointed at Eric looking at the latter in disdain."Even though he's handsome, it's a pity he's useless. His handsome face can't do him any good, in the end, he'll become a gigolo to some rich older woman." The other sneered, also looking at Eric in disgust."I must tell you that no matter the amount of begging, I won't accept you back. I told you before that we are both from a different world, there's no need for you to follow me here, I won't listen to your pleas!" Amelia snorted arrogantly.Eric's mouth twitched violently as he looked at Amelia, then at the young man by her side."And besides, you cannot compare to young master Ray by my side here. He has given me all I could ever ask for." Amelia continued even before Eric could say anything."You see this bag, it's worth fifty thousand dollars, you couldn't even get one worth a thousand dollars for me." Amelia sneered as she pointed to a bag she was carrying."Yes, young Master Ray is very generous, he even got one for us." The woman with heavy makeup said as she also flashed her bag in front of Eric.Eric squinted his brows as he looked at Amelia and her friends. Were they hit in the head by something? He just couldn't understand."So what do you want me to do about that?" Eric narrowed his eyes as he stared at Amelia."You see young master Ray, he's far better than you. Besides, he has money and lots of connections that you can't think of. It'll be better if you don't think about me again or try to stalk me, or else I won't take it lightly with you." Amelia sneered."Yes, even the manager of the Peninsula Hotel has to show him some respect if he comes to dine here." The woman with heavy make-up said arrogantly."He has even been given a discount of 95% on whatever he'll buy, do you think someone like you could compare to him?" The other woman sneered."I wonder who gave who, a 95% discount on everything." An arrogant voice came just as Eric was about to say something."Manager Wang!" Ray immediately rushed over to greet a figure approaching them.The figure was a man in his forties, he was neither short nor was he tall. His face had some wrinkles, but at the same time, he had an overbearing aura."Get out of my way brat!" The man said hurriedly, pushing Ray out of his way and walking towards Eric."Director!" Manager Wang greeted Eric and bowed slightly to him."Manager Wang." Eric smiled slightly as motioned for the latter to stand."I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd be here so fast." Manager Wang smiled as he looked at Eric."It's fine, I just came to have a look." Eric smiled as he looked around."Director, here's not too conducive, we should go to my office." Manager Wang said, looking at Eric."No, don't worry, I just came to check this place out. I don't know much about managing Hotels. You should continue running it just as you were doing." Eric shook his head declining the request.He still had a lot of work to do, so there was no need to look at anything. Besides, he has just come to take a look and be acquainted with the manager."Alright Manager Wang, you can go about your business, you don't have to worry about me, I'll be leaving now." Eric smiled as he turned around to leave.Manager Wang breathed in a sigh of relief seeing Eric's actions. The hotel has been acquired all of a sudden.He was just a small manager and didn't dare to question anything.Eric's picture has been sent to him so that he would be able to recognize the latter whenever he comes over. He had thought that the latter was just a rich second-generation brat.He didn't expect Eric to be so easygoing, and he didn't even want to check the accounts of the hotel and just told him to continue to manage it.Eric on the other hand sighed as he walked out of the hotel. He couldn't care less about the shocked faces of Amelia and the others.He didn't even want to think about it as her appearance disgusted him."Hey, where the heck do you think you're going?" Amelia's yell suddenly came just as Eric stepped out of the hotel.Latest Chapter
423: Five Days
The three elders frowned slightly, wondering why their ancestor had finally silent the moment he saw the content of the book.What could be so good that shut him down? Though they were curious, they didn't move closer and could only watch from where they were.After a while, the old man finally finished reading the book, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Eric."How did you know I needed this?" He finally asked after a long moment of silence."Ain't that simple?" Eric clicked his tongue, staring back at the old man as though what he had just done was a normal thing."I'm far stronger than you are, so why are you shocked?"The three men behind froze hearing this as they couldn't believe their ears. This young man before them was stronger than their ancestor?Was that really the case or was he just bluffing? But then the expression on their ancestor's face said otherwise which didn't make it seem like he was lying."So what do you say now?" Eric continued, pushing the matter forward.Af

