On the other hand, Eric was living through a weird situation inside his car with Tatsuya Minami and Muuto Hina.
It was clear that both of them were really emotional at the moment, it could be clearly seen on their face, they were one hairbreadth distance away from jumping into his arms and hugging him.
But none of them seemed to be able to cover that distance, their duty, their position didn't allow them to do such a thing.
Eric had no idea what had happened to them in these few days and even less on what they had decided, but he couldn't help but feel a bit dissatisfied with their standing.
It's not like he expected them to jump in his arms directly, but he didn't like them to be this foreign and far from him either.
It was clear that he would have to assign them a bit more special time by his side and make the two of them choose him over everything else.
The whole trip to his home was quiet and weird, no one said or did anything the whole route, making the two ladies even more dissatisfied with the situation.
When they finally reached home, Eric couldn't help but look at what was standing in front of him with a startle.
This month he had been away, his brother-in-law Takeshiba Yuto had hired a team of experts to turn his home into a big, and beautiful mansion.
There was no comparison to what this thing had been in the past, and what it was now. As of right now, it looked like some kind of modern castle.
The number of rooms, floors, bathrooms, kitchens, everything had multiplied by at least 4, as the inside had turned into some kind of luxurious showroom.
There were a lot of pictures, carpets, or furniture that didn't belong to the time he had lived, in fact, it would be more appropriate to think that it was hundreds of years before his birth.
Not only that, but his brother-in-law had also hired a lot of new temporary staff to clean up and take care of the mansion, as the last call clearly belonged to Eric.
He was the one who would live in this place, and certainly his staff, and everything else depended on his tastes and choices.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, Eric had to admit that his brother-in-law was quite something to have finished all this in less than a month, and at such quality.
Even though he didn't feel as much grateful when he noticed all the bugs, and chimes around the place, he had expected something like this to happen, but it was a bit too much wasn't it?
Anyway, he didn't have time to think much about it, as he had other things he needed to take care of, without the company of his guarding unit.
In fact, the moment that he entered the house, Eric turned towards the siblings, and Tatsuya Minami saying,
"From now on you will not have to be by my side anymore! I thank you and the Council for your thoughts, but things will have to change from here on!
You will not have any connection with my security from now on, you will just be my connection to the Council!"
His words were like a bomb. No one from the three expected something like that, after all, they thought that they had his trust.
As if reading their thoughts, Eric immediately clarified the things,
"This has nothing to do with the fact whether I trust you or not, but with my security, and the fact that I don't want to put you into a situation where you will have to choose!
I have already sent news of this to the Council, your new orders shall be here really soon."
The ladies seemed shocked and heartbroken, as all three of them received notifications of being called to the headquarters. All three of them at the same time.
On the other hand, Eric had already steeled his heart and his resolve. He didn't have any more time to waste from now on, as he would have to play the game seriously.
Having these guys snoop around would be a bit too bothersome, and worrying for him, so he had to make a clear line of what they were able to, and weren't able to do from now on.
Tatsuya Minami and Muuto Hina clearly didn't like this new arrangement in the least, it came as a great shock to them, and even though they understood the logic behind they didn't want to accept it.
These made them even angrier with this all messed up situation, as they both turned around and walked out with their mind out of their head.
Eric felt a bit worried looking at them leave like that, but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment, he would try to make it up to them later.
Once those three had gone, he immediately arranged a meeting with the new staff of his mansion and announced to them that they would have to leave this place in the upcoming week.
He didn't trust any one of them, as he was intending to replace them with his own loyal people.
With that done he entered his room, only to disappear from there the next moment, and reappear somewhere far away from there.
First things first, he had to go and pay a visit to his other spots, and servants, like Fujiwara Amane, Shiro, Daisuke, and all others.
Without losing any more time, he changed his get-up and started walking in a direction. Nobody would be able to tell that he was Eric, even if he had met him more than once in the past.
The first one he had decided to meet was the beauty of the Yakuza, Fujiwara Amane. In this one month that had passed by, she had taken over the Yakuza as his representative.
Not only had she cleaned the whole organization from almost any opposing element, but she had also demonstrated great managerial ability, and increased their territory, and finances.
As a matter of fact, recently she had even started gathering orphans in order to create an army for him.
It wasn't much of a surprise that big organizations would recruit orphans in order to train them into fighters, but no one had tried it with those numbers.
She had already gathered more than 3000 orphans in 2 weeks alone, which were being trained in Martial Arts, and brainwashed to be loyal to Eric.
Even Eric himself had been shocked by this prospect when he had received news of this from Shiro, but nonetheless, it was a happy shock.
At this moment, Fujiwara Amane was seating on her chair, in a dimly lit room, as she was going over some important news she had received lately.
With the increase in reputation she had received lately, and the talent she had shown she had attracted quite a bit of attention and fans over herself.
There were invitations coming to her almost every day, as men who had standing, and strength would try to form a relationship with her and offer her an opportunity for the wider arena.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmToo bad that everything that had come her way had been always been politely refused, and when someone tried to pass over the line, Kirigaya Kaito would take care of them personally.
After the first 3 people to have died due to that, the others decided to act more carefully, as it was clear that there was someone powerful behind her, even though no one knew that it was Eric.
The invitation she had in her hand at the moment though, was an invitation for an auction. Participating in an auction wasn't a big deal, but the things that would be auctioned were.
The valuables that would be auctioned in that place, were slaves, resources, mines, weapons, and even a few small islands.
Normally she should never receive such an invitation, but one of her suitors was trying to show her his standing and had invited her in order to have an experience of such greatness.
As she was thinking of what to do with that invitation of hers, she heard a whisper at her ear,
"I never thought that while I was busy training, you will be handling love letters my beauty!"
As if that wasn't enough, the moment he said those words, that guy even had the audacity to lick her earlobe, which sent shivers through her whole body.
Her maids and assistants were clearly shocked by the foreigner's sudden appearance, but they immediately took out their knives and jumped towards him, their reaction was good.
Their motive was clearly to kill him and save their Miss, but before they could even make it halfway through, they both had their clothes removed from them and stopped in place.
Even though the two ladies were skilled fighters, and wouldn't normally give in easily to the enemy, they still felt a bit embarrassed getting naked like that.
But that just made them evaluate even more the skills of the intruder, who had been able to get them naked without even a sign of injury in their bodies.
A bit embarrassed, and apprehensive, but they still managed to get up and stand straight in front of the foreigner, who was looking at them with lewd eyes.
It was at that moment, that their Miss seemed to have recollected herself, as she said,
"Stand down, you are not his match!"
But they were shocked when they heard the next line,
"Master please stop playing with them like that, and welcome back!"
