The Legacy System

Eric's words were extremely arrogant and seemed more like a verdict than a possible outcome, yet for some reason, Cui Xie felt that he would truly do it.

But thinking more about it, there was something that he caught upon, and said,

"We are going to continue ruling the underworld? I thought that we were going to retreat from attention?"

"Don't be stupid, how can we let something like that escape our hands. Furthermore, it's almost impossible to think of light without the shadows, and I am sure that those guys understand this too.

There is no way for someone to completely destroy darkness or the shadows, as their existence is symbiotic to light, so the best possible outcome would be to let them exist while having control.

What we are going to destroy are the darkness and shadows that aren't in our control and might cause us trouble in the future.

As for the darkness and shadows controlled by us, we are going to actually make their existence natural. In other words, I am planning of legalizing the underworld!"

"Huh~!? What do you mean? How are you planning to do that?"

"Really simple actually, we will create our own Security Agency, that will have a security contract with any business inside Longgang City, whether it is small or big it doesn't matter.

Our prices will be the cheapest in the market, and if someone doesn't accept with goodwill will be forced to accept with a bad will.

As for smuggling, underground fights, betting, casino, etc will continue like usual, but we will keep them under control.

Some things are strictly forbidden though, like drugs, and mass destruction weapons, aren't to be permitted in the market."

Cui Xie was once again startled and shocked by Eric's words, as he was cursing himself for not thinking these things earlier.

While Eric's plan was bound to have a few holes here and there, he understood that the general line of thought was extremely good and applicable.

'Legalizing the Mafia!' This was the first time that he was actually hearing such a term, but it had actually a really nice ring to it.

Probably only this new and mysterious Master of his would be able to think of something like this, and then act on it.

As he was lost in his thoughts, he heard Eric's voice once again,

"Also make sure to tell you people in the hiding to keep an eye on the guys that will retreat from the profession these days and make a detailed list of them.

They shouldn't lose even one of them! Am I clear!?"

"Uh!? Sure Master, but why are you doing something like this?"

"Use your brain, Xie! After my warning to our alliance members, then who is going to leave the underworld these days?

Most probably when we have cleaned the place and claimed hegemony, these guys will appear once again and ask to join our ranks.

In order to screen them right, and treat them as we should in the future, we first need to know them who they actually are! Don't you think?"

"Ah! Yes, Master, you are right!"

"I know I am!"

With those words, the important part of their conversation was closed, as Eric continued to enjoy the body of Ren Jia by his side.

But while he was doing so, he had started to notice Cui La's unnatural expression, and if he wasn't wrong a sense of jealousy as well.

It seemed like this beauty was falling without even understanding it, which was clearly to his advantage.

After arriving at the Forest Villa, Eric entered his room with Ren Jia and then disappeared until the next day evening.

It was finally time to deal with those guys in the city. In these few days that they had thought that Cui Xie was dead, they had fought for authority, but unfortunately today they would be wiped out.

The plan was simple, people had already spread the news that Cui Xie wasn't actually dead, but only badly injured and was hiding in the surrounding forest.

Now was the best time to take care of him, otherwise, he would return back and regain his position and area once again.

Those guys understood that as long as Cui Xie was alive none of them would be able to sleep peacefully. Furthermore, they had lost too many people and funds to actually give up now.

With those thoughts in their mind, they all sent their best elites to go forward and kill Cui Xie, who was now hiding in the Forest Villa.

It didn't take long for the experts to arrive at the spot, since the information they had received was accurate.

The problem was that once they arrived, they all started to look at one another, restricting one another with none of them daring to take the lead.

In simpler words, they all fell to a stalemate that seemed a bit impossible to break, which was clearly against Eric's wishes as he wanted chaos.

'Bang, bang, bang...'

Seeing that these guys didn't have the guts to take action, Eric decided to throw some oil into the fire, as he ordered one of the guards to actually open fire against the surroundings.

But that wouldn't be enough certainly, so at the same time, he killed a distanced weakling without grabbing attention, created a Blood Clone, wore him with those clothes, and sent him to die.

If fear of being discovered wasn't enough with just warning shots, then the death of one their own would surely make the situation more believable.

And it truly worked, as the moment that they saw the Blood Clone get shot and fall down, all the people in the surroundings were immediately incensed to take action.

On the other hand, the people protecting the Villa seemed quite the opposite as they had just killed one of the intruders and had solid evidence of the enemy's existence.

Once that was confirmed they started firing more and more in the surroundings, this time Eric even gave them a few real targets.

Finally, these guys didn't seem to be able to control their selves anymore, as one of them jumped out of hiding and run towards the Villa while screaming,

"You damn bastards, I will make you pay!"

Once the path was opened and the first traveler had passed then a second was bound to follow, and after him, there would be a third, a fourth, and so on and so forth.

The same expression was valid in this case, as all the guys in the hiding jumped in attack towards the Villa, and the people inside.

The ones that were in the worst position though were most probably the guards of the Villa, not only were they being besieged but they were also ordered to not kill anyone if their survival wasn't in question.

They didn't understand why Eric would give them such a handicap, but none of them dared to actually get in his bad side. After all, he was their new Master.

How would they know that Eric didn't want to lose even a single SP point tonight, as he was in an urgent need of them?

While the guards were fighting in defense only, Eric had infiltrated the enemy's ranks and was slowly weeding them out one after the other.

The special assassination mission on Young Master Cui Xie's life was a total failure with no survivors.

The reason why Eric resorted to such a strategy was because he wanted to thin the enemy's lines as much as possible before taking them down as well.

Only like that would he be able to make a clean sweep of all the Masters, and strength they had left behind.

With that Eric entered the car, followed by Young Master Cui Xie, old man Ma, and the other four servants, and drove towards those powers one after the other.

In but one night the whole city had been swept clean of any other underworld gang or mafia, and awakening with only one Master, Eric.

From that day forth that night would be known as the Bloody Night Massacre, as the whole city was washed in criminals and hoodlums blood.

Still, Eric didn't regret even one of those deaths, as he was actually a bit disappointed that there weren't more of them.

After all, after today he wouldn't be able to go rampant as he wished in the Longgang city, and it would take some time before he thought of expansion.

Even though things were going according to his plan, and he would soon control every shadow in this city, he was still a bit disappointed.

He didn't have any other way of garnering SP points during this time, making him think like a stingy housewife, as he only had those SP points before starting the expansion.

But he didn't have much time to think about that, as Cui Xie's smartphone suddenly started ringing non-stop, meaning that those guys had learned of his deeds.

Eric already expected something like this, so he had already decided on a story that would take care of all the justifications, and convincing he needed to do.

It was only after 3 hours that the smartphone stopped ringing, and finally they regained a bit of their relaxation, as Longgang City underworld was now in their control.

…

Meanwhile, in a dark lighted room, a black-haired middle-aged man seemed to be extremely angry at the turn of events, as he said out loud,

"I will fu*cking kill that bastard! Kill!"

While he seemed to be angry and high, the other man beside him looked at him with a playful look, and asked,

"Master Weng, what is bothering you so much? After all, he just took care of a big problem for the city, and offered us an extremely good deal…
