The Legacy System

Eric extended his hand, and slowly patted her silky hair, as he said with a low but certain voice,

"Don't worry I am not a sadist, I wouldn't harm someone just for fun. As long as the two of them don't cross my limits I don't plan on getting rid of them!

But I don't think I can say the same about your brothers, and your father. If not already, it's clear that they are going to cross that limit in the future."

Hearing that Takeshiba Aika felt a bit sorry for a fleeting moment, but the next one she was grateful to her Master for his words.

Her whole life, she had felt a connection as a family only to her mother, and big sister, as the rest were nothing more than strangers living under the same roof.

Her father was almost away the whole time, and he would only meet with her when he had to punish her.

Her brothers were nothing more than pimps who were doing all they could for their own benefits, after all, each one of them was trying to get her married to some guy for his support.

Her mother and her big sister seemed to resonate more with her, probably because they knew that they shared the same luck, even though they had grown distant lately.

To her, Eric's words were like a contract, she didn't know why but everything he said seemed real and genuine, something she had lacked for a long time now.

With overflowing gratitude, she looked her Master in the eyes, as she said,

"Thank you, Master! For listening to my selfish plea! I swear to never disappoint you!"

Seeing her look, and hearing her words, Eric just approached her lips for a deep French kiss, as he said,

"Silly girl! I know you won't!"

If a normal Joe would be sitting with them in the car, he would probably be dumbfounded from shock at the moment.

After all, this was crazy! It didn't even happen in serials. A Young Miss from a respected family was serving some other young man!

Not only that, but she was setting up her mother and her sister for him while throwing away the rest of her family. Just what kind of mess had the world become!?

They weren't able to continue kissing and talking for long though, as they had already arrived in the Takeshiba Mansion, and it was time to enter the place.

The driver drove the car up to the stairs of the Mansion and came out of the car to open the door for them, as the couple got outside and made for the entrance.

The moment they got off the car, Eric could feel a few gazes, and intents turn towards the entrance and lock on him, but he didn't care much about it, he just walked forward with steady steps.

There was no way he was going to get intimidated by some kids who thought that they were important only because they were born with a golden spoon up their asses.

The moment he reached the door a servant opened it for him, and Takeshiba Aika, as they walked in through the hallway, to reach the hall where the party would be held.

Another servant opened the door for him, as their entrance immediately earned them the attention of the whole crowd.

Not even a single person in the room wasn't looking at them, and almost all of those looks were full of anger, hate, and malicious intent.

The only people who were an exception to this were the ones who were capable of better hiding their true feelings, like his father in law for example.

The ones being more direct, and not showing any restraint were clearly the Young Masters of the family, as each and every one of them was looking down on him.

It was at this moment, that one of them didn't seem capable of controlling himself, as he threw a glass away at a servant and said,

"Damn you, you turned my wine taste like shit! Disappear from my sight if you don't want to die by my own hands!"

The poor servant could only beg for forgiveness, and pity, as he started running away from the hall in fear.

Seeing the servant run far away like that, the Young Master seemed to feel quite powerful, as he even said in a mocking tone behind his back,

"Useless trash!"

Even though he was talking to the servant, it was clear that he was throwing knives at Eric, and his presence.

Still, Eric didn't seem to care about it, as he just walked forward as if nothing had happened, and soon was in front of Master Takeshiba, his father-in-law.

There was no one in the room who didn't understand the actions of that guy earlier, not to mention Master Takeshiba.

Still, he had decided to let the play happen, and just watched curiously how Eric would respond to that, and he was a bit surprised seeing him act so cool, and calm as if nothing happened.

But he was an old fox, there was no way he was going to allow something like that appear on his face, as he just waited for Eric to arrive, bow and greet him and his wife,

"Good evening Father-in-law, mother-in-law!"

Master Takeshiba didn't lose time and immediately returned the greeting back, as he continued,

"Good evening son-in-law! I am glad that you were able to make it! How was the way!?"

Eric still had that calm, and cool expression on his face, as he said with a light but clear voice,

"The way here was pleasurable, the only downside was that tonight there seemed to be too many wild dogs barking!"

Silence! Deadly silence!

No one in there wasn't a retard, they could all understand what Eric meant with his words. They had thought that he had let it slide, but he just bid the time and place where to make his remark.

His words clearly angered almost everyone in the party, and especially the guy who started all this, he looked like he had just eaten shit.

He was on the brink of explosion, and just a slight push would make him explode in all his glory, and that slight push was exactly his cousin beside him,

"No one will respect you if you let this slide!"

This was all it took, as he couldn't hold back anymore, and exploded in a loud voice,

"What did you say!?"

It was clear that he was extremely angered, as his face was beet red, his eyes bloodshot, and his forehead has some wrinkles and dark lines!

His explosion certainly surprised everyone in the hall, as they all turned their heads and eyes towards him, disappointed at his attitude.

The most surprised out of all of them seemed to be Eric though, his face was clearly showing he was really puzzled and confused about this matter.

But still, he managed to say the same thing once again, this time clearly looking in his eyes. The look didn't match the face, but not many people could notice it, as he said once again.

"Tonight, there seemed to be too many wild dogs barking!"

This time he cut his sentence short and got directly to the main point. It seemed like more than repeating his words, he was saying it to the guy in front of him.

The Young Master in front of him had never expected this, he had thought that Eric would get scared of his intimidation and that he might try to find a way out of it.

After all, this guy was in the Takeshiba Mansion, his family's mansion, there was no way he had the guts to play the uncracked nut in this place, right!?

Apparently, he hadn't thought it through correctly, and hearing that answer made him flare up even more, as there seemed to be smoke coming out of his head now.

His father had never thought that his stupid son would go so far and was busy at the moment, so he couldn't quite approach him, and give him a smack on the head to shut his mouth.

With the situation being as it was, his eyes went dark, as he walked forward threateningly, without caring in the least that he was in front of the family head, and grabbing Eric by the jacket, said in a threatening voice,

"How dare you insult me, you piece of trash!?"

Everyone was stunned, they had never expected such a situation to happen. They couldn't believe their eyes for a moment.

Eric was the family head's son-in-law, whether they liked it or not, he held that position! Grabbing him by the jacket like that, and that in front of Master Takeshiba, the family head was something crazy.

The kid, the Young Master, was not only being rude to Eric, but he was also insulting him, in front of his father-in-law, the family head.

It was nothing short of insulting Master Takeshiba, and his authority in the family. Since when did this kid grow the balls to do something like this!?

Master Takeshiba was clearly surprised by this, but more than that he was angered as his face had gone dark.

Since when could these idiots do something like this in front of him. Had they grown tired of living or something?

With a cold and dark face, he looked towards the kid's father, asking for an explanation, but the father had a dead face himself.

The moment he had seen this happen he had been so dumbfounded, and shocked, that he almost had a heart attack, as he couldn't move or think anymore, he was totally paralyzed.

Contrary to expectations though…
