Chapter 139 The Unknown Misunderstanding
Although he had no knowledge of any martial arts or superpowers, Roger, relying on necromancy, was still revered as a "ace" in the special agent system, where many experts resided.
Upon learning that the target would appear at Canton Treasure Pavilion in the Jin Mao Tower, Roger immediately took action and killed the headwaiter responsible for the evening banquet at Canton Treasure Pavilion.
In the past, when doing such things, Roger would control the corpses of individuals who could get close to the target and use explosives to assassinate the target. This way, not only would the target die, but the corpse would also be destroyed, leaving no trace.
However, today, the triple security gates of the National Security Bureau had caused him a little trouble.
Yes. Not being able to use explosives was just a small inconvenience!
For a disciple of the Karins family who inherited the notes of a genius necromancer, the attack methods he mastered were by no means so simple!
"Wow... Ailing, I sensed it. The guy in the red suit dancing over there is a martial arts expert. His internal strength is not weak..." Under Tan Ailing's guidance, Tang Feiyan quickly mastered the technique of using her spiritual sense and began to explore everywhere.
Tan Ailing and Eric smiled at each other, not paying attention to her. Because they had both confirmed that there were no pre-heaven level individuals present at this event. Apart from others who were also pre-heaven experts, no one else would be able to sense Tang Feiyan's spiritual sense!
"...Huh, I didn't expect Uncle Han to also have martial arts skills..."
Ignoring Tang Feiyan's occasional exclamation, Eric and Tan Ailing chatted quietly.
"...Why is it so strange..." Tang Feiyan suddenly pulled Tan Ailing and said, "Ailing, come and take a look..."
"What am I looking at?" Find your next read on empire
"It's the headwaiter who just came in over there..." Tang Feiyan said with a puzzled expression, "I feel like something's not right about him!"
"Why are you so startled again?" Tan Ailing laughed, releasing her spiritual sense.
"Huh..." Sensing the target, Tan Ailing couldn't help but exclaim.
"What's wrong?" Tan Ailing's expression made Eric curious too.
"Eric, it's strange. I can't sense any signs of life from that person at all..." Tan Ailing said in confusion.
Tang Feiyan said with relief, "So you also have this feeling, I thought my spiritual sense was off!"
Eric raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression changing slightly.
"Do you have any discoveries?" Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan asked in unison.
Eric looked at the expressionless headwaiter at the drinks area and said lightly, "He's not a living person..."
"Ah..." Tang Feiyan covered her mouth, her eyes full of fear as she asked, "Is he... a zombie?"
"No..." Eric frowned slightly, "He should be controlled by someone?"
"Hypnosis?" Tang Feiyan denied herself as soon as she said it, "Can someone hypnotize a dead person?"
"It's not hypnosis, it's control!" Eric thought for a moment and said, "Like a puppet in a shadow play or puppet show..."
Tan Ailing nodded in understanding, asking, "Is this also magic?"
"Yes, this is a technique of necromancy!"
"Wow, magic is really amazing, it can do almost anything!" Tang Feiyan said with a sense of awe.
Eric was also surprised and excited. This was the first time he had proven the existence of another magician.
In the "Dark Chronicles," there was also the existence of necromancy, which Eric had skimmed through in the past. It was just that he didn't like dealing with corpses and skeletons, so he didn't study it carefully.
However, Eric was not averse to necromancy. So, he really wanted to meet the necromancer who cast the spell.
"Eric, since someone is using necromancy to control corpses, he must have some purpose. Look..."
After Tan Ailing's reminder, Tang Feiyan also realized, grabbing Eric's arm nervously, and said, "Yes, Eric, that person must be up to something. You must help my father..."
"Don't worry." Eric patted Tang Feiyan's hand and smiled faintly, "I promise to deal with him before he takes any action."
After receiving Eric's assurance, Tang Feiyan, who trusted him deeply, immediately relaxed, eating and stealing glances at the deceased headwaiter.
At this moment, a weak greeting suddenly came from beside them, "Miss Tang, hello..."
The three turned to see Ye Simin.
Ye Simin was extremely happy when he saw Tan Ailing from a distance, but as he approached, he realized that the formidable and mysterious handsome young man was also present.
Ye Simin, who already had some concerns, felt a strange panic when he saw Eric.
"How did you end up here?" Eric frowned.
