The Legacy System

Hearing that arrogant tone, and those words, Secretary Zhang's face went completely dark and gloomy as he couldn't help but believe that this guy truly had a donkey's brain inside his scalp.

Not only had he already signed up for his own death, but he was even thinking of actually acting high and might in front of the Grim Reapers Society that was none other than Cui Xie and Eric.

If there was any chance or possibility of him ever surviving the current situation, it was fully dusted and destroyed at this moment.

He was a dead man walking and nothing more!

Young Master Cui Xie didn't even raise his head to have a look at the guy, while he was fully concentrated on taking that dragon statue for Eric.

As for Eric, he pretended to not have heard anything, as he just returned his attention to the pieces of fruits that Li Yao and her big sister were serving him.

Each of them seemed to be competing who would feed him the most, as he enjoyed eating left and right while taking some small advantages every now and then.

The poor manager was truly startled upon noticing that his entrance didn't have the attention he expected and couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong.

What made him feel even more puzzled was the look and attitude of his 'cousin' who looked like he was bootlicking Young Master Cui Xie and that other mysterious guy.

Still, he didn't give up on his intentions and ploys, as he started screaming even louder to gather more attention,

"Cui Xie how dare you to use your Cui Family to pressure and threaten my Cousin when all he did was face you about your black money!?

I have already called the cops, and they will be here anytime soon!"

Secretary Zhang couldn't believe his ears, was this guy so stupid that he didn't understand the situation and the powers of the world.

Since the current Director of the Auction House, and even he himself had to lower his head and bow to Cui Xie and the mysterious guy, then how did he dare to plot against them.

Was he that stupid or was he just that impatient to die without a full body!? No matter which part it was, the fact remained that he was going to suffer a lot.

The problem was that the attitude of that bastard wasn't only submerging himself in shit but was even making him lose points in face of Cui Xie and the mysterious guy.

He also understood that this was Cui Xie's and Eric's test for him to show his standing and intent of cooperating. For that reason, neither of them was getting involved in the situation.

With those thoughts in mind, he finally made his decision, steeled his heart and determination, as he approached the idiot with slow but steady steps, and without wasting time landed a punch on his stomach.

"You bastard, what the fu*ck do you think you are doing!? Who gave you the balls and guts to disrupt the calm of Young Master Cui Xie and his guest!?

Who the fu*ck gave you the balls to even think of plotting against them, and even call the police here!?

Are you that much tired of living!?"

"Cousin you…"

"You motherfu*cker, if it weren't for that bi*tch you have married to have given herself to me, I would have never given you such an opportunity!

But instead of valuing this opportunity, you stupid motherfu*cker went ahead and started making trouble with people you shouldn't.

Thinking that you are a smart shit when you are nothing more than a fu*cking retard who isn't worth even a few coins anymore."

The face of Manager Sun became uglier with each passing moment. He felt as if the sky had suddenly fallen right above his head, and it was going to crush him like an ant.

He didn't care about Cui Xie anymore, as his opponent, enemy, and archenemy became none other than the person he held in high regard, his cousin Secretary Zhang.

As for Secretary Zhang himself, he was truly a careful and detailed person, as there was no chance that he would leave loose ends while dealing with important issues.

With those thoughts in his mind, he didn't waste time, as he landed another punch on the idiotic manager's stomach, and then took the glass of wine from the table and stuffed it inside his mouth.

The poor manager couldn't believe how the hell the situation had turned like this, and the only thing he could do now was to have one last look of rage, fury, and unwillingness at the face of Secretary Zhang.

Neither Cui Xie nor Eric had any reaction to whatever happened, the only one that reacted a bit overboard was the beautiful waitress that had been serving the room.

She couldn't believe her eyes, and even less the situation. She would have never thought that people would actually act against their own people for their personal interests.

This could be counted as her first and real confrontation with human greedy nature for personal benefits.

"Secretary Zhang I will have to trouble you to deal with those cops that have been called here! I don't think that it's in your Auction House's interests to have your clients money checked, don't you think!?"

As the situation seemed close to a funeral, even though it wasn't that far since the Manager had already died, Cui Xie voiced his words without much emotion behind them.

"Of course partner, I know what to do!"

Hearing that line Cui Xie couldn't help but turn his head and take a good look at Secretary Zhang before he showed a slight smile and said,

"Then I will be counting on you partner!"

Now it was Secretary Zhang's turn to become extremely happy as he heard those words, but then he was reminded of something important and said,

"What about her partner!?"

As he said that, he turned his attention towards the waitress on the corner, who immediately felt a chill running down his back.

She felt like the Grim Reaper was standing right in front of her and the slightest movement would end up with her breath stopping and she would die.

"You don't have to worry about her, from now on she will be my responsibility! I will make sure that she never opens her mouth about this issue!"

While even Cui Xie was put in a tough spot, Eric actually took the initiative to state these words, shocking the people around him.

Even the beautiful waitress was shocked hearing those words, as she felt that this masked guy would only use her for his own carnal desires, and then kill and throw her body into some corner.

But she didn't have much of a choice or opportunity. She could only accept her terrible fate, in hopes that it didn't implicate her close people.

She had neither the money, nor strength to resist, and even more so when she had already become the witness of a death.

In her eyes, Secretary Zhang was even more of a demon than the masked guy could be, as this guy even went as far as to kill his own people.

Secretary Zhang was quite shocked himself, as he was thinking of having his fun with this waitress and then killing her, but he didn't dare displease this mysterious guest, as he said,

"As you wish Esteemed Partner!"

With that said he turned towards the door and left towards the entrance of the Auction House, as he had to deal with the police.

…

The moment that Secretary Zhang left the VIP room, Cui Xie looked toward Eric with a strange gaze as he said,

"Master I don't understand, what are you planning to do with her!? Wouldn't it be easier to let that bastard deal with this issue!?"

"Your eyes are too blind little Xie, while this beauty doesn't seem more than a pretty face, she is in fact a very good seedling!

With a bit of training, I am sure that she will reach and surpass you in a short time!"

"What!?"

It wasn't only Cui Xie who was shocked, but even the two beauties servicing him. After all, they were supposed to be even more accomplished than him, and yet they were unable to see that in her.

As for Eric he just closed his eyes, and said with a cool and calm tone towards the beauty,

"I don't care whether you believe me or not, but as long as you obey and do as I say, I will not treat you bad, and will also protect you and your close people!

Should you try to betray or disobey me, let's just say that the end will be very distasteful for both of us!"

"I…"

"I don't expect an answer, because you don't have a choice! I am just stating a fact, you better understand your position and your situation as soon as possible.

Like that, we will be able to have a smooth sailing relationship!"

It didn't matter whether the beautiful waitress liked this situation or not, it was already decided for her, and she didn't have any right of opinion.

With that out of the way, and with Cui Xie securing the Dragon Statue, Eric could finally lie back and enjoy the remaining part of the Auction, as it was time for his pills to be sold.

A big reason why he dared to buy so many things tonight was because he had a great belief in the sale income of these pills, and it looked like now was the moment of truth…
