The Legacy System

Weng Hao's spatial artifact was quite filled actually, as there were a lot of diamonds, money, and gold. Just their value was approximate to a few hundred millions of dollars.

Normally a big family would have most of their assets invested in different businesses and companies in order to increase their profits and get wealthier. They rarely kept money in cash.

This meant that Master Weng Hao either had some sort of strange hobby or he had just received this sum of money and had yet to make use of it.

Which was a bit weird to think about, as he must have spent a fortune buying those Blood Exhaustion Pills, and that Berserker Pill for himself.

Besides the money there 2 more Berserker Pills, and 41 Blood Exhaustion Pills, alongside some other old herbs, and materials.

Not only that but there was also the Weng Family's martial arts, and also some of their secret techniques, that they had accumulated through the years.

There were also a few guns and weapons, including a pair of special alloy talons, and a few golden pistols. It looked like this old man had quite the style.

Since they were all good quality Eric decided to keep a few things to himself and distribute the rest to his subordinates and slaves.

The money was going to Master Ito, Kuro, and the Nightless City. According to the latest news those guys were advancing by leaps and bounds, but at the same time evaporating money like smoke.

As he was thinking like that, suddenly the sleepy cat in his bed woke up, gave a quick rub to her eyes, got out of the covers, and went for her phone.

She was completely naked, but that didn't seem to matter, as the young Chef Chen in front of her had already seen whatever there was to see, and more.

What she didn't expect though, was the fact that the moment she picked up her phone she would find more than 10 messages and calls from her organization, and more than a hundred notifications.

Normally the people from her organization wouldn't call or text her easily even if it was to confirm the status of the target and the mission.

So receiving 10 of them in a single night only was something that completely shocked her. The more she read the more shocked she became.

She hadn't expected that as she was having fun with her new Master, something like this had actually happened in the city.

Still, there was something that she couldn't help but remember, the previous night when he had arrived young Chef Chen reeked in blood and sweat.

Looking closer at the timing of everything that happened, and even the arrival of her Master, her intuition couldn't help but point at the fact that he had something to do with this.

"You are right, it was my doing!"

As she was lost in those thoughts, the young Chef's voice rang from behind her, giving the answer to the question that she was thinking the hardest. Like he was able to read her thoughts.

Well, she wasn't that far off the mark as after becoming his slave, Eric was able to 'understand' her inner thoughts, emotions, and feelings through the slave seal.

Still, that caught the beauty by surprise as she couldn't help but scream,

"Stop reading my thoughts!"

Hearing that the young Chef's face and expression suddenly changed and plummeted, as he said in a heavy and solemn tone,

"This is the first and last time you talk to me like that!

I am your Master, not your lover! You better understand that first if you don't want to suffer later!"

The beauty was clearly surprised by the reaction she received but at the same time for some reason, she was truly frightened.

She could feel that the young Chef Chen in front of her was extremely serious with what he said, and she had no other option but to lower her head,

"Ye-Yes Master!"

"Very well, then make sure to tell your organization that the one behind all this was Cui Xie and his mysterious Master!

Also, tell them that you were unable to determine his Realm, but that is most certainly high!"

"Ye-Yes Master!"

"Good girl, now let us go to work!"

With that said, young Chef Chen turned around and walked out of his room, and towards the kitchen just like any other day.

It seemed like he didn't care about what had happened the other night, or that he had any relation to it whatsoever.

Just because he didn't, it didn't mean that the whole Mansion didn't though. As even though things seemed to be going well, everyone was whispering, chatting, and rumors all the time.

Most of their rumors and whispering were connected to the owner of the Mansion and its standing, as everyone knew about the feud between the Cui siblings and Master Gao Jixie.

In fact, the weirdest part was that their Master had left the hospital a few days ago and was nowhere to be found.

There were a lot of people who thought that most probably Cui Xie had killed their Master too, only that he had done so without leaving traces.

There were also others who said that Master Gao Jixie had run away and was hiding or had just left everything behind to save his life.

Still, as long as Madam Li was in this house, they had the confidence and security to stay here without fear.

Surely Cui Xie wouldn't dare to anger the Li Family of Wenzhou. That would be just like a little cat trying to pick a fight with a tiger.

Hearing all those rumors, the young Chef Chen firstly went towards the kitchen, only to see the same situation there as well.

The only one who stood out different was Chef Guo who was actually sneakier than ever and at the same time a bit more excited and relieved.

It didn't take much of an effort to understand what was going on, as he most probably thought that things would be easier for his lover to rob the wealth of Gao Jixie, with him out of the picture now.

He probably felt like Heaven was pitying him and was helping him to achieve his goal even quicker.

Young Chef Chen pretended to not notice the situation around him, as he looked at the staff around him while saying,

"Everybody we are paid to cook, and not to deal with rumors and fake news! Furthermore, none of this matters to us, as long as we get paid! So, we better start cooking!"

No matter how much they might love rumors and continue with what they were doing the staff couldn't help but follow the lead of the young Chef and start cooking.

As usual Madam Li came to the table, and this time didn't sit in her normal seat, but at the head of the table. The seat for the head of the family.

There were quite a few unhappy faces, expressions, and gazes thrown at her by some of the male cousins, but none of them dared to say a word.

The fear of the Li family didn't exist only to the outsiders, but even to the people of the family. Without a good backer, none of them would dare to make a sound.

Looking at everyone with a solemn and heavy expression, Madam Li said in a deep voice,

"Everyone better stop spreading unfounded rumors and look only after doing your jobs!"

The whole staff, maids, servants, butlers, were unable to say another word, as they all lowered their heads in fear and fault.

The only one who seemed undaunted by all this was probably only young Chef Chen, who looked at the kitchen staff and said,

"Everyone continue with serving the breakfast! Surely the Madam and the others are hungry!"

It was a bit weird as not even a few moments had passed after Madam Li's words, and she seemed to be a bit displeased with the young Chef, but at the same time, a new pair of eyes were focused on him.

It was a new face, or to be more exact it was an old face that he was seeing only for the second time. It was the beautiful lady that had accompanied Madam Li the first time he had met with her.

Most probably, she was someone from the Li family, this was the first time that Eric was actually paying attention to this beauty.

What surprised him the most though, was the way she was looking at him. Full of curiosity, excitement, and desire to know him better.

Was this woman that easy to get, or could it be that she had some sort of interest in him? But why? This was only the second time they were seeing each other!

Well, it didn't matter much anyway, he was going to cross that bridge when it came to him. As of right now, he was more interested in another figure.

Madam Li seemed to have noticed his gaze towards the lady beside her, and even seemed displeased by it.

There seemed to be a great desire inside her to reproach him about his audacity and even scream at him, but she couldn't.

Firstly her position as the head of the family didn't allow her, and secondly, it would become a scandal if she did.

Young Chef Chen could only smile ruefully as he saw something like this happen, while he waited for these guys to finish breakfast.

But it seemed like this breakfast wouldn't be that simple, as all of a sudden one of the male cousins actually cleared his throat and said,

"Ahem…, Aheem…
