The Legacy System

Chapter 314 - 314: Proving His Identity



She was going to say mysterious Master, but then she realized what Eric meant with his words, and she couldn\'t help but ask in a dumbfounded expression,

"You are telling me that you are that mysterious Master!?"

"Wow, you caught quite quickly on my words! I have to say that I think I had underestimated you as a double agent!"

Roy was being serious, even though he would have liked to play a bit with her, he didn\'t have the time for it, as he didn\'t know exactly how long he had been unconscious.

Even if it was just one day, he was still short for time, as those guys would start arriving soon in his Senkaku Islands, and he had yet to clean his backyard.

Just because he had a serious face, and was telling the truth it didn\'t mean that Ren Jia would easily believe him though.

"Hahahah~! What a great joke!"

Just as expected, his revelation was too much for her to believe as the truth, as she started laughing out loud, and treating his words as a joke.

But she was forced to stop when she found out that Eric wasn\'t laughing, quite the opposite actually he was looking at her with a dissatisfied look.

She couldn\'t help, but suddenly stop, and then blurt with a surprised tone,

"Wait! It couldn\'t be that you think that you are telling the truth right!? I understand your acting skills are quite good, but we both know that it\'s not the truth!"

Eric was clearly quite dissatisfied with the way she acted, but he still managed to control himself, as he said with a curious tone,

"Oh!? And why is that?"

Ren Jia still couldn\'t understand how this guy was still continuing to pretend, but she decided to drop a good bucket of icy water on top of his head,

"Well firstly you aren\'t strong enough, even though you are strong, much stronger than I am, you are still way out of that mysterious Master\'s league.

Secondly, if you truly are that strong and mysterious Master, you wouldn\'t have the need to escape that sniper targeting us, and even less getting shot during the process.

Thirdly, even if you were that mysterious Master, then why would you stay underwater looking for this place, shouldn\'t you have already noticed it immediately!?"

Hearing her reasons, Eric understood that she wasn\'t wrong thinking that he had nothing to do with that mysterious Master.

After all, the Master he had created to himself was, fortunately, and unfortunately too strong, and nobody would believe that he didn\'t exist anymore.

Especially after what happened with the Motohara family, and the headquarters of the Viper\'s Venom organization.

As for the third reason, the truth was that Eric had been able to notice this entrance only after he had seen a little crab disappear inside the rock earlier as he was trying to look for an escape route.

He had never thought that what he wasn\'t able to find for more than 6 hours underwater, going around in circles around the same place, would appear to him in such a casual way.

He had been dumbfounded himself from all this situation but he couldn\'t complain. Not only had he found this place at the end of the day, but it had also saved his life.

Well, now wasn\'t the time to think about that, as he had a much more important matter to deal with, as he started answering back to Ren Jia.

"Your logic is right, but your sight is extremely narrow. You have no idea how many weird, and strange miracles happen and exist in this world every day!

For that reason, you and everyone else are unable to find even a trace of that mysterious Master, which is me!

As for how this is possible, let me ask you another question. Have you, or anyone else seen the strength, and power of this mysterious Master from up close?"

Ren Jia was about to start mocking him again, but thinking deeper about his question, the truth was that what he said was true.

No one had seen the strength of that mysterious Master up close and even less capture a sight of that Master.

The whole world knew about what he had done to the Motohara family, and Vipers Venom organization post in Tokyo, but nothing beyond that.

Since no one had been able to catch a glimpse of him, everyone had thought that he was just that much powerful as to easily escape their senses, so they had idolized him even more.

But, after thinking for so long, that he existed and was a powerful sage, it was impossible for Ren Jia to fall easily for what she thought to be Eric\'s tricks as she asked with a curious look,

"Then how do you explain what happened to the Motohara family, and the Vipers Venom quarters in Tokyo?"

Hearing her question, Eric had the sudden desire to explode in laughter, because he knew that even if he told her the truth, she was still not going to believe him.

And yet, he decided to tell her exactly that, the truth. He told her that he had a mysterious strength, that allowed him to become invisible, and that he could use talismans for the fire, and everything else.

The more that Ren Jia heard him speak, the more she felt like he was trying to trick a little kid with candy gum.

The story he was telling her seemed like it was just a bit too fantastic like it was more of a Xianxia novel story than a realistic one.

But even if this was true, there was one big doubt inside her head. \'Why was Eric telling her all this?\' \'What was he trying to achieve?\'

\'Wasn\'t he afraid that she might expose him?\' Certainly, he held her secret as well, but at this moment his secret was much more valuable than hers.

Or was he doing all this because he knew that nobody would believe her? After all, even she herself didn\'t exactly believe it.

As for the thought of him having fallen for her, or anything like that it didn\'t even cross her mind. This guy was just too shrewd to make such a stupid decision, just because he fell in love.

Unable to come up with any good reason to convince herself, or explain what was happening, she couldn\'t help but ask Eric with a serious expression,

"Let say that everything that you said is true, and you are truly that Mysterious Master! But why are you telling me all this?

Are you tired of living? Or have you already decided to kill me?"

Hearing her questions, Eric just looked her in the eye and made a sign with his right hand towards his head.

When he saw that Ren Jia was even more confused and didn\'t understand what he meant, he said,

"Check inside and you will understand!"

Those words confused the young woman even more, as she didn\'t know what to do. But then thinking again, Eric could have already killed her if he wanted to.

There was no way to try and catch her without conscience, or play a trick to lower her guard, so without hesitating any longer, she entered her conscience sea.

What she saw in there though, made her immediately return to her senses, and then start screaming at Eric,

"You piece of Master! You handsome and dashing Master! You great fu*cker! You big di*cked Master, that will destroy my purity!

How dare you to place a slave seal on me?"

In fact, all her words had been curses at Eric, but since Eric didn\'t like them, he decided to change them a bit into what was heard.

Seeing that her curses were becoming more and more derogative for herself, Ren Jia decided to stop thinking about hurling insults and curses at Eric, and she said that last line.

Eric on the other hand didn\'t seem to care much about it, as he said,

"Had I not placed that slave seal on you, would you have treated my wounds, my temperature, or even heard me up to now?

This is a dog eats dog world, the sooner you understand the meaning of that expression, the sooner you will be able to become a valuable piece for me.

"Hmph~! As if! I will never betray my own country, no matter what you do to me! I am ready to die by being tortured for my own country!"

"Wow! That is called patriotism I suppose, and it feels truly full of emotions, filling my skin with goosebumps! But who said anything about betraying your country?

Forgetting about the fact that you are unable to break the slave seal in your conscience sea, in order to betray a country, that country must exist!

In less than 3 years, the world as we know it will cease to exist, and there will be no more countries of the present."

Hearing those words, Ren Jia couldn\'t help but feel a chill coursing through her all body, as she asked with a trembling voice,

"D-do yo-you me-mean that the rum-rumor is tr-true?"

"I don\'t believe it! I know! I was the one that spread the rumor in hope that it might help humankind as much as it can!

Now follow me, and don\'t do anything stupid, this place is riddled with too many traps, and I don\'t want you to die without paying your value.

With that said, he immediately started making his way towards the Templish looking door and opened it with a loud, and ancient screech.

This door was just too old…
