The Legacy System

Chapter 188 - 188: Containers & Strong Will

Most probably they were separated according to gender because the first container carried more than 1000+ people. They were all males of different ages, ranging from 7 to 70.

Most of these guys seemed useless, skinny, unfed, and really badly treated. Their bodies were covered in blacks and bruises, as their clothes were in tatters.

It was a real heart-wrenching view for a normal person, but not for Eric. Looking at this scene he just thought that these guys were the biggest dumb asses he had seen.

These people were cowards, as not only they seemed to have accepted their fate, but at the same time, the majority of them seemed to be wishing for a quick death, as their salvation from misery.

These weak trashes, without heart and personality, were certainly not worthy of his time, and even thought.

Fortunately, not everyone was the same, as there were around 80 people who seemed to still have a dreg of will, and spirit inside them.

Still, Eric was disappointed because the ratio was just too low. In more than 1000+ people, only 80 of them appeared to still have their souls inside their personas, not even 10% of whole the people.

This certainly came as a big shock to him, but there wasn't much he could do about it either. People had ways to give rebirth to the human body, but not his soul, and spirit.

That was a part that no one seemed able to find a remedy to, at least until the present times, as who knew what the future would hold.

Still, he had to be happy for at least finding these people, as right now he was ready to accept any extra pair of arms that he could find.

Without losing time he immediately sent all the 80+ people in there a simple message.

'I can help you escape this place, and help you become stronger. Strong enough to take revenge and kill anyone you wish to.

But careful as there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. In return, I want your loyalty, body, and soul!

If you want this opportunity, then just knock once lightly to the container."

With that done, he just stayed quiet, letting them think for a while as he waited for their light knocks on the container.

The reason Eric had risked doing something like this and didn't think that these guys would be able to snitch at the guards was that they were all outside, and the container was locked.

Their interaction with the world outside of the container was totally down, and there was no way that they would be able to do something like this without him even knowing about it.

So he could calmly wait for the light knocks that the interested people would make inside. This time he didn't get disappointed, as more than 80% of them had accepted his offer.

With that out of the way, Eric approached the second container, which was filled with young, and colorful girls, and ladies, ranging from 13 to 45!

Each one of the girls, or ladies inside the container was more than average in their looks, forms, and shapes.

In fact, a few of them seemed to be even better than that, as they were one level above, more than average.

Too bad though that the situation was almost the same with the one inside the other container, as the vast majority of the ladies considered death as their only salvation.

Weak bi*tches that weren't able to have enough self-esteem. Eric truly hated these guys that gave up on life without trying enough.

From the creation of it, life was difficult, there were times when humans could even lit a fuc*king lighter, or have salt in their foods, but this didn't make them give up on their lives.

There were only a handful of people that were lucky enough to receive anything without bothering too much or working for their success.

The rest would always fight for their rights and life. Eric himself was one of the guys who had to fight hard to get where he stood today, but he had never thought of giving up.

Perhaps these ladies had a much more difficult and shity life than he did, but still, that was no excuse to give up. After all the biggest dangers are accompanied by the greatest opportunities.

Still, he didn't have much time to think about it, so he immediately did the same with them as he did with the men's section.

His idea and plan were clear, he would care only for the ones that had accepted his offer. The others were just extra burden that he had no interest in, and they could die any moment, and he would not care.

Still, he had managed to make a big haul this time as he had been able to have found more than 130 new soldiers for his army.

While the amount wasn't the greatest or the best, it was still a nice start to his army, as this group of people was the first basis of his foundation, and army.

With these thoughts in mind, he just gave them another short look through his spirit sense and then once again started making the rounds, waiting for the best moment to strike.

Since this was a big deal involving a lot of money, he would be more than happy to have a look at them, and see if he could make a killing today.

Money and people were never enough for anyone that wanted to build something, and even more so in the case of Eric who was thinking of building an Empire, and a really strong army.

It was these kinds of thoughts, that made him hide in one place waiting for the important people to finally appear in there.

Even though a lot of time had passed already, he still had to wait for around an hour or so, for the important people to finally show up.

On one side was a burly man who seemed to have eaten all his siblings when he was born. But while he was jam-packed he wasn't fat either.

It looked like all that was just his natural muscles and his natural figure. He was followed behind by two other guys, who fortunately or unfortunately were only half as big as their boss was.

All three of them had a really weird, and complicated look on their face, that clearly involved a lot of bad intentions, and maliciousness.

It was more than clear that these were not good guys, in fact saying that was an understatement. These guys seemed like proper ruthless scum bags.

Opposite them was standing a young man, around Eric's age, with a face covered by a mask, and a tall and strong standing in front of them.

Behind the Young Man there was a little crowd of people, including a butler, and five bodyguards, all having their faces covered by masks.

It was clear who was more afraid of this situation, and more apprehensive of what might happen, but still, they came forward and hugged each other.

It was a bear hug, as it looked like the two of them were old friends, meeting after a long time.

Still, there was something on their faces, and their expressions, that made Eric think that these guys were not sincere with each other.

Not that he cared much about it, what was important for him at the moment was where was the money he had been waiting for.

Of course, the itinerary of the two sides was already decided, as they would go to have a check at the merchandise before doing the buy.

Eric had no choice but to accept something like this and wait patiently for his moment. This increased the chances of him being betrayed by the people inside but he didn't care much.

After confirming that both sides have at most a level 35 fighter according to his systems evaluation, he was more than confident of handling them with ease.

But now wasn't the time to move yet, as he was curious, and concentrated on trying to find the identity behind the young man's mask.

Even though he was unable to see anything behind it, and couldn't even tell a detail of that guy's face, he had a weird feeling of knowing him.

More than knowing him, it was a feeling of having met him somewhere, but he couldn't remember where.

But there was nothing he could do at the moment, he would just have to wait until he captured him and everyone else later, to find his identity, and the reason for his extra swag.

With these thoughts in mind, he just followed the group with his spirit sense, as he was afraid that he would be discovered once he moved from his position.

If that happened then certainly his fate would be nothing good. In fact, most probably he wouldn't even have a fate to talk about.

For that reason, he was also unable to hear their conversations and plans as they talked back and forth without a care in the world.

He was thinking that even if they knew about his presence they would have probably continued to talk in that manner.

Right now all they cared about was their respective gains from these deals, as they were approaching the two containers.

As soon as they reached there, the young man opened the door and started looking one by one at the merchandise inside the containers while that fat guy was just standing there with a smile on his face.

He was so happy just imagining the possible benefits of this deal. Who could blame him, as there were 500 million $ in the game…
