Urban Seduction: Housewives Club Chapter 2095 - 424: Successful Counter-Strategy 2

"Since they were meant to be together from the start, merging them creates a full lineup of superior Earth-class martial arts moves," Mr. Han explained. "Usually, we offer both of these martial arts sets bundled at the cost of top-tier Earth-class quality."

Wang Yue quickly grasped that Mr. Han was cleverly exploiting a gap to benefit his own side.

In the end, top-tier Earth-class martial arts techniques hold a worth that's no less than fivefold compared to upper-tier Earth-class ones. Put another way, Mr. Han was letting him have one complete top-tier Earth-class martial arts set for the expense of just two upper-tier Earth-class sets.

Looking at it that way, the man seemed fairly straightforward.

Yet he also showed the sly traits of a trader: a clear combined top-tier Earth-class martial arts set existed, yet he'd denied it before.

It was plain he aimed to dupe Wang Yue into grabbing the lesser Heaven-class move called Wind God Leg.

Whether in Beijing or Nanjing, the buyer always comes out ahead. The old sayings really hit the mark!

After thinking it over, Wang Yue chose to trade for the "Nine Suffering Blades." Next, he swapped a somewhat lesser creation to secure the "Flying Disaster Nine Blades."

Mr. Han revealed the actual title for this paired blade method: "Misfortune Blade Technique."

The title remained off-putting, yet Wang Yue felt content overall. Though labeled as an advanced Earth-tier technique, the Misfortune Blade Technique outpowered standard Earth-tier skills since its forms focused solely on assault, skipping any protection.

When fully learned, it could deliver twelvefold the force of regular strikes.

The deal wrapped up, leaving both sides thrilled.

To Lingyun Pavilion, it felt like offloading an advanced Earth-tier martial art for the value of two advanced Earth-tier ones added to a fine Earth-tier martial art.

But for Wang Yue, he snagged an advanced Earth-tier technique plus a basic Heaven-tier martial art at that rate, turning it into a steal.

"Should you hear anything about the remaining parts of the 'Wind God Leg' method, contact me right away," Wang Yue shared a contact number with Mr. Han, which was really a nameless comms code he'd picked up on the black market.

Thanks to Yan Fangfei's tweaks, it linked straight to his personal device.

Wang Yue didn't rely on just one; he owned ten altogether. The one handed to Zhou Yifei and her family was a separate one.

Varying looks paired with varied comms codes helped him juggle multiple personas and perfect his covers.

Mr. Han had fielded plenty of similar asks. Actually, each buyer who'd picked up the "Wind God Leg" technique had voiced the same wish.

After all, nobody could tell if the practice demands would ease after complete mastery. Should that occur, the outlay would pay off big time.

Thus, Mr. Han raised no doubts and jotted down Wang Yue's number on the spot. For the name, Wang Yue cheekily picked "Nie Feng" — as payback for the "Wind God Leg" ploy, he'd borrow the Nie Feng name.

While riding the elevator down to the main level, the clerk who'd guided Wang Yue shared some details on Mr. Han.

As it happened, being a key figure in Lingyun Pavilion's Tianhai division, Mr. Han commanded respect and boasted a remarkable granddaughter.

The pair of Zhang family youths were in fact chasing after his granddaughter.

Failing to catch her interest, they turned to buttering up Mr. Han instead, haunting the upper level of Lingyun Pavilion nearly daily.

This grated on Mr. Han no end, though he held back from clashing with the Zhang family, leaving him stuck with those two.

No wonder his temper flared when they meddled in his dealings that day.

Only then did Wang Yue see that Mr. Han's discounted top-tier martial arts sale stemmed not from remorse over a sharp deal, but from this situation.

All in all, he came across as someone with standards.

What's more, Wang Yue sensed this elder was like his personal good-luck charm.

Through that intentional deception, the elder had let Wang Yue claim a technique rivaling mid-level Heaven-tier or beyond.

It was a fluke swindle that handed Wang Yue just the edge he needed against the Zhang family.

Should things keep turning out this way, Wang Yue half-wanted to yell at Mr. Han, "Keep the tricks coming harder!"

The moment he stepped out of Lingyun Pavilion, Wang Yue sensed eyes on him.

No surprise there—it had to be those Zhang family lads at work. With his present role, he hadn't crossed paths with others.

This left Wang Yue inwardly shaking his head. Mighty powers too often spawn bold fools who charge ahead blindly, expecting everyone to bow down.

Should he father kids someday, he'd raise them right.

Even if they aimed to play villains, they'd better be clever ones. Scout the foe first before striking, or risk getting wiped out. Backing means nothing without survival.

Wang Yue had vowed to Zhang Hong to spare those Zhang family side branches tied to her.

Storming the Zhang stronghold head-on would prompt the core line to throw those sides as fodder, tying Zhang Hong's hands.

Plus, battling in enemy ground proved tricky. Sneaky snares or heavy guns could lurk, leading to heavy hits.

His initial scheme involved stirring chaos for the Zhangs, flushing them from cover like rustling grass to pick off the mainliners bit by bit.

With chance knocking now, how could he pass? He acted oblivious and made for Lingyun Pavilion's underground garage.

"Halt!" In the end, the Zhang family duo proved bolder than Wang Yue figured. They blocked him before he reached the underground parking lot.
