The Legacy System

Chapter 115 - 115: The Ladies Decisions

Akira and Takeshiba Aika were waiting for him at his private box at the Fragrance Hall, this place had turned into his headquarters as he took care of everything important in there.

Not that he minded though, this was the safest and the best place to take care of these issues. He had already cleaned the staff of the restaurant, and all the workers were handpicked by Old Na. ??

With the happenings of the previous day, almost everyone recognized him and his face, especially the staff of the Fragrance Hall.

Old Na had told them that Eric was their big boss from now on and that his words were undisputable, and none of them dared to oppose.

This included the new chefs in the kitchen and all the staff, before starting work they had even signed a secrecy agreement, and whoever spilled any kind of information would be leaving their head behind.

Eric had left everything in the old man's hands, as he was more concentrated on developing himself at the moment, and also searching for the right people.

Today while he was reading about the herbs, and making a modernization and refresh of the information, and the herbs' names, he had also thought of making a list of the people he could recruit.

The list included many names of the people that were able to make a name for themselves after the S-day.

These guys had the potential inside them, and he only needed to find and push them to discover their potential, as he gave them a safe place for them and their family.

But first things first, he needed to start with himself, and the wedding event at the Kirigaya Clan. If he couldn't support his claims, the Council of Five, and the government could change their approach.

At the moment the relationship between him and the Council of Five was a symbiotic relationship towards a possible bigger threat.

But if he could prove that this threat was real, then they might think it was all a play, and start attacking him.

If there was no such threat, Eric would be just a poor man who was carrying Jade, and this would be his biggest crime.

In that case, they would either capture and use him and his stuff or decide to get rid of a possible threat. No one would unnecessarily let a thorn grow in their backyard.

Eric was extremely aware of his fragile situation at the moment, even though he had already an agreement with the Council that was just a piece of paper, which no one would recognize.

The only thing making that agreement possible at the moment was the interest that each side held, if that interest was weakened or disappeared, so would the agreement.

With these thoughts in mind, Eric reached his private box at the Fragrance Hall, where the mature and hot Akira, and the fresh and sexy Takeshiba Aika were waiting for him.

The moment that he opened the door and entered inside the duo seemed like frightened cats, who were awakened from their deep sleep.

Takeshiba Aika seemed to be a bit confused, and complicated but determined in her decision, while Akira looked really insecure and undecided.

Upon seeing that it was Eric they clearly relaxed a lot, as they looked towards each other to gather a bit more will and determination, as they started speaking.

The first to speak was Takeshiba Aika, she was the young one, but she couldn't wait to say her part as she said,

"Everything happened so suddenly, and so hastily that I still don't truly understand what is going around me right now.

After what happened at the warehouse and feeling your slave seal on me, I had decided to do my best to serve you, hoping to discover a new world I didn't know existed.

I, myself don't understand how quickly I got into that decision, or how much of that decision was my free will, but that doesn't change the fact that I did make that decision.

I was ready to live my life for you, and even die for you. But then seeing all that blood flow like a river I was truly frightened and couldn't help but step back.

At that moment you were like a Death God and it seemed like life held no meaning in front of you, and I was truly frightened for myself, even though I was ready to live and die for you.

I knew your situation and the result if you stopped what you were doing, but still, I felt frightened and insecure by seeing that.

I thought that I wouldn't be able to live with that, and I still don't think I will ever be able, but seeing you in a dangerous situation, or thinking of a life without you, scared me more than that blood, and gore."

Saying all this, she stopped for a moment to allow Eric to process her words, but also to better compose her thoughts and her next words, as she continued after a small pause,

"What I am trying to say is that I don't know if I will be able to live with that much blood, or get used to that blood, or if I will be able to touch that blood!

But I know that a world without you or without being able to be by your side frightens me much more than that.

For that reason, I have decided to stay by your side and try it. Perhaps I will be able to stand by your side, and perhaps I won't, but I don't want to give up!"

Saying all this she was finally able to take a deep breath, and relax for a bit as her eyes got stuck on Eric's face, waiting to see a reaction or hear something from him.

She had said all these things without interruption, and for some time wasn't able to make sense of them herself, but that didn't matter right now, what mattered was if Eric could make sense of them.

And she wasn't disappointed when she saw Eric give her a warm light smile of acceptance, as he said,

"I am sure that you will be able to stand beside me in the future, and your achievements will surpass even your wildest dreams and imagination!"

Hearing that, Takeshiba Aika felt like a huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders, as she jumped on his embrace, and gave him a deep French kiss.

Eric responded to her kiss for a moment, as then he broke their kiss, and looking towards Akira he said in a warm voice,

"What about you Akira?"

Akira seemed to be calmer and gathered after what happened, as that weird cold atmosphere inside the box had clearly been weakened a lot.

Earlier while hearing Takeshiba Aika's words she had truly felt like she was speaking her mind, as even for her everything had happened way too fast, and she still didn't understand what was going on.

She was still undecided a moment ago but hearing Takeshiba Aika's decision and words, she felt like they truly made sense and it was the best decision for the moment.

The more she heard that young girl talk, the more she felt like she wasn't the older and more mature woman in the room.

But leaving all that aside, the important thing was that now she finally had a better decision than her insecurity and indecisiveness.

With those thoughts in mind, she decided to speak her mind as she said,

"At first I still wasn't decided, and probably would have given up on this. This whole situation, and what happened frightened me.

Truth to be told even the cruelest thought for revenge in my head didn't approach what I saw in there, and my revenge was the reason I lived for.

But now hearing what this little girl said in front of me, and thinking more into her words, I understood that we are in the same position, and thoughts.

I don't know why, and neither do I understand why, but a world without you deeply frightens me. So my decision is exactly the same as hers, I will try to be by your side."

Eric wasn't surprised by her words, as he clearly had noticed this when he came in here, or while he heard Takeshiba Aika speak. At this moment he was just grateful that Takeshiba Aika spoke first.

Looking towards her with the same light warm smile that he gave Takeshiba Aika a moment ago, Eric said in a gentle voice,

"I can assure you, this is the best decision you could make right now! In the future, you will look back to this, and be really grateful for this decision!"

Akira didn't understand why, but felt like Eric's words were the indisputable truth of the future. The most important part was that at the moment she felt really relieved.

Her life goal had swayed a bit, her desire for revenge hadn't faded in the least, but she was slowly building a desire for a life beyond her revenge.

She still was at a crossroad as her decision was still not firm yet, but she still felt a bit expectant of the future, as he entered Eric's embrace together with Takeshiba Aika.

And how could they better express their happiness, and enthusiasm for those decisions, than a hot steamy battle with their bodies!

What happened was a new experience for Takeshiba Aika, as she had lost her purity only a few days back, and now she was enjoying the attention from her man and another woman.

But even though this was a new experience for her, she was able to quickly adapt to it, and not only enjoy it for herself, but also pleasure her man.

Nonetheless, the battle finished with Eric's undisputed victory…
