The Legacy System

Chapter 207 - 207: Bet

As soon as he was going to pull the trigger though, his sight became blurry and then went totally dark, as he fell on the ground without firing the shot.

With that guy out of the way, Inuhara Muto disappeared once again, as he made his way towards the last sniper alive, knocking him out too.

With his job done, he immediately sent the signal to Eric, who was tired of playing around with the dead guys in front of him and decided to wrap things up.

In less than a minute each and every one of the guys attacking him was not only dead but had also disappeared from existence.

There was no sign of them even existing, not even a drop of blood, or thread of air, they were totally gone.

Eric quickly stored the death pill in his inventory and then started checking the dead guys' cars, and equipment, as he waited for Inuhara Muto to arrive.

It didn't take long for the guy to appear, as he came dragging 6 bodies with him, and carrying three 7.62 NATO snipers, and three RPGs with 2 rounds each.

It was clear that whoever was behind this, had thought hard about it, and had made a sure-proof plan, the only problem was that Eric's strength had been completely out of his expectations.

After all, who would have thought that a nobody without a past, had the strength that Eric had, it was totally unbelievable.

Even Inuhara Muto had to accept that against those guys that attacked Eric he would have completely lost, and died.

According to Eric's clairvoyance sight, and system's estimations, he was a level 32 fighter, but even he didn't think he would win.

Seeing Eric deal with them easily, and dodging the snipers was nothing short of amazement, and shock for him.

Eric didn't seem to care much about him at the moment though, as he only looked at the bodies he was dragging along and said,

"You should be a bit more considerate of ladies, you know!?"

Inuhara Muto was still shocked by the fact that there was nobody in the whole area, and the only sign of fighting was their destroyed car, so he was startled and confused hearing those words.

"Huh!?"

Eric seemed to be surprised by his answer to, as he said with a cool but questioning tone,

"You know that 2 of the 3 snipers you are dragging around are ladies, right!?"

Inuhara Muto was a bit startled at first, but then he had a cold look on his face, as he said,

"What difference does that make, they were trying to kill us!?"

Eric clearly understood what he meant, and in fact, he had killed quite a few ladies himself earlier, it was just that there wasn't any sign of danger anymore, and they had quite developed bodies.

It would be a shame if he didn't have some fun with them. He might even get some valuable information from them!

Last but not least, he could even turn them into his slaves and have them work for him. Right now, he was lacking professionals, and two professional snipers were more than welcomed.

Certainly, he wouldn't turn them into slaves immediately, as he would first try to make some deal with them, but that option would always be on the table.

With that thought on his mind, he said with a calm, and natural face,

"I know they did, but that doesn't matter anymore! Now, these two are just my prisoners, so I will be taking care of them from now on."

Inuhara Muto was surprised and confused with his words, and actions, but he decided to not bother more with that matter, as he changed the subject,

"Judging from their skills, and their weapons, these guys are pros. Probably from some mercenary group, or some agency!

It would be difficult to make them talk!"

Eric heard him calmly, as he only looked at the bodies on the ground with a cool look, as he said,

"I don't think so! They will be singing everything we want in less than 5 minutes!"

Inuhara Muto was a well-trained agent of the Supernatural Division, and their training was even harsher than the one that secret agents went through.

They not only trained their bodies, but also their hearts, and minds. Each one of them had gone through torture simulations, and pain in order to become who they were.

These experiences had also given them a discerning look towards those that had gone through the same hell as them, or people who had the same mental fortitude as them.

Even though he was sure he could make them talk, he would still need more than an hour to say in the least, yet Eric was saying just 5 minutes, that was preposterous!

There was no way that something like that would be even possible. He knew that he was weaker, and inferior to Eric in strength, but he couldn't accept something so illogical.

On the other hand, Eric didn't seem to care about his dubious expression, as he said with a teasing voice,

"If you truly don't think it's possible, then why don't we make a bet!?"

Even though Inuhara Muto could understand that this was all Eric's ploy to get to him, he still couldn't let it go. He was sure Eric wouldn't be able to make them talk in less than 5 minutes!

Thinking like that, he said with a confident harrumph,

"Hmph~! What are we betting!?"

Eric didn't think that it would be so easy to throw this guy off track, but nonetheless, he was happy with the results, as he said,

"If I win you will do only as I say for one week! Don't worry I won't ask you to reveal any secret information or betray your agency, or country!

If you win, I will give you a new manual, and it would be your decision if you hand it over to the agency, or keep it only for yourself!

What do you think!?"

The conditions were good, in fact too good. There was no reason for him to refuse, it was only one week of obedience in front of a priceless manual.

Not to mention, the possibility of him losing the bet was almost infinitely close to zero, so basically it was as if he was receiving a gift from Eric.

At that moment he couldn't stop from dreaming his glorious return to the agency, and also the faces of his colleagues, and especially the ladies in the office.

At the end of the day, he wasn't a piece of wood, there were many ladies he had locked upon, and couldn't wait to put them under him.

If he brought a manual to the agency, he was sure to earn a lot of attention, and respect, as he might even get a promotion.

As for keeping it for himself, he had never thought about it, after all the debt he owed to Uncle Satoru and this country was just too big.

He was one of those totally loyal idiots, that would always think of their country, and others before themselves.

As his mind was poisoned like that, he didn't want to lose time and risk Eric change his mind, as he directly said,

"I accept!"

Hearing those two words Eric seemed to be really happy, and satisfied with the results, as he put his hand forward and said,

"It's a deal then!"

Inuhara Muto accepted the handshake, as he continued,

"Yes, it's a deal, there is no taking back later!"

Eric couldn't believe his luck right now, as he just nodded his head, with a devilish grin on his face, giving the poor guy a chill down his back, as he let go of his hand, and went towards its targets.

Inuhara Muto was still feeling the residues of that chill from a moment ago, but then remembering something, he moved quickly past Eric and stopped in front of the 6 captives slapping them hard.

The slaps woke them up, but none of them could move as he had tied them up really well earlier. 

The 6 of them could only look with shock and fear at their 'supposed to be targets', as they heard the guy who seeming had slapped them, say,

"Here I woke them up for you, you can't negate our deal later making excuses that they weren't awake yet!"

Hearing that Eric started laughing out loud, wasn't this guy a bit too confident in this bet? Did he truly think that victory was his?

If Eric hadn't been confident in his abilities, or methods, would he have made a bet with such a high stake, as a manual?

One had to understand that while that thing wasn't really rare to him, it was nonetheless a pricey article. He hadn't gone crazy to spend that many SP points just making a rough guess.

Only after he had had his share of fun and laugh, did he finally stop, and said,

"Don't worry, I keep my promises, and honor my deals! Don't know if I can say the same thing for you though, but I guess I will find out after 5 minutes!"

Inuhara Muto was clearly not happy with Eric's laugh, and boasting, as he said with a displeased voice,

"Hmph~! Shameless boasting!"

Eric didn't seem to care about his reproach though, as he just looked at the 4 guys in front of him, tracking his prey, as he said to Inuhara Muto,

"Set the time then, and let us see…
