The Legacy System

Gao Jixie's headache was increasing with each passing day, as he was the man in the center of the attention.

Not only due to his son's sudden suffering but also due to the failed assassination attempt on Cui Xie's life.

While there was still no accusation or any clear proof from the investigation, people all over the place were talking that Gao Jixie might be the perpetrator.

That wasn't even the worst part, the worst part was that Cui Xie was still alive, and if things played for the worse then he would most probably become the center of gathering for all his enemies.

If the ants were on their own they wouldn't make much of a problem, but if someone managed to gather a colony of ants, then it was the same as asking for trouble.

Even someone like Gao Jixie couldn't ignore all of those ants, and he was actually thinking of making sure that he wiped the troubles out before they started to resurge.

A god knew just how many ex-opponents of his and their families were going to suffer from all of this, but that was all upon Gao Jixie himself.

…

As Gao Jixie was passing his daily life in stress, and misery, the new cook of the Mansion was gaining a lot of praise, acknowledgment, and appraisal from the other people inside the Mansion.

Even the previous Chef of the kitchen, couldn't help but admire his skills and ask Eric to become his Master. Eric clearly refused to do that, but he had to agree to teach him one or two things in passing.

Still, those simple instructions should be enough to raise his skills by at least one or two stars, giving him a wider stage for himself, and greater potential ahead.

The greatest admirers though were the ladies that worked around the house, like the housemaids, the servants, or the kitchen staff.

They saw Eric as a great opportunity not only to learn more about food, and being a Chef, but also to grab a thick thigh and secure their future.

There was no way that Eric would ever refuse or reject any of their advances, and in fact, he played the style of a playboy, and yet there was a swarm of ladies around him.

Perhaps if it weren't for the fact that he accepted to teach the ex-Chef some skills, that guy would have died out of jealousy at this moment or would have simply thought of defaming, and destroying him.

Not that Eric cared a lot though, as he was here just for some simple hiding in plain sight and set up the stage of his next plans.

Would Master Gao Jixie ever understand that the person he was looking for all over the City and even beyond was eating, drinking, fu*cking, and sleeping under the same roof as him?

Probably not!

After all, no one knew the members of the teams that went to cause a commotion, and even less the face of their leader.

But even if he did, Eric was just one Escape Talisman away to make a clean escape in any possible situation, and then just change his face again.

It was only on Eric's 3rd day of arrival, that Young Master Gao Jian was finally released from the hospital and brought back home.

There was quite a bit of chaos and racket that day, as everyone working inside the house was under the orders of the Madam to make sure that nothing missed by his side.

It was also that day Eric's work would start, and the Madam of the house, Li Yunmu came to meet him in person, and ask him about his qualifications and his confidence in serving good food to her son.

Eric, on the other hand, acted as a fully professional Chef, with a heavy and solemn aura around him, and showed his full confidence.

Furthermore, he asked for a report of Young Master Gao Jian's physical report, in order for him to better select the necessary ingredients and prepare a suitable diet.

The Madam was a bit surprised but seeing his solemn and serious appearance, she just made a sign to the secretary appointed to her to give him a copy.

Taking the report, Eric was a bit disappointed by the fact that Cui Xie's kick had destroyed only one of Young Master Gao Jian's precious eggs, as he made a mental note to double his training from next time.

But at the same time, he felt that like this, his plan would work better, and he would be able to fully accomplish his goal. He couldn't wait to start.

Quickly preparing a diet for Young Master Gao Jian, he wrote it on a piece of paper and then handed it over to the secretary by Li YunMu's side, and said,

"This is the diet recipe that I am thinking of serving Young Master Gao Jian, you can go and consult with a doctor, or a dietician, in order to relieve some of Madam's worries."

Then with the same serious and solemn look, he showed a slightly happier face, and then continued,

"While I can't promise you miracle's madam, there is a chance for me to help with Young Master's inability through food!

Certainly, you may not believe me, and tell me not to, or you can give me permission after I have shown my skills and gained your trust!

I am saying this, just because I don't want any secrets to linger between us! President Gao is my idol, and I will do everything I can in order to serve him, or his family members!

Now if you permit me, it's time for me to start cooking!"

All the time Li YunMu had only spoken what she had to and expressed her worry about her young and capable son, that was unfortunately harmed by those ingrates.

When she heard that Eric might have a way to help her son regain his virility, she was ready to jump and ask him to act immediately.

But then hearing his next words it was like a bucket of cold water was thrown over her head, and she had regained clarity. It was right, she couldn't believe anyone at the moment.

Not even her own husband!

That man had promised her to take revenge for their son, but he had failed to even kill that damn bastard that brought her son to these conditions.

Just how useless was he to fail in something like that?

Even then, a small ray of hope was left and seeded inside her heart. Eric seemed extremely certain and serious in his words, and even though he said he could only try, there was a sense of confidence in his words.

Seeing Eric leave the office, she turned towards her 'secretary' and said,

"What do you think cousin?"

"I don't know if he has the ability to cure Jian'er but I can say for sure that he is capable!"

"Oh, why so!?"

"The diet recipe that he just wrote is the same with the diet sent by our family's head Alchemist! There are only a few tweaks and changes here and there, but I feel that they are even better choices.

I am sure that the head Alchemist will personally want to come here and have a look at him!"

"Really?"

"Yes, you can check them yourself! This guy is nothing normal, I think that we should take special care of him.

He seems to have no evil intentions towards us at the moment, so I think that it would be better to create warm relations with him and not trouble!"

"You are evaluating him really high! What happened have you fallen for him?"

"I certainly am, but I don't think I have fallen for him yet! If he truly lives up to my expectations, I might though!

If I do, I will immediately take him to father and arrange our wedding! I can share him with you if you wish though!"

"Hmph~! Your tastes are still as weird and low as usual! That guy is ordinary at best, I would be surprised if he showed any expression during sex!"

"Oh!? And yours are better cousin? Gao Jixie is just a hoodlum who is relying on our family's background and connections, without you he is nothing!

Furthermore, he hasn't even been a loyal husband until now. Just how many affairs and bastards has he spread behind your back around the places he has been?

He doesn't deserve you, and I don't know why you are still staying with him!"

"He is my husband, you wouldn't understand…"

"It's true I don't understand! I don't understand why you are still so adamant about being with him when he is such a guy!

Do you think that he will be able to actually take revenge for his son? With how things are going, I truly wonder if he will be even able to wipe his own ass!

Well anyway, I need to go and report to the Head Alchemist of the family, I will return later!"

With that said, the beautiful secretary left the room, leaving behind a flabbergasted Li YunMu who didn't know what to actually think.

These days she had been extremely tired of taking care of her son. If it weren't for her cousin's help and attention she would have grown much weaker and sick.

She had been threatening her husband with calling her family until now, but what Gao Jixie didn't know was that she had already done so the moment that she heard about her son's conditions.

Things were bound to get messy soon…
