My Yandere Wives are Transcendents

Floor 100th of Royal Restaurant...

'Wow!' Eli thought as he glanced around, taking in the opulence of his surroundings. It was a stark contrast to the other floors he had seen so far.

The room exuded extravagance, adorned with numerous medicinal herbs and high-class materials, and most notably... offered a breathtaking view of the entire Nex Academia's layout.

"Hello, Sir," a woman with fox ears greeted Eli as he stood inside the room, her demeanour exuding a sense of professionalism and warmth.

"The manager?" Eli inquired, casting a curious glance at Evelina who silently followed him, despite his assurance that he would manage.

"Yes, Sir... I am the Manager of this Restaurant," the woman confirmed with a warm smile, her eyes conveying a sense of respect.

"Alright, what can I do for you, Ms. Manager?" Eli asked, his brow furrowing slightly.

Sensing a hint of dissatisfaction from Eli, the woman bowed deeply and offered her apologies, "I apologize if I have caused any discomfort, Sir. It is our utmost priority to ensure our guests' satisfaction... Did we do something wrong?."

"Yes, your maid arrived just when I was 'Deeply' attending to my own maid," Eli remarked playfully, winking at Evelina, who couldn't help but snort and turned her head... though a small smile tugged at her lips.

'W-Wait!! Why am I smiling?!!' Evelina wondered inwardly, surprised by her own reaction to Eli's playful banter.

The manager once again apologized profusely, "I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience, Sir! Please allow me to make it up to you."

"..." Eli was slightly taken aback by the earnestness of the apology... He just teasing around but it seemed the manager was really serious.. He meant She was a really serious type!! Clearing his throat, he decided to steer the conversation back on track, "No problem.... So, what is it that the Manager requires of me?"

"Could you please show me your VVIP Card, Sir?" the manager requested politely, her gaze attentive yet respectful.

"Hmm..." Eli nodded and retrieved a black card and handed it over to the Manager. The Manager scrutinized the card for a few seconds before swiping it on the wall-mounted card reader-like machine.

'Thud'

The wall suddenly trembled before opening like a door, revealing a hidden chamber beyond.

Eli's eyes widened in surprise as the Manager gestured for him to enter, "Please come inside, Sir."

Eli took a step forward, but Evelina, who was right behind him, was stopped by the Manager. "I'm sorry, Madam, but without a VVIP Card, we cannot permit entry."

Eli paused, ready to intervene, when Evelina swiftly produced her own black card. "Here," she stated curtly, handing it over.

The Manager took Evelina's card and scanned it, granting her access with a nod of respect. "You may enter, Madam," she acknowledged.

"Hmph," Evelina snorted dismissively and followed Eli into the chamber.

As they entered, a seductive voice filled Eli's ears.

"~ara~ara~ I didn't expect you to come here, Ms. Evelina?"

Eli's eyes darted towards the source of the voice, landing on an orange-white-haired fox woman clad in a matching kimono of the same colours, lounging on a luxurious mattress.... Sexyly!!

"I've seen you before," Eli muttered as he recalled her from a past encounter where she fought against Theo, possessed by a god.

"Oh my~ I am very honoured to hear that, Asher Eli~" the Fox woman replied with a gentle smile, acknowledging Eli's recognition. She then turned her attention to Evelina with a welcoming smile, "What a pleasant surprise to have Ms. Evelina visit my humble abode"

"Tsk, If this is humble, then my place would be nothing but shit," Evelina retorted with disdain evident in her voice.

"Hehe~" The Fox woman chuckled lightly before gesturing towards the mattress. "Please, have a seat here," she invited Eli graciously.

Eli complied and sat down while Evelina chose to remain standing, uninterested in joining them.

"My name is Lyra Fox... Mother of Amber Fox," the Fox woman introduced herself with a warm smile, her demeanour exuding a blend of elegance and charm as she leaned closer to Eli.

Eli was surprised by Lyra's lack of personal space boundaries but remained composed as he introduced himself, "My name is Asher Eli, Mrs. Lyra," he replied politely, reciprocating her smile.

"~Ara~Ara~ Why such formalities between us?" Lyra whispered seductively, her fingers gently brushing against Eli's chest, sending a subtle shiver down his spine.

"I see... Well then, I am Asher Eli, Lyra," Eli responded smoothly, without hesitation, causing Lyra to flinch for a moment before she resumed her seductive smile, "You don't even hesitate, young man," she remarked, her tone teasing and filled with intrigue.

