The Legacy System

With the change of situation, it would be better for him to go and have a look at his brother first, and then meet with his father-in-law.

Despite everything, the position of his brother was much more important than the position of his dear father-in-law.

His brother was one of his main targets for revenge, while his father-in-law was just one more of the stepping stones he had to step upon.

It wasn't like he was underestimating him, as he had already understood just what kind of venomous snake he was, and just how much of a sly fox he could be.

But no matter what, at the end of the day, he was nothing more than a stepping stone for Eric. While his brother Michael was one of the big reasons he had turned back in time.

With those thoughts in mind, he immediately got on the elevator followed by Kela, as he pressed the button for the highest floor this elevator could go for.

There was a special elevator for going into President Takeshiba Tomiyasu's office, as the other elevators could at best send one to the prior floor, which was even the Vice-Presidents floor.

The elevators were quick, and comfy, as one wouldn't sense the trip to the destination at all. But Eric couldn't help but get a bit agitated by Kela's look all the way.

She was looking at him with doubt, and scrutiny, like she was trying to uncover all his secrets in one go.

He didn't know what she was thinking about, or about what had fired the doubts fire inside her, but he understood that this woman was bad news.

It felt like her sixth sense was much stronger than he had thought it to be, but it wasn't like it mattered much.

The moment that the elevator's gates opened on the designated floor, Eric immediately walked outside the elevator relieved inside, as he looked at the workers around him.

Most of the guys that would usually be working in this place had been replaced, he didn't know whether they were fired or repositioned but they were almost fully replaced.

Only a select few had been able to escape the purge, including those idiots that Eric had caught embezzling money from the Company.

This was more than enough for Eric to understand that the company's new president didn't have any intention of leaving the place he had.

As a matter of fact, it seemed like this guy was trying his best to plant roots in this place, and slowly take over the whole thing.

His brother certainly was a greedy and ambitious man. Perhaps he had underestimated him all this time, which made Eric feel a bit excited for the future.

If he only had to take his revenge from weak, and stupid crows, then he would slowly lose interest in his revenge.

But now for a change, he had a feeling that things were getting quite interesting and he would have a lot of fun playing this game.

Even though he was getting weird looks from wherever he passed, and most of them were even filled with malice, he didn't seem to mind as he walked towards his destination.

Reaching the office of the Vice-President, he was notified of his presence, as the door was almost immediately opened, and he entered the pre-office area.

Inside there were 3 women, ladies, or to be more exact smoking hot babes. Each of them was like a different breed of woman.

There was the rude and Rambo one, there was the calm and collected one, and also the superhot clutzy one.

But their personalities weren't the only thing that would grab a man's attention as their bodies and their curves were like chiseled by God himself.

The three of them would most probably be the dream of any man on earth, and Eric wasn't different from others, he might have thought so too if it weren't for their looks and expressions.

They were looking at him with really bad and dangerous eyes like they were looking at some kind of a stupid loser, some kind of worm or virus that could take them down too if they weren't careful.

This was a bit rude as this was the first time he was meeting them, and there should be no enmity between them, so just what was happening here?

Still, he didn't make a ruckus out of this, as he waited for his brother to allow him access to his office, and he had to wait a bit for that.

To think that his brother was such a childish idiot even now. He couldn't help but feel like he had overestimated him a moment ago.

He was leaving him outside just to show him that he was now the Vice-President of the Takeshiba Group of Companies, and he would have to follow his wish.

In a way, he was trying to show off in front of Eric, and brush his new power to him. Too bad though that Eric didn't seem to care, as he just stood there ogling at the secretaries.

Their eyes towards him hadn't changed in the least, but that didn't stop Eric from basking his eyes in their beauties, as he looked like he didn't care in the least about his brother's little trick.

In fact, the one who seemed to be angrier at such receival was Kela, who didn't seem to like staying there in wait, as she looked at the secretaries, and said,

"Did you inform your Master or not? We have other things to take care of, you know!?"

It was at this point that Eric interfered with his words,

"Kela is right, could you go inform my big brother once again? As my father-in-law is waiting for me and it would be rude of me to make him wait!"

The rude and Rambo secretary seemed to have had enough as she said in a loud voice,

"We have already informed Master of your presence, so just wait there for when he gets free!"

Kela was the personal secretary of Master Takeshiba, and her normal position could be said to be equal to that of a Vice President in the Takeshiba Group of Companies.

So, how could she allow a damn new secretary talk to her like that, as he got enraged while saying,

"What did you say!?"

She was about to use her aura and pressure on her enemy, as Eric was clearly quite interested in the results, but feeling that his brother was entering the pre-office, he got in front of her and said,

"Ma, ma, don't be so rude. These ladies must be tired, and busy as well, so let us just wait for a little longer Kela!"

Kela was still angry, but she managed to hold herself back, as she heard a sudden voice from the open door of the office,

"I see that you are as patient, generous, and understanding as ever little brother! You are making this big brother feel ashamed to have let you wait outside!"

Finally, this piece of trash had decided to show his face, that was what Eric thought, but on his face, there was no sign of such an opinion on his face, in fact, he looked like he had just had an old curse activated,

"Big brother, I didn't expect to see you here!"

"What are you talking little brother, I couldn't let sister-in-law face this hard life alone, or allow the guys in here to throw mud upon your name.

For that reason, I have been trying to do everything I can to not embarrass you little brother, and I will continue to do so!

But man, how happy I am to finally see you again, it's the best surprise I have received today. Come on, let's enter my office and talk among each other!"

Well, these words in a sort of way managed to summarize everything that was going on in there. His brother had somehow managed to enter this place, and now he had no intention of leaving it.

Certainly, Eric could use his connection to his father-in-law to ask for his place back, but then all the media, and people in the Company would start spreading rumors about him.

Not only had his brother received that position, but he had also managed to change whole the personnel working for him, including those guys that Eric himself had thrown away.

It was clear that his brother had started growing roots in this place, and it would be more than difficult to remove him.

Not that Eric had any intention to do so anyway, but the problem now stood how he should act about it.

It was clear that his brother still thought that he was the same idiot that he was able to push around since he was a kid.

As a matter of fact, he was still treating him the same, as even now that he invited him inside his office, he was looking at him with those disgusting and creeping eyes of usual.

Since Eric didn't want to break his family and didn't want to get exiled from his place, he had always tried to keep his head down and obey his big brother's orders.

But now those eyes looked like nothing more than the eyes of a stupid weird, and scary idiot that one could find in every corner of this city.

He couldn't believe himself that once upon a time he had been scared from those eyes. It seemed like it was some sort of weak joke, still this time he had to pretend like it was still the same.

It seemed like when he started walking towards the office his aura started to change slightly, from that calm and collected one, to that of a frightened rabbit one.

When the door closed behind him, he heard his brother's threatening voice…