"I... I came with my father to attend the banquet..." Ye Simin was a little hesitant to speak directly to Eric. He turned to Tang Feiyan and said, "Miss Tang, Uncle Tang asked me to come and find you... for your..."
This annoying guy actually knew Tang's father, and Tang's father even asked him to come over?
The three of them looked at Tang's father in disbelief and got a slight nod and a strange smile in response.
Seeing her father and several uncles staring at them expectantly, Tang Feiyan looked a bit embarrassed as she glanced at Eric and Tan Ailing.
In this situation, she couldn't do anything to embarrass her father, the host.
Tan Ailing secretly pinched Eric's hand and said to Ye Simin, "Since Uncle Tang asked you to come, then please sit down!"
Upon hearing his goddess speak like this, Ye Simin's face almost broke into a smile. He sat down next to Tang Feiyan, almost touching her. Perhaps because he was shy, after sitting down, he dared not look at Tang Feiyan and just smiled foolishly at Tang Feiyan.
His demeanor and actions were seen by the bigwigs in the distance, eliciting a series of laughter and sighs.
"Old Tang, it seems that this Ye gentleman is really interested in Feiyan. Look at how brightly he smiles..." Delbosky remarked.
"This Ye Simin is quite pure. He actually doesn't dare to sit next to the girl he likes..." The Deputy Prime Minister lamented.
"Alas, this little brat, he hasn't learned any tricks from me and his two brothers..." Ye Zhenglin, who felt that the pursuit of his third son, who had just entered the world of love, was quite disdainful.
Tang's father also had a very favorable view of Ye Simin's pursuit of his daughter, not only because of Ye Simin's own conditions but also because of the Ye family's background.
Although the Ye family was only a newly risen wealthy family, having emerged only thirty years ago, their wealth was considerable. They were even listed in the top ten on the publicly available wealth list in mainland China.
Although Tang's father was not the kind of feudal parent who emphasized "matching doors," he was still very happy to see such a powerful potential in-law.
Seeing his daughter and "future son-in-law" looking a bit uncomfortable under the gaze of his group, he couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, let's not look at them anymore! Look how nervous they are..."
Vice Premier smiled knowingly and said, "Tang, your niece, Tan Ailing, and her fiancé are extraordinary..."
The Secretary agreed, "Indeed, to act so naturally under our scrutiny, they are definitely not ordinary! What exactly is his identity..."
"I only found out today that my niece has a fiancé. It seems he's quite remarkable..."
Tang's father, who knew his daughter's friend's temperament well, was not surprised by Tan Ailing's behavior, but he was slightly taken aback by Ailing's fiancé's demeanor. This only piqued his interest in Eric even more, determined to find time to ask Tan's dad about him.
"Alright, alright, why bother about the kids' affairs? Let's go over there for a drink..." As a typical Russian man, Delbosky was very fond of alcohol.
Ye Zhenglin patted Tang's father's shoulder and smiled, "Old Tang, we must have a drink later."
"What's this, are your children talking about love and you want to join in the fun to exchange feelings?" The Vice Premier dropped his demeanor and teased his friend.
"Get out of here!" Ye Zhenglin playfully hit the Vice Premier and sighed on purpose, "Alas, I don't know if my third son has such good fortune..."
"Let the two kids handle their own affairs..." After Tang's father said this calmly, he saw Ye Zhenglin's face full of disappointment, and immediately laughed again, "But I'm happy to see them together..."
"You old rascal, teasing me like that."
While Tang Feiyan and Ye Simin were unaware, a misunderstanding arose among their elders.
After the attention of these bigwigs shifted, Tang Feiyan and Ye Simin both unconsciously sighed deeply, obviously feeling quite suppressed just now.
Eric and Tan Ailing, seeing their behavior, couldn't help but smile at each other.
Tang Feiyan, puzzled, said, "It's strange, why were those old men looking at us like that?" After a moment of thought, she stared directly at Ye Simin and said, "Ye boy, did you say something to my dad and the others?"
Ye Simin, blushing, lowered his head and said, "They... they seem to have noticed that I... that I like Miss Tan..."
After a moment of silence between Eric and Tan Ailing, Tang Feiyan spoke on their behalf, "Ye boy, I advise you not to waste your feelings. Ailing is Eric's sweetheart, you don't stand a chance..."
Ye Simin suddenly looked up and said, "Miss Tang, do you also like Mr. Eric?"
