The Legacy System

Unfortunately, the only person left inside the majestic VIP room was Cui Xie, who was enjoying some fruits that he had personally prepared.

"You are finally here gentlemen! But I am afraid that you are a bit too late, that guy has already left!"

"Who are you kid, where is the Master!?"

"Me!? I am just an insignificant junior of the Cui Family, Cui Xie is my name! As for that Master, he has already left and disappeared!

I have no idea where he went!"

"What!?"

The whole crowd was startled and surprised by Cui Xie's words, as while they expected something like this, they still hoped for the opposite.

Without wasting even a precious fraction of a second, all the people in the crowd, either took their phones to text, call, or task their subordinates with surrounding and searching the place.

They didn't want to actually start on a bad foot with the guy, but the fact stood that those pills were just too good, and there was a lot of money in his hands at the moment.

After all, just with those 5 bottles of pills, Eric had accumulated a great sum of 1.8 billion dollars. While that was far away from the big families' capabilities, it wasn't a neglectable sum either.

Not all the people gathered in front of Cui Xie's room had gathered there with good intentions, there were a lot of them who were thinking of making a big splash in just one hit.

As for Cui Xie himself, he was just enjoying the fruits in front of him, while looking at everyone with a calm and collected expression.

Once everyone was done with their orders, they immediately returned their attention to Cui Xie, looking at him with complicated and weird gazes.

"Cui Xie tell us, what is the identity of that man, and how did you make contact with him!"

The first person to speak at this moment was the Ling Family Master, who was clearly displeased that he had been unable to put his hands on one of those bottle pills.

His tone was a bit overbearing and arrogant, as he looked like he wanted to frighten Cui Xie by telling everything he knew.

Unfortunately, his little mind-game didn't work, as not only wasn't Cui Xie frightened by his aura and tone, but he even chuckled as he said,

"Ling Family Head please don't try to startle me! I am a very timid person with a greatly weak heart, if you go overboard I might even suffer a heart attack!

If I were to die, while my Cui Family wouldn't care much about me, I am sure that the leaders would have an opinion on this, don't you think!?

Your grand Ling Family already has an enemy in the form of the Cao Family, you wouldn't wish to add some more to the mix, would you!?"

"Yoouuu…"

How could Ling Family Master allow a junior like Cui Xie to talk to him like that!? It was nothing short of slapping his face.

But at the same time, he was truly afraid of the repercussions, so he could only go as far as to say that 'youu' in a threatening and angry tone.

"Ah, please stop, otherwise I will truly lose my life and all these gentlemen would lose a valuable lead!"

To his bad luck, Cui Xie didn't seem intimidated despite the situation, as he even counter-attacked by placing him in opposition to the crowd beside him.

"Cui Xie cut Ling Family Master some slack, will you!? We are all curious about that Master, and whatever you know about him!

This is an important matter for all of us!"

The one who got in between this time was none other than Long Family Master, but Cui Xie's face went a bit gloomy, as he knew this spelled trouble for him.

After all, who didn't know that the Mu Family would always put their nose in any matter that the Long Family took precedence.

Long Family Master might be trying to ease the tension and help the situation, but with his actions, he was doing nothing else but adding oil to the flames.

"Hehehe~! Family Master Long is being too serious! I am sure that everyone saw that Junior Cui Xie was just trying to defend himself!

He had no intention of slapping Ling Family Master on the face! You shouldn't make a mountain out of a molehill!"

"Brother Mu you…"

"Brother!? You dare call me brother!? After what you did, you still dare to call me brother!? It's a disgrace for me to have ever thought positively of a guy like you!

You better clean your mouth with soap if you want to talk to this Master! Otherwise, I wouldn't mind taking the Elders of my Mu Family to your Ancestral Home for a small conversation."

"You would go that far!?"

"Challenge me, and I will demonstrate to you whether I dare to go that far or not!"

Seeing that the Mu Family Master was fully serious with his words, the Long Family Master had no choice but to stand down and make way, as the Mu Family head took the lead and said,

"Junior Cui Xie, and everyone else I am ashamed of the small disgrace that you had to witness, but now is the time to talk about important stuff!

Junior Cui Xie can you tell us everything you know of this matter!?"

"Since Family Master Mu is being so serious, then this junior will surely not avoid his duties and everyone's expectations.

It's just that I think that you will be disappointed by what I have to say, as I wasn't the one to find that Master, but it was he who came to find me!

As of now, I don't have the slightest idea about his identity, but I know that he is an extremely talented Master in the field of Alchemy, someone that can make everyone else bow their heads to him."

"What!? How is that possible!? Then why did you help him!?"

"I don't understand how this is possible, or why he chose me either!? Perhaps what he wanted was someone with sufficient identity and face to connect him to the Auction House, while not being wanted by his own family.

Like this, he would be able to sell his products while not worrying about being implicated with a family!"

Which among the people in there didn't know that despite the great fortune and luck that Cui Xie had brought upon the Cui Family, the Cui Family itself didn't like him, and always tried to pressure him.

So what he said made a lot of sense. While he wouldn't betray the Cui Family, he would never waste the opportunity to make a fortune for himself and increase his strength.

"What if he was a terrorist!? Why did you help him out!?"

As the crowd was hearing the explanation, the Ling Family Master took the opportunity to try and target Cui Xie and make him an opponent of the crowd.

"Hehehe~! Family Master Ling you seemed to have completely changed music, from the frightening threats, you started cracking jokes!"

"Cui Xie don't go too far!"

"I am going too far!? I don't think so, right!? After all, have you ever seen a terrorist that would actually sell beneficial pills to his enemy to help them grow stronger!?

Of course, you might claim that those pills are actually poisonous and harmful, but then you would be throwing mud on the face of the Auction House, as they validated and guaranteed their use.

As for why did I help him, isn't that extremely clear already!? You guys spent so much money to get your hands on those pills, while I just had to help him set contact!

You guys could count yourselves how much did I gain from this!"

The whole crowd was left speechless, as they didn't expect Cui Xie to accept these things with a straight face.

But who could blame him, whoever had been in his position would have done the same without a doubt? Furthermore, their attention wasn't on what Cui Xie had done, but on what he possessed.

"Cui Xie just how many pills did you receive to work with a terrorist!"

Ling Family Master seemed to be decided on calling the Master Alchemist a terrorist, and then capture him on sight.

Of course not because he truly thought the guy was a terrorist but in order to concoct medicinal pills for his Ling Family around the clock.

At the same time, he was thinking of calling Cui Xie an accomplice and forcing him into handing over whatever pills he had received.

"Heheheh~! Unable to control our greed any longer, aren't we Ling Family Master!? Well, I don't mind telling you that I actually took 10 Energy Refining Pills for my help!

Unfortunately, I am afraid that you won't be able to take them from me, as they are already gone!"

"What!? What do you mean!?"

"Come on, Ling Family Master do you think I am stupid or a child!? How could I not know about the greed and intentions of some people!

So, in order to not incur a loss, and save myself from trouble, I immediately took the pills the moment they were given to me! Which was just a few minutes before that Master left!

Don't you feel something special about me right now!? Aren't you able to sense how fast I am absorbing the energy around me!?"

It was only at that moment that everyone at the venue understood why they felt that there was something wrong with this situation.

No one knew what to think, or make of this situation anymore…
