Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 247: Resentment



Even Eric was somewhat surprised by the outcome. He originally just disliked the flower-haired young man's loud shouting and wanted to use "Burst Flame," a mid-level fire magic equivalent to a punch from a mid-level esper, to blast him in the face and make him shut up, but who knew it would result in him permanently losing his mouth.

Thinking about it, many strong fortresses are not defended from within. Internal destruction is always easier and more effective!

The flower-haired young man's head was blown to pieces. With no head, his body continued to charge forward. The momentum of his claws made it seem like he wanted to tear Eric apart. He charged forward for five meters, passed Eric, and then fell.

Huan Killer was stunned. Although he knew that since the strength of "Chairman Eric" was unfathomable even to himself, Wolf's defeat was completely understandable. However, he never expected that in the blink of an eye, Wolf not only lost but also lost his life. Moreover, he didn't even know how he was killed. He just vaguely saw a small ball flickering with red light enter Wolf's mouth...

"No..."

A scream of sorrow rang out. Jiaojiao, who had regained consciousness at some point, ran to the corpse of the flower-haired young man, tightly embracing the headless body, crying loudly.

Wang Xingyu and the flower-haired young man had known each other for two years. Although they didn't see eye to eye, they were still "comrades-in-arms." With Wang Xingyu's personality, he naturally wouldn't stand idly by while witnessing his comrade's tragic death.

He roared, and his skin, exposed all over his body, slowly turned yellow, gradually taking on a metallic texture and luster.

Eric was slightly stunned but then understood. This should be Wang Xingyu's ability, the metal-type esper ability.

There are many types of metal-type esper abilities, but overall, they can be divided into two major categories: "control" and "assimilation."

There's not much to say about control; it's just being able to manipulate objects made of metal, making them move and change according to one's will.

It is said that there is an ace in the National Security Bureau who is proficient in the "Qizhi Ruyi, Li Bu Xu Fa" technique, which is the perfect combination of metal-type esper ability and the "Feidao Shu" in Chinese martial arts. Shen Jiajun once expressed great indignation about this person, saying that he was a B-grade metal-type esper and...

In addition, among the top ten super experts in the world of esper, there is one who is a metal-type esper. In legend, this S-class esper can single-handedly destroy a modern army. Because all bullets and shells do not attack him, they return to their shooters. Aircraft, tanks, and armored vehicles are also completely out of the control of their drivers, either colliding with each other or bravely charging off cliffs and into walls.

Eric felt that this statement was a bit exaggerated.

After all, esper abilities are also a form of energy and cannot be used endlessly.

Eric also didn't believe that the S-class metal-type esper's ability to recover could keep up with the rate of consumption...

If there were one or two nuclear bombs in the army, it would indeed be possible to destroy a whole army with a metal-type esper, but the esper would probably not survive either, after all, using esper abilities has distance limitations - the longest effective range of esper abilities is only five hundred meters!

The "assimilation" type of metal ability is different from the pure "control" type, but it is also divided into two sub-categories: "materialization" and "body transformation."

The so-called "materialization" is to use esper abilities to transform a physical object into metal.

For example, someone with the ability to "materialize iron" can turn sand into iron sand, someone with the ability to "materialize silver" can turn wood into silver, and the legendary ability of the "Alchemist" to "turn stone into gold" is the ability to "materialize gold"!

"Body transformation" is the same, except that the esper themselves become either iron or gold!

Looking at Wang Xingyu's golden skin, if it's not gold, it's copper, in any case, it's an extremely strong defensive ability.

After Wang Xingyu completed his body transformation, he pounced towards Eric. However, because of the previous lesson, he closed his mouth.

Eric had no intention of taking action again. He even held back Tan Ailing, who wanted to confront him. At his signal, a guard flew up.

Eric just wanted to see which was more powerful, the strongest defense among espers or the strongest defense among martial artists!

Boom, clang...

The metallic body collided with the Vajra Body.

Two big men exchanged punches, fighting fiercely without any intention of dodging or defending, just head-on collisions.

Because of the special nature of the guard's martial arts, they couldn't practice internal martial arts like "Separate Mountain and Ox" at all, and could only use external martial arts like "Vajra Fist" to deal with opponents. The moves of the Vajra Fist were naturally much more dazzling than Wang Xingyu's, and in the fight, the guard received eight injuries while only managing to land two hits.

