The Legacy System

Chapter 166 - 166: Second Clue

That guy's words made all the others explode in laughter, as they couldn't bear it anymore, as his words held a sense of truth in them!

Even the two ladies and the stingy owner forgot their situation for a moment as they turned their eyes towards the newest victim in curiosity.

The victim in question, Katsuto Daichi felt really humiliated, and wrathful at that moment, and if he could he would have jumped on the throat of that guy and ripped it.

He felt like he would destroy his family in front of him with his 'non-existent' manhood, and show him if he was a man or a woman.

His eyes went bloodshot, as he was clenching his teeth like he was able to break them into little pieces, as veins started to appear on his face.

But still, there was one thing that stopped him from jumping in anger at that moment, it was the prize of this game! 4 million $!

If he got his hands on that money, then would that fu*ker dare to talk again towards him, or even dare to appear in front of him again.

There were two things that could overturn rivers, and crush mountains in this world, one was power, and the second, was wealth.

These two came hand in hand, and were the clenched fist of every person who acted high and mighty, and wanted to trample over the rest.

Nobody cared about human values, and morals if he had one of these two, as wealth could buy power, and power could produce wealth.

All the people around him were laughing at him at the moment, but if he got 4 million $ then wouldn't that guy be just an ant in front of him?

Most probably he would only need to give him some changes, and he would willingly bring his daughters, and wife to him.

But there was one more problem he had to face before that, which was the masked man in front of him!

This guy was clearly someone he couldn't dare to offend, or even agitate, and that person was his servant, so he had to take permission from him if he wanted to deal with him.

Thinking like this, he took two deep long breaths, and raising his red embarrassed face said in a really cold, and forced tone,

"Esteemed Master, what are the chances of you involving that guy in the prize of this game!?"

Eric was a bit surprised by the sudden request, but he didn't need to think much, this was a great opportunity it was presented to him, and he would surely take advantage of it, as he replied,

"That is doable, only that the price you will have to pay is truly heavy! You will not be allowed to abandon the game after that! None of You!

Are you sure it is worth it!?"

Katsuto Daichi didn't have high hopes for his request, but he was elated hearing that it was doable! As for the condition!? What a joke! He had never planned on stepping down!

What else could be more humiliating than this, but in front of him were 4 million $. Every effort was worth it so that he could put his hands on that money.

Surely, he would come to regret these thoughts later, but right now that was his line of thought, as he just said with a clear happily surprised voice,

"Yes, yes it's worth it!"

He replied hastily in fear that Eric might pull back his words, as that guy's face had turned completely dark and gloomy, as he didn't expect something like this.

He could only look with a pleading look towards his boss, Daisuke, and ask for a remedy, and help. On the other hand, Daisuke just blinked his eye, showing that it was fine, and he didn't need to worry.

With that sign, the man calmed down considerably, but he still felt a bit restless in his heart and was kind of hating himself for making such a comment.

Eric just looked at the other three as well, with a clear questioning look. He had made it clear that they all were together in this.

The two ladies seemed clearly not okay with it and were ready to refuse it, but they were stopped on their tracks by a cold look from the stingy owner, as he said,

"We never thought of giving up Esteemed Master, our goal is winning!"

Hearing that Eric had a good laugh, as he said with a cheerful voice,

"Haha! Very well, just as expected! I must say that I am really pleased with your ambitions, and resolve!

Well, this is the second clue!

All four of you have met me before!"

His words left the four people in front of him with startled, and shocked faces, as they had never thought this possibility.

Surely if they had ever met such a guy they would remember him easily, right!? After all, this person released a pure dominating, and ruling aura.

He felt like a powerful selfish Emperor, playing with the lives of his subjects as if they held no value besides amusing him.

Immediately some names came to their minds, as they all tried to think of the person who most approached this feeling, but none of those guys was this young.

Eric clearly was a young man, most probably a Young Master from a really powerful and wealthy family, but there was no such person in their memories.

All the people that had given them the slightest mimicry of this feeling were either middle-aged men or old men.

With these two clues in front of them, they could do nothing more but try a lucky guess. After all, who knew what he might ask in return for another clue.

Katsuto Daichi and the stingy owner were clearly the people who wanted to find his identity the most, so they were also the first to jump the gun,

"Miura Daichi!" "Miura Daichi!"

"Take Nakano!" "Take Nakano!"

Both these names were the names of two renowned Young Masters from the powerful families, that they had mostly seen once or twice in their lives.

Eric didn't know much about this Take Nakano guy, but Miura Daichi had truly changed after what had happened, so it wasn't a bad conjecture from the four, even though it was mistaken.

What surprised him though, was the fact that even the two ladies who were still covering their bodies, and had tears in their eyes, participated with a name each.

Probably they wanted this to end sooner, or probably they wanted the money, Eric didn't care. It was a good thing that they were participating in the game with their will.

Still, he didn't reply directly, as he looked, and observed them one by one at first, creating a few moments of silence and suspense as he finally said,

"No, I am afraid that you are all wrong! I am neither of them! Now, do you want another clue, or will you have another try?"

The four people in front of him were clearly disappointed that they had made wrong guesses, but there was nothing they could do about it right now.

Having another shot with these clues was easy, but most probably even that would miss the target. The range was either too wide, or inexistent, so they could do nothing but ask for another clue.

They were giving it some really hard thought, but there didn't seem to exist any other way, or idea on how to proceed, as they all looked into each other's eyes for a moment as the stingy owner said,

"Another clue, if you may Esteemed Master!"

Eric was expecting something like this, but no matter what they chose the end would be the same, they would get punished well, as they would never think of the one person he might be!

For that reason, he looked at them with his same calm and playful eyes, as he said,

"Then what do you offer in exchange!?"

This was the true problem for all four of them, as they didn't know what to say, or what to offer. What could make this person in front of them satisfied!?

They had no idea about his preferences or what he was planning to achieve with this game, as they were in only for the money.

But the stingy owner was a truly sly fox when he wanted to, so he said in a bootlicking voice,

"Esteemed Master we don't have any idea on what you might be interested in, so why don't you decide on what do you want, and we will abide by your words!"

He was trying to not only place the responsibility on the masked person, and try to find some other clue on him and his preferences through this, and at the same time create some kind of favorable expression on him.

Eric had given them this leeway only to make them see this as a balanced game, but he would surely not refuse such a 'gift' from those 4, as he said with a questioning look,

"Do you all 4 agree with this!?"

His words had the expected reactions, the ladies were still with teary eyes, and seemed to follow their family leader, while Katsuto Daichi didn't seem to oppose.

Quite on the contrary, he felt that the stingy owner had taken this opportunity from him, as he jumped in with determination,

"Surely, we accept Esteemed Master, after all, you are the organizer of the game, and it's only fair for you to decide!"

Even Eric was getting a bit shocked by the way these two acted, forcing their will on the two ladies, and making them do whatever necessary for the money.

Human greed knows no bounds! But this didn't mean that he would go easy on them, as he said…
