The Legacy System

Chapter 413 - 413: Two Weeks

"Stop bullshitting me Gao Jixie, you understand very well why I am so angry! And I know perfectly that you are as well!

I refuse to admit that a great businessman such as yourself is unable to see his ambitions and plans for the future.

This might seem like a good deal for us, but it's actually a big loss. From the head of a local snake, we will turn into the tail of a dragon.

No matter how you look at it, we will be at his mercy in the future! There is no way I am going to accept something like this!"

Gao Jixie's face went dark and cold as well, as Weng Hao had expressed his worries out loud. Truly he was the first to understand Cui Xie's, or to be more exact Eric's appetite.

Furthermore, with the current deal, the one who might be losing the most would still be him, as Cui Xie was looking to take over a large part of his market in the white.

Medicine and drugs were the most profit-inducing field of all. While the new product would be controlled by them, he would still lose valuable contracts with the government, military, and police.

Not only that, but with the new contract, those guys would profit from everything at a lower price than they were getting their current medicine. It was just unacceptable for him.

The only difference between him, and Weng Hao at the moment, was the fact that he was more careful of his surroundings and didn't dare to talk beyond what he should.

After all, it was impossible to know whether their current meeting was being bugged and spied upon. That would not only bring him great trouble but might even take his life.

Still, this was a great opportunity to use this idiot against the new threat. So, he couldn't pretend like he wasn't dissatisfied either.

With those thoughts in his mind, he tried to find the right words as he said,

"Master Weng you should be careful, nowadays even walls have eyes and ears! If you mistakenly or jokingly say the wrong words, you might create trouble for yourself!

In these difficult times ahead of us, there isn't much I can do besides promise you that I will fully support you financially should you need me to!"

Hearing those words, Weng Hao was brought with his feet to the ground, as he just looked once around him, and then seemed to have calmed down quite a bit.

Well, more than having calmed down, it was better self-control upon his emotions and anger. But still, it was quite surprising how fast he managed to change.

With the newfound calmness, he turned towards Gao Jixie, and said,

"Then, I shall thank Master Gao in advance! I will certainly be looking forward to our cooperation!"

With that out of the way, they talked a bit more about some other topics, until Gao Jixie left the Weng family Mansion, towards his Group of Companies' main offices.

He had a lot on his plate at the moment, a lot to think about, and a lot of decisions and plan to make for the future.

…

On the other hand, Eric was inside a big room in the Cui siblings Villa in the city, with a lot of herbs in front of him, coupled with a gas stove, some big durable pots, and a gas connection.

Leaving Cui Xie and his people to take care of the aftermath, and then prepare for his next instructions, he felt that it was a good time to practice his Alchemic skills a bit.

The truth was that after the massacre that he had caused these days, being responsible for every intended kill, he had jumped a few levels in strength.

Right now, he was level 177 and was making his way up, but unfortunately, his skills weren't keeping up with him.

So, he needed to take some time, and train hard. He was intending to train his skills later in his Nightless Stone City, but in the meantime, he could train his Alchemic Skills.

It was time for him to become a level 2 Alchemy Master, and start concocting Medium quality potions and pills.

With that thought in his mind, he started once again to slowly process all the herbs he needed, and then carefully prepare the pots, and flame necessary, and then put his skills into action.

The first batch was a complete failure, everything turned into poison rather than medicine. The second batch was half successful, as it wasn't a poison anymore, but it wasn't the intended potion either.

Finally, on the third batch, he managed to succeed! Even though the effects weren't as they should be, they still worked and showed great progress.

Once he succeeded for the first time, it was easier to succeed again, as he started to concentrate on increasing the quality of the potion, and its effects.

It was nothing easy, as he had to concoct the potion, test it, meditate on his actions, and the effect of his actions, and then start once again from scratch.

In less than a day the whole room was filled with the aroma, and smell of the herbs and his finished products, but he didn't get out even for a break.

For two full weeks, he stayed inside the room dealing only with his alchemic skills and the new potions.

Only when he felt that he had reached a pleasurable level and had filled his stocks did he finally get out of the room.

He found out that that part of the Mansion had become deserted these days, and he felt satisfied otherwise his concentration or composure might break.

When he finally reached the end of the hall, he found Ren Jia staying there guard, and not allowing anyone to pass her.

Even though Cui Xie had given his word, and warned everyone in the Mansion, he still needed to have extra security.

After all, what he had been dealing with these days was nothing more than an advanced product of the already given potion formulae. Something that would surely stir up the whole World.

People feared death the most. So, a miraculous medicine that could drag them from death's doors was more than welcomed.

That was also precisely the reason why Eric managed to secure such expensive deals for himself. Even though for those rich guys and countries, what he asked was nothing more than pennies.

Well, slowly he would not only reach them, but he would also surpass them. So he wasn't really worried about all that.

Happy, and in a good mood, he approached Ren Jia and gave her a nice kiss on the lips, while his hands roamed on her body.

The beauty didn't reject his advances, and it was only when they broke the kiss that she finally said,

"Master you stink! I think you should have a shower!"

"Yes, you are right! But it's not only me who needs a shower, you need one too. So let us have a shower together!"

With those words, without waiting for a single word from the beauty, he carried her into a princess carry and made way towards one of the bathrooms.

For the next hour, sounds of water falling, and warm sounds of spring conquered the room, as Ren Jia was given her last days 'salary' and 'food'.

Feeling refreshed, and satisfied with what he had done, Eric looked at the beauty in his arms with tenderness as he said,

"So, tell me, what has happened these days?"

"Cui Xie managed to quickly clear the whole city and tied all possible loose ends. The entire city is cleaned of other gangs, and mafia organizations.

Police's work with crime and gangs seemed to have finished altogether, as we also have applied for the Security Company and have found the location for our offices, our training grounds, and lodging.

Your idea came as a big surprise to the others, but with the help of the Police, the Mayor, and the Public Security Bureau is taking shape, and it will get approved soon.

There were voices of discontent nonetheless as Master Weng Hao, and Gao Jixie opposed it head-on, but unfortunately, their words weren't taken into consideration.

By the way that the two of them acted though, we can determine that they are going to act soon. Perhaps once the production of the potions starts, so we have been keeping them in surveillance.

All others have sent their own people and spies to the factory in order to not only find the formulae but also to take control of the place.

Since we already have some clues we have started to prepare a list of other 'infected' in the factory, so we can be prepared at all times.

At the same time, we have also registered the Legacy Group with Cui Xie as the full owner, and Cui La as the CEO of the company.

Cui La has already seen the situation around the City and has already a few ideas about our short-term and long-term investments.

In the meantime, though we have already made the purchase of a shop in the medicinal herbs market, and also found some suppliers.

The warehouses are ready as well, as we are only waiting for instructions about the herbs, and resources that we need to buy and then sell."

"Hmm~! Very well, it seems like I wasn't wrong in using those two. Now we only need those idiots to take the bait and start acting.

I really don't like dealing with people I can't trust!"
