The Legacy System

"What!?"

"This junior is truly touched by your righteousness and decision, understand he couldn't make you bend your morals and thoughts through the power and empty death threats!

So I am letting you die by killing yourself!

Please do continue!"

"This… I…"

The poor Elder couldn't believe his ears at this moment, he had never thought that the situation would resolve like this.

Wasn't it common sense that Cui Xie would only value him more the more he refused to get on his side, and give him even more benefits to try and get him on his camp?

How was it possible that not only wouldn't he care about that, but he would even act so nonchalant and undisturbed as he asked him to suicide?

"You don't have to thank me, Elder, in fact, it should be me thanking you for showing this junior the indomitable and warrior spirit of the Cui Family!

It seems like my Cui Family isn't comprised of only greedy and heinous bastards, there are real men in the family!"

The poor Elder lost all color and composure as he immediately launched from his spot towards Cui Xie. It wasn't for trying to kill him though but landed right in front of his feet to kneel in front of him.

"Young Master Cui Xie I am truly ashamed and sorry for my greed and nonsensical words, please forget everything I said!

Please!

I don't want to die!"

"Hehehe~! Weren't you so stubborn and righteous a moment ago, seeking a death with honor!? Then why are you changing your mind so suddenly!?"

"Please forgive me Young Master Cui Xie, my old and befuddled head couldn't help but get greedy, please forgive me and spare my life!

I will do everything for you, just as you tell me to! I will help you do whatever you want me to do, I will even become your servant and your slave if I have to!

Just please spare my life!"

"You know, I am not angry at your for being greedy, after all, every human being is greedy, and in order to live a better life they have to be greedy and seek for more!

What I don't like is that you don't seem to understand the boundaries of your greed! You should have been satisfied with the first benefit.

Whoever can't control their greed, they are bound to attract anger and rage, forcing them to cough up blood, and die!"

With that said Cui Xie didn't give the poor Elder another shot to plead for his life, and with a snap of his fingers the poor guy ended up just like the previous two.

The elders that had managed to stay alive couldn't help but look at this situation in fear, as they had just witnessed Cui Xie's decisiveness and ruthlessness.

"With that guy dead, there is only one of you that needs to die now, do we have any volunteers!?"

"Young Master Cui Xie we are willing to serve you with our lives, please don't kill us!" x4

All four of them seemed to be on the same line of thought, and even more so on the same line of sound.

"Hehehe~! Very well since that is the case I will give you all a new chance to live, but don't blame me if you don't know what's good for you, now let's go back home!

We have some accounts to settle and clear!"

Cui Xie didn't need to mention what accounts, as it was clearly the Cui Family's backstabbing towards their group of people.

It seemed like the Cui Family truly wanted him dead, and they didn't have much of a problem losing a few Elders to reach that.

But if they thought that he would die this easily, then they better not sleep at night as nightmares were bound to disrupt their sleep.

…

While the Cui Family was returning home, the main producer and executive of the show at the Li Family returned back to have a look.

He had waited for quite some time to return back here after these idiots had actually completely drained each other of their energy.

The clam and the snipe had fought each other to death and had gravely injured each other, with a few of their Elders dead, and most of them injured heavily.

Including the two leading Elders who were on the brink of death due to the poison. If they hadn't fought like this, the poison could still be restrained from their energy.

But after their fight, it was already a miracle that they hadn't died yet, as there was no more energy in their bodies, and they could only die an unwilled death.

Of course, Eric's appearance immediately placed both of them on high alert, but even then they were just too weak to fight back.

Most of the people that were part of the banquet had run outside despite the fact that their lives were close to their end, as they were all poisoned.

Still, a later death was a great win for them, as to avoid dying in the battle they escaped and run away.

"You… You devil!"

"Come on Elder Ling I don't think that you should call me that when you hired me to do all this! After all, these bastards are about to die, but you are able to live as long as I give you my antidote.

"What!? Who hired yo…"

Unfortunately, Eric didn't give the guy a chance to explain himself, before he stuffed an antidote pill in his mouth before he started drawing some symbols on his forehead.

"You… What are you doing, why are you doing this!?"

"Nothing much Elder Ling, just giving my employer and benefactor the right return for his payment!"

"What the hell are you talking about, you better stop spouting crap, otherwise my Ling Family will never let you off!"

"Hai, hai, Master Ling! Don't worry, everything will happen just like planned!"

With that out of the way, Eric quickly knocked Elder Ling out, before he turned toward Elder Gui of the Cao Family.

"What do you want to do!?"

"Huh!? What do you mean!?"

"Do you want to live or die!?"

"Live of course!"

"Very well then how much are you willing to pay so that you can survive?"

"What!? But didn't the Ling Family pay you to kill us all!?"

"They did, but how could a poor scraper like me be able to live with that small amount of money. I am a true man who works with who pays most!

Of course, as long as it doesn't return me to the enemy of my current employer!"

"Hehe~! Do you think that saving me won't make you an enemy of the Ling Family!? I am sure that they must have paid you quite a bit to do this right!?

You expect to spoil their plans and survive them?"

"Well, they shouldn't move against me as long as they don't know you are alive! And if matters come to worse I can just enter your Cao Family for protection.

Don't tell me that Elder Gui is going to forsake his benefactor!?"

"This…"

"You don't have much time to think about it, if you don't want to die you need to make a choice in less than a minute I am afraid."

One minute passed by very quickly, and seeing that the poison was close to taking his life, Elder Gui immediately made his choice,

"Very well, save me!"

"Hehehe~! I knew that Master Gui is a man of resolve and determination!"

With that said, he approached Elder Gui and immediately threw an antidote pill into his mouth, before he got behind him and tried to help him refine the medicinal pill.

Elder Gui was waiting for the opportune moment to get relieved of his pain and suffering, to deal a deadly strike upon Eric.

Because no matter what, Eric was the guilty party for turning him, his brothers, and his Young Master into this situation.

As if all that wasn't enough, their Young Master had died! How could they return to their Family with this news!? They had no face left anymore!

In these moments, emotions, and feelings though he seemed to have actually disregarded the fact that Eric hadn't requested the money before he started the treatment.

The antidote pill seemed to be working and the poison inside his body was being restrained and curated, and he was slowly recovering.

The moment that he felt that his body had recovered enough for him to kill Eric and survive the poison, he didn't hesitate to actually try and send a deadly palm toward Eric's chest.

Unfortunately, something was extremely wrong in this situation, as he found out that not only he couldn't activate his energy to attack, but not even his body was listening to him.

His hand didn't seem to stand up and move according to his will. Not only that but he didn't sense any reaction from any part of his body.

"Hehehe~! Elder Gui don't tell me that you think you are slyer and smarter than this Young Master! After all, demons are born from the young generation!"

Eric's cold and cool voice made the poor old man shiver a bit, but even in this situation, he wasn't able to properly do that, as his body seemed to be completely out of control.

On the other hand, Eric just stood up and came in front of him drawing the same bloody symbols on his forehead that he drew for that Elder Ling.

Then without delay, he quickly had them act a beautiful show, before he disappeared from the spot…
