The Legacy System

When Eric finally left Fujiwara Amane, and the two maids were in deep sleep beside each other, as the time it showed to be around 3 o\'clock in the morning.

He had truly spent a lot of time in there, but it wasn\'t like he regretted it anyway. As a matter of fact, he felt truly relieved and fresh at that moment.

​​

He didn\'t know why he suddenly had a feeling to whistle lightly, as he started walking towards his next destination, Shiro.

Even though he had already turned Fujiwara Amane into his pet, he didn\'t have full confidence in her, or it would be more exact to say about her surroundings.

The Yakuza that was handed over to him while in a critical moment it was a simple organization by any means.

An organization that had a value of more than 3 billion dollars was anything but a simple organization.

The amount of hard work and sweat to build it, and bring it up to such heights should be unimaginable by normal people.

And yet he was supposed to believe that its creator, its builder had so simply decided to hand it over to him just because he didn\'t see a future if he didn\'t?

Perhaps that might have been his true intentions, but there was no way that Eric was going to believe them so easily.

When his own family, his own blood-brother, and his own oath brothers had betrayed him in his life, then how could he easily believe to someone he didn\'t even know.

At this moment he didn\'t even trust, Kirigaya Kaito, or even the 4 ladies he had taken with him into his training tour, so one could easily guess how much he believed the old Yakuza Head.

For that reason, it was extremely important for him to make a confrontation of reports with Shiro, and try to find if there were any discrepancies.

When he reached Shiro\'s place, he found him on the bed covered in a thin blanket with two beauties by his side.

The two of them weren\'t bad, but he had no intention of touching someone or something that his servants and slaves had already touched, and defiled.

Without putting much focus on them, he walked towards the study room, as he ordered Shiro through his slave seal to wake up immediately, and reach for the study room.

There was no way that Shiro could disobey his order as he immediately opened his eyes shocked, and then made his way towards the study room.

Entering inside and looking at his Master, made him somewhat happy. He didn\'t know if that was due to the slave thing effect, or because he was genuinely happy, but still, he kneeled in front of him, and said,

"Welcome back Master!"

Eric was still rummaging through the desk in the study room, as he wasn\'t even looking towards him, as he asked,

"Tell me, what has happened while I was away?"

Hearing the order Shiro immediately started talking,

"Just like Master ordered I have been keeping an eye on those old fogies and the Mistress Fujiwara Amane.

From what I have observed until now the Mistress seems to be clean, and she is working really hard in order to satisfy Masters expectations of her.

As for those old fogies, I haven\'t been able to find any wrongdoing at the moment, as they all seem to have retired and left everything in her hands, but I don\'t believe it.

I have no proof to back it up Master, but there is something that just doesn\'t fit correctly in this whole picture!"

It wasn\'t like Eric was expecting to have proof immediately, otherwise, it would have been just really boring, but he was surprised by Shiro\'s words. So, he asked,

"Oh, and why do you think so?"

"Well, this is embarrassing to accept Master, but I guess you could say that a sly fox recognizes another!"

Hearing that Eric was startled for a moment, but he actually believed those words, or it would be more appropriate to say that those words just solidified his doubts a bit more.

There was one thing that he had decided to not ignore in this second life of his, and that was his instincts.

In the previous life, his instincts had warned him so many times against those that he called family, and against those he called brothers but he had ignored them every time.

But he had no intention of letting something like what happened to him in his previous life ever happen again, and trusting his instincts was a good start of change.

With those thoughts in his mind, he said,

"I understand, just continue observing them from afar, don\'t get too close to them, or attract too much attention!"

"Understood Master!"

"Now what about the other assignments I gave you?"

"Everything is already settled Master, I have already been able to pick up 7% of the people from the old list, and 6% from the new list, for a total of 125 people.

Just like you ordered they were all \'killed\' legally together with their families, and brought to that place!"

This was one of the big assignments that Eric had left for Shiro, it was to pick up people that would be useful in the future for his settlement, and also part of those guys he had sent from Africa.

Certainly, these numbers were really low, but he couldn\'t let Shiro handle everything and catch too much attention.

He felt that even this was borderline with danger as people from the Yakuza might start thinking that he was planning something underhand.

He couldn\'t allow himself to use such a useful pawn like Shiro at the moment, otherwise his grip over the Yakuza, information, and connections would be lost.

"What about the house!?"

"Everything went smoothly Master, I was able to find a really good place in the nearby town. It is a mansion with more than 20 rooms, 6 bathrooms, 4 kitchens, and a large surrounding territory.

While it was a bit expensive it was worth every penny. I have also started the building of the underground part, and even the preparations for the surroundings.

The staff is also screened multiple times, and more than 50% trustable. In fact, I personally selected the maids for Master, they are all pure and chaste beauties!"

The last but not least assignment he had left for Shiro was to find another house for him in the nearby villages, or towns around Tokyo.

That would be his base camp to train the first batch of people that would serve under him. Senkaku Islands were the best base, but it was too eye-catching right now.

Furthermore, he didn\'t have the necessary personnel, and manpower to protect it or keep it clean from all the people that would be trying to mess with him.

For that reason, he needed a makeover base for starters, in order to train the base personnel, he would need to do that, and also to build the foundation of his power.

The reason why he didn\'t go far away from Tokyo was that at the moment he himself, and all his businesses were in here, and he wanted to have them as an emergency backup just in case.

With these things taken care of, he could finally feel like things were starting to shape up towards the future he wanted to form.

Things were definitely shaping up greatly for him, but this was just the beginning he had still a lot of work ahead.

But he had to accept that Shiro had surprised him quite a bit, he had never thought that this sly fatty would be this useful, and helpful to him.

Furthermore, he was getting a vibe like Shiro was working truthfully under him, like Shiro had truly accepted him as his Master, and had tied his life and future with him.

Not that it would change anything though, as it was simply a miscellaneous matter, but this definitely made Eric feel strangely happy.

It was really difficult to find retainers, and servants that would truly serve their Master or Lord, Eric was a clear example of that in his past life, so this felt a bit strangely good to him.

Now wasn\'t the time to think about stuff like that though, as he didn\'t have the time to waste on that, as he said,

"Well done Shiro, you have done a truly good job, I hope you keep it up! I will contact you with further instructions when needed!"

Saying that he ordered Shiro to return back to his bed, and sleep, as he disappeared from there to go to his next destination, Young Master Miura.

He was one of Eric\'s most precious trump cards! Not only did he provide him with his secret hideout, and important information, but he also helped him into tying any loose ends without even knowing it.

In this one month that he had been away Eric was sure of himself that his enemies didn\'t stay put, they weren\'t that much stupid after all.

Certainly, they must have made a few preparations in order to face him, whether straightforward or underhanded.

And whoever had thought about it, wouldn\'t be able to skip past his public number one enemy that had suffered the most under his hands.

After all, in the public\'s eyes, Eric had killed the guy\'s father, together with his family\'s power and standing.

As if that wasn\'t enough, after doing all this he had thrown him away, and completely ignored his existence as if he was nothing more than a harmless fly.

If there was one person that truly hated him, then it must be the new Master Miura. He was the honey that gathered all the flies for Eric…
