Urban Seduction: Housewives Club

Chapter 811: The Cunning Xiong Kui

Realizing this, the leaders couldnʼt help but gasp. This young man wasnʼt just as powerful as the rumors suggested—his depth of cunning was truly chilling!

At this moment, Xiong Kuiʼs expression also turned grim. He had heard before that Ye Fei had a few young men under him who were quite skilled, but he hadnʼt had a clear concept of what ”quite skilled” meant.

In Xiong Kuiʼs mind, it probably just meant they were a bit stronger than the average person, nothing compared to the person he had met a few days ago.

But now, Xiong Kui didnʼt think that way anymore. In his eyes, the bald man and his group were as unfathomable as his trump card. He truly couldnʼt compare which side was stronger.

Moreover, above the bald man and his group was the even more inscrutable Ye Fei.

Although there had never been any rumors of Ye Feiʼs martial prowess there were even stories that Ye Fei was as weak as a reed—Xiong Kui didnʼt believe it. How could someone so weak possibly control someone as skilled as the bald man?

But things had reached this point, and Xiong Kui knew he had no way out. He quietly reached into his pocket and pressed the send button on his phone. Now, he could only pin all his hopes on that mysterious expert.

The shifting expressions and subtle movements of Xiong Kui naturally couldnʼt escape Ye Feiʼs keen senses. However, Ye Fei didnʼt stop him because his purpose today was to draw out Xiong Kuiʼs trump card and see who this so-called expert was.

So, after Xiong Kui finished his actions, Ye Fei looked at him and asked indifferently, ”Master Xiong, do you have anything else to say?”

Xiong Kuiʼs heart skipped a beat. He knew he had to stall Ye Fei now. Although he didnʼt know who was stronger between them and his trump card, if Ye Fei wanted to kill him, it would probably happen in an instant.

If his hope was indeed stronger than theirs, but he didnʼt live long enough to see reinforcements arrive, that would be truly tragic.

In a flash of thought, Xiong Kui put on a righteous and heroic expression, glaring at Ye Fei and shouting, ”Ye Fei, todayʼs events were all my doing. It has nothing to do with the other leaders. They just wanted to protect their businesses. So, whatever you have in mind, I, Xiong, will take it on alone!”

Hearing this, most of the leaders, except for a few particularly sharp ones, were moved. They hadnʼt expected Xiong Kui to be such a righteous and loyal person. For a moment, they were all touched by his words, and a sense of solidarity was ignited among them.

Ye Fei, however, remained unmoved. He smiled faintly and said, ”Alright then. Since Master Xiong is so chivalrous, I, Ye Fei, canʼt disregard your goodwill. Todayʼs matter will be left to you to handle on behalf of everyone.”

After saying this, he waved to the bald man, ”Go and bring me Master Xiongʼs head.”

”Wait!” Xiong Kui was startled. He had intended to buy himself some time, but instead, he had accelerated his demise. He hurriedly spoke up to stop them.

Ye Fei called the bald man to a halt, a playful expression on his face. ”What is it? Has Master Xiong changed his mind?”

”Of course not!” Xiong Kui replied, a bead of cold sweat already forming on his forehead. But this man was, after all, a seasoned schemer. In just a moment, he thought of a good excuse.

”I just wanted to have a farewell drink with my brothers. Master Ye, surely you wonʼt begrudge us this little bit of time?”

As soon as Xiong Kui said this, the leaders were even more moved by his magnanimity.

Although in this day and age, so-called righteousness was practically worthless, these leaders had all been through the trials of the underworld. Their sense of chivalry would never change.

Now, stirred by Xiong Kuiʼs words, they were filled with boundless courage, and for a moment, even the terror of Ye Feiʼs young subordinates was forgotten. A few of the more hot-tempered ones even began to glare at Ye Fei.

After hearing Xiong Kuiʼs words, Ye Fei couldnʼt help but feel a sense of admiration. Of course, what he admired wasnʼt the righteousness Xiong Kui was pretending to display, but the manʼs quick wit.

To come up with such a good excuse in such a short time, successfully stalling Ye Fei while also earning the admiration of the leaders—there was no denying that Xiong Kui was a talented individual.

To be honest, Ye Fei had never intended to kill all the leaders who had come to trouble him. These people represented almost the entire underground forces of the south.

If they died, the entire southern region would likely descend into chaos.

Even if it didnʼt lead to national instability, it would certainly affect the lives of ordinary people, which was not what Ye Fei wanted to see. Moreover, although the Lingyun Association was incredibly powerful, its visible manpower wasnʼt extensive.

Cleaning up such a mess would be a huge hassle. So, Ye Fei planned to bring these people under his control. With the existence of that device, he wasnʼt worried about their loyalty.

However, Xiong Kui was not on the list of people Ye Fei intended to bring under his control.

Although, rationally speaking, recruiting such a talent would be a great help to the Lingyun Association, Ye Fei had never wanted to keep him.

And this was where Ye Fei differed from others. He possessed a level of calmness and wit that even the most cunning old foxes couldnʼt match, but he could never learn their unscrupulous methods.

He often acted impulsively—what people called acting on emotion.

For a leader, acting on emotion was usually a bad thing, but Ye Fei was an exception. His intelligence, which surpassed everyone elseʼs, could easily compensate for it.

On the other hand, someone who acted on emotion was undoubtedly very sentimental.

Ye Fei was undoubtedly such a person, which was why so many beautiful women threw themselves at him without hesitation.

A man who was powerful, excellent, and deeply sentimental was undoubtedly the most lethal poison to women.

But enough digression. Back to the main topic. Ye Fei didnʼt care about Xiong Kuiʼs attempts to win over the leaders.

After all, the leaders who stayed would be loyal to him in the future.

What they thought now was irrelevant.

His only goal was to draw out the force behind Xiong Kui, and watching their performance now was quite entertaining.

Seeing that Ye Fei didnʼt object and showed no intention of dealing with him immediately, Xiong Kui was overjoyed.

What he needed most now was time, because the uncontrollable trump card he had summoned would take time to arrive.

And now, he felt he had succeeded.

This hall was where Xiong Kui usually entertained guests. For convenience, there were several bottles of wine stored in a cabinet at the edge of the room, which now served as the perfect prop for his act.

Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to drink with Xiong Kui in such a situation, but perhaps inspired by his performance, the leaders now came forward one by one to share a ”farewell drink” with him. Xiong Kui was naturally thrilled.

He not only drank every toast but also bid each person a sentimental farewell, regardless of how well he knew them. Fortunately, most of the wine he had prepared was red wine, or else he might have drunk himself to death before his backup arrived.
