The Legacy System

Chapter 691 691: Full Surrender* & Surprise

At first the beautiful assassin must have thought that Eric wasn't much, as he wouldn't be using this roundabout way if he was truly something.

Not only did this way take a lot of time, but he didn't enjoy it much. After all, the ladies were doing the job for him, and he was only watching.

In fact, Eric could have done that from the start and personally show the beautiful assassin who was the Master, but he didn't do it just for false pretenses.

He wanted to make the beautiful assassin lower her guard as much as possible before giving her a hit that she would never be able to recover from, and he definitely did so.

Whether the beautiful assassin licked it or not, the moment that she exploded like a volcano and lost her conscience for that brief moment, she had already lost the war.

Eric had to respect the beauty, she had won quite a few personal battles, even one or two against the Little Princess but she had definitely lost the War.

She didn't have any way of reversing the situation, as Eric had already placed a slave seal on her conscience sea, and she had no other way but to obey him.

Of course, if it were just so he could place a slave seal on her, all this play wouldn't be worth it. As there was one more reason why Eric did something like this.

He intended to look beyond what the beauty even knew she had in her conscience sea, and in order to do that, he needed to first completely disconnect the knot in her conscience sea.

As an assassin of the Assassin Tower, it would have been truly stupid not to place a lock on most of her memories considering her job and affiliation.

Even more so it would have been truly foolish of the Assassin Tower not trying to explode or do something to make sure that the information would never get out.

The only way for Eric to be able to salvage was by making sure that the 'bomb' wouldn't go off, while he tried to deactivate it, or just salvage as much as he could.

Basically, what Eric was trying to do was completely shut down the power in a house that contained a bomb inside and try to defuse the bomb while the power was off.

His plan was a complete success as the beauty, or better said her conscience realized that something was off, only when it was too late.

"You… You… How did you do it!?"

"Heheheheh~!

You are going to learn about it slowly from now on, whats the most important thing now though is to check whether the bomb is fully defused, and what kind of information can you give me!"

Eric was most certainly successful on his attempt, as he already had all the information he needed. 

The only reason why he was testing the beauty was because he didn't want to have a ticking time bomb by his side.

While the beautiful assassin was certainly a great addition to his forces, and even more so to his bed, it wasn't to the point where he would keep it if she were flawed.

The ladies around him were already becoming better and better, reaching higher and higher, it was better to lose her now that she meant nothing rather than later when she held meaning.

Of course, he had no intention of revealing his thoughts to the beauty in front of him, he would be stupid if he did.

Since the beauty didn't know everything, she couldn't help but feel the tension and fear of losing her life or her mind, but she couldn't disobey Eric who was now her Master.

"It's not me!"

"Huh~!?

Speak louder, I can't hear you!"

It had been such a long time since the beauty had been scared for her life, most probably because she felt like she had gained a new chance in life.

Previously if she failed in her mission, or she disobeyed the higher-ups in the Assassin Tower she would be forfeiting her life, or even worse be 'thrown away'.

She knew better than anyone what happened to those being 'thrown away'!

It wasn't like a retirement plan for them, they were actually turned into 'whores' for those old bastards, or for the new trainees.

That was something out of question, she didn't want to become like that!

Now that 'that' option was out of question, she couldn't help but feel that she had control over her life once again, even if it were for a brief moment.

That was because the next moment she was able to remember that her life now was on Eric's hands. Her role or position hadn't changed, just the Master!

Everything depended on what Eric had in store for her, and unfortunately, she wasn't even in the position to actually discuss her standing with him.

She could only accept her fate!

"As long as you obey my words and orders, your life will be yours to live!

I will only promise you this, as long as you don't cross me I will never cross you!"

Could there be much better words to be said!?

That was for sure! 

Could it have been said in a better way!? 

Of course!

But Eric wasn't trying to gaslight her, he was trying to convey his honest words and thoughts, whether she believed him or not was entirely upon her, and it didn't really matter to him.

After more than 10 years now into the new life, he had become more mature and collected, he had completely merged with his younger self now to become the real him.

Now he was able to control his thoughts, movements, and even decisions better, making sure that he thought everything through.

Just like now!

He wasn't going to portray paradise to her as it would be useless, he would just say the rock-solid truth, without adding or removing anything.

The beautiful assassin seemed to be thinking for a while before she finally accepted her fate and started saying everything she knew!

The general idea about it was that it wasn't for her that the Assassin Tower had bent the knee in this case, but for one of the guys on the deathbed.

Apparently, he was the biological son of one of the Three Leaders of the Assassin Tower, and also the grandson of another one.

Things were pretty complicated but the more they were like that the better it was for Eric, as this just meant he was going to have a better bargaining chip than he thought.

It was a good thing that he didn't get rid of them fully before. If it were the hot blooded himself of before he would have certainly killed them in a gruesome way, just to send a message.

Of course, this didn't mean that he wasn't going to do the same thing later, but he was going to do that when he had everything cleared out for himself.

A lot of the information he got had to do with what Assassin Tower, their buildup, forces, and also most of their notorious missions, but it didn't really matter much to him at the moment.

Assassin Tower was too far, and too unnecessary for him at the moment.

What Eric and his Nightless City lacked the most at the moment were people!

While the City still had a population of a few tens of thousands, it was still not enough for Eric to have a stronghold, not in this small place they were more than enough for that.

No!

Eric was looking towards a vaster and bigger world, a world outside of the small cage he was trapped at the moment.

In this small cage he only had to face some dogs and cats, but out there were all kinds on monsters and bastards, and he needed to have enough power to stand for himself.

Those were plans for the future though, as right now he had more important things and steps to think about.

"Now that the storytelling is over, its time we continue with what we were doing beauties!

You are included as well pretending Little Princess!"

With that said, the atmosphere changed immediately, as the smell of the aphrodisiac once again conquered the whole place.

The Little Princess had managed to regain her conscience a few moments ago, but she couldn't believe her condition and her memories.

She couldn't believe that she had done all that previously!

In order to not face the truth in front of her she decided on the easiest way out, pretending to still be asleep and not stand up.

While Eric would love to see how that little plan of hers would work out, he had had enough of games for the night, now he just wanted to enjoy as much as he could.

It was a bit difficult at first for the Little Princess and everyone else to get in the mood, but the aphrodisiac took care of that, and they were on their knees in but a few moments.

…

While Eric was enjoying himself with the ladies around him, at a distant place in a really dark room, three old men were sitting in front of each other with gloomy looks.

They each had a woman in between their legs trying to please them, but none of the three seemed to pay attention to that, as they were all in deep thoughts.

"Was it okay for us to give in like that!? Wouldn't that make that boy think that he has something on his hands, and that he can squeeze us dry!?"

"You cheap slu*t!!!"
