The Legacy System

"And do what!? Is this dead guy\'s word against his! No proof whatsoever! Not to mention that we would just be informing him we know about his involvement, and would make him raise his guard!

Nah, let\'s just forget about this, and continue our way! I will deal with him when the time is right. Furthermore, I don\'t think this is the only surprise on our way, there must be others as well."

Inuhara Muto could understand what Eric said, and knew he was right, so he just asked,

"So, what do we do?"

  "I thought you had started to understand me, brother-in-law, I plan on going to disrupt some parties!"

"Well, I thought as much! And don\'t call me brother-in-law, you are not my brother-in-law!"

"I am not!? But if your sister becomes my woman, then aren\'t you supposed to be my brother-in-law!? Don\'t tell me you aren\'t blood-related to her, or that you don\'t see her as your sister!"

"What? Of course, she is my sister, stop bullshiting!"

"Then you are my future brother-in-law!"

"No, I am not, Hina would never fall for a guy like you!"

"Really!? Do you want to bet!?"

"Sure!"

"If I win you will leave the agency and work for me!"

"Fine!..."

It was only at the end that he understood he had been played with, all this time Eric was just trying to disrupt his mental and emotional state, and make him agree to the bet.

And like a foolish rat, he had taken the bait without even thinking about it. This was just too stupid, he couldn\'t let that happen, so he quickly tried to negate it,

"No, no, no, this doesn\'t count. You cheated!"

"Huh, what do you mean!? Are you saying that you are a kid who can be played around with, and get cheated so easily!?

Furthermore, aren\'t you confident that Hina would never fall for me!?"

He was in a fit, left between a rock, and a hard place. No matter what way he chose he was bound to lose something, it was a question between his honor and future.

He already damaged his honor a lot by what he said earlier, this felt like it would be his final blow, and his honor would truly die.

His haste had made him get in big trouble and there was nothing he could do about it. So, he tried to defend himself with diversion,

"Yea but a bet is when both sides place their stakes, since you haven\'t done so, it doesn\'t count!"

"Oh, okay then, if I lose then I will leave my Master, and enter your agency, working for your country!"

This left Inuhara Muto speechless, there was not even the tiniest drop of doubt, and lag in his words, as he said that immediately.

This showed how confident he was in his win, which made Inuhara Muto feel even more depressed about his haste.

There was nothing more he could do to avoid the future anymore, as he could only abide by it. It was funny how some people valued their words and honor.

This was precisely why Eric had tried this on Inuhara Muto, every other guy would just refuse ever saying those words, but this guy set to his words in an almost naïve, and strong way.

One wouldn\'t know what to call him honest, and a man, or just an idiot! Still, he had the skills, and the abilities to be by Eric\'s side, and that was why he even set up this worthless bet.

  It was what it was, a stupid bet, but a bet that would change Inuhara Muto\'s future! Well, that is a story for another time.

After that, stupid bet, Eric quickly regained composure as he just looked at the lost and desperate face of his future brother-in-law, and said,

"Well let\'s keep going, I am in a mood to party tonight, and you seem like you want to release some steam!"

With that said, he went towards the two remaining sniper ladies, who still weren\'t able to understand what the fu*ck was going on, and how the fu*ck they ended up as they did.

A few moments ago, they had been terrified of Eric, and the way he dealt with the other 4, but he didn\'t kill them, and he didn\'t seem to be planning to, either.

They had no idea what to expect from him, and their confusion became even deeper as they saw him interact like that with the other guy.

To the two of them, probably even the Chaos theory would make much more sense than these two guys.

But there was nothing they could do besides being carried to one of the two cars they had used to block Eric\'s way, and then leave the scene with them.

But before they left, Eric didn\'t forget about one last guy that was an important part of this whole ordeal, the driver.

While that guy wasn\'t that important and probably had done this because he had been threatened or offered a good amount of money, he still had betrayed Eric.

Eric had a terribly soft, and painful corner about those that betrayed him, and even though this guy didn\'t even work for him, he couldn\'t bear leaving him alive.

Making up his mind, he suddenly started running in one direction, leaving the two female snipers, and Inuhara Muto surprised.

In a short amount of time, he had captured the driver, who had his face covered in snoot and tears, begging for forgiveness, which never came to him, as he lost consciousness and fell headless on the ground.

Finishing the job, and taking care of any loose ends, Eric returned to the place where he had left Inuhara Muto and the two snipers, only to discover them being under fire.

Apparently, the guys that were still waiting for them had grown tired of waiting for them to pass that way and decided to take the initiative.

The three of them were in a precarious situation right now, as the fire didn\'t seem to stop, and the cars were slowly going out of their capability to handle the bullets.

But that didn\'t matter right now, what he had to do right now was firstly assess the situation, and clean up the area.

While it would be a true pity if Inuhara Muto died in this place, he wouldn\'t cry much over it. What he liked about the guy was his potential, and future, he didn\'t have much of a connection at the moment.

With these thoughts in mind, he immediately spread his spirit sense as long as he could and started running towards the closest guy firing.

These guys were a team of 5 mercenaries, 2 of them were firing non-stop at the car, while the other 3 were checking the area.

Eric wasn\'t in sight at that moment, and they couldn\'t afford to relax their guard. Especially after they saw that there were signs of people and cars coming, but not leaving the area.

The weirdest thing was that there were no bodies lying around, everything was cleaned as nothing had happened.

They didn\'t know how Eric made that happen, but certainly, it wasn\'t an easy thing to do. So, they were all extremely cautious at the moment.

Too bad that in the next 10 seconds, they all died without understanding how, as each and every one of them had a slit through their throat.

In the noise, and racket that was going on with all those guys firing at the same time, the loss of one team didn\'t seem to attract attention, so Eric continued with his work.

Only when he took down, 3 of the 5 teams firing at the cars, were they finally able to notice his presence, and also the absence of their comrades.

Too bad that it was too late though, as they had lost more than 50% of their strength, and even though they quickly increased their guard, and started looking around more carefully, their end was the same.

In less than 10 minutes the last remaining teams went down, as Eric even managed to capture, 2 other snipers, and also 2 well-trained fighters.

If these guys knew what was best for them, they would accept to work for him and train his forces diligently, otherwise, they would just suffer and die in the end.

Every fight scene that he had fought was extremely clean though, there were no bodies, nor blood, only signs of fighting and broken branches, so no one would know whom he had captured, and whom he had killed.

His system was so bendy sometimes, that he couldn\'t even believe it. At the same time, he thought that he would have to thank whoever sent these guys.

They were adding up nicely to his SP points that were so important to him. He couldn\'t believe his luck right now!

He thought that from now on he should make a few more enemies to himself, like that he would have more people to kill and get SP points from.

He was disembarking in a path of blood, and slaughter but he didn\'t care. 

He knew and understood that the path to the peak was a bloody one, and one could climb the peak only by stepping on mountains of corpses.

And, in truth, he was perfectly okay with that. It didn\'t matter much to him, he had made peace with himself long ago.

Cleaning up the surroundings, and making sure he hadn\'t left any rats alive, he went to the cars and checked upon the situation of the trio, who were still taking shelter in the car.

In the meantime, he had sent Takeshiba Aika a message to send him another car without attracting attention, as he placed his hostages in there telling the driver to wait for his next instructions.

He let the car follow behind him, and Inuhara Muto filling it with more and more hostages, as they took down everyone blocking their path…
