The Legacy System

Nothing was greater to him than the family goal they had passed on generation by generation. The deal he just reached was one step closer to that ambition, and goal the Takeshiba family had.

As for Eric, this was just his father-in-law opening the door for him towards the subjugation of the Takeshiba family.

Both of them had their own ideas and dreams about this deal, and sooner or later they would end up facing each other, but only time could tell the result.

In no time the beauty Hilda prepared the contract for the duo, as she even brought some of the company lawyers to make the agreement legal immediately.

There was no hesitation from the two parties, as this was something that they both were longing for, so everything happened quickly, and smoothly.

As Eric would now be the owner of 35% of the Takeshiba Group of Industries, Master Takeshiba immediately gave the order for his office to be ready in no time.

The reason why he agreed to such a deal so quickly wasn't that he looked at Eric in a favorable way, or as part of his house.

Nothing like that, he just thought he had stroke gold since Eric was inexperienced and a hot-blooded youth.

In fact, he was planning on feeding his ego and self-satisfaction until he turned him into nothing more than an empty kid he could play as he wished.

The most fragile part of a young man's character and conduct was precisely his inexperience, and hot-bloodedness, while they served to sever mountains and dry rivers, they were also a double-edged sword.

Taking into consideration the fabricated story about his background, Eric should be even more tangible by that, since he most probably felt like a sort of Saint over the mortal world.

What he might never know was that he would continue to be one, until he needed him to be, after that, he would just reassess the situation and decide.

Of course, these were Master Takeshiba's thoughts, as no one knew what the future held, well beside Eric probably.

On the other hand, Eric was satisfied with the deal, as he didn't expect him to agree so soon, it was true that even though he had taken 35% still the profit for Master Takeshiba would increase exponentially.

Still, he had never thought that the sly snake would agree so easily, as he was even ready to give in some of that percentage, up to 25%.

Still, the snake had decided not to negotiate with him and immediately agree to the deal. This made him worried that there might be something he had overlooked, or that had slipped his attention.

Even if Master Takeshiba died in front of him to save him right now, he wouldn't believe in his magnanimity or that he might think of him as part of his family.

Still, on the outside, he had a look of deep satisfaction and a false pretense of a Young Master in the making.

His best weapon at the moment was the people's underestimation of his skills and abilities. While his fabricated background was deep, without them he was nothing more than a kid having his pipe dreams.

For that reason, he was trying to act more and more like a Young Master that was getting full of himself. Only like that would he be able to make people lower their guards against him.

Immediately as they signed the deal, Master Takeshiba ordered the beautiful Hilda to gather all the important staf for an important announcement, and also to give Eric a more detailed tour around the building, and also of its accounts, and dealings.

Until he was able to create a team of his own, she was to stay by his side and help him with whatever he couldn't understand.

There was no one who didn't have their jaws on the floor when they heard Master Takeshiba's announcement, as all this was too sudden and unexpected.

Most of these guys in important positions were members of the Takeshiba family, and its smaller branches, so hearing a stranger have something they didn't even dare to dream, made them feel uncomfortable, to say the least.

In fact, they were too stunned to even hate Eric, or try to come up with some excuses, or ways to put him down. They didn't understand what was going on anymore.

And especially Master Takeshiba's two elder sons, each one of them was more than wrathful, if it weren't for him already being punished once, he would surely jump towards Eric, and kill him.

He considered this Group as him, and what Eric was doing right now to him it was nothing more than the blatant robbery of what was his.

Not to mention that, but Master Takeshiba also made him as deputy president of the Company, who could act in his place, in his absence.

Eric clearly didn't expect such a big gift to come his way, but the more Master Takeshiba acted like that, the more did his instincts, and senses became wary of him.

He wasn't a weak and inexperienced young man, as he had the experience of two lifetimes, so it would be truly shameful of him, if he didn't use it.

Still, he was able to control himself, and his expressions, so that he showed no sign of his doubts, and walls, as he followed behind Hilda, with the twins behind him.

He was sure that this was going to be a bomb to the society, but most importantly to the Takeshiba family, and especially those two idiots, that were looking towards him with killing intent in their eyes.

He still hadn't decided on his first target inside the Takeshiba family, as he was waiting for them to make the first move.

In the meantime though, he had already instructed Takeshiba Aika to create more relations with her sister, and mother.

People outside were truly surprised seeing him around for a second tour, and even more, hearing the news, but still, they didn't lose any precious second to go up to him and kiss his ass.

On the other hand, Eric was once again swarmed with people he met and talked without remembering who or what.

The important thing on his mind at the moment was the financial situation of the Company, and also its revenues.

From now the Takeshiba Group of Industries would turn into his main source of income, and from that would also depend on the development of his plans.

It was only after their second tour, that Hilda took him into his new office. One could see the efficiency of the workers in this place, only by seeing that his office was ready in such a short time and notice.

His office was only one floor lower than the one of his father-in-law, and while it was a bit missing in terms of class, and interior design as it was a bit overly touched.

He didn't need much brain to understand from whom he had gotten this office from, especially looking at the useless, and not-needed things around.

Master Takeshiba's firstborn should really hate him to death right now, but it's not like he cared a lot about it.

What he cared about right now were the documents that Hilda had brought for his inspection, together with the financial mirror of the company.

Just like he expected, he had entered a treasure trove, that would soon expand, even more, making it the biggest treasure trove of the world.

As he checked the documents, and anything else, he was able to understand that Hilda was a truly intelligent and capable woman.

He had thought that Master Takeshiba kept her by his side only due to her looks, but seeing her intelligence, and sharpness made him understand his mistake in prejudicing her.

What caught his attention though, was that from time to time she would try to make some 'unintentional' body rubs, or skin touches and act as nothing happened.

It seemed like everyone was trying to send him some good 'offerings' to stay by his side and try to spy on him.

He didn't mind it though, as he was confident in himself on making them turn sides, and become his most faithful servants and women. To him, each and every one of these ladies was a gift to him!

Time after time he could feel the piercing gaze of Inuhara Hina from behind him, but he pretended to not notice it, as he just kept enjoying her 'accidental' touches, and rubs.

As he was revising the accounts though, he received a message on his phone that made his tired-looking face and expression almost disappear in an instant.

Getting up from his place, he 'accidentally' bumped once again on the curvy body of Hilda, who didn't expect this, and lost her balance.

As a gentleman that he was, Eric was quick on the act, as he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her tightly towards himself, as he said with a cheeky tone,

"Careful beauty, I don't want you falling on me, now!"

Just as he expected, Hilda acted with maturity, and experience, as she just giggled amusingly, looked him directly on his eyes seductively as she said,

"I wouldn't mind it though, Young Master Eric!"

For a moment they stayed there looking each other in eye! They looked like some kind of couple who were deeply in love with each other.

'ahem'

Finally, Inuhara Hina couldn't bear it anymore, as she coughed to clear the situation, as both of the persons in question awakened from their position, as Eric said as he released Hilda from his grasp,

"Well, we will have to see about it beauty!"

With that said, he turned around and left his new office without waiting for her reaction. It was time for him to finally start his revenge against his so-called 'brothers'…
