The Legacy System
Chapter 421 - 421: Can’t Beat The Owner? Bully The Dogs!If it were before his secluded Alchemy practice, Eric would have most probably thought twice before saving the life of Cui Xie, as the price in SP points would be just that high.
But now that wasn't a problem anymore, as all he had to pay for were the ingredients and his time in concocting the potions.
It didn't mean that they were free, but at least many times more affordable. At the same time he used this occasion and Cui Xie as his testing subject.
The results were pretty satisfying as not only had the blood leaking stopped, but Cui Xie's wound had recovered by 60% and he was out of any life danger.
It was quite the miracle! If a doctor was there, he wouldn't have believed such a miracle happen in front of his eyes, and he would have either called it a hoax, or treat Eric as the God himself.
As for the man himself, he was just looking with a bit of excitement at the results of his hard work, and knowledge.
The others were unable to see it as he did, but his potions had reached a purity and efficacy of 18-19%. One had to know that the medium quality Health potions he got from the system were only at 20%.
But those potions had been concocted by a great Alchemist that was quite a few levels above him. So reaching that quality at his age and level, it was bound to be something special.
Surely he didn't think of himself as the best Alchemist in the world, or the best genius Alchemist. Even if he had reached the 20% mark he still would be far behind what he should.
Still these results showed that he was quite good, and he was walking upon the right path. He had some skills that no one would be able to ignore.
As he was thinking like that, he took another look at Cui La, and said in a gentle and tender tone,
"Don't worry, he is fine now. There is no danger upon his life anymore!"
Cui La had been crying all this time, until she felt like all her tears were disappearing from her eyes. It wasn't that she didn't trust Eric, but seeing the condition her brother was, only a miracle would save him.
Even though she had cried and pleaded to Eric to save him, her hopes were really low that something like that might actually happen.
All this time she had looked at Eric stuffing Cui Xie's mouth with that strange liquid without understanding why, or what effect it had, until she saw the blood flow stop.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was at that moment that her lost hopes were ignited once again, and she started thinking that perhaps a miracle was truly happening.
Seeing the bottles that Eric took out she felt despair once again, but then she quickly regained hope when she saw Eric bring those bottles out in batches.
All this time she had been in a rollercoaster of emotions, and it was only now that she heard Eric's words that she finally managed to awaken from her stupor.
Her tears once again gushed like waterfalls, as she jumped in his arms crying,
"Thank you! Thank you! I love you! I will do anything for you! I will even give my life for you! Thank you!"
Perhaps even she herself didn't understand what she was saying, as her words were a mess. But those words came from the bottom of her heart.
That was the first time since being expelled from their family, that she had felt like that. And also the first time that the whole thing didn't end in a tragedy.
Eric on the other hand, just hugged her tightly, as he said,
"Stupid girl, don't worry, everything is fine now!"
As for the main character of the show, he still couldn't believe that he had actually been saved, and that he would continue living. It looked like a dream or something.
But even though his life was experiencing a great excitement and enthusiasm, the same couldn't be said for his physical body, as he was extremely tired, and could only pass out.
On the other hand, Eric waited for the beauty in his arms to calm down, disrupted the hug, then took out a knife and made a cut towards Cui Xie's body.
Everything happened so fast, that Cui La almost fainted when she saw the cut, but the next moment she heard Eric say,
"Don't worry, its just a superficial cut!
Old Ma call the others and take Cui Xie's body to the hospital. Make a big commotion on the way, don't care about anyone blocking the path.
The moment that you reach there surround the hospital fully, and place as much guards as you can.
You should be Cui Xie's side personally no matter what happens, or whatever the doctors say."
"Yes Master!"
How could the old thing not understand Eric's intentions, and plans. It looked like Longgang City was going to suffer unrest for a few days.
"At the same time, tell those four to be ready in 10 minutes, we are going to pay a visit to Gao Jixie's place!"
"Yes Master!"
At that moment, the weak and feeble Cui La looked at his face, and then said with a weak voice,
"I want to go too!"
"Ren Jia will send you later, firstly I need to talk with you!"
Cui La didn't know why but hearing the solemn and heavy voice of Eric she knew that it was something extremely important, and that she might not like.
Still, she just nodded her head and didn't say anything else. As Old Ma did as he was told, Eric took Cui La to another room.
No one knew what they talked about, or what happened inside that room, there were only heard sounds of surprise, anger, pain, and finally happiness.
15 minutes later, Eric got out of the room with Cui La, who was wearing a complicated look on his face, and then left her in Ren Jia's care.
These days Ren Jia had turned into a secretary for Eric, she would do and take care of everything that Eric needed. Even if she needed to talk to his next mistress.
There had never been even the faintest sign of displeasure of disobedience on her face. Everything she did was done with a gentle and tender expression, not losing her calm under any situation.
Looking at the back of the fleeting figure, Eric felt a bit sorry to have used her like that, and not have paid enough attention to her feelings and thoughts, but now wasn't the time to do so.
Right now he was pressed for time, and they both had things that they needed to take care of. Of course he wouldn't go face Gao Jixie himself that would be stupid.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter all, his position in Cui Xie's side was that of a bodyguard, nothing more. Gao Jixie could kill him, and he wouldn't suffer much.
He was certain in his strength, skills, and abilities, but that didn't mean that he wanted to attract attention unnecessarily.
Furthermore, if he overdid it, then Gao Jixie and Weng Hao might get cold feet, or try something much more detailed against him.
That would certainly be against his plans, and benefit!
For that reason the target of his attacks would be Gao Jixie's business places, and his underlings. When you couldn't beat the owner, you could just bully the dogs around him.
That was a given! Like this, Gao Jixie might even lower his guard even more, and make Eric's next plans even easier to enact.
Taking the 4 vice-leaders that Cui Xie trusted the most, and that had his Slave Seal inside their Conscience Sea, Eric left towards the first target.
It was one of the medium companies of Gao Jixie, while this place wasn't big, and didn't regenerate a large amount of revenue, there were words that it was used as a front for illegal trading.
Well to be more precise there were doubts of this place being an underground casino, and weapons auction place.
Eric didn't have any idea to enter and rob this place, he was just going to destroy the cover, and let the rest to the police.
Like that, he wouldn't only take out his anger, but also create a headache to Gao Jixie. Dealing with the police and media wouldn't be easy for sure.
4 big vans arrived in front of the place, that on the outside was just a medium size paper company, 25 people came out of the vans, with Eric leading the group.
Each and every one of them was dressed up to their teeth, and there wasn't even 1 inch square of skin or hair showing.
Without saying anything, Eric just made a sign with his hand, and they all run forward with metal rods, or baseball bats destroying everything in sight.
According to Eric's orders the normal employees weren't to be touched, but if someone got courageous and wanted a fight, they could teach him a lesson.
As for the guards, and the other protectors, it was in a first come first serve basis. They were strictly prohibited to take anything of value from there.
Some of the guys grumbled at the rules, but no one dared to complain up front, the aura leaking from Eric's body made them all unable to breathe for a moment or two.
Abiding to the rules set, in less than 10 minutes, the middle size company had turned into a tattered building, as the hooligans left the place happy.
As they were entering the vans though, Eric looked at a special someone, and said…
