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

What's The Price?"Huh?" Luna froze the moment she heard this, not believing her ears.Raising her head slowly, she stared at Eric, blinking rather blankly as though she couldn't understand what he had just said."You don't need to be confused; I'm telling the truth," Eric continued, as he couldn't care less about the look on Luna's face."If you're not here to take me back, then how did you know my real name?" Luna challenged, seemingly not believing what Eric had said."Some things are better left unknown," Eric chuckled, shaking his head.He couldn't possibly tell her that he had a system, and the system had told him all about her life and the reason why she ran away from home to become an assassin.Luna's expression changed hearing this. Though she was already expecting Eric to say something like that, actually hearing that made her feel somehow.But then there was nothing she could do about it. She was someone without any cultivation; trying to fight or run away would be like try

Luna Hall "Cough! Cough!" Eric coughed slightly, coming back to his senses.Seemed like things were not going to develop in the direction he wanted. Besides, if he was to take this girl into his harem, wouldn't that mean he would somehow offend the Beyonders?Besides, if she was from a family of immortals, why in the hell was she working as an assassin?Something was wrong. Recently, he had not yet provoked or called much attention to himself to cause people with the ability to hire immortals, right?Or could this just be a side gig for her, and her family didn't know about it?A lot of thoughts rummaged through Eric's mind as he started to overthink things. He was not too sure of what he was seeing.Well, seems like it was not as simple as it was on the surface."Hey, what are you thinking about? Hurry up and let me go." Luna's voice came, pulling Eric out of his thoughts."Sure," Eric agreed, withdrawing his aura almost immediately.This girl's family was a little bit formidable; h

BeyondersThe rest of the journey proceeded peacefully. No one attacked, nor were there any other assassins who made a move.They were no fools and could tell that something was wrong with Alex and Avery."Finally," Eric stretched lazily, alighting from the train. It was already dark, and they would have a bit of a problem finding their way around."Sir, we've already made reservations at the nearest building to the beach," Alex spoke at this moment, looking over to Eric.He and Avery had returned their weapons to Eric, who kept them in his storage ring.There was no need to walk around with a sword and a katana. It was real, and they could be arrested.Though their positions were a little bit special, they didn't want to blow their cover."A car should be here to pick us up any moment from now," Avery added, looking anxiously at her phone.What they feared most was keeping Eric waiting, and that was exactly what was happening now.Their only wish right now was to strangle whoever was

"Trying to do what I'm supposed to do, of course," Alex rolled his eyes, trying to get past Avery who had blocked him."What the heck do you think you're doing? He has helped us countless times, and yet, this is what you want to pay him with? Are you out of your senses?" Avery's expression darkened, blocking Alex fully.One who didn't hear their discussion fully would think Alex really wanted to assassinate Eric."How dumb are you? This is the best time to get rid of him. Haven't you seen the bounty?" Alex frowned slightly, raising his voice, a hint of annoyance could be felt within it."And how's that my business, I won't let you do anything to him," Avery scowled, also raising her voice, at the same time unsheathing her Katana, ready to face Alex."Move aside, he's an easy target right now, it won't be bad if we just finish him off," Alex spoke again, trying to convince his twin, clearly unwilling to fight her."Stop talking, I won't allow you to do anything to him. And if you must,

"Sir," The twins smiled bitterly after stabilizing themselves, shame washed over them as they couldn't meet Eric's gaze.They were defeated under three moves by the other party. But then, they would want to blame him on the fact the other party used poison.Again, according to a law, all is fair in love and war, so they were still at fault.If it were not for the fact they had attacked suddenly, it was clear they wouldn't have been able to land even a blow.And that was shameful to hear."So have you learnt your lesson?" Eric raised his brows, staring at the twins."Yes sir," The two nodded, recalling all that had happened.They had made quite a few mistakes and they were sure Eric must have realized it, but he didn't tell them because he wanted them to learn the hard way.One of the mistakes they made was not understanding the nature of the attack of the other party.Though they could argue they just met her and there was no chance to investigate. From the method used right from the

"Sure," Eric agreed almost immediately, taking a plate of food from the lady."And you two?" The lady turned to the twins, brows raised as she seemed to scrutinize them."Nah, we're good," Alex refused, frowning slightly, feeling as though something was off, but he didn't say anything."Alright then," The lady nodded, her smile gentle as she placed back the food on the trolley.But just as she turned away from them, a sinister smile spread out on her face before it vanished almost immediately before walking into the inner compartments."Don't you think that lady was weird?" Alex turned to his twin, his expression unsettling, his mind replaying the scene over and over trying to find what was wrong."Yeah, she gave off a kind of dangerous aura, and I can't seem to fathom what it is," Avery agreed, eyes also squinting as she thought about it."Sir? Don't you find anything strange with that lady?" Alex couldn't finally hold back and turned to Eric who was devouring the food."Of course, t
