Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

The Jinmao Tower is located at the entrance of the Yan'an East Road Tunnel in Pudong, next to Century Avenue, in the heart of the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone. It faces the bustling scenes of Pudong New Area to the east, overlooks the elegant scenery of Shanghai and the Huangpu River to the west, faces the commercial trade area of Zhangyang Road in Pudong to the south, and is bordered by a 10-square-meter central green space to the north.

This 88-story building, the third in the world and the first in China, integrates modern office buildings, luxury five-star hotels, commercial exhibitions, high-end banquets, sightseeing, entertainment, and shopping malls, and was designed by the renowned SO Design Firm in Chicago, USA.

Coincidentally, the owner of this SO Design Firm is Skidmore, the Count of A country, who is considered the most powerful vampire Eric recruited in A country.

Using his platinum VIP status, Skidmore booked all the rooms on the 80th, 81st, and 82nd floors of the Jinmao Grand Hyatt Hotel.

The 80th and 81st floors were occupied by the four major close bodyguards from A country and the chief steward Lusien, who were regarded as personal attendants. They stayed on the 82nd floor.

The Chairman Suite on the 82nd floor of the Shanghai Jinmao Grand Hyatt is the highest and most luxurious suite in Shanghai.

Because of the advance notice from Count Skidmore, the hotel staff already knew Eric's habits, such as not smoking and liking fruit juice.

To take care of this "distinguished" guest, the hotel had rearranged the Chairman Suite before Eric's arrival.

The gilded crystal ashtray was removed from the room. The refrigerator was stocked with various freshly squeezed juices, including orange juice, pineapple juice, watermelon juice, and apple juice, as well as mineral water and milk.

The hotel's executive chef also carefully selected more than a dozen kinds of fruits, made into a special fruit bowl, placed on the round table in the dining room, making the room lively at once.

When Eric walked into this modern-style, luxurious, homey, and artistic room, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

This made Count Skidmore and the hotel manager, who were standing by his side, breathe a sigh of relief.

After sending away the hotel manager who had been speculating about his identity, Eric stood in the living room of the Chairman Suite, looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 180th floor. Explore more stories at empire

The Bund on the opposite side was clearly visible, with twinkling lights on the surface of the Huangpu River. Boats were moving slowly.

Now, beside Eric, there were only the four major close bodyguards, Lusien, and Count Skidmore. The other vampires, due to their low status, could only be on guard outside.

These four and two "ghosts" were loyal to Eric. Before the master spoke, none of them dared to speak.

"Lusien, do you still remember the place where I helped you enhance your strength last time?"

Eric's casual question made Lusien's expression freeze, and he respectfully replied, "I remember, esteemed master! It's a bayou about two kilometers from Longhua Town."

Eric nodded and said, "I'll give you three days. Go buy that piece of land from the Longhua Town government. You are allowed to use any means as long as you don't kill anyone."

"Yes, my master!"

During the three days of waiting for the "Di Sha Jue Yin Ao," Eric didn't just sit idly by. He took the opportunity to promote all four of his major close bodyguards to true pre-heaven-level experts.

The promotion of the four bodyguards naturally relied on the Buddha's sarira.

Because these four were all peak post-heaven first-class experts, it only took the smallest sarira to make them true pre-heaven experts.

According to Eric's estimate, after the promotion, the combat power of the four major bodyguards, while still not matching that of the Dragon Elephant Dharma King, was already much stronger than the Golden Wheel Dharma King.

If they also used their somewhat perverse "clear mind, see nature, Arhat golden body," Eric believed that even the Dragon Elephant Dharma King would have to taste defeat in a one-on-one situation.

Of course, to be safe, Eric also planted spiritual imprints on the four major bodyguards.

After three days, Lusien successfully secured the land.

Eric was not surprised, as he knew Lusien had some minor spells like a charm, and there would be no obstacles or difficulties in such small matters.

What truly pleased him was that while buying the land, Lusien had also hired someone to build a mobile warehouse on the "Di Sha Jue Yin Ao."

This way, ordinary people would not be able to spy on Eric and his actions.

When the large group arrived at the newly built warehouse, Eric began to draw magic arrays.

The Demon Gathering Array, Sacrificial Magic Array, and Concealment Array were all drawn.

However, this Sacrificial Magic Array was different from the one Lusien used before; its effect would be much slower. Although the increase in strength would take longer, it would not be as painful.

After all, these vampires were now Eric's loyal servants, and he had to be considerate.

Eric estimated that it would take about a month for all seventy-six vampires to complete the promotion ceremony.

Of course, not all of these vampires would be able to become dukes, becoming as powerful as pre-heaven experts, as their qualifications limited their development.

Conservatively, at least about thirty of the vampires would successfully be promoted to dukes.

Eric was quite satisfied with this result!

With the addition of the four major bodyguards and Lusien, he would have thirty-five loyal pre-heaven-level experts under his command.

With such a lineup, he would already have the qualifications to act wantonly on Earth!

After settling the vampires, Eric used Count Skidmore's satellite phone to call Tan Ailing's mobile phone. He planned to meet up with Tan and Tang Feiyan in Cangzhou during this month.

Back in A Country, he already knew that Tan Ailing had recovered from her internal injuries. He also knew that she and Tang Feiyan had left immediately after their injuries had healed, unable to face Eric Yun's resentment.

At that time, she had said she was going to visit her parents in Cangzhou, and now he thought she should still be there!

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, "…Who?"

Listening to Tan Ailing's cold voice tinged with impatience, Eric was slightly stunned and said, "It's me, Ailing!"

"…Eric?" After a pause, Tan Ailing's voice immediately became joyful, "Are you done with your matters?"

"Yes. I'm all done!" Eric smiled, "By the way, you don't sound very happy, do you?"

"Not really…" Tan Ailing had only said three words before her voice stopped abruptly. After a few seconds, another pleasant female voice came on, "Eric, please come back soon…"

Without needing to guess, Eric knew that Tang Feiyan had taken the phone from Tan Ailing. He shook his head slightly and jokingly said, "Why, do you miss me that much?"

"It's natural to miss you!" Tang Feiyan said unabashedly, "But asking you to come back quickly is also because we want you to help Ailing solve a big problem!"

"A problem? What problem?" Eric's heart tightened slightly.
