The Legacy System

She was relaxed a moment later when she heard him say in a pensive voice,

Eric:" Aika-chan I think that you have a mole inside your guards. Otherwise, they wouldn't have kidnapped you easily, and wouldn't know that we have exactly that much money." ​​

It looked like he didn't doubt at her in the least, and his doubt was on her guards or the people around her at the moment.

This let her take a deep breath of relief as their show was still safe. All she had done until now wasn't for nothing.

But then she was startled when she heard his next words,

Eric:" Aika-chan I don't think we can trust these guys, as they don't seem to be simple kidnappers, especially now that we know you have a mole in your side.

So we will have to escape and run away from here. I have a plan to do that, but I need your help Aika-chan. Do you think you can do it?"

Takeshiba Aika was really surprised by what Eric said, as she had never thought he would say such a thing, especially from the place they were, and the treatment they got.

But she thought it would be better to pretend she was interested, participate and obstruct him during their escape than let him work on his own and succeed.

With this thought in mind, she just nodded her head in a frightened way and waited for his next words. Eric seemed to have expected this as he whispered in her ear,

Eric:" Then start screaming, until you get their attention, don't worry I am here to protect you."

Aika seemed confused at that instruction because she never expected something like that, just what plan was this guy thinking?

Since she accepted to help him though, she just nodded her head and started screaming loudly to attract attention,

Takeshiba Aika:" Someone!? I need to talk to someone! Come here!..."

She had to keep screaming for some time, until one of those guards around them couldn't bear it anymore, and coming with an angry face, he said,

Guard:" Shut the hell up if you don't want a beating!"

But Eric made her a sign to keep screaming, and she did just that. Seeing that his words were just like oil to the fire, the guard took the keys from the wall and came to complete his words.

All this time Takeshiba Aika hadn't stopped screaming, and it just annoyed and angered him more. With anger in his eyes, he opened the cage and was just about to enter inside.

At that moment, Eric jumped from his place like a leopard and went to kick the guard that opened the door of the cage.

The guard was caught unprepared as he hastily released the key, and tried to use his hands to protect himself, but still couldn't stop Eric's attack.

The kick connected and sent the guard flying, but while he was a bit hurt and lightheaded he wasn't knocked out, that was due to the difference in the levels.

While Eric had increased his levels these days he was still a level 18 while the guard he attacked was level 25. Even with the higher stats of his Jade Body he had, he could not knock him out with one kick.

This situation though alerted even the other guards that came running towards their destination, but Eric wasn't planning on fighting with them, he wanted to run away.

So grabbing Takeshiba Aika's hand he started running in the direction that the guard seemed weaker, as he pulled Takeshiba Aika from behind him.

Takeshiba Aika hadn't expected such a plan, she thought that maybe Eric had thought some detailed plan that would be foolproof for them to escape, but his plan was so simple.

He just kicked on guard, as he pulled her in the direction of the weaker guard to get out of the encirclement and escape.

She felt like all her thoughts about how to obstruct his plan had been so stupid and useless, he had done once again something out of her expectations.

Eric seemed to be concentrated on escaping at this moment and didn't seem to be paying much attention to her, as they reached the guard in front of them.

He didn't go for a head-on fight as that would stall him and obstruct their escape, so he dodged the guard, but the guard's goal wasn't him, but Takeshiba Aika.

Seeing this happen, as the guard was going for Takeshiba Aika, Eric pulled her towards himself with a bit more force than usual towards himself.

That pull managed to allow Takeshiba Aika to dodge the grabbing hands of the guard, but unfortunately, her dress didn't make it.

One of the dress straps was ripped, which brought one of her soft mounds out for a breath of air. At first, she didn't notice this, but when she felt the direct contact of her skin with Eric's chest she understood it.

Embarrassed that something like this happened in the midst of so many people, and all of them being lowly humans she got down, covered her body, as started screaming,

Takeshiba Aika:" Aaaahh~!"

Seeing this Eric wanted to grab her in his arms and start running away, but in that confusion, many more guards had appeared and blocked all their directions.

There was no chance of escaping from this place right now, so looking around he said with a stupid face,

Eric:" Aren't you guys a bit too good? Don't even give this little brother a small chance and hope of escape!"

The guards didn't seem to pay attention to his words, as they kept looking at him with menacing looks, and approached closer.

With this situation happening, Eric had no choice but to give up, as he took out his t-shirt, revealing his body, and gave it to Takeshiba Aika to wear it.

He wouldn't want other people to have a look at his women naked, so that was a must. While he did so he also revealed his toned up perfect muscles.

Takeshiba Aika was a bit startled as she looked towards him, and also a bit amazed by his body, and muscles, but that was not the important point right now, so he grabbed his t-shirt and wore it.

With that t-shirt, she looked like a tomboyish girl, but that just added to her charms. Eric seemed to be lost in his thoughts for a moment looking at her new appearance.

But this didn't last long, as he said with a calm and carefree voice,

Eric:" Let's go Aika-chan it seems our first escape try failed, so we better go back and plan more about our next try."

He didn't seem to have a care in the world about the menacing looks of the guards towards them, as he just walked back in the cage calmly.

Seeing this Takeshiba Aika just realized that she knew nothing about this guy, his character, or qualities. Nothing, in those three days she had had a great time, but never understood him completely.

And when the scandal broke out, she just thought that he was a worm trying to rotten an apple, so she just threw him out of her life.

The day when he fought with her guards she was frightened and shocked, she had never known that he had such martial arts prowess.

And now even in this situation, he could keep his calm, and act care freely even though he was surrounded by so many people.

Only when it came to her would he turn into a stupid man, and never think she meant him harm. If he had any social status something might work, but he was just a nobody, so there was no way.

Thinking like this she once again strengthened her resolve to go to the end of this plan and make sure he died in the end.

If he knew that this was her plan and the fact that she meant him harm, then she didn't think she would be capable of handling his revenge, so he must die in the end.

While she was walking with these thoughts in her head, Eric had his own. He was thinking about the peek he had, and that tomboyish appearance of her.

He couldn't wait to taste and eat such a delicious meal in front of him. But he had to wait, otherwise, all that he had done until now would be meaningless.

Entering the cage once again, the time started to proceed slowly, and it felt like a century by the time that afternoon arrived.

Right now, the guards all approached the cage, as one of them said with an aggressive voice,

Guard:" You, come with us. Our Master wants to see you!"

Eric didn't seem to like this situation and pointing towards Takeshiba Aika he said,

Eric:" What about her?"

Guards:" Master said nothing about her, now will you come or should we take you?"

Right at this moment, it would be pointless to fight against them that was simple logic, but yet he said,

Eric:" I won't come if she isn't by my side where I can protect her! Who knows what you trash could think of!?"

The guards seemed to be even more pissed at his attitude, but then a voice rang through the warehouse,

Voice:" Take them both!"

With no other option left they took the both of them out of their cage, as they sent them towards what seemed like a small office at the corner of the warehouse.

Inside there was a bit table, and a comfortable chair behind it, where someone seemed to be seated, with his back shown to them.

As soon as they entered the office, Eric and Takeshiba Aika were standing close to each other at first, but Takeshiba Aika was slowly distancing herself.

Noticing their arrival the guy started speaking,

Guy:" I must say you two, I am really disappointed at your futile try to escape earlier. If I don't give you a little punishment you wouldn't learn would you?"

Saying that he snapped his fingers, and immediately three of the guards pounced on Eric, to limit his movements, and pull him away, no matter how much he strugled.

Leaving behind only the mysterious man, and Takeshiba Aika in the room…