The old man fell silent for a moment. He didn't know how confident Eric was in making the storage ring, what if he failed? Wouldn't that mean a loss?Though the most expensive part of the storage ring was the ore, and they had a mine of it, it didn't mean he was willing to waste it.Besides, the amount of ore needed was enough to feed the whole clan for at least three months of sold, so he was quite configured."How sure are you that you'll be able to make the storage ring?" The old man asked after a while, his doubts speaking louder than his words."A hundred percent.""Huh?" The old man froze hearing Eric's answer, not believing his ears. Could the young man before him be really that confident in making it?"You don't need to be confused, I'll compensate you if I happen to fail," Eric broke the silence, feeling rather impatient.He wanted to get the ores he needed and leave. There were still a whole lot of things he needed, there was no way he was going to waste time here. That was

"Yesss, it's quite refreshing," Eric nodded, and actively inhaled more of the fragrance."Are you sure about that young man?" The old man raised his brows, staring at Eric, his mouth curled up into a smirk."Yes, absolutely," Eric agreed, then moved closer to the table, preparing to sit."Or do you think such puny poison would have an effect on me?" He inquired, taking his seat right before the old man.The old man's smile vanished hearing this, his gaze suddenly became sharper as he stared at Eric."You didn't think I'll be foolish enough to fall for that, do you?" Eric raised his brows, staring at the old man wondering what he had taken him for.Even if he was clueless about the poison, the system wouldn't have allowed it to take place in his body and would have alerted him the moment he stepped into the courtyard.Not to talk of, he had randomly once bought the skill to be able to detect and make poison.To be safe, it was best to say no one knew poisons more than him. He had origi
420:Poison
The moment he stepped into the gate, Eric's aura surged, and the twins were covered by Eric's immortal Qi.The twins gaped as it felt like they had stepped into another world, but the next second, the illusion broke, and they realized they were still inside the gate, at the same spot Eric had thrown them in, the only thing was they were floating.Without warning, Eric stretched out his hands and made a grabbing motion mid-air, grabbing something, and with a snap, it was as if whatever he had grabbed hold of was broke.Next, the ground shook, and before the twins could blink, the scenery before them changed as they found themselves in what almost looked like another city, or rather, estate.A gentle force guided them as they landed gently.After landing, the twins' gaze wandered, wondering where they were. It looked like they were not within Oaklade anymore as the houses here didn't look like it.Not to mention that, there were many strange buildings around and the Qi in the atmosphere

(The Next Day)"So did you get any tabs on the man?" Eric asked, staring at the twins who didn't seem to be interested in the food before them."Sir, we were unable to find anything, it's as though he never existed," Alex answered after a while, a hint of frustration could be heard in his voice.Though they had followed Eric's instructions, at the same time, even if they had dug deeper, they wouldn't have been able to find anything.But that would risk alerting the other party and according to Eric, there was no need to go that far. So they had no other choice but to stop halfway."Eat up, we've got a lot to do today," Eric glanced at the two, cleaning his mouth with a tissue as he was done eating.The twins were not hungry, after all, they had reached a level in their Cultivation where they wouldn't feel hungry for months.But Eric was far different, he was still eating. It wasn't as though he was hungry, but according to him, there was no way he would stop eating.Half an hour later
418:Pricy Pill
Inside the elevator, the twins glanced at Eric, waiting for him to say something.After the reveal, they were sure he must have something to say."The Ladeson family is more low-key than I thought," Eric chuckled, breaking the silence, an evil smile spreading across his face.If the top families of Oakdale could join hands just to eliminate another top family, this must mean the influence and power of the Ladeson family was far more than he had thought."Trace the driver who brought us here," Eric broke the silence as he stepped out the elevator."Investigate everything about him, I want to know why he's so scared of the Ladeson family," Eric continued, walking towards the door of his room."If by chance you encounter any problems, or obstacles and you think it might be caused by the Ladeson family, then you should withdraw, " Eric added after thinking for a while."We would be visiting the family's residence tomorrow anyway, so don't get yourself or your men in trouble," He instructe
