The Legacy System

Eric's words clearly stunned the crowd once again, it seemed like today was the night of shocking news. There were a forbidden love story and even kidnapping.

It was only then, that a few journalists were able to remember that shocking news of a romantic love story between the Takeshiba's family little princess, and an unknown kid.

​​

But this time wasn't only the crowd but even Uncle Satoru, who couldn't get a hold of the situation anymore. Who could blame him, the story was getting more and more complicated.

Trying to clarify the situation to himself he asked in a clear tone,

"Are you saying that you have been kidnapped beside the Takeshiba's family Young Miss and that you together were able to escape them!?"

Eric kept his anger clearly shown on his face, as he looked at the guy, and said as a matter of fact,

"Yes, we were both kidnapped, and detained from a group of people of unknown origins, who seemed to be after ransom money."

Eric was being stingy with his words, and explanation, making Uncle Satoru even more curious and confused. As he couldn't help but continue with the next question,

"I understand them kidnapping the Takeshiba's family Young Miss for ransom, but what about you!?"

Takeshiba Aika was the Young Miss of one of the biggest families in Japan, but what about Eric. He seemed to be only a poor foreign kid, with some brains, nothing more than that.

As a matter of fact, the fact of him declaring that he was the half-owner of this place was extremely weird, because normally he shouldn't be able to become one.

Eric seemed a bit unwilling to uncover his situation, but he could easily divulge what was known to the outside world, and already recorded, as he said,

"Just like the expression says Mister Policeman, 'a poor man carrying jade is already committing a crime'.

And that is precisely my crime, I am a 'poor man' carrying a lot of money. They must have found out about it when I helped Young Miss Takeshiba Aika pay the person blackmailing her."

Uncle Satoru was getting more and more confused by how this case was proceeding. After all, there were things that didn't make sense in this situation.

How was it possible that Eric was a poor man carrying a lot of money? How much money did he carry, and whose money was it?

Not to mention, that there was new information of Takeshiba Aika being blackmailed that he knew nothing about it, and from the looks of it, Takeshiba Yuto didn't know either.

Looking at Eric with a serious and solemn look on his face, Uncle Satoru asked,

"Takeshiba's family Young Miss was being blackmailed? What for, and by whom?"

Hearing that question Eric seemed to be in a little conflict with himself if he should tell him or not, but then said,

"Well, I would like to tell you, but that is Young Miss Takeshiba's personal matter, and I don't think I have the right to divulge it, so you better ask her.

Even though she might have tried to implicate me, I can't do the same thing to her!"

When he said his last words Eric looked like a disappointed lover, who was just losing his belief in love. If anyone knew the truth, they would probably think that he should get an Oscar with that acting.

Uncle Satoru seemed to become even more confused, as it seemed like Eric was now under the impression that they had been lead here by the Takeshiba family, and Takeshiba Aika.

He was looking at Eric carefully but he didn't seem like he was acting, everything seemed real and natural. So he said with a weird expression,

"How can someone who hasn't been found yet implicate you?"

Hearing those words Eric seemed clearly shaken, as he raised his voice and said,

"What are you talking about? Are you telling me, that Takeshiba Aika hasn't returned to her home yet!? That is impossible, my Dark Hall's seniors were accompanying her back to her house."

His last words were said in a whisper, but while the journalists and the media couldn't hear them, the same couldn't be said about Uncle Satoru.

That old fox heard it clearly, but he just got more confused, as he had never heard of such a thing as the Dark Hall in Japan.

Just who was this guy, and what was his status, and background. He seemed like a poor, an idiot with brains, but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Looking really crestfallen that he had just divulged a secret he should never divulge under any circumstance, Eric looked once more towards Uncle Satoru, as he said with a sigh,

"Sigh~! Can we take this conversation somewhere private? There are things that are better kept untold, for the both of us, and I will have to make a call!"

With that said he made a sign for Uncle Satoru to enter inside the restaurant and talk there, as it was more secure and quiet in there.

Uncle Satoru was clearly intrigued by what just happened, not to mention that things were getting more and more complicated, considering even the involvement of a force in the shadows.

When all things were considered, he had to go and talk to Eric one on one, the depth of this case had already surpassed the simple kidnapping of a Young Miss from a big family.

With all these considered he made a sign that he accepted Eric's invitation and started walking inside the restaurant.

As soon as he started walking, he felt that Takeshiba Yuto was following behind him, and was about to tell him to stay there, but he was interrupted by Eric.

"Let him come for a while, there are some things that he needs to know as well, I am tired of having him in my tail."

With this, he entered inside the restaurant and then towards his private box. That was the safest place inside the Fragrance Hall.

It was a place that Kirigaya had personally taken care of and cleaned it of any possible danger. Uncle Satoru and Takeshiba Yuto were directly behind him.

Taking out his phone, Eric made a call, and said with a clear voice,

Eric:" You can let her go home now!"

His words clearly stunned the duo by his side, as it seemed like he had been the one to kidnap Takeshiba Aika, and not someone else.

But at that time Eric turned towards Uncle Satoru and said,

"It was true that we were kidnapped by someone else earlier, but with the involvement of some people we were able to escape the place, and apprehend our kidnappers.

I was just holding on to her, for you to reach me. I am sure you already noticed that it wasn't a slip of tongue earlier when I said my organization's name."

Uncle Satoru was looking towards Eric with an even deeper look as if he was trying to look behind a mysterious curtain that was blocking the truth from him.

As for Young Master Takeshiba Yuto, he had just understood that nothing was making any more sense to him. He had no idea of who Eric might be, or what was his background.

Not caring at all about the looks he was receiving, Eric continued with his speech,

"Well then gentlemen, let me introduce myself before we begin talking more, I am Eric Jade, a representative of the Dark Hall secret organization in Japan.

Don't bother asking why you haven't heard about it, there would be no meaning to the word 'secret' if you had, wouldn't it?"

His words baffled the duo who was about to ask that precise question, recomposing himself quickly, Uncle Satoru immediately asked the important question,

"What is your goal here in Japan, and why did you decide to surface now of all times!"

Looking towards Uncle Satoru with an appreciative look, Eric said with a light smile on his face,

"You seem to be more intelligent than I thought old man, this will make things easier from now on.

Well then let me give you the long story short, our organization is one of deep, and abnormal origins. You can relate to us, like those cultivators from Mountain KunLun, just that our base is here in Japan.

Our goal has always been to find a way to break the shackles bounding us to this boring planet, and journey through the unlimited sky.

And we have always been in search of a way without caring about the secular world, and your meaningless fights.

But the problem is that while we were searching for our goal, we discovered something that forced us to surface to the world.

A great disaster is about to befall our planet, and to our known world, and no, it's not any prophecy or anything like that. It's information from a captive.

We have information that outsiders have already infiltrated in our midst, and pretty soon the main force will come.

I am not asking you to trust me on mere words, as pretty soon we will provide you with evidence, and witnesses, I am just saying this in advance so you could prepare yourselves.

As for how you wish to deal with this information, is up to you, and we won't meddle with that. Just let me tell you that the enemy, is strong and resourceful behind your imagination."

His words left the duo speechless, they were having a hard time processing this information, as it was something crazy and unbelievable.

They knew about the existence of the supernatural, as they were themselves supernatural beings in a sense, but the fact that there was something beyond Earth had never crossed their minds.

Not to mention that Eric was warning them about a frightful disaster happening to the planet…
