Chapter 1161: Life Water
When Erica noticed how he didn’t even bother to cover himself after she had made her presence clear, she seriously wanted to laugh aloud.
As expected of the man in front of her!
Completely unconventional and beyond shameless!
That was the most definite trait that could define him flawlessly.
"Are you sure you want to continue the conversation with your current appearance?" Erica asked, her eyes looking him up and down.
"For a man who requires glasses and looks like a nerd. Your weapon down there sure isn’t to be taken lightly with."
Xu Feng rolled his eyes in disbelief.
Had it been some other men, they would have definitely fallen for her tricks and thought they got a chance for a lovely night.
"I’m going to have to charge you money for staring at me like that." He calmly said and began walking to his room.
"Charge me money? You just drank 4 of my precious Life Water in one go. If anything, I should be the one charging you." Erica mused.
THUD!
Almost immediately, Xu Feng realized the lingering taste of the Life Water’s quality was far different from the one he bought.
The ones he usually bought were high quality, but the ones that he just drank were of superior quality.
Although there was only one difference in grading, the difference in prices was astronomical.
He feigned deafness and continued to walk to his bedroom.
"Heh, what a stingy person." Erica clicked her tongue and shook her head. It was as if she had anticipated his cheap self to not pay up for the Life Water she brought back this time.
Sometime later, Xu Feng returned to the living room all dressed up.
"You finished with your business?" He asked.
"Mhmm." Erica nodded and scooped up some ice cream to eat. "I should give thanks to the Vanguard Guild this time."
"Huh?"
"Have you heard of the Miracle Pavilion incident in the Divine World?"
"Obviously." Xu Feng smirked and chatted about their predicament. He omitted the fact that he was involved with the matter, though.
’So he’s still planning on keeping it a secret.’ Erica thought.
Amused, she decided to reveal something. "Those Life Waters you consumed can be considered my thanks to you."
"???"
Seeing his confused expression, she continued, "I know you’re not just some nobody in the Divine World, but a member of the Vanguard Guild."
Upon hearing her confidence and seeing her crystal clear eyes, Xu Feng knew she wasn’t bluffing.
"I don’t recall slipping up." He scratched his head. Although he didn’t intentionally conceal the secret, he also didn’t reveal much of his affiliation with it.
Erica smiled and enjoyed his baffled expression. She had learned about his rented shop within the Apex Tower. And the people who frequented there were players of the Vanguard Guild.
As for how she knew...
Those people didn’t bother to conceal themselves and revealed quite a lot of information.
All she needed to do was approach them and ask where they belonged.
Naturally, this was the benefit of being a beauty. If it were some ugly men who were to raise such a question, they might be ignored or beaten up under the assumption that they were harboring nefarious intentions.
"Those men were so eager to spill everything just to continue the conversation with me." Erica mused.
"Do tell me their names." Xu Feng asked.
"Sure," she readily answered and listed out three names. She also knew that these three were bound to get punished severely.
After all, they were blinded by lust and exposed valuable information to a stranger.
It was lucky that the stranger was Erica, but what if it were an enemy or a spy?
The consequences would have been catastrophic!
Once Xu Feng got the name list, he promptly sent a message to Ning Yi to deal with the situation.
Ever since the latter managed to get close to Catherine, his attention was focused less on the Divine World and more on the shop.
As for the reason... the Apex Tower decided to implement a new strategy and expand in its mall.
To simplify, Catherine’s workplace opened up a branch at Apex Tower, and it was precisely next to the workshop Xu Feng opened.
Xu Feng still remembered the righteous statement from Ning Yi.
[Brother Feng, the workshop is an important training spot to produce elites. My skills are mediocre, but I know business well. Just let this little brother take care of the workshop. All expenses and any materials will be covered by me!]
Nearly everything in his statement was fake. But Xu Feng was sold on the part that all expenses would be covered by Ning Yi.
He wasn’t trying to be cheap, but if there was someone offering money to cover the cost without expecting anything in return, then why wouldn’t he accept?
Shortly after he was done with the message, Erica asked, "Do you think I can have an opportunity to meet with your Guild Captain?"
"Guild Captain?"
"Mhmm, Vortex Viper is the famous Guild Captain of Vanguard Guild. She handles almost every daily operation of the guild, so if anyone wishes to collaborate with them, they need to go through her."
The statement from her was completely accurate. Xu Feng had delegated the majority of the tasks to Veronica and gave her lots of authority. Unless it was anything major like a war, he rarely showed himself to the guild.
It wasn’t that he wanted to be a hands-off Guild Leader either. But his presence seemed to intimidate and scare off quite a lot of people.
Even if he was smiling or speaking amicably, people kept thinking he was cooking up some malicious schemes or plans to one-up them.
"So, can you set it up or not?" Erica pressed on.
"I’ll need to know the reason behind it first. Otherwise, I would be denied." Xu Feng explained.
Although he could easily agree to the meeting, he didn’t want to set a precedent. Zhao Xin had already leveraged to attain some benefit in the guild because of Zhao Kai. He didn’t want to be the same as well.
"What do you think about the Life Water you just drank?" She suddenly asked.
"It’s good." He replied, unsure why she was shifting the topic.
"I can get you more of them, including members of your guild." Erica smirked and revealed, "My father is the President of Life Water, aka the producer of this quality item."
