Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 138 The Strange Waiter

As Tang's father's immediate superiors, the Secretary and the Mayor were naturally familiar with Tang Feiyan, and they had also heard of Tan Ailing's fame. Now, they took a moment to appraise Eric, who remained as aloof as ever in their presence.

The political bigwigs appeared quite amiable, but it seemed they didn't have much in common with Eric and his group.

Seeing this, Tang's father immediately said, "Feiyan, you guys go play by yourselves, don't disturb Dad and Uncle Delbosky's discussion..."

Tang Feiyan gladly agreed. After politely bidding farewell to the big shots, she took Eric and Tan Ailing toward the dining table.

"This setup is so awkward!" Tang Feiyan complained as she looked at the small dishes on the table. "I thought it would be a round table, but they've divided the dishes and snacks into portions! What's the difference with a Western-style banquet? Dad messed up..."

Complaints aside, they still needed to eat.

Ignoring the eyes around them, the three of them picked and chose from the long, narrow dining table, selecting more than ten dishes and snacks. They took them on three trays to a corner and began to eat.

Eric caught a sweet and sour pork rib that Tan Ailing handed to him and asked vaguely, "What do you think of the three doors outside?"

"Not bad!" It was unclear whether Tang Feiyan's comment was about the three doors or the piece of braised pork on her chopsticks.

While wiping the sauce from Eric's mouth with a napkin, Tan Ailing shook her head and said, "Those three doors can only prevent dangerous items, but they can't eliminate dangerous people!"

"Exactly." Eric agreed. "Although in this world, more people die from firearms and poisons than from martial arts, in such occasions, the real danger lies in those skilled in martial arts..."

"Why do you say that?" Tang Feiyan, who was wrestling with a chicken leg, asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, those three doors can detect metal and gunpowder, but they can't detect martial arts or abilities!"

"Eric, you haven't discovered anything, have you?" Tang Feiyan asked nervously. After all, her father was in charge of this banquet, and if something happened, it would be troublesome.

"Not really," Eric said indifferently. "I just found out that there are many martial arts experts and people with abilities in the banquet hall!"

"Ah... I have to go tell my dad!"

Tan Ailing grabbed Tang Feiyan, who was about to get up, and jokingly scolded, "You impulsive girl, you're also a pre-heaven expert, don't you know how to use spiritual awareness?"

"What?" Tang Feiyan looked puzzled. But by now, she had relaxed because, from Tan Ailing's expression, she could tell that things weren't bad.

"Those people don't have any hostility or killing intent, so they're probably not here to cause trouble. Most likely, they are super agents secretly protecting the big shots! Try to sense it yourself now, see if you can find the positions of those martial arts experts and people with abilities..."

While Tan Ailing was teaching Tang Feiyan how to use the unique spiritual awareness of a pre-heaven expert, Ye Simin, dressed in a white suit and looking elegant, entered the banquet hall with a handsome middle-aged man.

"Zhenglin, you're late!" Tang's father said with a smile to the handsome middle-aged man who was walking towards them.

"Please forgive me, please forgive me. If it weren't for my son's mistake, I would have come here earlier..." It seemed that this middle-aged man was quite familiar with several political bigwigs.

The Vice Premier looked slightly interested as he glanced at Ye Simin and asked with a smile, "Is this your talented son studying in E country?"

"What talent? He's just a bookworm!" Although Ye Zhenglin shook his head and sighed, the pride in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

"You're just trying to be clever!" Tang's father jokingly scolded him, "At the age of 22, obtaining two bachelor's degrees from Cambridge University in E country, what kind of talent is that?"

Ye Zhenglin was somewhat proud and somewhat helpless as he said, "What's the use of so many degrees? This kid doesn't come to the company to help me, and now he wants to study public relations..."

At this point, seemingly irritated, he shouted at Ye Simin, "Simin, why don't you come over and greet people!"

