The Legacy System

The four people in front of Eric were stupefied by his words, and the clue, as it seemed like he was just fucking around with them.

What kind of clue was that? There were more than 126 million people in Japan, and around half of them were males, making it into around 63 million possibilities.

Thinking only Tokyo wise, there were around 14 million people, which would mean that there were around 7 million possibilities on who he could be, and that was considering he was from Tokyo.

While the number of possibilities it ruled was really high, the clue was just too general and it gave no real help to them.

It was like looking to find a special thread of hay, in a haystack, it was practically impossible to find. The chances were zero no matter how one looked at it.

Hearing that, Katsuto Daichi couldn't control himself, as he thought that this masked fooker was just playing around with them, as he almost shouted,

"The hell, are you trying to make fun of us!?"

Who could blame him, he was already so invested in this, that hearing that clue made him lose his mind, and not even consider who he was facing with.

This game was for 2 million $ after all, a sum that he had only heard and seen on TV and in his dreams at night.

Eric already expected such a reaction, as this was his purpose, to begin with, he wanted to play, and fuck around these guys the most he could.

He wanted them to torture themselves, physically, mentally, and spiritually. He wanted to get back on them at least 10 times what they had made him go through.

With these thoughts in his mind, he made a sign for Daisuke who seemed to be angry and want to give a good beating to the guy who just shouted, as he said,

"Well this game is about 2 fooking million $ my friend, you surely wouldn't think that I will give this money to you so easily, would you?

I don't think you are that stupid, please don't make me change my opinion!"

His words were like cold water thrown over them, as what he said made a lot of sense, they were playing for 2 million $ which wasn't a small sum.

Katsuto Daichi could say nothing more, but sit down defeated on his chair, as he was finally hit with the realization that this wasn't going to be simple.

The other three were in the same conditions, as the stingy owner seemed to be the one in deeper thoughts, to solve the identity of this masked person in front of them.

If one thought carefully, Eric was accompanied here by the Yakuza men, and they were calling him Master, so he was surely one of the higher-ups of the organization.

The problem though stood at the fact that none of those higher-ups were as young as he seemed to be. So, most probably he was some kind of genius and important Young Master.

There were a few names coming through their heads at the moment, but none of them dared to waste his first free try with such a general clue.

Considering all their options, there was only one thing they could do, and that was to ask for another clue, even though they were all weary of the price, and the kind of clue they would get.

As they all thought like that, Katsuto Daichi made a sign to the silent tyrannical b*tch to open the discussion, as he was clearly trying to sway Eric with her.

Taking her cue, the tyrannical bi*ch seemed a bit dissatisfied, as it looked like she had never expected something like this from him, but considering the bigger picture, she decided to not fuse over it.

She just looked at Eric with battling eyelids, as she said in a soft, and warm voice,

"Esteemed Mister, I would wonder if we could ask for another clue, as it is impossible for us to solve your identity with only this clue!"

Eric had never thought that seeing this tyrannical bi*ch act like that in front of him would be so disgusting, and unpleasing to the eye, as he had to control himself not to vomit right then and there.

Still, his mask helped him better conceal that disgust he felt, as he looked at her with some lusty eyes, and said,

"Miss I would suggest you to not provoke my lust because if you do you will surely suffer for it. As for the clue, what do you offer me in exchange for it?"

His warning made the tyrannical bi*tch seethe in anger, as she already was doing this against her wish, and in front of her parents, and this guy was bringing that in the light so easily, disdaining it.

But the stakes were too high, she couldn't explode on him for that, as there were 2 million $ in question, and she wasn't the only one participating.

On the other hand, Eric was just looking at her with amusement, if she thought that this was the worst that she was going to suffer, and took the fire so easily, then she was in for a treat tonight.

Still, he was just observing at the four in front of him, that was still racking their brains to think of something they had to offer.

There was nothing coming to their mind, as the only thing they could think at the moment was most probably related to the two ladies at the table.

Thinking like this, Katsuto Daichi couldn't come up with any good idea, as he just said,

"Esteemed Master, we don't have any good idea, why don't you suggest something, in order for a good clue, and we will go with that!"

He was trying to make amends for what he did earlier, and at the same time see what was the general disposition and thoughts that the masked person had.

Eric could easily understand his intentions, but he already knew that there was no way they were going to find his identity, because none of the four would ever consider him.

The most troubling matter for him at the moment was to think of a good way to start this beautiful and eventful night.

He couldn't be careless and make them give up easily, but at the same time, he didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity.

After a bit of consideration to himself, he finally came to a decision as he said,

"Well since you are giving me such an honor, then I won't be courteous!

A slap!

A slap through your own faces is enough to make you eligible for the next clue, and the continuation of the game.

But be careful though, because if you don't do it properly then you will be punished! If you don't accept the punishment and decide to leave the game then the game is over for all of you.

What I mean is that you either play all four to the end or give up midway because one decided to leave the game!"

The four in front of him were startled at what they heard, as this was a truly bizarre way to play a game, but a slap wasn't too much, especially when it was about 2 million $.

As for the rest of his words, they just didn't pay much attention to it, as the way they saw it, none of them would give up on this game, with the price offered.

Even though it was a bit humiliating, the end justified the means, so the two men immediately sent a good slap through their own faces, as the two ladies were in a bit of discomfort, and hesitation.

They were ladies at the end of the day, and a good slap through their faces would totally ruin their face and beauty.

As the two gentlemen were waiting for the next clue, Eric was waiting for the two ladies to hold on to their part of the deal.

There was no movement for a few moments, as finally, Eric said with a calm and emotionless voice,

"As I said, ladies, you either play all 4 to the end, or you just abandon the game all 4! All to win, all to lose!"

Only now could the ladies make sense of the rules, but they couldn't quite reject, or refuse them, as this was his game.

As for giving up, that was even more out of the question, like two angry pairs of eyes, were looking at them like they were ready to kill them if they didn't agree.

They were at a big crossroads, and either way was disadvantageous to them. They were just looking each other in the eye, as they still couldn't decide.

They were trying to gain some courage, an incentive from the other, but both of them could only find hesitation and indecision.

Even though there were 2 million $ in the game, there was still hesitation. Were 2 million $ enough to pay for their face worth, and their beauty?

They were certainly in a big doubt, but the more they took to act, the scarier, and dangerous those looks on their heads became.

In fact, it felt like they were about to pierce their heads through and through, still, they were undecided.

Seeing that they weren't able to take a decision for themselves, Eric was getting bored, as he said in an impatient voice,

"I really don't like repeating myself here guys. Since the ladies are unable to decide, I can let the gentlemen help them with their decision!"

The two men seemed to have received grace from God, as they immediately turned to them, ready to slap the two ladies across their faces…
