The Legacy System

Besides that guy leaving the place with clear anger, hate, rage, and revenge intentions, all the others were happy and surprised with the results they got today.

They had probably never thought that today they would reap such benefits, who would ever think that someone would ever accept such a challenge.

What everyone was thinking right now though was the fact that they were already starting the race while being on advantage.

After all, what kind of woman would have a favorable impression of her beloved placing her as the stake of a bet.

Takeshiba Aika would most certainly doubt her selection, and Eric's love for her, as she would also be really confused.

In this muddled water, all these guys would start fighting for her hand, as each and every one of them would have their own ideas, and offers for her.

Certainly, one of them would be able to grab her heart, or body using all the means possible on their hands.

One thing was for sure though, none of them would ever give up, and leave her in Eric's hands. In their eyes, this idiot had lost the moment he accepted the challenge.

The real question right now, was who would be the lucky guy who would be able to profit from this challenge, as Takeshiba Aika was in the second position, the first thing was clearly the money collected.

Eric had already placed the time limit of one week for the people who wanted to participate in the challenge, but one day was more than enough for all the Young Masters to make a decision.

The reason why Eric had instead said one week, was for something that nobody had even thought about it until it would happen.

Outside intervention!

Eric was more than 80% sure that the foreigners wouldn't give up on this opportunity, it was a big chance for them to set a stable foot on Japan, and no one would want to miss that.

In fact, most of those guys already had their foot, or fingers set inside the country, otherwise, the attempts at his life, or the kidnapping attempt would have never happened.

But it was just like that expression said, no one would mind a bit more coal in a cold ass winter, so they would surely participate in this.

The prize amount would surely increase by a lot, as even he couldn't predict what the final amount would be.

When everyone was left, there were only Eric, Master Takeshiba, and their entourage in the pre-office. Master Takeshiba let out a sigh, as he said,

"Son-in-law while I know that you younglings have short tempers, and hot blood, I think that you made a mistake by taking that challenge.

I am sure you wouldn't have suffered much if you had just refused it. After all, lowering your head once in a while it's good for your future!"

This guy was a slick and sly fox for sure. Even now, he was making it seem like all this was Eric's fault, and it was his rushed decision that had brought upon him such a situation.

But Eric didn't mind, in fact, this was a perfect chance for him, not only to rack some money but also to justify his deals with the other families.

With these thoughts in mind, he said with a confident look,

"Don't worry father-in-law I am confident that I will be able to win this challenge, and rack up some money while I am at it!"

Master Takeshiba hadn't thought much about this side of the deal at the moment, but right now he was hit by the sudden realization of just how much money would be in play.

After all, the bare limit minimum was 1 billion dollars, and that was by no means a low figure. Even the big families only had about 10 to 20 billion dollars on their accounts.

The one who won this game would most certainly make enough money to become at least a second-rate family, and if the participation was good enough they would reach even a first-rate family or big family.

Most of these families had worked for generations in order to reach for the top, while Eric was planning a challenge that would make that happen in but a night.

With this insight, he wouldn't be able to help any of the other families' contestants, as that would mean empowering the enemies.

So, his only choice was Eric, or better yet, his own seed in the challenge. It would be a bit tricky as he would have to find 1 billion dollars out of his bank accounts, but he was sure to win this.

Eric was delusional if he thought that he would be able to account for his daughter's love for him to win this challenge, as he was her father, and she was totally under his wish and order.

Right now, he was so happy, that he wanted to kiss Eric for creating such a great opportunity for him.

While he was still a bit dissatisfied with the fact that he would have to share the profit, and the benefits of the potions with the other families, he had already made his preparations.

More than a few laboratories, and production factories had been set up not only in Japan but all over Earth in secret, and he was assured that his production would be much better than the others.

While even the others would most probably think the same as him, he was in advantage as he had already started producing them.

Eric, on the other hand, could almost feel like he could read his father-in-law's thoughts about the challenge but decided to not show it and change the topic.

"With that said father-in-law, I must say that I have bad news to tell you!"

Eric's sudden and serious voice woke up Master Takeshiba from his dream, as he looked at him, and asked with a fake confused face,

"Really!? Like what son-in-law!?"

"Well other families have started to approach me about the potion's formulae, and while I didn't want to give it to them, I was unable to refuse them!"

Master Takeshiba pretended to be even more surprised, angry, and a bit enraged, as he almost shouted at Eric,

"What do you mean, my good son-in-law, are you trying to break our deal!?"

"Well, it wasn't my intention father-in-law, it's just that my Master has recuperated even better than I thought, as he seemed to know all about my situation, and told me to accept.

According to him, the reason we came here was to strengthen the powerhouses living in society, in order for us to have a better chance at facing the approaching catastrophe.

So, he completely overruled my idea of giving the formulae only to you and the Takeshiba family!

But worry not father-in-law, since I have already made a deal with you, my Master agreed to recompense you in another way.

Master said that he is willing to take Aika-chan, and 10 geniuses of the Takeshiba family for training, while the other families could only send 5!

Master said that he assures to return them all at least at High Heaven Realm in two years' time!"

Eric spoke for a long time, and his words contained a lot of special information that made Master Takeshiba unable to process everything right away.

Setting aside the fact that the deal was broken, Eric just told him that his Master would return soon. He was still injured, but his recuperation was faster than thought.

Furthermore, that mysterious Master was thinking of receiving 5 geniuses from each family in order to train, and cultivate them.

Not only that but he assured that they would be at least High Heaven Realm when they returned in just two years' time.

High Heaven Realm was the human notation about people reaching level 90 and above in systems measurements.

One had to know that according to what Eric had seen all this time, even the best geniuses that the big families had to offer, were only level 20-25.

Eric was saying that his Master would help these guys level up more than 65 times in the short time of only 2 years.

Or in the eyes of someone like Master Takeshiba was 6 big realms in just two years, which was certainly crazy and impossible in his eyes.

Just how strong was this guy, and what other methods and resources did he had available to be able to make it happen.

On Earth whoever was in the High Heaven Realm was considered to be already close to the peak, and were deemed as powerhouses, treated with respect and fear wherever they stepped.

But now there was someone who declared that they were able to train and cultivate more than 35+ disciples into powerhouses, in just two years' time, like they were some fu*cking cabbages.

How could he keep his calm, and his face at this moment!? It was completely out of his imagination and knowledge.

He had always thought that he was a rather knowledgeable person, but right now he seemed like nothing more than a frog at the bottom of the well.

He knew he had to meet this Master that his son-in-law had, and if possible try to have him on his side, unfortunately, his dream was broken to pieces in but an instant,

"My Master said that he doesn't like being involved in the games of the secular world. Whoever tried to pull him into such a game, its name and everything would be extinguished from history!"

Who would dare to bother such a Master once those words were said, no matter how big and tempting greed was, in face of total fear it was unmovable…
