The Legacy System

Eric had a clear questioning and confused expression on his face as he asked that question, but inside he was grinning.

It wasn't that he didn't understand what she meant, or the misunderstanding that was created in her head until now, it was just that he wanted to make her embarrassed and acknowledge it.

As for actually doing the deed with her, the truth was that he didn't want to. Not because she didn't look good enough, of because he pitied her, but because of her loose character.

He had his own limits and boundaries. He wouldn't care if a woman wasn't pure and chaste, as that was nonsense, it wasn't like every woman out there would wait for him.

But he would never start a relationship with a drug addict, or someone that was unable to weather her difficulties and chose the simple path ahead.

He felt that this type of woman was distrust able, as at any moment she could sell him away due to her addictions.

Even if this was her first time taking drugs, Eric saw this whole issue as a no-return path towards self-destruction.

Hearing that question and looking at that expression the beauty was clearly startled, and caught unprepared, as she looked at Eric with a dumbfounded look.

She couldn't help but think that Eric was trying to make this even more difficult for her. She was already on the verge of tears thinking about what would happen, and now he did this.

Still, she knew that she didn't have much of a choice, as the fault was hers for doing something so stupid as screaming towards him earlier, as she said,

"That… I mean for what we came to do here in this hotel room!"

"Oh!? What exactly did we come to do in this hotel room!?"

Was this guy doing some sort of role-playing or was he some kind of stone-headed idiot that couldn't understand the mood and the situation?

That confused and questioning expression on his face made it even more impossible for her to understand what was going on, as she couldn't help but blurt,

"Didn't we come here because you said that you wanted to play with me!?"

"Oh, yeah, I did say that! Well since you are ready then I think that we can proceed with it. I want 1 million dollars, and a villa in Okinawa if you want me to forget this issue!"

"Huh!? Money!? Villa!?"

"Of course money and villa, what do you expect me to ask for, flowers and kisses? How am I supposed to forget the loss of my face and reputation if I don't have money to buy alcohol and eat good food!"

"But didn't I already tell you at the bar that I would give you everything you asked, as long as you told me a figure!?"

"Are you stupid!? How do you accept me to accept something like that in front of all those people? They would think that the honest and honorable me, is just a shameless money gruber!"

The beauty was completely shocked, she would have never believed that this fellow in front of her was able to spout such nonsense with a straight face.

Wasn't he doing just that right now!?

But still, she couldn't help but blurt out,

"Then your words of playing with me!?"

"Aren't I already playing with you? I think I asked too little, and you aren't as shocked as you should be, how about you add another million!"

"Then we didn't come here to do that!?"

"Do what!? I say little girl you are extremely difficult to understand! Just what are you thinking inside that empty head of yours!?"

The beauty's face went beet red as probably every drop of blood in her body gathered on her face, as she was unable to believe herself.

It looked like all her thoughts had been her own misconceptions, and she had been the one to take everything in this direction.

Now that she thought about it, even on the way here Eric didn't even look once at her body, or her curves, she was completely composed and calm.

Even though she didn't consider herself the most beautiful woman in the world, she still had confidence that men would have difficulties holding her back in front of her.

All these thoughts just made her feel even more complicated and ashamed of herself for thinking like that. She couldn't believe herself.

At that moment, Eric pretended to have finally understood what she meant, as he said with an expression of unbelievable on his face,

"Wait! Did you think that I wanted to come here so that I have my way with you!? 

HAHAHAHAHA~!"

The next moment after saying those words he started laughing like a lunatic, without bothering about the gloomy and ugly look on the beauty's face.

At first, the beauty was clearly ashamed and embarrassed at Eric finding out her inner thoughts, but the next moment she went crazy.

What the hell was with that laugh?

Was she that abhorring and ugly to him?

Unable to control her emotions and feelings at that moment, she looked at Eric with a cold look, and said in a chilling tone,

"Why are you laughing? What is so funny about this?"

She seemed to have forgotten her fear towards him at that moment, as her pride as a woman was on the line. Eric pretended to not have noticed her tone or her expression, as he said,

"If not laughing then what should I do? What makes you think that you are worthy of becoming my woman?

Just a stupid, arrogant, racist, and drug addict woman! What makes you think that you are worthy of my efforts and attention?

Besides your dad's money, what else do you have going for you?"

Critical hit!

This was a damn critical hit on the beauty's self-confidence as she didn't expect Eric to say something like that.

She was infuriated and enraged, but there was nothing coming on her mind to say against it. She was so enraged, that she wasn't even able to think how come it was her being worthy right now.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? Shouldn't Eric be the one who is unworthy of having her? But if so, then what did she have to make him unworthy of her.

Beauty? That was just a passing cloud, even if she took extremely great care of herself she would lose it in the next 30 years.

Money? All that was her father's earned money, and she had basically no merit even in one cent of those earnings.

Carrier? She hadn't even graduated from her University, and she had already lost all her motivation to walk forward.

Strength? She was even weaker than an average person, as she couldn't even bear the biting of a mosquito on her skin.

No matter how she looked at herself, she wasn't able to find even one good point about herself. In fact, she realized that she herself didn't like the current her.

Even his insults didn't seem wrong to her, as in fact, they made great sense. No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, what was she if she had ended up in this spot?

She didn't even have the strength to negate that drug addict insult, as she felt that she had already fallen from grace the moment that she had received that 'Elevation Pill'.

Looking at her face, and expression of pondering and realization, even Eric felt a bit weird inside as he felt that he might have crossed the line. So, he tried to give her a way out,

"It's not like you don't have any chance at all though! As long as you manage to take control of your life, and show me results in the next year, I might consider your offer!

Now just get dressed and leave this place, I want what I said ready by tomorrow morning!"

The beauty didn't have the thought or intention of dealing with Eric's shamelessness, at this point, she was in a deep reflection state.

The only thing she understood was that Eric seemed to have dismissed her, and she walked towards the bathroom like a zombie to quickly wear her clothes and disappear.

Eric on the other hand, just watched at her silhouette as she disappeared behind the elevators doors, and sighed to himself while saying in a low voice,

"Sigh~! It can be considered that we have a bit of fate among us, but it's not enough for me to help you right now! Let us see what will happen in the future."

With that said, he immediately took off his clothes and went to prepare his bathtub. According to his estimations, he didn't have much time before the Police broke inside, and he wanted to enjoy his remaining time.

Despite the fact that he had left the crowd baffled and terrified when he left the bar, it was impossible for those people to not have called upon the police after he left.

And even if they didn't call upon the police then Master Dragon Fuji or those bodyguards would certainly show up again to seek trouble with him.

Even though he had already beaten the crap out of them, they had no other choice if they wanted to keep their faces, and their jobs.

Eric could understand all this, but he didn't care about their retaliation. After all, even though he had accumulated the necessary SP points for what he wanted to do, he still wouldn't mind some more.

With those thoughts in mind, he finally jumped inside the warm water bathtub and took out a technique book from his space ring.

It was the 'Erasing Presence' skill that he had been looking for all this time…