"Well, when a woman like you makes a move on me, I don't see any reason to resist.... even if it's just fake," Eli replied with a charming smile, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

Lyra paused her movements, studying Eli's eyes before retracting her hand and settling back into a more composed posture, though a playful glint remained in her eyes.

"So, why did you want to meet me?" Eli inquired as he adjusted his shirt, maintaining a casual yet attentive demeanour.

"Ahem, I'm interested in purchasing your products," Lyra stated with a serious expression, her tone indicating business but still carrying a hint of playfulness.

"What products?" Eli's curiosity was piqued as he leaned in slightly, intrigued by Lyra's interest.

"Oh~ come on, Eli, you can't hide anything from me," Lyra teased, her eyes sparkling mischievously.

"Hmm?" Eli feigned ignorance and had a face as if 'What are you talking about?'

"Sigh, the seeds and plants you're currently cultivating inside the Flora Continent," Lyra revealed with an amused smile, her tone implying she knew more than she let on.

Eli's surprise was evident on his face, impressed by Lyra's words.

"~ara~ara~ Don't be so surprised... With my long ears, I can hear whispers behind walls, you know!" Lyra said with a smirk, her hand lightly touching her long, fluffy fox ears, adding a playful touch to her statement.

Eli studied Lyra, noting her cunning smile. 'Looks like the bait has been taken... Although, I never expected Amber's mother to be the first to show her neck for me to cut,' Eli thought to himself, mentally preparing for the negotiation.

However,

"~ara~ No, No, No, young man," Lyra shook her finger playfully and gently touched Eli's cheek, her tone playful yet firm, "I'm not falling for your clever plan."

"...." Eli blinked in confusion for a moment before adopting an innocent expression. "What do you mean?"

"Young man, my name is Lyra Fox, but I'm also known as—"

"Cunning Fox!" Evelina interjected with a smirk, unable to resist the opportunity for a jab.

"Ms. Evelina, that's rather rude," Lyra chided with a smile, before continuing, "I'm not just called cunning; some refer to me by the name..... Phantom Fox."

"Now you understand who I am, right?" Lyra asked with a smug expression, expecting a compliment from Eli. However...

"Phantom Fox? Who?" Eli thought inwardly, puzzled by the unfamiliar moniker, 'What the heck is that name?'

"You don't know?" Lyra appeared visibly surprised, glancing at Evelina, who was struggling to suppress her laughter.

"pfff----.... Ha..." Evelina took a deep breath, composing herself before explaining, "She's essentially an information broker."

"Those are rather blunt words, Ms. Evelina," Lyra responded, her irritation evident in her tone.

"An information broker... ah, I see. So, you know everything," Eli muttered, piecing together Lyra's role.

Lyra smiled, confirming Eli's deduction. "Yes, although not everything, like your methods in those cultivation fields. I possess information about nearly everything, you could say about 90% of everything, and more importantly... they call me Phantom Fox," she added with a hint of pride.

Though Eli couldn't understand how Phantom and information were related...

"I see..." Eli nodded, realizing that Lyra had likely caught wind of his endeavours. "So, you're interested in my seeds..."

Suddenly, a faint blush coloured Lyra's cheeks as she adopted a seductive tone, "~Ara~Ara~ Young man, you sure have dirty thoughts."

Ignoring her playful banter, Eli pressed on, "I suppose you already know the quality of my yields?"

"Yes, never in my life did I imagine food ingredients could so significantly alter the taste of dishes," Lyra admitted, handing over some documents detailing the products she desired.

"I see..." Eli nodded thoughtfully. "Give me some time to think about it." Enjoy new stories from empire

"Not now?" Lyra's tone turned slightly disappointed as she leaned closer to Eli, her eyes pleading.

"Well... I'm currently occupied with something rather important, so I'll need some time to focus on this," Eli explained gently, "I never anticipated someone as prominent as yourself would seek me out."

"Is that a no...?" Lyra asked with a hint of pity and desperation in her eyes.

Anyone who sees her now would undoubtedly melt their hearts, however,

Eli remained firm. "If you continue like this, I might have to decline your offer, especially considering my wife Adriana wouldn't be pleased."

Lyra flinched at the mention of the Vampire Queen's name, realizing the weight of Eli's words. Reluctantly, she bid farewell as Eli left, his gaze briefly flickering towards a seemingly ordinary wall before he departed.

"!!!" Evelina's expression softened with surprise. 'Perhaps he's not as bad as I thought,' she mused with a smirk, as she also casts a knowing glance at the empty wall, "Looks like you'll need more training..." she remarked before following Eli out of the room.
