The Legacy System

Chapter 237 - 237: Foresight, Warning, & Master

They didn't even have time to say their last words, all they could do was look at the cold eyes of Fujiwara Hatake, and then everything went black.

While the two of them had been really excited that the discussion had gone their way, the other guard had gone behind them, and done the deed.

It wasn't wrong trying to kill a snake, but the hunter should always be aware of its last poisonous attack. The two of them had clearly not been able to remember that so they were doomed to die.

Seeing the scene play in front of him Fuijiwara Hatake just released another sigh, as he looked towards his daughter, and said,

"Sigh~! Is this enough!?"

The always composed Fujiwara Amane just looked at the bodies that fell in front of her with clear disgust as she said,

"Yes, for the time being this is enough! I will take care of the rest father, you can take a much-needed rest now!"

"What about the explosion!?"

"You think he would have died from that little firework show? I think its more probable that the one who set it up helped him with that."

"You mean…"

"I mean nothing, I am just presuming! Now if I may, I have a lot of things to take care of. Just don't forget to warn everyone to stay away from my west wing without my permission!"

With that said, she stood up and walked out of the small room with a satisfied face. Nobody but her knew what she and Eric had talked during the time they were alone.

One thing was for certain though, Eric had given her some tasks, and missions, and she was doing everything she could to accomplish them.

The moment she left the room, the only guard that was left in there with Fujiwara Hatake couldn't bear anymore as he said,

"Forgive me for my presumptuousness Master, but are you really sure about this!? After all, their words weren't completely without meaning!"

Looking at his most loyal guard, and friend, Fujiwara Hatake let out another sigh, as he said,

"Sigh~! I know that Tuo, but things are much more complicated then it looks like. I am pretty sure that another war will start soon, and we will need a shelter able to protect us from the storm.

All the others have already decided their side, and won't accept us easily, and even if they do we will be nothing more than cannon fodder for them, no matter what they promise us.

That guy is a new figure, and hasn't chosen his army, or selected a side yet. Which means that he most probably will have his own side.

This is a chance, but also a risk to us. We will be the first to pledge our loyalty to him, so either we will grow with him, or we go down the drain with him.

It's not that I don't understand what these two were trying to say, but he was too immature to be the new boss.

Not to mention that he was also petty, and selfish, he would have destroyed our Yakuza in less than a year. That was why I decided to hand everything to that guy!

Furthermore, even my most hated enemy, and beloved friend calls him Master, and he wouldn't do so easily!"

This was perhaps the first time that Fujiwara Hatake elaborated so much one of his decisions, and this was only because he trusted this guard that much.

The guard didn't say anything more, he knew that he had already asked too much, and the truth was that he was still shocked from the information he just received.

At that moment he was reminded once again of why he had followed this guy from the beginning, he was a farsighted person, who would never step on a rotten board.

With that out of his chest, Fujiwara Hatake just took a deep breath and then said,

"Warn everyone to stay away from the West Wing, and tell them to listen to every word and order from Amane.

It seems like she is his chosen new Boss! Make sure to protect her no matter what, she is our only hope at the moment!"

Receiving his orders, the guard disappeared, leaving behind his Master, who was just looking at the bodies in the ground, and the darkness around him.

…

In the meantime, the whole city was going into an uproar as everyone was trying to find the culprit behind the attack.

As a matter of fact, Master Takeshiba had gone out himself, in order to find out the mongrel who had bombed his son-in-law.

It was only around 1 o'clock in the morning when they found the first clue, or to be more exact, the first body, even though there wasn't any.

The guy responsible for the bomb had been disintegrated, yes you read it correctly he was reported to be 'disintegrated' in the eyes of his accomplices.

Who had just been too shocked to even move at the time, as they had shitted and peed on their pants due to the fear.

How did they describe the attacker!? There was no description, they had seen and felt nothing when it had happened, they only saw the bomber disintegrate in front of their eyes.

They were hoping to find the bomber and torture him to reveal the perpetrator, but with him dead, there was no way for them to find who had ordered him.

As they were lost in their thoughts on how to continue from here on, they got another news or clue, the Motohara family's residence had been suddenly set on fire.

No one had seen how it happened, or who did it, when suddenly the whole residence had been set on flames.

Even though the house was being burned to a crisp, no one had died inside the residence, everyone had been safely evacuated, including the pets and fishes.

No one had been injured, but a message was left behind for everyone to see.

"Motohara Family you are responsible! Keep you heads ready, and your necks clean! My Disciple will personally come and deal with you all!"

There was also a warning to the other families in there,

"Nobody should dare touch even a single hair on their bodies, in the meantime!"

  Nobody dared to look at those words casually, as there was a lot of killing intent mixed in them. That was what a warning should look like.

One thing was certain though from that moment on no one would dare to approach the Motohara family, and even less have something to do with them, they were finished.

It was only at that time that Master Takeshiba was reminded of what happened earlier at his pre-office, he remembered how Eric had humiliated that kid, who was Motohara's family Young Master.

But he never had thought that the kid would be so ruthless and such an idiot that would do something like that.

That idiot had gone ahead, and planned a bomb assassination in less than a day. He was either that ruthless, or just that stupid to be used by others.

Just as they were thinking like that, news of another explosion shocked all the people present in there.

Someone had just blown up the offices of one of the biggest organizations in the World Rankings, the Monarchs offices.

Once again, the warning was the same, they were responsible for whatever had happened, and that they would be left to live until Eric himself came up and cut their heads.

In less than 12 hours from the moment that the attempt had happened, not only had all the perpetrators had been found, but they had also been warned.

The most shocking thing though was the fact that no one had seen any trace of the shadow who had done all this tonight.

But reading the warnings they could all understand that it was Eric's Master who had just performed these crazy and shocking feats.

Almost all the time the unknown was scarier and more dangerous than the known, as it was in human nature to expand the issues on their own.

For example, this big show that was set up from Eric's Master was in and of itself a masterpiece. No one was able to understand how someone could simple bomb a place while saving everything inside.

And it wasn't just the Motohara family who was a second-rate family in Japan, but he had also done the same thing with the offices of an organization that was ranked in the World list.

Motohara family was nothing more than an ant, but those guys were a huge wolf, or coyote of the forest.

They would always have at least a high-ranking officer to hold ground of their important locations, and certainly their branch in Tokyo should have someone too.

Yet he was thrown out of the building just like everyone else had, this certainly showed that Eric's Master wasn't some easy figure.

Making everyone rethink their positions, and their deals, as more and more of them became even more determined to strike a deal with Eric once he turned back.

The only question left now were, when was Eric going to get back, and how did he plan to take his revenge!?

As the whole city, and even the whole country was in an uproar, the person responsible for all this, was enjoying a drink, seated in front of some monitors and enjoying the news.

Behind him there was the mother and daughter pair, and two other ladies that were looking at everything with a careful and cautious look.

The whole situation was just too much for them to take in, and understand…
