Chapter 626: Chapter 625 Charming Eye
"The scenery here is really nice," Yang Fei praised.
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of a luxurious suite at the top of the hotel, he looked down upon the city’s just-activated nightscape.
This was the city center where the hotel building, owned by foreigners, was one of the tallest buildings in the area. From the top floor, one could overlook the scenery all around the city. It was indeed beautiful and could imbue a person with a king-like confidence.
"Mr. Tang, if you like this place, I can give this floor to you," Monica said, smiling.
Yang Fei smiled slightly and shook his head, "Although the scenery is beautiful, it’s amidst the noisy city. I now prefer a quieter life."
Monica nodded, "Yes, living in the fast-paced city life for too long seems less interesting. A quieter place indeed feels more inviting."
Yang Fei smiled and returned to sit down in the dining room.
A table was set with a lavish dinner; Yang Fei’s gaze swept over it, and he couldn’t help but smile, "You really came prepared, even knowing what I like to eat."
"This dinner was prepared according to your recent habits after you returned to Divine Continent. I hope you like it," Monica said.
Yang Fei waved his hand, "I do like it a lot, but I just had dinner with my wife at home. Let’s talk business instead."
Monica looked at Yang Fei and said, "I haven’t eaten yet."
Yang Fei was taken aback, then pointed at the lavish dishes on the table and said, "Then eat, don’t starve yourself. We can talk after you’ve eaten; I can wait."
Monica smiled slightly and shook her head, "Although I’m not from Divine Continent, I do know that to do so would be very impolite to Divine Continent people."
Yang Fei sincerely said, "I really wouldn’t mind; after all, you’ve already waited for five days. It’s okay for me to wait a little longer."
Monica took the opportunity to steer into the main topic, saying, "I’ve been waiting because a young renegade arose in our family. He’s young and foolish and did something that offended you. So, I specially came to offer my apologies. Don’t mention waiting for five days; even fifty days would be justified."
Yang Fei chuckled, looking into Monica’s eyes.
Monica had blue eyes, vibrant and enchanting. On closer inspection, they seemed to be able to speak, comforting the soul, giving Yang Fei a sense of complete relaxation, an utmost comfortable feeling.
It was as though this was a world belonging solely to the soul, where one’s spirit could experience unprecedented freedom, solace, and pleasure, making it difficult to extricate themselves, hard to control themselves.
But at the same time, those profound depths of her gaze resembled an abyss, tempting one to plunge right in.
Yang Fei felt a chill in his heart, his body hair standing on end as he quickly withdrew his gaze.
He shifted his attention to the dishes on the table and noticed that the previously steaming dishes seemed to have cooled.
Was that single glance really so long ago?
A sharp look flashed in his eyes as he looked at Monica again.
Seeing how quickly Yang Fei had escaped from her ’Charming Eye,’ Monica wore a look of shock.
In the spacious room, a fierce and terrifying murderous intent hung over Monica’s head like numerous sharp swords, as Yang Fei stared at this Western beauty with a cold voice, "You repeatedly speak of coming to apologize, yet you try to deal with me using despicable means. The credibility of you Westerners is truly laughable."
Sensing the terrifying murderous intent, Monica felt goosebumps all over her body, and a fear she had never felt before deep inside her. She hurriedly shook her head, explaining, "I didn’t mean to target you; it’s just that when you look into my eyes, it triggers my ’Charming Eye.’"
Yang Fei’s gaze firmly locked onto Monica, he could clearly sense that there was no hint of power fluctuation in this woman.
Ever since he first saw this woman, Yang Fei had been observing her, unable to detect any dangerous aura from her, which is why he had been relatively relaxed.
At that instant, he had unexpectedly fallen into some sort of soul trap, but fortunately, he woke up quickly enough.
"Charming Eye?" Yang Fei looked at Monica, asking in confusion.
Monica nodded and said, "Yes, I possess the Charming Eye. Apart from that, I don’t have any other special abilities that could harm you. You can be at ease, as my visit this time is sincerely meant to apologize on behalf of the younger members of my family who have erred, and I bear no ill intentions."
Yang Fei recalled their interaction, and realized that since meeting, she had indeed been very friendly. Given her prestigious status as an important member of the Cavendish family, she had always conducted herself with great humility towards him.
He suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.
Monica let out a sigh of relief and felt a shock deep inside her heart.
She had encountered many different beings, even seeing a few among the super-strong on the Divine List.
Yet, the person in front of her, this young man from the Eastern region, was the first to passively trigger her Charming Eye.
Moreover, this fellow was able to free himself from the charm of her Charming Eye so quickly.
Could this guy freely enter and exit the effect of her Charming Eye?
"What is the Charming Eye?" Yang Fei asked.
Monica said, "It’s a special ability that can trap someone in a sort of soul illusion."
Yang Fei thought carefully about what had just happened and silently nodded.
"Is there any harm in falling into your Charming Eye?" Yang Fei asked.
Monica said, "Those who fall into my Charming Eye come under my control."
Yang Fei grew tense and looked at her.
Monica thought for a moment and said, "You are somewhat special. Actually, when my Charming Eye is not activated, there are no issues and it brings no trouble to anyone. But earlier, when you were carefully looking into my eyes, it activated my Charming Eye."
"Are you saying that I activated your Charming Eye?" Yang Fei asked.
"Yes, the Charming Eye was passively activated just now," Monica explained.
Yang Fei looked at her skeptically, finding it somewhat absurd.
You possess the Charming Eye but it was passively activated after I merely glanced at it?
Are you too weak, or am I freaking too awesome?
"Indeed, it was due to you that my Charming Eye was passively activated, please believe me. If I really had ill intentions, I would not have come to meet you in person," Monica continued to explain.
This was Yang Fei’s first encounter with Monica, yet for some reason, he felt an inexplicable sense of trust in what she said.
"Alright, you don’t need to explain further. Just tell me the purpose of your visit," Yang Fei said, waving his hand to indicate that he no longer minded the earlier incident.
Monica nodded and continued, "Aside from apologizing on behalf of the younger member of our family, my main purpose for coming here is to establish a close collaboration with the Divine Continent Official. The Cavendish family has survived a thousand years by having numerous friends; naturally, becoming a friend of the Cavendish family also brings significant benefits. We never betray our friends."
"We do not know each other, surely there’s no basis for cooperation," Yang Fei said with a smile.
Monica shook her head and said, "The new product that you Divine Continent folk have developed will revolutionize humanity’s future. Such a big matter cannot be solely managed by the Divine Continent. It could even bring great disasters to the Divine Continent. If the Cavendish family were your ally, working together to develop this and change humanity’s future, the matter would surely go much smoother."
She spoke eloquently, her words filled with strong confidence.
