The Legacy System

Eric didn't have the time to pay attention to how Old Five directed to Old Ghost, but even if he did he wouldn't react much, he knew that Old Five was ancient.

Right now he wanted just to finish signing the deal between them, and then after go and rest for some time. ​​

These few days had been a nightmare for him mentally, and physically, as he had to fight an army while trying to secure a future for himself.

When all was said and done he was satisfied with how things had gone until now, but still, this didn't change the fact that he needed a bit of rest.

When everything was done, and the deal was signed, Old Five threw Eric some kind of golden medallion, and said in a serious and solemn tone,

"This is the token showing the recognition of the Council of Five. And with that, you can ask for one favor from us! Keep it safe!

If you lose it, you lose the favor!"

Eric on the other hand grabbed the medallion flying towards him, and after he heard Old Five's words he said in understanding,

"I understand, let us hope that we will have a long and peaceful cooperation!"

Then while Old Five was about the leave the private box, he seemed to be reminded of something as he said,

"While I don't care how much attention you pay to my warnings, I can only advise you to be careful from now on, and not trust anyone. The rest is in your hands!"

Old Five was a bit surprised hearing those words, and especially understanding that those words were said for him, and not for the council.

But he also understood that this was everything that Eric would ever say to him, and now was in his hands to determine how much he valued Eric's words.

He didn't stop, and not even turn back as he said in a solemn voice,

"Kid to me, my country is first. No matter who and no matter what threatens my country must disappear. I hope you understand this.

How could Eric not understand his determination, especially knowing what would happen in the near future after the S-day.

But he said what he said just because he respected this old man and his determination, and the fact that unknowingly he had once saved his life.

It was not long after the S-day when Eric was still useless, and weak as a sprout, and this old man had saved him from a band of insurgents.

The old man had eradicated the gang, but even though that might have been his job, but still he had saved Eric's life.

Now, these words were a way to pay him back for that time. If he heard his words and didn't die then it was his win, if he didn't it was still his loss.

After Old Five left the private box, Old Ghost looked at Eric with a complicated look. While he knew about the council he had no idea about their identities, but now due to Eric, he knew Old Five.

What surprised him the most though was the fact that Old Five had been for as long as he remembered the head of the Guards Division and had never been promoted.

He had never had any high position on any agency or the government. Thinking like this, perhaps what he had heard was correct when one becomes the elephant in the room, doesn't bother with ants.

But Old Five had not only bothered with ants but was also protecting them from the shadows. This just showed how much he loved his country.

Noticing and understanding his thoughts Eric just gave a dry cough, as he looked towards him and said,

"Well, then Old Ghost let's take care of the last details and conclude this deal."

With that said the duo started negotiating back and forth as they took almost the whole day until noon to finally reach an agreement.

By the time they were done Eric was on his last straits. But he had managed to hold on until the end, as he finally accompanied Old Ghost outside.

But at least they had finally agreed on the enumeration about the herbs needed and the price of the completed product.

What Eric had sold earlier was the right to buy those products, as the price of the products was a different matter altogether.

During the negotiations, Uncle Satoru had even insisted on giving Eric a protective unit while he was here in the city, to protect him, and avoid any possible conflict.

But Eric had not accepted Uncle Satoru's 'kind' intentions as he said that he didn't need them and that he would take care of his own safety.

In the end, they agreed for a team to always stay behind Eric, and guard him in distance. But under no circumstance were they to intervene without his orders.

When Uncle Satoru finally left his private box, Eric was really tired and starving as he could no longer stand and just threw himself over the nearest couch.

At this moment someone knocked on his door, and he said in a tired voice,

"Come in!"

The moment his words sounded through the room, the door opened, and inside entered the purple-haired impostor.

She and her brother were working at the restaurant as waitresses at the moment, but they wouldn't continue to do that for long.

The only problem was their identities, they seemed to have deeper identities than he initially thought, and actually, those two were planted by his side.

They were both part of the Police department and if his doubts weren't wrong, those two were set to his side from his beautiful professor.

He was a bit puzzled at why she had come here at this time, but soon he was able to understand what was going on,

"Master Eric, I need to tell you something!"

Looking at her with curiosity in his eyes, Eric said in a weak but clear voice,

"Order me something to eat, and massage my shoulders as you say it. I am really tired!"

The girl was a bit hesitant at first but seeing how tired Eric was, she did as she was told, as she came on top of his back and started to massage him while telling him everything.

Just like Eric thought she was a police officer that worked under his teacher, as a matter of fact, she was a sergeant. And the other guy was truly her brother.

But they weren't just normal police officers as they were also part of Uncle Satoru's division, and were two of the best of their batch.

His teacher had planted them beside him with the idea to protect him, as who knew what Young Master Takeshiba Yuto could think of doing.

But now they had to blow their own cover due to the orders from their true boss, Uncle Satoru, as from now on they would be his specialized guards.

Of course, what they did from now on was his decision and responsibility. As from now on, he was their direct superior.

Both she and her brother were special people, as they both had supernatural powers, she had 'Eyes of the future', as her brother had 'steel body'.

Eric didn't seem really surprised by her words, as he asked in a low voice,

"What did they tell you two about me?"

The girl didn't seem to think much, as she said in a flowing voice,

"Nothing much really! He just told us that you are someone really important to the country and that we have to follow you and your orders from now on, no matter what they are!"

Hearing that, Eric turned his head around, and asked in a devilish tone,

"No matter what!?"

The girl was a bit startled but she didn't understand Eric's lusty thoughts as she answered quickly,

"Yes, no matter what!"

As soon as he heard those words, Eric turned around where he was, as he faced the purple-haired girl, while their secret parts were on top of each other.

Eric's little brother' was almost awake at that moment, even though Eric was still really tired. It looked like that part had a special battery right now.

Then playing with the hem of her uniform, he looked her in the eyes as he repeated,

"No matter what!?"

It was only now that the purple-haired girl understood Eric's words and their meaning, as she didn't know what to do.

To her following, the orders of Uncle Satoru went without saying, but at the same time doing something like this was beyond her reason.

She was at a crossroads and didn't know what to do. While Eric had left the hem of her clothes, and were trailing her body towards her average-sized soft pillows.

Recollecting herself quickly as a nervous pure lady that she was, she jumped away from Eric's reach, and said with a haggard breath,

"No matter what, besides that Master Eric!"

Eric felt a bit disappointed that he had lost this chance, but there would be many other chances soon, and he would be able to continue from where he left it.

Thinking like this, he got up from the couch, as finally, his food was here, and he was like a starving wolf at this moment.

The other waitresses and waiters brought the food and drinks for him, as he started with big gulps. It took around 10 to 15 minutes for him to finish the food for 4 people.

But after he finished, he felt full and happy. His weak and tired self of a few minutes ago seemed to have left, and he was now full and brimming with energy.

Now he could finally get out, and go home. There were people waiting for him there…
