The Legacy System

"Sigh~! No matter how much I hate the guy and don't want to admit it, he has the power to back up his words, furthermore, he said that he would give us evidence in less than a month.

He seemed pretty assured when he said that, and there was no hesitation whatsoever. Also, considering that he stayed behind to talk to Uncle Satoru, I would say that he knows things we don't know. ​​

And the last but not least, at the moment he has the power and the wits to crumble a family like the Miura's. That guy isn't simple in the least.

Even if we knew only the last one, it wouldn't be a good idea to go against him at the moment, since we don't know the true depth of his power."

Master Takeshiba wasn't really surprised at his youngest son's analysis as he had known for a long time now what he was capable of.

While he seemed like an arrogant idiot outside, Takeshiba Yuto was his pride as a father. His two bigger sons' had truly disappointed him, as they were short-sighted, and failed to look at the bigger picture.

He was still safe and sound, and they were already fighting on who would be the next head or next Master of the family.

He truly wondered just where the difference between them sometimes was, he had educated them all the same, but this third son was his pride and joy.

Hiding this pride and joy inside himself, he said in a serious and solemn voice,

"I think the same as you Yuto-kun, but you forgot something in there. The fact that you and your sister set-up the kidnapping, and that he took down 3 of your soldier teams as well!"

Takeshiba Yuto seemed like a little kid who was caught stealing candy, as he immediately wanted to justify himself, but his father raised his hand, as he continued,

"I don't care much about your reasons, or justifications, what it matters right now is that he seems to have enough affection for your sister to let this go.

We should make use of this, and try to get closer to him. If he is truly who he claims to be, then this is a golden opportunity for us to reach new heights.

Go and tell your sister to stay close to him! Advise her to maintain the friendship but nothing more at the moment.

When he gives the proof of his claims, then we can benefit from that, and make him part of our family, and strength.

He is an unknown in our plan, but if we can turn him to our side, it will just make our plan even more secure of success!"

Young Master Takeshiba Yuto had already expected such a situation and instructions, he knew about his father's plan, and his ambitions.

He wouldn't stop in front of anything that blocked his way to reach those ambitions, and his sister was just a chess piece in his hands.

But he wasn't any better than his father! They shared the same blood after all. They were both foxes, who would do anything to take the grapes from the tree.

With those thoughts in mind, he took his permission, left his father alone in the study room, as he walked towards his bedroom, thinking about the changes in his own plans.

As for telling this to the other big families, that would be just a loss of time, and stupid, because they would have a chance to negotiate with Eric.

In the meantime, not far away from them, Uncle Satoru was in the middle of an underground room, surrounded by five big thrones, as a strong light was falling upon him.

Contrary to the expectations there were no people seating in the five big thrones, but just five big black TVs, showing nothing more than a black screen.

As soon as he had left the Fragrance Hall, Uncle Satoru had headed towards this place, and report everything he knew.

Even though it was still early in the morning, the Council of Five had immediately gathered as they heard that it was an emergency meeting.

The Council of Five was the highest ruling 'government' of Japan, and it was made up of three men, and two women, who no one knew the identity of.

They only knew that these people were really strong, and all of them had ties to the Imperial families of the past.

While the country seemed to be lead by democracy and freedom, the true Masterminds, and decision-makers were these 5.

And everyone had to kneel, and do their bidding, otherwise, they would disappear without a trace from this world, and no one would be able to even mourn about them.

The Supernatural Division that Uncle Satoru commanded was directly under their jurisdiction, and not even the other families or the government could meddle in their way.

At this moment, Uncle Satoru had already told them everything that happened, and everything that Eric said without leaving out a single comma. He didn't dare to do it, with the current situation.

The five monitors were completely calm, and silent the whole time that Uncle Satoru made his report, only when they heard the possibility of new techniques, pills, and potions did they show some activity.

But even then, they only showed their presence and nothing more. The truth was that they had already sensed some kind of unrest in Japan, and around the world.

It was just that they thought it was only due to some countries' preparations to start some other war, they had never considered an outside power involvement in Earth.

After all, did they even exist!? They had some kind of sense that there was some other place they could go to if they passed the stage they were in, but they weren't sure where, or how.

Everything was a mystery to them, but now some kid comes out, claiming that he and the organization or clan behind him had existed for a long time, researching for that place.

Not only that, but they were also under the eye of the outsiders, and a big war was going to happen soon, with the people at its center.

Surely they didn't know what to make of it, but the fact was that he shouldn't be a normal person, not after the deal he proposed.

But was he truly trustable? They couldn't make a decision without proof, as they were not only making a decision for themselves, but for the whole country, and planet.

Suddenly a weak ancient voice broke the silence, as he said,

"What do you think about him Old Ghost!? Is he trustable!?"

Thinking a bit about this question Uncle Satoru, said in a solemn voice,

"After all that happened, and everything that was said, I think he meant his words. That kid isn't someone normal, his killing intent was almost tangible, and made even me tremble in fear."

At that moment, another old voice seemed to speak from another monitor, as he said,

"Isn't he just a cold-blooded killer then!?"

Taking permission Uncle Satoru answered,

"Not necessarily, he used his killing intent only to warn me not to get on his bad side, and he had no intention of truly killing me.

While I can't be sure of everything he said, he did tell me that he will present us the proof in less than a month, and the fact that he knows my identity isn't something we can just take lightly.

Most probably, I am not the only one whose identity he knows about, and yet he didn't use it to negotiate with us, or threaten us.

Just like he said I don't think he cares about us, or what we do, he is just warning us. He is planning on taking care of this all on his own!"

Uncle Satoru's words made the five people silent thinking again, but then one of the women said,

"No matter if he is true or not, we don't know the extent of his power and ambition, while he looks like a dangerous bet, I don't think we can afford to go against him at the moment.

Especially since we don't know the whereabouts of his possible Master, things are truly complicated at the moment.

One thing is for sure though, if he is right, and that truly happens, then the whole planet will go into difficult times, and it would have a rough shuffle.

We will once again return to the Dark Ages, and a new war of conquering will start."

Her words made sense, if what Eric warned them about truly happened, then the whole planet would become a big mess, and no one would be safe anymore.

They had to make preparations to confront such a thing, but first, they had to be sure that this was happening. They needed the evidence he had talked about.

At this moment, one of the monitors that had been the calmest during this time finally showed activity, as the old man behind it, said in a solemn voice,

"There is nothing we can do at the moment, besides making a pre-deal with him and waiting for the proof.

Only after he shows this proof he states, can we truly start thinking about what to do and take measures, to weather the storm that might be heading towards us.

I plan to go and take a look at this kid, and see what he is truly made up of."

Hearing those words, all the others knew that it would be useless and counter-productive if they continued talking, as the last woman who hadn't talked until now said in a solemn voice,

"Well, this seems to conclude this urgent meeting as we will go with the Old 4's suggestion. Old Ghost the responsibility of the pre-deal falls in your hands.

Dismissed!"
