The Legacy System

Chapter 308 - 308: Quick Hands Organization

To them it was perhaps even worse than a nightmare, as one moment they were thinking of the riches, and their life after this hit, while the next moment they were all on the ground unconscious.

Once he had decided to act, Eric wouldn't pull his punches anymore.

So, the two out of three men were already dead and disposed of, the only living member of the 4 was that big sister type lady and a random trash from the guys.

First of all, she wasn't bad to the eye, and Eric thought that it would be quite the experience to have her service him.

Secondly, he had to know just with whom he had picked a fight with, and their story, so he had to let one or two of them alive for questioning.

The role of the second alive trash was to confirm or negate her answers and make sure that she wasn't lying to him.

When she finally woke up, Eric had brought her far away from the place where he knocked her out. They were in a dark cave, and Eric was just roasting some meat.

Looking at her wake up, with a weird look of not knowing where she was, Eric just said in a natural voice,

"How do you want to do this!?"

"Do what!?"

"Well, while I wouldn't say no if you want to have some fun with me, what I care the most about at the moment is information.

So, are you willing to answer my questions, as I ask politely, or would you like it the rough way? I can adapt to whatever you like!"

"Where are my other colleagues!?"

"Shark food!"

"What?"

"Shark food! Now would you like to join them!?"

"No!"

"Very well then, you better answer truthfully!

Now, who are you guys, and what were you doing there?"

"We are agents of 'Quick Hands' organization. We heard a story about there being a lot of treasures, and valuable objects here, so we came here to try our luck.

At first, we just wanted to try our luck, perhaps we would find the treasure or some valuable stuff, but even after two weeks of search, we found nothing in here.

Seeing the situation around, and many people kill each other and rob, we decided to copy the modus operandi and started trapping lone newbies.

We only acted when we made sure that the target was alone and weaker than us, so there wouldn't be any repercussions to us.

Until we met you!"

'Quick Hands' organization was a relatively small organization that occupied more in stealing and smuggling.

These guys didn't have much strength, but they sure knew how to steal, and smuggle through the customs.

But after the S-day happened, these guys disappeared just like many other small organizations, and no one remembered them after.

The only reason why Eric knew about them, was because in his previous life he had found their headquarters by coincidence, and embezzled quite the fortune from there.

So, he didn't feel much hostility towards the lady, after all, even though she had thought of killing him, it was something normal in this kind of world and business.

It wasn't like Eric's wealth and strength were fully clean either. As long as one participated in this dog eats dog world, then their hands were automatically drenched in blood, and other peoples sweat.

Inside he was satisfied with the woman's answer, and the fact that she didn't force him to torture her, but that didn't mean that he trusted her words by default.

Leaving the meat roasting on the small fire at his feet, he calmly got up, went close to her, and said,

"Open your mouth!"

The lady didn't understand what he was planning to do, but she didn't dare to disobey him at the moment, as she opened her mouth wide.

Before she could understand why Eric asked her to do something like that, Eric took out a gag ball, and stuffed it inside, as it then tied it behind her head.

"Aaahhhmmm iisssnnnnnn dddiiiisssnnn~!"

She was unable to speak properly with that gag-ball inside her mouth, and she wanted to know what was going on, but Eric didn't seem to care about her thoughts, as he said in a low voice,

"Wait here for a moment, I have something I need to do!"

With that said, he got up from her, and then went towards the other guy inside the small cave, and gave him a kick to awaken him with fear and startle.

Different from the lady, this guy wanted to jump with fear, but unfortunately, it was impossible for him to do something like that, as his hands and legs were tied up.

Not only that but there was also a gag ball inside his mouth prepared in advance. Eric was quite a good judge of character, and he could easily tell the difference between that woman and this guy.

But he didn't care much about this guys attitude, as he approached him, helped him get up and sit in front of him, and then said in a whisper,

"Bro, I don't want to kill today, it's a happy day for me! So, if you hear me out, and do as I say then I will let you work under me, as I like your skills, and think you have great potential.

And let me tell you that, if you work under me you will be extremely satisfied, as I am really rich, and know how to take care of my people.

In fact, to show you my sincerity, I am even willing to let you play with that bi*tch over there, after I have my fun with her!

What do you say?"

That guy didn't seem able to believe his ears, everything he heard was just like the whisperings of the devil for him.

The only reason he was in this line of work was that he wanted to make some easy money, and then enjoy life by spending that money.

He had no big ideals, or any shred of loyalty towards the organization, or people that taught him the skills he knew.

Now not only was he going to get rich, but he was also offered a job alongside a wealthy bigshot so how could he refuse it.

Not to mention that Eric even told him he could have his fun with that bi*tch. He had always liked her, but she was so pretentious and never paid him much attention.

At that moment he felt like he was given a lease in his life, an opportunity that he could never refuse, but his character wouldn't let him compromise that quickly.

Since Eric was offering him so much, it meant that he was important to him for something, and he felt that he could raise the price.

Just as he was about to do that though, he heard Eric continue,

"If you don't accept to my terms though I will have to bloody my hands and kill you, and I truly don't want to do that!"

Eric's voice was calm, and steady like he was just stating a fact, but the moment he mentioned the kill word, a knife suddenly appeared in his hands and was stuck in front of the poor guy.

The knife was stabbed to the ground, just 1 centimeter away from his crotch, making him shiver at the thought of the possibility of Eric's hand slipping just 1 centimeter.

That would have completely cut the line for him, and he would even have to change his name and the way he acted.

His biggest treasure, his family's jewels had almost been cut cleanly at that moment. Every thought of bargaining and raising the price magically disappeared from his mind, and he just nodded in acceptance.

Seeing this guy nod his head in acceptance, Eric put an expression of satisfaction on his face, and then started saying,

"So, tell me…!"

"Ryuji, my name is Ikono Ryuji!"

"Hum, very well, a nice name indeed! So, tell me Ryuji, who are you guys, and what were you doing in here?"

Immediately after, Ikono Ryuji started telling Eric everything he knew with a tone of fear, reverence, and excitement.

He even told him everything he knew about the organization he worked for and all the people he had met there.

Even though he had no idea where the headquarters were located, and who was the head of the organization.

He did tell Eric the grievances he had with the bi*tch in front of them though, and also didn't forget to mention that she was in an ambiguous relationship with the Big Boss.

Also, differently from him and the others, that lady was doing everything just for the sake of pure pleasure and emotion, as they had heard that she was extremely rich.

Eric was a bit surprised by the situation, but he still didn't say anything, as he just heard this guy speak to no end.

Certainly, he would intervene when the guy went off-topic, but otherwise, he would just listen to him carefully.

This guy seemed like he had no doubts about his promise and his words and just kept rambling until he was tired of it.

He rambled for more than 2 hours, and by the time he was finished Eric felt like he had a full idea of the organization and the situation inside.

What surprised him the most though, was this guy's conduct, and attitude as it gave him the weird idea that he could truly use him.

With that thought in mind, he said,

"Ryuji forget about her and you can truly work for me, what do you say!?"