Ye Simin, who was staring blankly at a corner of the banquet hall, did not respond to Ye Zhenglin's words.

Ye Zhenglin felt a bit embarrassed and was about to slap Simin on the head.

The Vice Premier, who had a good impression of Ye Simin, stopped him, pointed to the corner, and his face showed a hint of ambiguity.

The several big shots suddenly became interested and looked along Ye Simin's gaze. In that corner, surprisingly, were Eric and the other two.

"Ye Simin, do you know Miss Tang?" Tang's father was a little strange. Although he was familiar with Ye Zhenglin, the younger generation of the two families had never gathered together.

Prompted by her father's "gentle reminder," Ye Simin finally retracted her gaze, slightly embarrassed, and apologized to the big shots before saying, "Yes, Uncle Tang, Miss Tang, and I are neighbors now!"

Tang's father then remembered that his daughter now lived in Ziyuan, so he nodded in understanding.

Meanwhile, Delbosky, showing no sense of seniority, grinned and asked, "From the way Young Master Ye looks at Miss Tang, it seems like he has designs on her?"

With Delbosky's peculiar accent, Ye Simin completely heard "Miss Tang" as "Tan Miss." Thinking her thoughts were exposed, she blushed immediately.

His shy appearance amused the big shots, and they all chuckled.

Seeing Ye Simin becoming increasingly uncomfortable, Tang's father began to like her more and couldn't help but speak up to help his "son-in-law," "Alright, Ye Simin, you go find Feiyan and them, don't accompany us, old guys..."

Ye Simin nodded repeatedly as if granted amnesty, politely bid farewell, and hurried over to Tan Ailing.

Watching her back, Delbosky smiled at Tang's father and Ye Zhenglin, "It looks like you two will become relatives in the future!"

The Karins family was originally an inconspicuous European family of thieves over three hundred years ago. One day, a young member stole a forbidden black book from a large cathedral in Italy.

Because of this book, the Karins family was issued the highest level of wanted order by the Vatican. All twelve members of the family, except for that young member, were killed by bounty hunters.

Because the Vatican's influence in Europe was so powerful, no matter how the young member hid, he would eventually be discovered by the bounty hunters. Later, out of resentment, this young member boarded the Mayflower to the New World.

This decision was quite correct.

At that time, the Americas were seen as a wilderness by Europeans, so the Vatican had almost no power there, and no bounty hunters were willing to cross the dangerous ocean to chase a thief to such a distant place. Therefore, the young member of the Karins family settled there.

For the mastermind who had caused their "family to be destroyed and scattered," the only surviving member of the Karins family naturally would not let him go, vowing to figure it out.

Unfortunately, the black book was not only written in ancient medieval texts, but its content was also extremely obscure. Therefore, until the young member died of old age, he still didn't understand what this thing, highly valued by the Vatican, was!

Fortunately, he had descendants! Explore hidden tales at empire

After more than a hundred years of effort by five generations, the contents of the black book finally saw the light of day again!

It turned out to be the personal notes of a medieval genius necromancer!

The Karin family, who had finally unraveled the secret that had plagued them for more than a hundred years, was astonished, frightened, and excited.

After lengthy and careful consideration, the head of the Karins family at the time made a decision, which was to secretly arrange for disciples in the family to practice necromancy.

Although they were determined to practice this evil magic considered taboo by the world, the process was not smooth. Because this black book was only the personal notes of that genius necromancer, not a manual for practicing magic.

To understand how to meditate, and how to accumulate magic power. To understand the correct meanings of various magical terms in the black book, the Karins family exhausted their efforts and suffered a lot.

After nearly a hundred years of struggle by three generations, the Karins family finally compiled a set of effective necromancy practice techniques.

With the power of necromancy, the Karins family dominated in country A.

However, no matter how powerful a family is, it cannot compete with a country. In order not to be suspected by the government, the Karins family did a lot of work and even sent many disciples to join the special agencies of the country.

Roger Karins was one of them.
