Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

The magical civilization born on Earth was far less prosperous than Celestia, and necromancy, considered taboo, was no exception.

Basically, apart from summoning skeletons or zombies to help in combat, necromancers had almost no other means of self-defense.

However, the Karins family, as descendants of a secret disciple of the medieval genius necromancer, had more than just this attack method.

Corpse Explosion Technique, an attack method developed by the genius necromancer, was used to compensate for the slow movements of zombies.

This spell was similar to the "Self-Destructing Warriors" of the Shura Sect, using the body as a medium to shatter bones and blood to harm others. Its power was not weak, roughly equivalent to two-handed Eric.

Roger's plan at this moment was to run to Delbosky, launch the Corpse Explosion Technique, and successfully end the mission.

His plan was obviously too smooth. He ignored Eric, who gave him a sense of unease, and was completely immersed in the joy of completing the mission.

Of course, Eric wouldn't go easy on this disobedient necromancer. He immediately took action... with his spiritual power!

In "Dark Chronicles," there were many ways to deal with necromancers, and Eric used one of the gentler ones, "Soul Seize."

"Soul Seize" was a spell commonly used by necromancers to spar with each other! By relying on powerful spiritual power, the caster would expel the enemy's spiritual power from zombies and skeletons, thus seizing control of the enemy's undead soldiers.

Because of his natural affinity with mages, Eric carefully controlled his spiritual power, fearing that exerting too much force would harm the necromancer behind the corpse.

However, the other party didn't appreciate his kindness at all.

In Roger's view, although the young man who was most likely also a mage had a slightly higher spiritual power than himself, it was not something he couldn't resist.

Now that the task was about to be completed, he naturally couldn't give up.

Dividing his mind into three, he resisted Eric's spiritual invasion, rushed madly towards Delbosky, and preemptively launched the Corpse Explosion Technique.

Roger's ungrateful resistance annoyed Eric. Coupled with his discovery of the mutation of the leading corpse through the "True Sight," he unleashed his spiritual power without reservation.

"Ah!!" In the restroom, Roger's body let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground. Under the powerful impact of Eric's spiritual power, he had become a vegetable, not knowing when he would be discovered.

Although the out-of-control leading corpse fell to the ground, it continued to slide towards the bigshots due to inertia.

Because the Corpse Explosion Technique had begun to take effect, Eric, fearing to harm Tang's father, secretly used the Swift Step technique, rushed forward, and kicked the body that was about to explode away with one foot.

In such a public place, Eric naturally couldn't openly use magic, so he had to use the body technique to achieve his goal.

This sudden change made Tang's father, Delbosky, and the other bigshots stop in their tracks, stunned.

They couldn't understand why the "master" suddenly rushed towards them? Why would someone with the skills of a "master" stumble and fall? Why could the young man named Eric kick away a person who was possibly a "pre-heaven expert" with just one foot? Could it be that Eric was an even more powerful super expert than a pre-heaven expert?

These series of questions left the bigshots speechless, not knowing what to say.

Meanwhile, Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, who had been following Eric closely, also stood up and walked over. Ye Simin naturally followed closely behind them.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of others in the banquet hall, and everyone's eyes turned towards them. Some busybodies even crowded around.

"Bang..."

After a light sound, there was another scream.

Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a trembling female waiter standing in a corner, and at her feet, there was a corpse with a large hole in its chest. Judging from its appearance, it was the leading corpse that Eric had kicked away just now.

After seeing this scene, many people were shocked and some even vomited on the spot.

The plainclothes experts who were on guard in the banquet hall immediately split into two groups, with one group surrounding the bigshots and the other group quickly heading to the scene of the corpse.

The female waiter was already in a state of shock and couldn't answer the questions of the plainclothes agents. Fortunately, a male waiter beside her also witnessed the whole process and, with a pale face, intermittently explained what had happened.

It turned out that both he and the female waiter were subordinates of the leading corpse. When they saw their boss being kicked by someone, they were ready to go over and help. Who knew that when they were three or four meters away from the leading corpse, they saw the leading corpse's chest suddenly bulge, followed by an explosion.

Upon hearing this description, Eric knew that it must be the result of the Corpse Explosion Technique. He just didn't know if the power had greatly diminished due to not being completed.

Eric didn't like such a noisy scene, so he immediately decided to take Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan home.

"Please wait..." Just a few steps away, they were stopped by plainclothes agents with wine glasses.

"What's wrong?"

"We would like you to come back and assist in the investigation." Although the word "please" was used, the tone was cold and not to be refused.

"It's already late today. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Eric's immediate refusal changed the plainclothes agents' expressions immediately. A person who looked like the leader said, "Sir, because the deceased had contact with you before he died, we have reason to believe that you are a suspect. Please come with us to assist in the investigation..."

"What..." Tang Feiyan stood up protectively, and said angrily, "Do you think Eric... Mr. Eric is a murderer?"

"We can't conclude that yet. We need to investigate... But based on the current situation, Mr. Eric is undoubtedly the prime suspect!"

Tang Feiyan wanted to say more, but a stern voice came from behind her, "Feiyan, don't be reckless..."

"Dad, do you also think that Ailing's fiancé is a murderer?"

At this point, Tang's father was really in a dilemma.

Emotionally, he didn't want to believe that his niece's fiancé was a murderer, but rationally, he couldn't let go of what he had seen with his own eyes.

Most importantly, there were too many witnesses at the scene, including foreign friends with great weight. He absolutely couldn't tarnish the image of a Chinese government official at this time.

So, he solemnly said to Tang Feiyan, "Feiyan, don't cause trouble. Look, even Ailing is not as anxious as you... This time, we're just asking Eric to come back and assist in the investigation, not directly convicting him. Why are you panicking? You have to believe that we will never wrong a good person..."

"But..." Tang Feiyan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Eric.

"It's okay, Feiyan, it's just to assist in the investigation, don't worry..."

After saying that, Eric gave Tan Ailing a reassuring look.

Tan Ailing nodded silently and pulled Tang Feiyan aside.

Seeing Tan Ailing's understanding, Tang's father couldn't help but reassure her, "Ailing, rest assured, I promise your fiancé will not be treated unfairly!"

Tan Ailing still nodded silently, and together with Tang Feiyan, watched as Eric, who was calm, followed the plainclothes agents away.