Unfortunately, the Vajra Fist couldn't cause any harm to Wang Xingyu, who had transformed his body into metal. At most, it could only push him back four or five steps, after which he would calmly swing his fists and attack again. Similarly, Wang Xingyu's "Golden Fist" also broke through the guard's "Vajra Body" defense. Explore more stories at empire

For a while, the two fought evenly, with no danger.

After seeing Wang Xingyu's situation clearly, Huan Killer breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Eric, saying loudly, "Chairman Eric, we sincerely invite you. How could you be so quick to kill?"

"Sincere?" Eric snorted coldly. "Sneaking into my house late at night and claiming to be sincere? I think you came here looking for trouble, didn't you?"

Huan Killer paused slightly, then said, "Even if our methods are unacceptable to you, you shouldn't kill so recklessly during a friendly match, should you?"

"Just because of his nonsense, he deserved to die!" Eric said, looking at the dead man. But instead of seeing a corpse, his eyes met a pair of extremely resentful and cold eyes.

"Deserved to die? You deserve to die..." The owner of the resentful eyes spoke word by word, "I swear to my Wolf, I will make you pay..."

Such eyes and verbal attacks did not affect Eric at all, but they did provoke Tan Ailing's displeasure, who immediately snorted coldly.

Although Tan Ailing had not practiced Lion's Roar or similar sound wave techniques, her pre-heaven energy-containing snort was not something that Jiaojiao, who was just an ordinary person without esper abilities, could resist. Immediately, the woman who resented Eric sprayed a mouthful of blood and looked weak.

Huan Killer frowned, his expression turning cold, and said, "We've disturbed you this time, so we'll take our leave..."

Eric glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you think this place is a public toilet? You come and go as you please?"

Huan Killer's eyes narrowed, "What, Chairman Eric wants to keep us here?"

"Not necessarily!" Eric shook his head. "As long as you tell us who hired you to kidnap me and Feng Qian, I'll let you go safely!"

Huan Killer stared at Eric fiercely and said softly, "Chairman Eric, do you think you have us in your hands?"

Eric smiled calmly, "Let's speak with facts!" As he spoke, three guards behind him rushed out, attacking Huan Killer, Jiaojiao, and Binger respectively.

Binger, who had been silent all along, was the first to take action, her ice-type ability transforming into a five-meter-long, thigh-thick ice python, fiercely crashing into one of the guards.

Huan Killer also intervened, stopping two guards, and in the meantime, said to Jiaojiao, "You go first..."

Jiaojiao showed a lot of camaraderie and refused to leave first, "But what about you?"

"Don't worry, as long as we want to leave, we can't be held here!" After the flower-haired young man's death, his arrogance seemed to have transferred to Huan Killer.

Jiaojiao no longer insisted and picked up the headless body of the flower-haired young man, looking at Eric with resentful eyes once again, screaming fiercely, "I will make you pay..." After shouting these words, she disappeared.

Eric didn't watch the other fights but stared solemnly at where Jiaojiao disappeared.

"What's wrong, Eric?" Sensing Eric's expression, Tan Ailing asked with concern, "Are you worried about that woman?"

Eric shook his head, showing a smile. "I didn't expect that woman's ability to be quite interesting!"

"That shouldn't be invisibility, right? Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't be able to escape your True Sight! Is she a spatial-type esper?" Seeing Eric nod, Tan Ailing asked curiously again, "What's interesting about it?"

"Ailing, do you know, I've sealed off the space here? Unless someone's strength exceeds mine, it's impossible to break through the restrictions here..."

Tan Ailing certainly didn't think that the strength of the woman who escaped exceeded Eric's. She became even more curious.

"I guess that woman's ability must not be the kind that can only shuttle between different locations in the same space, like 'Teleportation,' but a high-level spell that can travel between different dimensions!" Eric's eyes were eager.

If that woman really could travel between different spaces, he would bring her back for careful study.

As long as he understood the principles of her ability, he believed that with his abilities, it would not be difficult to build a safe spacetime channel connecting to Celestia.

With his mind elsewhere, Eric didn't want to see these annoying fights anymore. He waved his hand, indicating for everyone to go up and finish the fight quickly.
