The Legacy System

Eric:" If he overpasses his bounds, or proposes something he shouldn't, bear with it for once and tell me. I will make sure he never does that again!"

The redhead was a bit surprised at his words, but she understood what he meant. These days it was difficult to trust people, no matter what they represented or who they were. ​​

This was a clear example of that!

The redhead just nodded her head to show she acknowledged and understood his order. Satisfied with this simple nod, Eric handing her over 30$, said his last words,

Eric:" Very well, here is the money for the motel today. As for your payment, I will deposit it personally later tonight.

Tell him that today is a special occasion!"

Without caring much about her reaction he pointed in one direction, and said in her ear,

Eric:" He is walking in this direction, 30 meters away. You can recognize him by his weight, his name is Ginka."

With that said, he turned around, took Tina's hand, and started walking out of the red district. There was no reason for him to meet with Ginka.

Especially seeing that foolish happy look he had on his face from 40 meters away. It would surely be a weird situation, not to mention that Tina was by his side.

Not turning his head back even for a moment, Eric continued to walk with Tina side by side. While they were walking, Eric suddenly said,

Eric:" How about you get that 3000$ for me now, little dog. I don't have much time to lose around with you."

Saying that he stopped in front of an ATM, it was clear that he wouldn't accept no for an answer. Seeing no other choice, Tina got close to the ATM, but there was one problem right now.

Eric would be just beside her while she checked out the money, so he could see the amount on her card at that moment.

The good thing was that she always kept a bank card with only 5000$ for emergency expenses, and the rest of her money was safe in another account.

But still, the numbers wouldn't match, because she had told him she only had 3000$. Left with no choice though, she placed the card and thought about being fast fingers.

Too bad that her plan didn't work out and Eric was able to see her account balance. Looking at her with an amused look, Eric said with a teasing voice,

Eric:" And here I was wondering why you looked so anxious, it seems that you have been lying to me, little dog.

Punishment is clearly on the way, but do you think I should go back on our deal?"

Those words were worse than a death sentence to Tina, so immediately she pressed the button of taking all her money in the account, and giving it all to Eric she said frightened,

Tina:" Please forgive me, Master, it was a mistake on my part. Please, Master! I will do anything you say, please forgive me!"

Looking at her panicky and anxious state, Eric just gave her a grin and said,

Eric:" Well let me think about it, but there is no way you are escaping punishment little dog."

At this moment Tina didn't care about her punishment, the only thing she cared about was that Eric didn't go back on his word with her.

All the time during their walk back home, Tina was looking at Eric's face with the hope of finding what he had decided for her.

But all she could see in his face was just plain, calm expression, with a slight smile on his face.

As a matter of fact, right now Eric was looking at his stats, and points he had earned for the day. He had done the daily routine and extra training today so he had gotten a good haul of points.

Today he had managed to secure a good 31 experience points and the equivalent of SP. With these points, he had been able to level up to level 4.

He had gained +1 to almost all of his stats at the moment. And at the same time his SP had gotten to a good 56, he was slowly getting closer to that 300 SP that he needed.

He was surprised for a moment because normally today he had earned only 21 Exp points from training and the same should be for SP, and yet he had 31 of both of them.

Looking carefully at the notifications, he noticed two notification different from the usual ones.

! Congratulations to the Host for knocking out a weak opponent. The host receives 5 Exp points and 5SP for this feat!

It should be about those guys earlier, that were trying to impose themselves on Tina. But that wasn't the important thing here.

The important thing was that he could win Exp points and SP points by knocking out opponents. It was the same logic as defeating someone in video-games.

This brought him another idea! There were underground fights happening all the time in this city, if he managed to fight in those, he wouldn't just win extra money, but also Exp, and SP.

At the same time, those places would be a great place for him to start gaining some fighting experience and reflexes for this new body of his.

That was the reason for that slight smile on his face, he had just found an Exp, and SP golden mine, that he couldn't wait to start mining.

While Eric was in his own world planning how to enter the underground fighting's, and his schedule, they had arrived in their neighborhood.

Tina had to shake his arm, to wake up Eric from his reverie. On the other hand, Eric was a bit annoyed to have been awakened startled like that, and said full of displeasure,

Eric:" Little dog, apparently you still don't know how to treat your Master! That's not a pleasant way to gain my attention!

From now on if you want my attention you better do something that would please me. I am leaving that to you how to do it, but if you don't do it properly next time…

Well, let's say that you will suffer a little. Do you understand!?"

Tina didn't dare to delay her answer, knowing that her situation was already not good, so displeasing her Master more would bring only suffering upon her.

Tina:" Ye..yes Master, I will try my best."

Satisfied that his little dog toy had started to understand her position, Eric said with a teasing tone,

Eric:" Then how about you make a try now!"

Tina was caught unprepared, but she couldn't delay it, she had to do something, and since her Master was a man, she took his hand and placed it in her soft pillows, and started to lick it.

While she did that, she kept calling in a gentle voice,

Tina:" Ma..master!"

If in Tina's place would be Yoshida Gina or Tatsuya Minami, Eric would surely feel extremely happy right now. But since it was only Tina, he said with a tone of being slightly impressed,

Eric:" Not bad! You seem like you can do it once you put your mind to it.

Now tell me what do you want little dog."

Tina was a bit mad that all this try earned her was just an impressed look and voice, but there was nothing she could do. Trying to calm herself, she said,

Tina:" We have arrived in our neighborhood, so it would be better that people didn't see us together."

Looking around Eric could easily notice that they had arrived in their neighborhood, and said plainly,

Eric:" You are right, so go ahead and enter our apartment first, I have something to take care of."

Tina didn't know what this demon was planning to do next, but she couldn't go behind him either, so she just started to walk towards the apartment, even though curious as hell.

Eric just looked over her from behind until she entered the building and then started walking around the neighborhood.

Right now, there was only one thought on his mind, farming some Exp, and SP points from the drunkards, and junkies of the neighborhood.

Walking around aimlessly, he was just looking for any drunkard or junkie he could find on the road. To him they were just like blind chickens, ready to be butchered.

His luck seemed to be good because he hadn't been wandering for more than 2 minutes, when he came across, some of his little brother's idiot friends.

There were three of them, and they were all three extremely drunk, ready to drop down anytime. Better opportunity than this he wouldn't be able to find.

So taking off his jacket and placing it over his head, in order for them to not recognize him as to not attract unnecessary trouble, he made for the nearest alley to wait for them there.

And they didn't disappoint, in a short time, they started walking past the alley without any equilibrium at all, talking about something with passion.

Eric didn't want to lose time with them, and was ready to knock them out when he heard one of them say,

Guy #1:" You guys know that if Daise wasn't f*cking his mom, he wouldn't be able to be Daise's right hand.

I hate that guy so much, he has been having fun with Mina all day, every day. And Daise also decided to introduce him to the big boss next week.

Damn that b*tch of a mother he has is really doing everything for him."

But he couldn't continue more because a chop on the back of his neck knocked him out, and right after his two other friends also fell on the ground beside him.

Hearing his words about Tina, Eric wasn't surprised in the least, it was something he already knew. But there was one thing that surprised him.

Apparently, Daisuke's boss was coming to their neighborhood next week, and it was surely because of some important work.

He was curious to know what it was but most important he was tempted to…
