Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Li Penghao wanted to follow but was stopped by the guards outside the villa. Helplessly, he could only stare blankly at the gradually fading figures of Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan. However, there was no lewdness in his eyes, only infatuation.

Eric shook his head and didn't bother him, heading back inside.

At that moment, a guard walked out of the reception room with a puzzled expression, brushing past him. Eric could hear him mutter, "Strange, everything seems normal, why couldn't I hear their conversation inside just now..."

Eric smiled slightly, knowing the man was there to inspect the monitors. Without saying much, he sat on the sofa and started flipping through the morning TV programs.

After about twenty minutes, Li Penghao finally entered and sat beside Eric, glaring at him with hostility.

"What's wrong?" Eric glanced at him and asked, "Do you want the remote control?"

"Who wants to watch TV!" Li Penghao exclaimed excitedly. "Tell me, who are those two stunning beauties to you?"

Eric glanced at him strangely and said, "Didn't I tell you? They are both my fiancées..."

"Nonsense!" Li Penghao questioned loudly, "How is that possible?"

"Why wouldn't it be possible?"

Li Penghao then took out his mirror, looked at Eric, then at his reflection, with a puzzled expression. "With your appearance nowhere near as good as mine, how could two national beauties fall for you at the same time..."

Eric had no words for this excessively narcissistic man.

As Li Penghao compared their facial features one by one, he suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"Eric."

"Eric?" Li Penghao tilted his head, muttered to himself, "In the prestigious families that can be compared to mine, it seems there's no Eric..."

Eric ignored him, focusing on the TV.

Suddenly, Li Penghao stood up, walked in front of Eric, and blocked the TV with his "slick" hair.

"What are you doing? Move..." Eric felt that the person in front of him might not be mentally stable.

Li Penghao said with dissatisfaction, "You are not as good-looking as me, your family background is not as good as mine, and your academic achievements are probably not as good as mine..."

His constant comparison left Eric bewildered, unable to resist interrupting, "What are you trying to say?"

Li Penghao looked at Eric with the eyes of a "human trafficker" and aggressively demanded, "Tell me, what underhanded means did you use to make those two stunning women stay by your side?"

Eric finally confirmed that the person in front of him was not only narcissistic but also suffering from severe delusions. He stood up and went upstairs, not wanting to deal with a sick person here.

"Hey, stop right there..." Seeing Eric fleeing in apparent guilt, Li Penghao became even more suspicious, reaching out to grab Eric's shoulder.

As a physically frail magician, how could Eric let an unfamiliar person touch his body!

In an instant, he teleported out of Li Penghao's grasp and turned around with a hint of anger, "What do you want to do?"

After missing his grab, Li Penghao couldn't help but feel shocked. His grab just now was a careful one, not only paying attention to the angle and timing but also condensing all his strength. He was confident that even a top-notch martial artist couldn't escape his grasp. Yet the young man in front of him clearly didn't possess any internal energy?

...What on earth is going on? Could it be that I'm seeing things? Or perhaps my mind is still on those two beautiful women, causing me to lose focus?

Just then, he heard Eric's question and had to gather his thoughts, answering, "Don't think you can run away, explain yourself clearly to me..."

Seems like this person is severely ill? What flirting with girls, perhaps his family brought him here because of this illness... sigh, as a distinguished mage, why bother arguing with him!

Sighing quietly to himself, Eric turned and went upstairs.

Seeing the person named "Eric" not only ignoring him but also casting a glance of pity at him when turning around, Li Penghao became angry and launched another "Great Dragon Claw".

This time, he was especially careful, not only paying attention to the angle and timing but also condensing all his strength. He was confident that even a top-notch martial artist couldn't escape his grasp!

However, Eric didn't even bother to dodge.

Feeling the "delusional patient" trying to attack him again, Eric no longer tolerated it. He didn't teleport this time but instead cast five consecutive "Qi Shields" to firmly protect his back.

*Puff...*

The Great Dragon Claw, a rather mystical internal martial arts technique, isn't particularly known for its offensive power. How could it break through the defense line composed of five Qi Shields?

Li Penghao, unable to grab Eric and instead being pushed back, stared blankly as Eric, seemingly unaware, headed upstairs without a care, leaving him feeling dejected.

A pre-heaven expert, he's actually a pre-heaven expert. How could he be a pre-heaven expert...

Li Penghao felt a bit frustrated. He had thought that accomplished young individuals like himself at the age of twenty-two were rare, but now, seeing a young man who appeared even younger than himself stepping into the realm of pre-heaven, it was astonishing! Judging from the strength of his protective Qi shield, he should be comparable to Uncle Er by now. How did he train to achieve this...

Li Penghao didn't stay stunned for long because his narcissistic personality returned.

Huh, what's so impressive about it? Just a pre-heaven expert, my family has at least ten of them!... Hmm, it's very likely that he's using his superior strength to coerce those two beautiful women into submission! Such exquisite beauties should be collected and admired, how could they be held captive like this? I must rescue them from suffering...

Li Penghao's delusions flared up again, molding himself into a prince ready to save the princess from the clutches of a dragon!

At this moment, Eric had no idea about the thoughts of this troublemaker that would bring him great trouble. Otherwise, he might have hit him with a spell, turning him into a disabled patient!

The next day, Eric didn't leave his room at all, not even for meals which were brought to him.

There were two reasons why Eric preferred to be bored in his bedroom rather than watch TV downstairs:

Firstly, he didn't want to bully someone with delusions again, feeling guilty afterward.

Secondly, he didn't want to get involved with the four nuisances who had become "patients" in reserve, to avoid arousing suspicion later on.

By six-thirty in the afternoon, a voice came through the speaker, "Mr. Eric, congratulations, your matter has been cleared up. Please pack your belongings and come downstairs, we will escort you out immediately..."

Eric smiled faintly and got up to go downstairs.

In the hall, five people gathered, watching Eric descend confidently, all showing expressions of surprise, as if they still didn't know of his existence.

Seeing Eric open the door, Li Penghao couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"

"Home!"

As Eric closed the door, he overheard a faint conversation from inside.

"Who is this person? Why haven't we seen him before?"

"He came last night around eleven..."

"What crime did he commit?"

"Murder!"

"He came last night, and he's leaving today..."

As the door closed, all speculations were locked inside. Eric smiled and walked toward Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, who were standing outside the cordon with happy expressions.
