The Legacy System

Chapter 487 – Wild Ambitions & Subduing Eric

"How about you come and work for me!? You seem to have a good attitude and talent, as long as you leave that woman and some of your treasures with me, I will make sure you don't regret it!

If you work hard enough you can even become my right-hand man, and when I conquer this world you will be above many, only under me!"

It was clear that Young Master Red's aspirations and ambitions weren't light. In fact, one could say that he was a lunatic consumed by greed.

In this modern world where public opinion would be swayed easily, and the general attitude against wars and fighting, it did sound a bit of a lunatic idea to think of conquering Earth.

Even Master Takeshiba had to take another look at the Young Master he had selected as his new son-in-law not knowing what to make of this.

All this time, Eric had only looked towards him once, and even that gaze didn't seem to show much of a surprise. It was like he had already expected something like this to happen.

There was no anger, rage, or any kind of emotion showing on his face at that moment. He didn't seem like he cared whether Master Takeshiba was there or not, completely focusing on Young Master Red.

That fully ignoring look made Master Takeshiba displeased with Eric's attitude, but it wasn't like he could meddle in the conversation between Young Master Red and him.

He first wanted to see how things would roll from there, and only after making a decision. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't surprised by the sudden proposal of Young Master Red.

But one look at Eric's face, and knowing his personality up to that point, he knew that there was no way he was going to accept something like that.

Eric gave him the vibe of someone that wouldn't budge even to Heaven, and even less someone like Young Master Red beside him.

As for Eric himself, while he was also a bit surprised by Young Master Red's words, he was also able to understand many more things hearing them.

The only people who would state such a big ambition publicly were only those that had the help of a powerful backer and great insurance.

Red Velvet organization was surely big and powerful, but they didn't have the rights, or capability to feed such a big ambition of this Young Master Red, so there must be something else.

The only thing that would possibly back up that great ambition, was the help of a system. Most probably this guy was another one of the seeds of those powers beyond Earth.

After Kirigaya Endo, he was finally coming across another seed planted from those powers. Since this guy was here and was making such a claim it meant that they had started moving.

Most probably his actions and his movements had forced those guys' hands and they had started to increase their efforts and precede their plans.

Of course, it was impossible for the S-day to happen faster than in his previous life because the barrier around Earth was supposed to be special, but things would certainly get rough from now on.

Still, no matter what happened there was no way that the man who wanted to look at the world in disdain would ever agree to serve under someone else.

Forgetting about the conditions of this guy called Young Master Red, even if he offered Eric to allow him to conquer everything under heaven and never appear, he wouldn't agree to it.

For that reason, Eric just showed a light chuckle to everyone present and then said in a cool voice,

"Hahaaha~! They say that big minds think alike, and it's only now that I have really felt it!

Young Master Red just stole the words out of my mouth! Why don't you come and work for me, as long as you swear your eternal fealty to me, I will make sure you never regret it!

Forget about this little planet, I will take you to a bigger stage, a bigger world, a wider universe, and rule it!"

If Young Master Red's words could be considered as wild ambitions, then Eric's words were nothing short of a madman's dream.

The only one who didn't think like that was Young Master Red, who was actually looking at Eric with a wary expression.

Eric's last line was bound to create disturbing waves in his heart, as not many people were aware of the existence of a wider world, and a wider universe out there.

His first thoughts were that Eric was just like him, a seed planted from those powers beyond the barrier just like himself.

"Are you one too!?"

For that reason, he couldn't help but ask this question. Eric understood that this guy had just mistaken him as another seed, but he didn't care.

In fact, this was a great opportunity for him to hide the existence of the Legacy System. He only needed to act as someone inside the game!

"That's right, I am! But my ambitions are way beyond yours! So it only serves to logic that you work under me, right?"

This sudden information clearly startled and surprised Young Master Red a bit, but he only pondered about it for a few moments, as he then started laughing once again, and when he finished he continued,

"Hahahahahah~! You sure have wild ambitions, even though you are a little dog! I need to thank you though as you have just widened my view and given me a better goal.

Unfortunately, the current you are too weak to contend against me, so you can only blame yourself for being so weak! I will make sure to subdue you fully!"

With that said, he made a sign towards the experts around Eric from different organizations to attack him and put him down.

Since he had all these idiots to work for him, there was no need for him to dirty his own hands. The experts were still a bit confused by what was happening, but they didn't dare to question the order.

They immediately prepared their best moves in the hope to reach Eric first and tie him down. Young Master Red had clearly stated that he didn't want Eric to die.

Eric saw all these guys attack and couldn't help but feel his blood boiling, wanting to fight them with everything he had.

It was in his favor that they wouldn't kill him nor Takeshiba Aika as that arrogant Young Master Red wanted them both.

So, he just guided Takeshiba Aika behind his back as he started either parring away or dodging attacks coming on his vitals, as his newest Ice-Flame daggers were dancing in the wind.

The moment that the two daggers appeared on his hands, Young Master Red's eyes sparkled with greed, and the same thing could be said for Master Takeshiba.

Even though they didn't really know just how precious those two daggers were, they understood that they were treasures that they couldn't let go of.

Still, knowing that there was no way for Eric to run away, they weren't really worried about him and just watched the scene unfold.

The more they saw Eric use the daggers to pierce through the enemies' protective barriers and kill them, the more certain they became of their value, and the greedier did their eyes become.

Seeing that Eric was being too vicious with them despite them having no intention to kill him, the experts around him decided to either get more vicious with him or attack his weak spot.

After all, Eric wasn't alone and he needed to protect Takeshiba Aika while fighting with all of them, as his SP points were racking up quite a bit with each extra kill.

Realm 2 experts weren't his match, and even Realm 4 experts weren't able to claim his life, this could easily show his fighting prowess and his strength.

Despite the current rules and situation, everyone could tell that Eric was a precious talent that they hadn't seen in a long time.

Thinking like that Master Takeshiba was a bit regretful towards trying to act against his son-in-law. As long as he was nurtured and used well by his Takeshiba family, he would become a great pillar to the family.

Unfortunately, it was too late now, and there was no medicine for regret, and now he could only hope for Young Master Red to subdue him or end him once and for all.

In less than 10 minutes though Eric was already out of breath and really close to start being played by the remaining experts around him.

After all, he was only one against many. It was already a great achievement for him to have lasted this long, as his worth in the eyes of Young Master Red and Master Takeshiba increased by leaps and bounds.

Young Master Red seemed to have made up his mind into using whatever resources and ways he could in order to subdue him and make Eric serve him.

He wasn't worried about Eric's escape Talismans because he didn't think that he would be able to use a lot of them in a short time.

Furthermore, he had his own ways of trailing him as long as Eric was inside his spirit sense area before disappearing.

In his eyes, this was nothing more than a show to wear Eric out, as he also tried to steal a look at Eric's treasure for fast movement.

Seeing that Eric was close to falling down, Young Master Red just looked at him with a grin on his face, and said,

"Did you have enough fun!? Are you ready to surrender now?"
