The Legacy System

Without losing time, Cui Xie immediately did as he was told, as he personally explained everything that happened to the 5 people of interest.

It was unnecessary to mention that the person who was the angriest about this whole matter was Gao Jixie himself, as he couldn't believe just what a 'good son' he had raised.

He was trying to lay low, and use Weng Hao to deal with the whole matter, but that bastard of his had to go and mess things up.

He felt the need to go to the hospital and give that son of his, a good beating, even if he was on his deathbed.

Still, at the end of the day, he was his son, and he couldn't actually hurt him, so he had no other choice but to go and have a look at him.

...

On the other hand, the trio representing the government, military, and police were even more furious with the situation as they couldn't believe something like that had happened.

It wasn't like they judged Gao Jian for doing something like that, as they already knew of his character and bearing, but they judged the idiot for doing something like that to someone he shouldn't.

After all, there was no true justice in this world, just eternal benefits. Considering Gao Jixie's standing and benefits to the country, some things were easily overseen.

Even if something like that happened, they would just look for an intermediary solution of resolving the situation, like compensation or something.

In simpler words, these situations were the same as breaking one or two eggs to make an omelet. The eggs might break, but the result was satisfying food profiting the household.

The problem this time though was that unfortunately, the egg that the degenerate had tried to break was actually a young dragon's egg, and they had to deal with his anger.

In fact, the three of them had thought that despite Gao Jian's wrong move, he and Cui Xie's sister weren't a bad match, and Master Weng Hao went as far as proposing to force the Gao Jian to marry her.

That had only thrown Cui Xie into a bigger fit of anger as he even screamed at Master Weng Hao full of undisguised anger,

"Are you seriously telling me to consider marrying my sister to the man that tried to rape her? Why don't you send your daughter his way since you think so highly of him?

Or should I come and rape your daughter and then you can marry her to me!?"

Those words sent Master Weng Hao in full-blown rage and fury, as he screamed,

"Brat you are going too far!"

"And you think that you didn't? Dare say that once again, and I will make sure that not only you don't get a part in the deal, but also suffer a fate worse than death!

No one messes with my only left family!"

The three old men that had been thinking the same as Weng Hao a moment ago couldn't help but feel ashamed and embarrassed at their thoughts, and also praise Cui Xie from their hearts.

People who cared about their family like him were really rare in this modern capitalistic world, as they promised to force Gao Jixie to offer a sufficient apology.

While they promised that, Master Weng Hao seemed to have grown even more ferocious and angry towards the greenhorn that was Cui Xie and swore to himself to make him pay.

The way he saw it, this was the perfect moment for him to steal the formulae and act against Cui Xie, with the help of Gao Jixie.

After all, if Gao Jixie didn't act with him now, then he would end up suffering a lot more to apologize to Cui Xie.

As for those old men, well as long as he had the formula, and Cui Xie was dead, just what could they do about it. The only reason they backed Cui Xie at the moment was due to the formulae he provided.

Once he lost his value, then they didn't have any other reason to actually stand by his side. There were no eternal friendships, only eternal interests.

…

In the meantime, in the spacious room of a big and luxurious hospital, a totally wasted Gao Jian was crying in pain to his mother.

"Aaarrgghhhh~! Mom, they wasted me! Those damn low lives wasted your son! I can't even give you a grandkid anymore!

I hate them, mom, I hate them! I want to make them regret they were ever born! I want to rape that bi*tch for every remaining day of her life!

I want to make her feel the regret and pain of turning me like this! Please, mom! You have to help me!"

Beside his bed, a woman who looked to be around her 40 with a stunning body, and curves, seemed to be in tears of pain and anger, tried her best to console him,

"Jian'er don't worry mother will help you! Mother will make sure to help you with everything! Just wait for your father to arrive, we will make them suffer for whatever they did to you! I promise!"

At that moment, the door to the hospital room opened, and the man of the talk Gao Jixie entered the room, with a furious expression.

He was enraged and furious at his son for trying something that stupid, but at the same time seeing his son's condition made him feel heartbroken and angry.

The truth was that he had quite a few bastard sons spread through the city, and even wider, but this was his favorite, as he was a carbon copy of his younger self.

He had given this son of his everything he could and had spoiled him as much as he could. After all, Gao Jian was his hope and his successor, the son that would help him spread his empire even wider.

Yet right now, his son had done such a stupid mistake and had ended up in a state that made him extremely heartbroken.

At that moment inside his heart, a mountainous hatred towards the people causing this was erected, but on the outside, he kept his anger and fury as he screamed at his own son for the first time in his life,

"You damn bastard, how dare you do something like that? Do you know who the fu*ck did you mess with? Do you know the troubles you caused for me?"

Both mother and son duo were extremely surprised at his act, as this was truly a first, and for a few moments, they were both baffled.

The next moment though the mother jumped like an eagle in front of her son, to protect him from the anger of her husband, and at the same time attack the man,

"You… How dare you scream at my son!? Don't you see the state and condition he is in right now? What fault does he have, if that sl*ut tried to seduce him, and then act like she was being forced?

What kind of father are you to actually act like that towards him? The moment I accepted to marry you, you promised me that you will make our son live like a prince and that you will take care of anything.

But now you actually scold and scream at him? Could it be that you are going back on your promise, and trying to make one of your bastards take his place?

Do you think I don't know about your affairs and your other bastards? Still, I have kept quiet just because you treat my son like you should and intend of making him your successor!

Yet you dare to scream and scold him! Should I take him with me and return to my family? There no one will be able to treat him like this!"

Even Gao Jian couldn't help but forget about his pain for a moment and look at his parents with a strange look.

This was the first time that he was actually hearing something about his mother's background, he had always thought that she had been a poor secretary who fell for his father or something.

But now he understood that perhaps his mother was actually scarier than his father. Taking courage from that thought, he looked towards his father and said,

"Father, how can you be so heartless at your son? Screaming and scolding me just because she is the sister of some lowlife gangster, who thinks too highly of himself?

Those bastards have made your son unable to give you the joy of being a grandfather! How can you still have the heart to scold me?"

The words of his wife and his son made the big businessman Gao Jixie lower his head for the first time in his life, release a sigh and then say,

"If that was the Cui Xie of three weeks ago, then I wouldn't have bothered with this. In fact, I would have helped you rape his sister right in front of his face.

But the problem is that his standing and the situation you have created are extremely different at the moment.

You don't know this, but two weeks ago, Cui Xie arranged a meeting with me and those other 4 guys and presented us with a big deal that none of us could refuse.

A chance to actually produce and sell those new potions that everyone is talking about nowadays. Not only that, but he also said that he might bring us even better formulae!

Obviously, we wouldn't agree to the deal as equals if he didn't have enough strength, but that guy has someone as strong as that lunatic Huo Tie on his side, and most probably he isn't the only one.

Not only that, but in these two weeks, he completely took over the underworld, and is trying to actually legalize it, as he has wiped out all opposition!

The Cui Xie of the moment is someone who might even surpass me in the power ladder…"
