Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

"By the way, has this floating castle been named yet?" Tang Feiyan suddenly asked.

"Not yet!" Skidmore replied respectfully. "I was hoping the master and mistress would bestow a name!"

Tang Feiyan's eyes lit up, and she immediately became charming, leaning into Eric's arms and tremblingly calling, "Eric..."

Eric naturally understood what she meant, smiled slightly, and casually said, "Alright, you can name this super cruise ship!"

"Eric, you're so kind..." Tang Feiyan coquettishly kissed Eric's face and without hesitation suggested, "How about calling it the 'Ling Yan'?"

"Okay, let's name it the 'Ling Yan'!"

Seeing that the master didn't object to the mistress's proposal, Skidmore immediately understood and said, "I'll inform the manufacturer of this name and have it displayed on the ship!"

While Tang Feiyan was excited, Tan Ailing expressed her opposition, "Eric, you should reconsider."

"What's the matter?" Eric was surprised.

Tang Feiyan expressed her confusion, "Ailing, what's there to consider? 'Ling Yan' sounds good and corresponds to our Ling Yan Group! Since this super cruise ship is touted as the future's most luxurious, it will surely attract global attention, providing an excellent opportunity to advertise our Ling Yan Group. This is completely within our control and doesn't involve our backers. You shouldn't oppose it anymore! Business-wise, visibility is very important..."

"I didn't say that 'Ling Yan' is a bad name!" Tan Ailing interrupted Tang Feiyan's persuasion, gave her a disdainful look, and said, "Have you forgotten about Lin Yujie?"

For Tan Ailing, maintaining harmony in the "harem" was the top priority. Lin Yujie was already a woman with a strong jealousy, and once she found out about this matter, even if she didn't say it out loud, she would feel uncomfortable, and there might even be a rift between the sisters. So, Tan Ailing felt it was necessary to remind Eric.

Tang Feiyan was slightly stunned. Being very familiar with Lin Yujie, she naturally understood Tan Ailing's concern. After some thought, she suggested, "Then how about calling it the 'Ling Yan Rain'?"

Tan Ailing shook her head, "Let's just call it the 'Yujie'!"

Seeing Tan Ailing's inquiring gaze, Eric nodded, "Alright, it's settled!"

Eric agreed with a sense of guilt. Of course, this guilt was not directed at Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan, but at Lin Yujie. Although Lin Yujie had made it clear that she wanted to be with Eric, he rarely thought about her, which was unfair to the feelings she had invested!

Watching Tang Feiyan's expression change from melancholy to joy, Tan Ailing smiled and scolded, "You're still arguing over these things at your age..."

"How can you compare the two!" Tang Feiyan said with a look of disdain, "This super cruise ship alone is worth four Ling Yan Groups!"

"Stop being so petty..."

Tang Feiyan asked with a disgruntled expression, "Are all those workers on the ship your handpicked beautiful virgins from the blood slaves?"

"Of course!" Skidmore said confidently. "Those people are meant to serve the master, so I dare not be negligent! I have hired teachers from the E Country's School of Political Etiquette with a hefty sum to train those beautiful virgins, ensuring they 'mature' during these eight months to better serve the master..."

Tang Feiyan didn't speak, just kept humming while giving Eric sideways glances.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Why are you staring at me?" Eric asked.

"Hmph, with a 70-billion transportation tool and hundreds of beautiful female slaves, Eric, I'm afraid you won't have a peaceful life anymore. You'll definitely be labeled as 'China's Number One Playboy'..." Tang Feiyan teased, clearly jealous.

Although Eric knew Tang Feiyan was jealous, he also knew he couldn't indulge her, or she would become even more jealous! So, he just pinched her pouting face and then turned to ask Tan Ailing, "How is the situation with the Axe Gang now?"

These days, Eric hadn't been inquiring about the Axe Gang's retaliation against the Northern Black Alliance. Instead, Tan Ailing had shown great interest in it, always paying attention. Sometimes, with the protection of several duke-level vampires, she personally assisted the Axe Gang, satisfying her combat desires!

