The Legacy System

The young Chef Chen seemed to have been caught unprepared from his opponent's attack. After all, who would expect a renowned doctor trying to kill a young Chef?

But just because he was caught unprepared it didn't mean that he had any intention of actually receiving that attack and dying.

That would be extremely lame considering that he had a treasure like his Legacy System. Not to mention that he had no wish of dying.

No, he would live a damn fu*cking long life, until Heaven finally decided that it couldn't accommodate his existence, and he would pick up a fight with Heaven.

Until then, he was going to live, fight, kill, and love many opponents, many enemies, and most importantly many beauties.

He was going to live his life as he wanted, and even if someday he died, he would want to die without any regrets.

Only like that would have his life been worth of him living it. As he thought like that, he quickly activated his Jade Body defense while infusing Dragon Force to it, and also preparing his potions.

Even though this was a desperate situation for him, it was impossible for him to reveal his secrets or more than necessary.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be considered as a Master and an alchemist but like a fat sheep that needed to be sheathed.

With those thoughts in his mind, it would be much more credible and to his interests, if he got injured in such a place, trying to defend himself.

The speed and strength of Doctor Huang were way above his expectations, as he was nothing to joke about as a Realm 3 expert.

In a matter of a fraction of a second, the guy's palm had arrived in front of the young Chef Chen ready to land and take his life.

Even in this situation, as the overbearing pressure was trying to push the young Chef Chen into a corner he didn't close his eyes. Quite on the opposite, he seemed to have grown calmer and cooler.

He was just like a growing stalk of grass, that even as the storm got closer and fiercer stood straight and unmoving showing his will, determination, and resolve.

'Swwiiiiisshhhhhh~!'

Just as the palm was about to crash on his defensive Pure Jade body, an old hand appeared out of nowhere, steady and unmoving as a mountain, completely blocking the palm coming for his life.

The sudden interference surprised not only the attacking Doctor Huang but even the young Chef Chen himself, who had no idea who was the Master appearing beside him.

"My, my, Doctor Huang, don't you think that you are going a bit overboard!?

After all, this is the Gao family's house, and this is their servant! Aren't you making them lose face by acting like this, and harming him?"

The old man's tone was quite calm and cool. In fact, he looked just like some kind of amiable and noble elder that you might find in your neighborhood.

Yet the strength, power, and force he was emitting would quickly awaken everyone that thought of that as the truth. He looked like anything but that.

"You… Who are you!? How dare you meddle in this Master's work!? Who gave you the right to do so?

Furthermore, I am not teaching a lesson to a servant but killing an assassin that poisoned the Young Master of the Gao family!"

At this moment, the answer didn't come from the old man but from the young Chef Chen,

"Oy, stop spouting bullshit like that! Aren't you afraid of smearing the good reputation of yours, and your Master!?

Especially when the guy himself has woken up!"

As they heard those words, everyone inside the room couldn't help but once again turn their eyes towards Young Master Gao, who seemed to have truly opened his eyes, and was checking his body.

Madam Li upon seeing that forgot completely about Gao Tianji and jumped towards her son in worry,

"Jian'er how do you feel? Are you okay!?"

"Ye-Yes mother I am okay! While I have been better, at least I am still alive and don't feel pain anymore!"

"It's good that you are okay my son, it's good that you are okay!"

A lot of people didn't know what to think and what to feel about this situation, especially Master Gao Tianji and his daughter Gao Ruo who had been responsible for poisoning him.

But the ones who felt the burn the most were most probably Chef Guo who had administered the poison and Doctor Huang who had claimed that young Chef Chen had poisoned Young Master Gao.

To the two of them, it was most probably like suddenly finding out that their hopes were lost. One would most probably die due to his mistake, while the other had lost any chance to turn the situation in his favor.

"What do you have to say now, genius Doctor!?"

Today it was just like a ride on a rollercoaster as the whole audience couldn't help but turn their heads from one place to the other, and right now their eyes were fixed on Doctor Huang.

No one knew what the Doctor was actually thinking right now, but they were sure really curious to know his reactions.

As for the guy in question, he couldn't help but look at the whole damn situation in wonder. How was this shit possible?

The poison that had been given to Young Master Gao Jian was specifically prepared from himself, with the instructions of his Master.

It was supposed to be a high-end poison that was almost impossible to cure. And yet a nobody, even younger than himself was able to find a perfect antidote in such a short time?

Did the fu*cking sun rise from the West or something?

He was unable to understand how could this be possible, and the more he thought the more enraged he became towards the young Chef Chen.

Why should this bastard spoil his foolproof plans? Why did he have to show up and cure his great achievement?

He was angry and enraged! He wanted nothing more than to kill this little bastard, and then cut his body in a thousand pieces, and dilute his blood in the water, but unfortunately, he couldn't.

The old man in front of him was actually giving him a terrible vibe, like some kind of ancient snake that would devour him should he try anything.

As Doctor Huang was left in a difficult situation, unable to retort, the old man turned to have a look at the young Chef by his side, while smiling gently and saying,

"Hohoho little Chen is truly amazing! You have opened this old man's eyes today."

"Master is overpraising me, it's this Chen's great fortune to have Master save my life today!"

"I don't think that you were in much of a need for me to save you, but since you have decided to become part of my Li family, then it was something that I had to do!"

All this time Eric was wondering about the identity of this old man in front of him. He had saved his life in a critical moment, but he wasn't anything simple.

This old man was an expert that had clearly reached at least one or two realms more than the person in front of them, otherwise, he would have blocked that powerful palm that easily.

It had been as easy as cracking a nut for him, and the people that could do something like that weren't simple.

Then hearing his words, and comments he understood that the old man was from the Li family, and even more, he considered him as part of the family already.

Most probably this meant that the Li family had accepted to give Li YunMu and Li Yao to him. Which was something extremely meaningful and important.

Both of them were descendants of the direct line and not some nobodies. Even if Li YunMu didn't have much of a position in the Li family right now, she still had influence above them.

Furthermore, those were only the conditions to open the negotiations, and there were many more benefits awaiting him in front of him.

Not to mention that with the help of the Li family the deal for the potions and the stability of power in the city were as good as solidified.

"Can you let me have a look at the recipe of the antidote later? I had no idea that something like this was possible to do with the herbs and resources you used!

I am truly curious to know how proficient you are in Alchemy!

Do you have a Master!?

Who taught you Alchemy!?"

Just as young Chef Chen was having the impression that this old man was an upright, cool, and collected expert, he started acting just like a kid who had found the candies in a shop.

His questions rapid rate was even fiercer than the bullets coming out of an AK-47 gun, as the look on his face was getting weirder by the moment.

Young Chef Chen could be considered to have gone speechless seeing him like that, as he didn't know whether he should answer those questions, or deal with that Doctor Huang first.

"Yo-You are the Saint of the Li family!? You are Li Da aren't you!?"

"Oh, it seems like even a genius doctor like you knows me brat!"

"I apologize for my rudeness senior! I would have never thought that the Saint of the Li family would appear like this in front of me one day!

It's just that like you said Senior the herbs and materials this young man used seemed more like a poison than an antidote, so I couldn't help but act in haste!"

'Damned twister!'
