The Legacy System

Chapter 60 - 60: Surprises & Offer



Looking at the duo in front of him with a clearly angry look, he said towards the receptionist first,

Eric:" Since when has my place started to behave like that to our customers? Do you have anything you can say for yourself?" ​​

The receptionist knew that he had only lifted a rock to hurt his own foot this time. Everyone around the place knew what importance the owner gave to his thoughts and actions.

He was in deep trouble right now, and the only thing he could do was beg for forgiveness. So immediately kneeling on the ground he started begging,

Receptionist:" Please forgive me, Master, it was a mistake on my part. It will never happen again, please!"

Eric was constantly looking at his heartbeat and could tell this guy wasn't pretending, so he decided to let him off the hook this one time.

With a clear and decisive voice, he said,

Eric:" This should be the first and the last time I see this happen, if I see or hear of this happening again, then you better start looking for another job."

At this moment though the whole crowd was stunned at what was happening in front of them. The situation changed so fast.

Even the haughty and arrogant girl next to the receptionist was clearly shocked by what was going on. She had never seen this guy, who was he?

Looking at her though, Eric didn't seem to lose the anger, as he said with a clear voice,

Eric:" As for you, this better be the last time you try to use your status in front of my restaurant, otherwise I will make sure you never get to enter inside in this lifetime."

Saying that he pulled the still stunned Akira towards the entrance, as he entered without turning his head to see the shock he had left behind.

Entering inside the restaurant, Eric and Akira made their way towards his private box, which was always free for him and Kirigaya to use.

He was sure that Kirigaya must have gotten wind of the incident by now, but surprises didn't seem to end today, since Kirigaya seemed to be with another girl in this private booth.

He was kind of embarrassed that he entered without asking the staff earlier, but what was done was done, so looking at Kirigaya with a fake calm look, he coughed and said,

Eric:" Ahem~! Am I interrupting something partner? Sorry to enter without knocking, I thought there was no one in here!"

Seeing him enter, Kirigaya was a bit startled, because he didn't expect him to come over today, but soon he recollected himself and said,

Kirigaya:" Oh no, don't worry partner. Let me introduce you, this is my little daughter Kirigaya Saeko. Saeko, this is my new partner in business, Eric Jade."

He was at a loss for words on how to call him at first, but then processing his words, he knew his Master had given him the proper way of address.

In the meantime, Eric was having a look at his disciple's daughter, she was a true beauty. With black raven hair, more than average curves, and olive-brown eyes.

But there was a faint aura of coldness and darkness around her and a lot of death Qi. She was most probably a trained killer.

At the same time, the girl seemed to be evaluating him with a disdainful attitude. Like he wasn't even worthy of breathing the same air as her.

Her aura was truly frightening for a normal person, and for a moment her eyes fell upon him, she looked at him as if he was a corpse, it was an illusion inducing soul attack.

Her attack didn't reach him though, since immediately Kirigaya protected him as if expecting that. Seeing this happen, the girl got up, and said with disdain,

Kirigaya Saeko:" They were right about you, you are just scared trash, living in the middle of the garbage bin."

Eric was enraged by her words, but he didn't know the situation and didn't want to complicate things for Kirigaya, that was why he didn't act.

He just saw her leave, while Kirigaya had his head down. As soon as she left, he turned to Akira, and said,

Eric:" Fill us two drinks, we have a lot to talk about, but first he needs a drink."

Hearing those words, Kirigaya released a deep sigh, and then looked towards Akira with curiosity and guard, while saying,

Kirigaya:" Partner, she!?"

Understanding his look, Eric said with a calm and carefree voice,

Eric:" Don't worry she can be considered a senior sister. You don't have to be on guard around her."

Hearing that Kirigaya immediately turned towards Eric and bowing down said,

Kirigaya:" Master forgive disciple for his rudeness!"

Akira was stunned seeing this, from the moment they had come to this place tonight, she was getting more and more shocked, and curious about Eric's identity.

The only reason why she wasn't asking anything was that earlier Eric told to her that he would answer her questions only if she truly followed her oath.

Still, though she continued with the order, and filled two drinks for them quickly. While Eric just looked at Kirigaya and said,

Eric:" Want to tell me what is going on?"

Kirigaya seemed deep in his thoughts for a moment, should he open his heart to his master. In these past days, he had started to understand his master better.

He seemed to be keeping a small distance between them, but that was only because he seemed to have gone through some trauma.

He didn't know why, but he felt like he could trust his master, and then started telling Eric everything that had happened recently.

His little brother had taken the position as the family head, and his first order had been to marry his two girls, Kirigaya Saeko, and Kirigaya Akane, and also his wife, Kirigaya Himari.

While it wasn't strange to marry inside the family, his little brother seemed to be too stuck on the rumors that he wasn't fit to be the Kirigaya's family head, instead of his brother.

That was why he wasn't doing this for the clan, but to torture him and his family. There were even words, that he was planning to betray the Ancestor's teachings.

But with his current position, no one could go against him or it would be as going against the clan. Those old fogies didn't care what happened, as long as the clan was still standing.

The only one who could confront his little brother was him, only he had the right to the family heads position, so he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Hearing this Eric could understand the general situation he was in, but this also brought him a good idea. He really needed an information network, and someone working in the dark for him.

While his plan with Ginka was just a start-up for a big information network, he still needed more. So using the Kirigaya Clan was a great opportunity for him.

But if he did such a thing he had to fully trust Kirigaya wouldn't betray him. While he was his disciple, Eric had suffered too much betrayal in his life.

So looking at Kirigaya with a solemn look, he said,

Eric:" When is the wedding?"

Kirigaya lowered his head and said,

Kirigaya:" After two months, in the Clan's headquarters."

Eric:" Do they know about the fact that you are poisoned, and can't strain your body?"

The truth was that it had been a while since Eric had learned that Kirigaya's body had been poisoned, and he couldn't strain his body, otherwise death was certain.

With what he learned now, most probably it was his little brother who had poisoned him, all those reasons he told that day were probably made up.

That was also one of the reasons he didn't trust Kirigaya, and that he didn't want to risk sending him there earlier.

But now with the help of the sub-systems as long as Kirigaya submitted to him totally, he would not only gain a great general but also his army.

On the other hand, Kirigaya was shocked that someone was able to find his secret, and said startled,

Kirigaya:" Master, you can see that I am poisoned?"

Looking at him with a matter of course face, Eric said calmly,

Eric:" Of course, it's not just my cooking skills that are great, there is still a lot you don't know about me, or how lucky you are to become my disciple."

Processing these words, Kirigaya immediately kowtowed to Eric, while saying,

Kirigaya:" Master, forgive this disciple for not disclosing this matter to you. It's just that this disciple had long given up on finding a cure.

But now it seems I need to give up from my life, in order to save my family."

Looking at Kirigaya on the ground with a cold voice, Eric said in a death chilly voice,

Eric:" Oh you want to die!? Did I give you permission to do that, useless disciple of mine?"

Kirigaya was stunned at Eric's words, but this was the reality for him, he couldn't let his family suffer any more than this.

So he tried to reason,

Kirigaya:" Master, this disciple…"

But he wasn't able to continue, because he was interrupted by Eric's dominating voice,

Eric:" Stop with your crap, and listen to me. I have a way to heal you, and also give you a way to become strong in a rather easy way.

But of course, everything in this life has a price, you will have to sell your soul, body, and heart to me. You will keep your conscience, but my orders will be absolute!

Just like Akira over there!"

Kirigaya was dumbfounded…
