The Legacy System

With that done, Eric sat upon the closest seat, and pulled Ren Jia towards his lap, while he waited for the Master of these dogs to appear.

Time was passing by as seconds turned into minutes, and before noticing 14 minutes had already passed, making Eric extremely gloomy and angry.

It looked like he wasn't being taken seriously by the dog's Master. Either that or that Master didn't care about the life and death of these puppies.

With those thoughts in his mind, he looked towards the people on the ground and said with a detached voice,

"It seems like your Master doesn't care about you in the least! He would rather see you all die than appear here to save you with his men."

The faces of those guys on the ground were nothing good, they all looked like they had suddenly heard a bitter truth that they had known for some time now.

Still, the two leaders seemed to be different from the others, as there was a strange hint of confidence on their faces, as finally one of them said,

"Hhahahaha~! Just who are you to make our Boss take you seriously? Just a nobody!"

"Oh, so you mean that is the reason why he hasn't appeared and doesn't seem like he will? Then it seems like I have underestimated that guy.

But you know, he has underestimated me a lot too! Does he think that I don't dare touch you if he doesn't appear?"

This time it was the other guy who responded with a burst of laughter,

"Hahahah~! Why do you!?"

"Hahaaah~! No, I don't! Hahahaha~! So why don't you call your boss and tell him that I am ready to meet with him at his place!"

At first, Eric seemed to be stunned at the guy's words, but then the words that came out of his mouth seemed to be even more startling and surprising to these guys.

Despite looking like Eric didn't have the guts or the courage to touch them knowing of their Master, they couldn't help but feel that something was wrong.

Still, since their Master had been the ruler of this city's underworld for quite some time now, they all admired him and revered him.

So, the moment that he heard Eric's answer, despite feeling that it was a bit weird, the guy that talked last took out his phone to call their Master once again.

This time he was extremely happy to do so, as he felt that he had an advantage over Eric. It was time to show this guy his place.

'Rinnggg…, Ringgg…'

"Yes!?"

"Boss, it looks like this guy has finally understood his place, so… AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH~!"

'Craccckkk…, Cracckkk…'

The guy was happily reporting to his Boss when he suddenly felt the pain of his right arm shoulder bone shattering like it was some kind of brittle brick.

Without losing time, Eric picked up the cellphone from the guy's hand, and then said in a calm tone,

"That was only his right hand! I don't think that you should let me wait for longer, otherwise even I don't know what I will dare to do!

I hope this is enough!"

With that said he quickly disconnected the phone call, and just looked at everyone on the ground, including the guy whose shoulder bone he had just crushed down.

The look and expression on his face had clearly changed, as there was no sign of that playful and weak smile there, only a terrible coldness, and calmness that made everyone frightened,

"This should be a clear sign whether I dare to harm you or not, right? So I would appreciate it if you don't test my limits!"

Nobody dared to do or say anything at that moment, as they could only look at him like he was a madman or a lunatic.

On the other hand, Eric quickly ordered Ren Jia to leave the place, and hide at their previous location, until he sent her words to come out.

Ren Jia seemed to have understood something from his words, so she didn't want to leave she wanted to stay by his side, but Eric didn't seem to accept her strong will.

Still, she only left when Eric promised her that if things took a turn for worse, then he would escape, and think of another way.

With Ren Jia out of the way Eric finally felt like things were shaping up, as not long after he was able to hear the sirens of the police cars.

After all, it was impossible for the Underworld to exist if there wasn't any connection to the Police and the ruling parties.

In fact, the underworld and the police were in a symbiotic relationship always helping each other grow. If there was no underworld there wouldn't be a need for police.

Seeing the police officers surround him with weapons, and screaming loudly in their language, Eric could only think that they were asking him to surrender, and that was what he did.

Not before breaking a few more limbs in the meantime though, as if he wanted to express his anger on that Boss guy for playing dirty with him.

Seeing the police come those guys on the ground seemed to be extremely worried for some time as well but seeing the new arrivals they couldn't help but get happy and excited.

After all, the upcoming police guys were nothing more and nothing less than their own people. So it only made sense for them to feel happy, as they started cursing and hating upon Eric.

The moment that the police got their hands on him, a short fatty hit Eric with the back of his gun on the back of his head, and knocked him out, while giving some instructions in his language.

…

'Splassshhhh~!'

Feeling the cold water fall upon his naked body, Eric couldn't help but 'wake up' with a great startle and surprise.

He was hanged with his head down in a dark and empty room, with a few people standing in front of him and looking at him weirdly.

The mask was still on his face, which meant that they still didn't know his identity. But his situation seemed extremely bleak.

The short fatty that had 'knocked' him out earlier, seemed to look at him with detest, as he said in a loud voice,

"Who the hell do you think you are piece of trash!? To actually dare to go against Boss Cui Xie in Longgang City is the same as going against death itself!

Tell us who gave you the guts to come here and do something so audacious!?"

One look was enough to understand that this short fatty was just trying to get in the good books of his Boss Cui Xie. In simpler terms, he was trying to bootlick him.

Eric didn't answer him though! In fact, forget about answering he didn't even look towards him during this time, his eyes were only focused on the guy who seemed to be the boss.

That guy was a fighter, to be more exact he was a level 197 according to his Legacy System Evaluation, which made him quite the opponent.

Not only that, but beside him there was an old man who had the strength of level 214, making him quite the difficult opponent.

The short fatty wasn't anything much though, despite he was much stronger than he looked, as he was a level 67 fighter. With his body, this short fatty was probably the biggest surprise.

There were 4 more people in the darkroom that he was found but since none of them passed the level 170 cap, Eric didn't actually count them.

At that moment he heard the Boss's cold snort, and then his arrogant words,

"To think that a piece of trash like you dares to take a job on my head! I truly don't know whether I should praise your guts, or just insult your stupidity!

As if that wasn't enough, you even dare of harming my people! You have already decided upon your death yourself the moment that you harmed those guys.

Any last words?"

"Hhahahahaha~!"

Cui Xie seemed to be extremely confident and decided upon his words, Eric didn't doubt that he would act upon his words the moment he was over with his last words.

Too bad that he had no intention of dying today whatsoever, and that this Cui Xie didn't have the strength nor the ability to harm him.

For that reason, when everyone thought that he would start crying and ask for forgiveness or something similar, he did something that threw everyone off the loop and he started laughing.

His out loud laughter was exactly like the laughter of a madman, a lunatic that no one was able to predict.

Perhaps due to his vast experience as a police officer, or perhaps due to the fact that he was the weakest in the room, and the closest to a trapped mouse in there, the short fatty was the first to lose his nerve,

"Why the hell are you laughing you scum!? You are going to die in a short time! the only reason we haven't killed you yet is because we want our brothers to kill you slowly, you damn lowlife!"

Despite the fact that his words were full of insults, and strong intentions, for some reason one could feel that there was a weird scare hidden within.

Even Eric was a bit surprised at that, as he thought. 'Apparently, it's true, it seems like the rats are the first to know when an earthquake is hitting!'

But he quickly sent that thought to the back of his head, as he grinned like a devil and said…