Therefore, whenever this matter was mentioned, Tan Ailing couldn't help but smile. "The situation has stabilized. The Northern Black Alliance has completely withdrawn from Shanghai, and the Axe Gang has not lost an inch of territory!"

"What about the losses?"

"Except for Chang Laosan and Scarface Five, the eight top experts of the Axe Gang were killed by us, and the other six were all killed in the battles with the Northern Black Alliance. Of the five hundred elites, except for the three hundred stationed at headquarters who died at our hands, the remaining two hundred also died or were injured in resisting external enemies! Originally, there were 8,000 regular gang members, but after this battle, less than 6,000 remained!"

Tan Ailing didn't show much sadness as she said these words. First, she knew the cruelty of the underworld competition, and second, as the former head of the "Organized Crime Investigation Department," she had no good feelings for the underworld figures. If the Axe Gang hadn't already been Eric's force, she would never have intervened!

"So many casualties?" Tang Feiyan, who had wanted to sulk for a while, found that her temperament was not suitable for such behavior. She was quickly attracted by Eric and Tan Ailing's conversation. Also, she had been focused on business these days and had not paid attention to this matter at all. Now that she heard about it, she couldn't help but be surprised. "Such a large-scale battle with so many casualties, why didn't I hear any news?"

Tan Ailing explained with a light smile, "Actually, there is an understanding between the underworld and the government. As long as it does not harm or disturb ordinary people, the government generally does not intervene in the internal fights between gangs, nor does it allow such news to appear in the media. At most, they will vaguely mention 'an armed brawl occurred at a certain place on a certain day'..."

Seeing Tang Feiyan nod in understanding, Eric then asked, "With the emergence of Wang Shengqiao, a new pre-heaven expert, and ten vampire dukes, along with your occasional assistance, why did it still result in such great losses?" He asked not out of a feeling of heartache but simply out of curiosity.

"These losses were mainly due to the initial surprise attack!" Tan Ailing explained, "The Axe Gang was already in a panic due to the massacre at headquarters. The Northern Black Alliance then launched a full-scale, premeditated attack, catching them off guard. They were stunned for a while! Although they later organized a sizable resistance, morale was low because they couldn't find their leader, so they were constantly suppressed by the Northern Black Alliance! Later, if it weren't for Wang Shengqiao and the others' timely arrival, the Axe Gang would have been defeated by various attacks long ago and would have ceased to exist!"

Eric nodded and asked, "So how about the losses of the Northern Black Alliance?" Experience tales with empire

"The specific situation cannot be counted!" Tan Ailing smiled, "However, in these days, we have directly dealt with 183 people from the alliance!"

"Really?" Tang Feiyan exclaimed softly, "With nearly 3,000 casualties in the Axe Gang, and with the help of Ailing and the vampires, they only managed to deal with less than 200 of their enemies. That difference is too big, isn't it?"

"The Northern Black Alliance has a large number of people, but it's impossible for all of them to come to Shanghai. Otherwise, they would definitely be wiped out by the military garrison!" Tan Ailing glanced at Tang Feiyan and said, "The attack on the Axe Gang involved only about 300 people, mostly second-rate or above in skill level. Among them, we killed thirty-seven top experts!"

"The Axe Gang has a lot of firearms, right?" Tang Feiyan had another question, "Didn't you say that second-rate skilled people absolutely can't dodge or block bullets fired at close range? As long as they have guns, even without your help, the Axe Gang should be able to take care of most of the enemies. How did they end up with so many casualties?"

"Firstly, it was because they were caught off guard and didn't have time to grab their weapons." Tan Ailing smiled, "Secondly, they were afraid of attracting indiscriminate attacks from the government! You know, our country has very strict gun control. Once the gangs start shooting recklessly, the armed police will definitely be mobilized! Even if your gang has a lot of firearms, can they withstand the army?"

In the midst of their discussion, they arrived at the brightly lit and bustling Ye Mansion!
