The Legacy System

He had just thought that it would be extremely difficult for him to make Ice take his side, and that most probably he would have to keep her against her wish, no matter what.

But now it seemed like the Heavens were helping him and had almost solved the biggest problem for that to happen.

He would have never thought that something like this would be possible, but thinking a bit more, the mother of a guy who raised snakes was bound to be nothing good either.

At that moment he felt like he was ready to forgive the snake guy for all the trouble he had caused to him until now and let him live on for a bit longer.

Too bad that it was just a fleeting thought though, as the next moment it completely dispersed, and he decided on a new way of torture.

This snake guy was just like the snakes he trained untrustworthy, venomous, and despicable, there was no way Eric would allow him to live on or have a quick and peaceful death.

Surely the favor he did to him was extremely precious, and almost unbelievably good, but that didn't change his character, or the fact that he was a despicable scum.

With those thoughts on his mind, an evil grin appeared on Eric's face, but since it was dark in the tunnel no one could see it, as he suddenly gave an order to the puppets.

He picked up Ice in his arms and started walking towards the entrance of the tunnel, while the puppets carried Da Gui.

Ice was still too shocked to react at this moment, as even though she was naked on Eric's arms she didn't try to hide her body, or even think of being shy and embarrassed.

Her very core had been shocked at that moment, and the fact that her naked body was on Eric's arms didn't seem to matter much.

Not to mention that Eric had already explored every nook and cranny of her body, and there was nothing that he hadn't touched or seen, so it was useless to try and hide herself and her body now.

Differently from her though, Da Gui seemed to be extremely nervous and afraid when he felt some stone, and metallic puppets suddenly pick him up, and transport him someplace.

Until now he had acted extremely cold-blooded, and collected, but when he truly thought that he was going to die, he couldn't help but get extremely afraid.

"Where are you taking me!?...

Just kill me already!...

What are you going to do to me!?..."

In no time he started screaming like a pig who was about to get butchered, but unfortunately there was no answer to his screaming.

Even the cold beauty in Eric's arms seemed unable to hear his screams, and shouts, as she still couldn't believe the words she had heard earlier.

Since Eric hadn't entered deep inside the tunnel, it didn't take him long to reach the entrance of it, as he handed over a few lighted torches to his puppets, and immediately create a lighted room.

The sudden change startled not only the snake guy who was being transported by the puppets, but also Ice who seemed to break from her frozen statue for a moment.

The most affected one though was clearly the snakes guy behind, who thought that the suddenly light had come from him actually dying as he started screaming,

"Nooo~! I don't want to die! I am too fu*cking young to die! I don't want to lose my life like this!"

It wasn't only his screams, really soon he started crying, as snoot was freefalling from his nose, and a path of wetness appeared on his trousers, and a sour smell of stench came out from behind him.

Not only had this guy wet his pants, but he had even gone as far as to shit his pants from fear! The change was just too big for anyone to be able to bear.

Even Eric was extremely disgusted by this piece of crap and thought that he would just dirty his hands if he killed this guy.

He even felt disgusted to continue with his torturing program, but then he decided to go on with it no matter what.

Eric was no saint, but he was no devil either. His motto in life was quite simple actually, repay goodwill with benevolence, and repay ill will with malice.

Until now the people who had shown goodwill to him were almost non-existent, as they didn't think that he deserved their goodwill.

Yes, even if one wanted to have the goodwill of others he had to deserve it, in order to get it. No person would show goodwill towards a waste, or a useless idiot.

While the number of the people showing ill will to him was increasing by day. This snake guy was one of them.

Not only was he a trash who bullied the weak and feared the strong, but he was also someone that wanted to kill Eric in the most painful ways possible.

And if that wasn't enough not long ago he even had the guts to say that Eric and he couldn't continue leaving under the same sky, and that he would wait for him to show him a good time in Hell.

Forgetting about all his previous actions, just these last words of his were enough to make Eric feel like the play he was about to enact was more than necessary for that piece of trash.

With those thoughts in his mind, he ordered the puppets to walk a bit away from him, at a distance from where he couldn't feel the bad smell, and then sit him down on his butt.

Da Gui had already understood that he hadn't died yet, and that he had lost all face in what happened earlier, but he got even more afraid when he saw the bodies, faces, and actions of the puppets.

Despite being a fighter, or a cultivator, or whatever he was, this was the first time that he actually saw soulless beings like these Stone and Metallic puppets move around and obey orders.

Even if he didn't hear Eric say anything, or sound any order, he still knew that these puppets were obeying him. That made him even more scared of Eric, as even his mother didn't have something like this.

For the first time since encountering Eric, he finally started to think that perhaps Eric was someone from a big power. Only that would explain everything had happened until now.

Thinking up to here, he finally threw away his arrogance, and temper, as he clearly lowered the pitch of his voice, as he said,

"Young brother, do we truly have to do something like this? Neither me nor you want to die, so how about we bury our hatchet here, and you let me go.

You can keep that bit-woman, you can make her your maid or slave whatever you want. I will even make mother agree to give her to you.

She won't disobey my mother's word!

Furthermore, I promise to never cross your path again, and I will never tell any soul about what happened here!"

When herself was mentioned Ice immediately seemed to have regained a bit of clarity, but the next moment her face turned even uglier as she heard those words.

She didn't believe it, or to be more exact she didn't want to believe it that the person she had thought as her family would be someone like that.

But the more she heard, the more she seemed to get convinced of that fact. Slowly she was being eaten inside, as she had lost one of the most important things that kept her moving ahead.

Even though she had started to create her own path, she still considered her Master as her family, and made her an important piece of her path.

Now she had been bluntly awakened from her dream, as she understood that the person she considered family was actually nothing like that, and it was becoming her enemy.

Eric heard all those words, and noticed the expression on Ice's face, and couldn't be happier. That idiot was slowly destroying every connection that Ice had with his mother.

He didn't understand the importance, or the potential of Ice, and even thought of her as nothing more than a cheap slu*t which clearly made Eric's job easier for the future.

But just because he allowed him to talk didn't mean that he had any intention of reasoning with him, or reaching an agreement with him, as he said,

"Elder brother, I thought that my father was quite the loyal husband to my mother, I would have never expected that he had a fling with you mother!

At the same time though, I can't help but be amazed by his skills, and potential! Hhahaha~!"

Since Eric's voice, and tone were extremely natural, calm, and even with a tinge of surprise, and solemnity Da Gui was hearing him attentively.

But when he finally made sense of those words, his face became even uglier than it already was, as blood gushed on his face wanting to explode out of it, showing his enrage.

If there was a person that Da Gui truly loved and respected that was his mother. She had raised him by herself, she spoiled him, and always gave him whatever he asked.

So, when he understood what Eric meant, Da Gui immediately forgot his fear, and lose of face, as he screamed enraged,

"Bastard, don't go too far~!"

On the other hand, Eric seemed like he didn't hear Da Gui's scream and then said with a teasing grin,

"Enjoy the show brother!"
