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

"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
425:The Train
(Hours Later)"Sir, where are we heading to?" Alex asked as they walked out of the hotel, the hotel staff blinked, staring at them, wondering when they had walked back in.Well, they had no idea as they all thought maybe it was their colleagues there that morning that saw them."We headed to the train station," Eric answered, flagging down a taxi making the twins wonder where they were heading to.It was already nighttime, and they were sure Eric didn't know any place in Oakdale,so where did he want to go?"I heard there's a beach in a certain part of Oakdale, so that's where we'll be going, Eric continued after a while."Beach?" The twins froze, still not believing their ears. There was no way they were going for a vacation right? But then thinking about it, that seemed to be the case. Eric had given the old man five days to reconsider meaning they had five days to waste.That was just perfect. They could finally relax.They had been busy for quite a while and were only going to ge
424Let Me Sleep
Inside the Harrison Family main gate, the void slashed open and Eric alongside the twins stepped out of it, back into the Array.But this time, the Array didn't attack them as Eric had suppressed it, so they walked out of the gate without any problems."Sir, are we heading back to the hotel?" Alex asked, turning to Eric, wondering where their next destination was."There's quite a lot of things to do, but I actually feel like sleeping first," Eric yawned and then grabbed the twins disappearing from the spot.The next moment, they reappeared in Eric's hotel room. The twins smiled and shook their heads, just as expected, Eric was really unconventional."There are some killers aiming to silence the three of us," Eric broke the silence, calling the attention of the two."They haven't yet latched onto our location for the time being," He continued, yawning as he strolled towards the bed."I want to sleep, before I wake up, get all the information of the killers who have recently entered Oa
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
