The Legacy System

"10 Million dollars are already in one of your safe accounts! I think that is enough to show you my sincerity, isn't it!?"

The Captain was felt dumbstruck at that moment, he didn't expect it. After all, just who would so easily send 10 million dollars without even reaching an agreement at first.

This meant that he had no other option but to accept the deal truthfully, otherwise he would lose more than just this opportunity of 10 million dollars.

Eric wasn't joking when he said that he had bought this guys life, he had truly done so. Even if he decided to kill him here and now, there would be no repercussion whatsoever upon him.

Everything was taken care of, and the only thing was for the Captain to accept the deal and start working together with him.

This was a great opportunity that he had no plan of letting go. The one thing he lacked the most right now were human resources, and these war-stricken places were a gold mine of such resources.

Especially countries like this one, Libya, that not long ago had been a calm, wealthy, and productive country.

In any group of these guys trying to leave the city one could find a doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, an economist, or any other profession.

The lowest layer either didn't have the necessary money to take such a dangerous way, or wanted to meddle with the situation in the country, or were being used by the militia, or military as cannon fodder.

Either way, Eric felt that he couldn't allow such a gold mine to escape his grasp when he needed it the most.

As he was planning to not only send these guys to his islands, but also to help them settle in different countries around the world.

Those who were unable to train, or learn fighting would be sent to the other countries, and helped to settle there, as sleeping cells of information.

Eric was planning to set up a worldwide information network, because no matter the era, always the one who has the exact and complete information on the enemy wins the fight.

Especially in the time he was living, where information was the key to any deal, and any connection. As long as one had the necessary information, they could make even the President give a hand.

For example, the only reason that Eric was still alive up to this day, and wasn't killed from the Council of Five was because he had the necessary information about their identities.

Certainly, his made-up story about his background was scary to everyone, but without the proper information, and push to back it up, that may as well be just like it was, inexistent.

He had read somewhere that a philosopher said, I think therefore it exists, the same thing was true in this situation, they doubted therefore it was true, as he was even giving small glimpses of the fake truth.

But that would only hold up until some point, after that he had to make sure that he had enough strength to protect himself, and those he loved.

The illusion had to become real after some time, in order to ensure his status, his position, and even his life.

For that reason, he was determined to do whatever he deemed necessary to reach his goals. Even if it meant buying people like slaves in this day and world.

Seeing that he was left with no other choice but to accept, the Captain didn't say anything more than necessary, and accepted.

After that, he and Eric drunk and celebrated for a little while longer, as the camp was preparing to move out.

It didn't take long for the ladies, and kids to get settled into the transportation vehicles, and taken away from there, leaving behind only Eric, the four ladies, and the already dying contact.

In these 1 or 2 hours that Eric had been drinking with the Captain, the 4 ladies had truly shown him a 'good' time. There was no clean spot on his body.

Entering the tent and seeing his sorry state, Eric said with a calm and natural voice,

"Were you able to get anything out of him!?"

It was the kitten turned tyrannical bi*tch who answered almost immediately,

"He said that only a small part of about 10-20% of the two earlier groups were sent like that, but certainly they included the best of the best.

The rest was transported like they should towards the destination!"

Eric was a bit startled hearing her answer, as it looked like this girl was trying everything she could to enter his good books, taking every chance that he presented to her.

Still, he was able to recollect himself easily, as he said,

"Very well, you have done good, now go and wait for me outside. I have something to discuss with this gentleman!"

The ladies were satisfied with his praise, and even though a bit startled they still left the tent one by one without saying anything.

In the next half an hour, they have heard most probably the deepest, and scariest screams of all time, it was at least 10-20 times higher pitched that the ones they had heard when they did it.

Once again, they were reminded that under any circumstance should they even try to get on Eric's bad side, otherwise their life would be too short to regret it enough.

After half an hour, Eric got out of the tent with a calm and peaceful expression, as he sat beside them in order to eat some food.

The good point of the space ring was that everything placed in there wouldn't suffer time, even though it was only accessible to the inanimate objects.

So, the food they put inside there, would always be warm, and taste no matter how much time passed outside.

After eating their fair share of food, and water, the five of them immediately sat down to meditate and cultivate inside the tent.

Tianlong Yun had given them each a technique to cultivate at the moment, in fact he had given them only the first level.

Since he was planning to keep these ladies by his side for a lengthy time, he had decided to give them good techniques.

But the good techniques were certainly really expensive, and he couldn't afford to buy them complete as he was now. So, he was forced to buy only the first level for 10.000 SP points.

It was needless to say that the four of them were shocked to have received such a thing, as they didn't really believe in those things at first, but everything was fixed after a little demonstration.

After that, they had started focusing on learning the meridians, and the special acupoints of their bodies, and read the technique in order to understand it better.

It looked simple, but it wasn't!

Even after one full day they weren't able to remember all the meridians and points they should remember.

Letting that aside, feeling the energy around them was an even bigger problem, and it looked like it would take some time before they were even able to really start cultivating.

In the meantime, Eric was facing his own problems as well. His body couldn't contain anymore Qi, or Exp points, so he was slowly forced to level up.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, or that he didn't have the opportunity to, but he needed someone to help him stabilize his power after the level-up.

The strength that his body remembered for being at the level he was, with the strength that he currently possessed wasn't the same.

As a matter of fact, the difference was so big, that it confused him even more. So, he wanted to find the right moment to level-up, but apparently wasn't possible.

Seeing that it would be useless to do anything like that, he decided to do it in the most reckless way He would level up today, and got experience his strength against the medium sized camps.

Those guys had better weapons, better organization, and better vehicles to boot, so they should be good opponents for him to go against.

With this decision made, he left the ladies to train and cultivate on their own, as he took a big barrel filled with water, and threw 1 medium level Body Tempering Potions inside.

One medium level Body Tempering Potion was equal to 10 low level Body Tempering Potions, so one can imagine their effect.

But since he was already used to them, his body needed more and more in order to be cleared of the impurities, and reach a breakthrough.

So he had no other choice but to do something like this, and only hope he didn't turn into some kind of Masochist, otherwise his life would turn really shitty.

This thought sent his whole body shivering, because thinking how much more he would have to do that in order to increase his strength, he felt that it was possible.

No, no, he couldn't allow such a thing to happen. He better be a sadist than a masochist if he had to be one.

The new him wasn't a type of guy who wanted to be dominated, but to dominate, and he had to make sure it stayed like that, no matter what.

But that was for the future, right now he didn't have another choice, as he immediately entered the barrel of water whole, and let his body get cleaned from the impurities.

It took 45 minutes for the water to finally lose its effect, as Eric had levelled up directly to level 40 in one go, just as he made a small movement to get out of the barrel he send it flying in pieces.

After cleaning his body, and resting for a bit in meditation, it was finally daybreak! It was time to go and try his new strength…
