The Legacy System

Meanwhile, Eric was standing in front of her with a devilish grin on his face, Daisuke behind him, as he waited for her to recollect herself.

It took a while for her to get used to the situation around them, but she was still wondering what happened, and how. ​​

She could only remember that she was eating the soup, and then she fell unconscious. Did she mistake the plates? No, that wasn't possible, she had been really careful about that.

So how it ended like that, she was certain that Eric had something to do with it, but when. She had been by there all the time.

Then she remembered the only moment when she closed her eyes and left herself to be drowned by pleasure, or when she was confused about what to do.

But both those moments were really short, it would be impossible for a normal person to do something to the food at that time.

She just couldn't even imagine what had happened. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure it out at all.

In the meantime, the guy on the floor gave his last breath and died. Looking at this, Eric decided to stop waiting and said in a surprised voice,

Eric:" Little pet, what have you done!? How could you kill that innocent guard?"

Hearing that Tina was once again brought off track, it was only then that she was remembered the bleeding guy on the floor.

But what did he mean with her killing him!? He was there on the ground bleeding when she awakened, so there was no way that she did such a thing.

With that thought in mind, she said in a spur of the moment,

Tina:" What do you mean, he was lying there on the ground when you awakened me."

Eric wanted to laugh at her innocent words at the spur of the moment, as he said with a totally serious voice,

Eric:" I mean what I said, how could you kill him like that, you pierced his heart through with a kitchen knife, just to save Daisuke-Kun?

I-I am shocked little pet! Isn't that right Daisuke?"

Tina was really confused hearing those words, how could she have done something like that, when she was unconscious over there.

This was clearly Eric trying to set up the blame on her, but she wouldn't accept that. But then she was shocked hearing Daisuke's answer,

Daisuke:" Yes Master, she did kill him in front of my eyes, trying to protect me."

Tina was totally shocked, the heck was this? Only now she finally remembered that Daisuke was here too, but his answer to Eric's question left her stupefied.

'Master?' Since when did Eric become Daisuke's Master, and where the hell was Yuuji Shiro? What the hell had happened during the time she was unconscious?

She had so many questions in her head, and none of them seemed to be receiving any answer. The only ones, who knew what happened, were Eric and Daisuke.

Breathing deeply for a few times, Tina could finally start making some connections of her own. And then taking a deep breath she said,

Tina:" Anyway even if I did what is the big deal with his death!?"

Eric seemed to be apprehensive of her intelligence and said with a lost tone,

Eric:" Well, you see little dog, this guy has some connection to the higher-ups of the Yakuza, Daisuke's friends."

This revelation clearly shocked Tina, but she could finally piece the things together. So she said with a defeated tone,

Tina:" This is a setup for me, isn't it Master? Has Daisuke been working for you from the start?"

Eric didn't know what Tina was thinking inside her little head, but it didn't matter much, he just liked the idea of throwing her off track, while she didn't create problems for him.

Thinking like this, he said with a calm tone and a grin on his face,

Eric:" You are so smart when you want to be, little dog. As for Daisuke's topic, it doesn't matter much.

Too bad that your plans won't succeed though, I am sure you had created so many dreams about yourself, little dog!"

Tina felt so humiliated right now, all this time she thought she was playing with him, and now suddenly it turns out she was just a little toy in his game.

She didn't like this at all, she had done so much to be able to get this chance, she had supported so much humiliation and pain.

Yet when it was time to reap the benefits of her hard work, she was just sidetracked by the person she didn't want the most.

This was so unfair, life was being so unfair to her right now. This couldn't happen, but in reality, it had happened, and this was her new reality.

She didn't want to accept such a thing but there was nothing she could do about it. Even if she went crazy and tried to kill Eric, she knew her chances of succeeding were 0.

She had been utterly and totally defeated, the only thing she could do now for the moment was being in Eric's mercy, and slowly plan her way out.

Reasoning like this she said like a person who had given up on life,

Tina:" Ok, now what Master!?"

Eric knew that this woman hadn't given up so easily, but anyway it was better that she cooperated at the moment.

He could keep her under control through Yuuji Shiro if the need arises anyway. So with the same calm tone of always, he said,

Eric:" Well now we will be going to Akira's apartment, we can't have them find you here can we? Not to mention that Daisuke needs to call his men, and remove the body."

Like this, he went close to Akira and lifted her carefully on his arms, while Tina walked in front of them, and Daisuke was behind them as a servant.

Making sure no one was able to see them passing from one apartment to the other, Eric went straight for Akira's bedroom, while Daisuke closed the door behind them.

Placing Akira slowly in her bed, he turned to Tina and said,

Eric:" This will be your new home for some time, make yourself comfortable. This is your friend's home, after all, isn't it?"

Tina was a bit startled hearing that, but she kind of expected this, and said with a sigh,

Tina:" Sigh~! So you did know!"

Eric didn't seem to give much importance to that comment, as he turned to Daisuke and ordered,

Eric:" Go outside and act according to the instruction, make sure the blame falls on Tina, and protect Michael from any possible danger.

Make him your permanent right-hand man!"

Hearing this Tina felt a bit relieved but also very confused. Why was the same person who was humiliating, and torturing her and her son, the one who protected him?

It didn't make sense at all! As if anticipating these thoughts of hers, Eric turned around to her and said,

Eric:" I am protecting you two because you have to suffer in my hands, and not the others. That would be too easy for you."

These words stupefied Tina, she didn't know what to think for a while now. Why did he hate them that much? What had they done to him?

It was true that she killed his father, but that was her, her son only kept quiet about it.

The treatment was rough, but just to make him leave the house, and not ask for inheritance or something.

Only these things didn't seem to add up to the hate and rage that he seemed to bottle up inside though. But what else had they done to him?

She couldn't remember anything else at the moment. It was useless unless he decided to tell them himself, they would never know.

How could they know what the previous future held, and what they had done to him in that previous future? Eric was the only one who knew and had lived through that.

Looking at the right side of his system interface he saw the percentage was only at 3% and it would take some time before the installation was finished.

He had sent Daisuke to deal with the situation at the other side, what he needed to do now was to train, and think about his next step.

Later in the day he even had a meeting with the guy occupying the apartment above his, but now it wouldn't be more just renting, but direct buying.

After all, his two new slaves brought him a lot of funds he could use, so buying 2 or 3 apartments wasn't a big deal to him.

And there was a lot of information regarding the Yakuza, their composition, and leadership. Yakuza was like the new big family of Japan, that the other families were constantly fighting.

While the fight continued all the time, they had soon released that they couldn't erase each other without getting burned themselves.

With this situation at the moment, they decided it would be better to cooperate than fight and lose, so they placed some boundaries that couldn't be crossed.

This was the reason why there were no big fights at the moment, and they seemed to be concentrated on their own yards.

Eric was able to get all this information from Yuuji Shiro's memories, apparently, this guy was the instructor to the heiress of the Yakuza family.

While it may seem difficult to believe Yuuji Shiro, was a really intelligent guy, he was going to kill Daisuke and take his region under control, while blaming Tina and Akira.

This guy was a typical snake that hit only when he had a perfect shot. The only thing he didn't expect was a variable like Eric.

He probably had never imagined that while he was playing with most of the Yakuza family camp, he would be done by a milk-boy. So ironical.

Not to mention that this guy was planning to take control of the Yakuza family by trapping the heiress, while the head of the family was being poisoned.

It was…
