The Legacy System

The receptionist was clearly baffled at his words, as she had never even thought that someone would ever introduce himself like that, or ask something like that.

In fact, she thought that her mind or her ears were playing tricks on her and that she might have heard that wrong, or might have imagined it.

For that reason, she asked with an embarrassed smile on her face,

"I am truly sorry Young Master, but I think I misheard your words! Can you tell me once again how may I help you?"

Eric expected something like this to happen, as nobody seemed to know him or have any idea who he was, but still, he just repeated the same words with a calm tone,

"Tell Takeshiba Yuto, your boss, that his young brother-in-law is here!"

The first time she had thought that probably was her mistake, and she had misheard his words, but right now there was no mistake.

  She had clearly heard him this time, but she was still shocked by what she had heard. Eric looked like a Young Master from a rich family, but saying something like that to her boss, or even his secretary, was a bit difficult for her.

Not only for her but for anyone in her position hearing this it would be extremely difficult to be passed to the next in line.

She was in a pinch because she didn't know what to do. Everyone that came to this place was some Young Master she couldn't afford to offend, and Eric wasn't an exception.

Still, what he had asked her to say was a bit difficult. Looking one more time towards Eric who seemed really calm, and collected, she decided to bite the bullet.

As she got connected to Takeshiba Yuto's secretary and transmitted Eric's words to her. Contrary to her expectations, she didn't seem to be surprised by this.

While most of the people might now know about what had happened the previous night, due to their own reasons, Takeshiba Yuto's personal secretary would surely know.

After all, she wasn't just his Personal Secretary, and Assistant, but also his stress reliever, lust reliever, and counselor.

The other night, she had participated in the party, as she was also surprised by the big bomb surprise that Master Takeshiba had thrown on all the guests.

But her Boss, and Master had clearly warned her to treat him with the same respect she treated other people in the Takeshiba family.

Immediately as she got news of it, she notified her Boss, who said that he would immediately go out to receive him.

The receptionist was shocked at the answer she got, but she didn't dare to tardy, as she immediately said in a slightly lost voice,

"Yo-ahem-Young Master, Young Master Takeshiba Yuto will be here in a short time to personally receive you!"

Eric just nodded at her, as he turned towards his entourage and said,

"Don't you think those guys are getting a bit late!? I thought they would be here by now!"

The receptionist didn't understand what he meant as she thought that Eric was probably talking about her boss when suddenly a big Red Alert started sounding through the whole building.

The elevators got blocked, as most of the emergency exit doors did too, and loud step noises were being heard closer and closer to them.

This situation clearly surprised the receptionist, and all the people in the building, as it looked like some kind of terrorist attack was happening right now.

After all, code Red was the highest danger alert code and was used only in case of fire, or terrorist attacks, but seeing the Emergency Exit doors blocked, then it was surely a terrorist attack.

But while the receptionist was truly agitated, frightened, and confused at the same time, as she didn't understand what was going on, Tianlong Yun just said with a calm sigh,

"Sigh~! Doesn't that guy think he might have exaggerated it a bit too much?"

Even though the Red Alert sound was really loud, she was still able to hear Eric's words, as she was even more shocked. Apparently, he had something to do with this!

Just as she thought like this, their Emergency Exit door was opened, and more than 15 security guards, dressed in special forces suits, and with guns on their hands entered from that door.

She was still stupefied by what was going on when they started screaming,

"Put your hands behind your head, and get on your knees! Put your hands behind your head, and get on your knees! Now! Otherwise, we will shoot you down!"

The receptionist lady didn't dare to get late even for a second, as she immediately did as she was told, while Eric and his entourage just looked at what was happening with a calm look.

The arriving security guards were surprised at their standing but still didn't shoot, and just warned them once again loudly,

"Put your hands behind your head, and get on your knees! Now! Otherwise, we will shoot you down!"

Eric pretended to not hear their warnings, as he said with a harsh, and dark voice,

"What is the meaning of …!?"

But he wasn't able to finish, as that captain guy of earlier appeared in front of him, and tried to hit him with the back of his gun, as he said,

"Stop talking you terrorist tra…!"

But before he accomplished his goal, Inuhara Hina grabbed his hand, rotated it around 180 degrees, took his gun away, and placed it on his head, while turning him into a meat shield against his colleges!

Her actions stunned the arriving security guards and even the idiotic captain that had fallen into her hands. Everything had happened so fast, that they hadn't been able to act.

While the armed security guards were trying to understand what had just happened, Young Master Takeshiba Yuto appeared on the other side of the hallway, behind Eric.

He was clearly startled, surprised, and confused about the scene in front of him, as he didn't expect such a thing, and even more when he heard the security guards, recollect themselves, and say,

"You are already considered terrorist threats to the building, don't make things worse by keeping our friend hostage!

You better put your hands behind your head, and get on your knees! Now! If you still want to leave this place alive!"

But what they hadn't expected that in place of Eric's voice, they heard the loud, and angry voice of Young Master Takeshiba Yuto,

"Can someone just explain to me what the fuck is going on here? And why are you treating my brother-in-law as a terrorist?"

His words were a catalyst to the already shocked security guards, as even they didn't understand what was going on anymore, as they were looking at each other with clear shocked faces.

All they knew was that the guy who was now in Inuhara Hina's custody had come to them running, screaming about a terrorist attack.

They had immediately acted and had arrived here as soon as they could to face the terrorist group of four. 

The only thing they could do now was, look at the dark and gloomy expression of their colleague, who seemed to have just shit his pants, and ask for an explanation.

But he didn't seem like he would talk anytime soon, so they were all in a truly strange situation, as finally, it was their targeted terrorist who came to their help,

"Don't blame them brother-in-law as it isn't their fault. They were just being led here by this trash!"

He said that looking towards the captain in Inuhara Hina's custody, something that didn't really surprise the guards, because it was true. But that didn't explain the situation!

Young Master Takeshiba Yuto was the same as them, as he asked with a solemn look,

"Just what did exactly happen, brother-in-law? And why is this guy blaming you as a terrorist?"

Eric was expecting for this, as he started speaking with a sigh,

"Sigh~! It's a long story but the root of the problem lies with your good friend, Young Master Shiba!"

Once again Young Master Takeshiba was startled, as he didn't expect something like this to happen, just what kind of trouble had that idiot started again.

While he was treating him as a good friend, that was only for pretend as he needed him to keep a low profile for himself, and also for the information he provided him with.

Furthermore, that idiot was a good scapegoat for any case or situation. Yet, he couldn't stop creating trouble for him, so he was already deciding to get rid of him.

Then hearing Eric's story of what had happened he was even more assured that it had been that idiot's fault.

Not only that, but that fu*ker was using his name in the front of the crowd like some kind of passport to bully precisely this 'brother-in-law'.

Eric just told everything that had happened without exaggerating it, but the guard on Inuhara Hina's custody couldn't help but scream,

"No, no, he is lying. I had nothing to do with that! I just did my job, Young Master Takeshiba please, you have to believe me!"

But any hope he had in that regard was destroyed by Eric's words, and smirk,

"You seem to be a bigger idiot than I thought! Not to mention all the people that witnessed it, there are cameras to this place, you know!"

He had tried to protect himself in a moment of weakness, and desperation but it had fired back, as he had totally forgotten about the cameras.

He had thought that he would easily climb the problem of the Red Alert with Young Master Shiba's help, but he had just dug his grave pit deeper.

The security guards were truly surprised and stunned by what Eric had just described, as they felt big fools to be pulled by the nose like that, as they looked with killing intent towards the guy.

For a strange reason, they didn't even doubt Eric's words, as now was the matter of how should they resolve this!
