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."And how's that your business?" Eric frowned, turning around slowly to face Amelia."Why didn't you tell me in the past that you were rich?" Amelia gritted her teeth as she pointed at Eric.She couldn't believe that the latter had hidden such a huge secret from her and had let her suffer for many years."And why should I tell someone who's not grateful?" Eric squinted his brows as he looked at Amelia."You..." Amelia gritted her teeth as he pointed at Eric."Tell me, in the past, when have you ever been content with what I did for you? All you did was criticize me and compare me to your friends who had rich boyfriends, and yet you want me to tell you about my wealth?" Eric raised his brows as he said calmly."I'm afraid you're not worthy." Eric shook his head as he continued."Eric, I'll never forgive you for what you did," Amelia yelled."Forgive me?" Eric raised his brows."I thought you were the one who said we were not from the same world? Yeah, that turned out correctly, we're no
Next, Policemen alighted from the car and immediately rushed toward Eric.Officers, arrest him, he's the one who beat them all up," Amelia said quickly as she pointed at Eric."Young man you're under arrest for assault." The leader of the police team, a beautiful young woman with absolute curves in the right places and hair tied into a tight bun, approached Eric and tried to handcuff him."Officers, let me explain, it's all self-defense, they attacked me first." Eric smiled bitterly as he tried to escape.The female police officer didn't even look at Eric and dragged him to the car."Round them up also, and take them to the hospital." She commanded and got into the car."You have to listen to me, really didn't do it on purpose, they attacked me first." Eric sighed as he tried to explain, but it was useless, the woman was not going to listen to him.Soon they arrived at the police station. The female police officer didn't even take a look at Eric and directly took him to the interrogat
She had never felt humiliated in her life, yet this hooligan in her front continued to humiliate her at every given turn. She had to teach him a lesson."If you put all this energy somewhere else, it would have been good, and we would both benefit from it. You know what I mean!" Eric grinned looking at the woman."I'll kill you!" The woman yelled as she grabbed the gun on the table.Alright, I didn't expect you to be that violent, but this shouldn't have escalated up to this case. There's still room for negotiation, you know." Eric smiled awkwardly looking at the woman who was pointing a gun at him."I don't care, you have to die today!" The woman yelled."You know you'll be killing your husband if you shoot me. At least, you should think about the future. You'll be single for the rest of your life if you do kill me." Eric Shrugged."I'm probably the only one who wants you." Eric shrugged."Shut up!" The woman yelled as she tried to pull the trigger.But then she froze as she realized
"I thought you'd chicken out, hooligan." Evelyn's cold voice came just as Eric was wondering how he should escape."Why would I chicken out when I have a beauty like you accompanying me? I'd rather court death than miss the chance to spend time with you." Eric grinned as he walked towards Evelyn."You'd better stop saying nonsense!" Evelyn glared at him as her face turned red in embarrassment."Chief, why are we taking him along, he'll just be a distraction?" One of the police officers, a tall muscular man, frowned as he looked at Eric with disdain."None of your business." Evelyn sneered and got into the van alongside the others.Soon, the van arrived at the outskirts of the city after about a 30 minute drive. Soon, an uncompleted building came into view and the Van parked a few distance away from the building.Getting down from the Van, Evelyn and the other police officers move stealthy toward the building, according to their sources, the drug transaction should have begun.Only Eri
Huh?Evelyn froze upon hearing Eric's words. What the hell did he think he was saying? There was no way they could escape from this."Beauty, seemed as though you looked down on me," Eric raised his brows, his voice bringing Evelyn out of her thoughts."And how do you want to do it?" Evelyn managed to suppress her anger as she looked at Eric."Just tell me, what you'll give me in return." Eric grinned, staring right into Evelyn's eyes."Can't you just help us, considering the situation we are in?" Evelyn gritted her teeth as she said in annoyance."Well, you should know there's nothing like a free lunch. Besides, wouldn't I be dumb if I don't take this opportunity to get closer to my wife, who's constantly seeking to murder her husband?"Eric laughed as he looked at Evelyn snugly."You!" Evelyn gritted her teeth in anger, her chest heaving up and down, as a result, the two huge mountains on her chest looked rather unstable."You should probably calm down, those two mountains are proba
"And me what?" The drug lord asked, looking at Eric with a smile on his face, wanting to see how this Young man in front of him was going to get himself and the others from the situation they were in."Well, how should I start?" Eric muttered slightly looking at the man."Oh yeah, I have an idea!" Eric smiled as he started."And I'd love to listen." The drug lord nodded in reply."How about we join forces?" Eric asked with a raised eyebrow."Huh?" Everyone froze upon hearing Eric's statement."What do you mean?" The drug lord frowned as he asked, looking at Eric with a smile on his face."You see in the first place, I was never a police officer, nor do I intend to help them." Eric shrugged."You see, if both of us work together, we can create a new world. A world where you don't have to be hunted by the police."Evelyn frowned hearing Eric's words, though she didn't know what the latter was trying to do, she still decided to trust him. After all, he was their only hope."Isn't power w
"Huh?"Evelyn froze looking at the drug lord who had surrendered himself, there was even a crazed look on his face."What are you waiting for, aren't you going to round up your criminals?" Eric's voice came just at the moment bringing Evelyn out of her thoughts."I'll kill him if you move." At that moment, a voice came stopping everyone in their tracks.The police officer who happened to be the mole had already taken one of the other police officers hostage and was now pointing a gun at his head."What do you think you're doing?" The drug lord flew into a rage."You're standing in the way of my honor.""Quickly release him, or else I won't let you live." The drug lord growled as he looked at the police officer angrily."Fucking shut up, don't you know that you've been deceived by that trash? If you're captured now, do you think you'll be able to escape?" The police officer sneered."Of course, I'll be able to escape. Who do you think I am?" The drug lord replied proudly."Fuck it," Th
"System, open up the reward," Eric muttered in his heart as he walked along the roadside.[Rewards: five thousand points, Twenty Million dollars eighty percent shares of Wangjin Dock and Cisco technological company]Eric's mouth curled up into a smile seeing the generous rewards the system had given him. Wangjin Dock was one of the largest seaports in the city and now, he owned eighty percent of its shares.But what the hell was with the Cisco technological company? Bringing out his phone, Eric searched for the company and soon, his face scrunched up."System, why didn't you just give me other companies?" Eric couldn't help but grumble.Cisco's technological company was declining rapidly, it would be a tiring job if he wanted to make it rise to the top again. This was because the last product which they Launched had a bug in it and they failed to recognize it in time, as a result, causing a lot of casualties."The system doesn't want the host to be useless and idle all day long.
