Chapter 64: Kirigaya’s mission

The reason for that green was quite simple actually, the feedback from Takeshiba Aika after the photos and message he sent to her.

Just like he expected she had gotten scared, and sent a hell lot of messages asking who he was, and why he was doing this, together with a lot of missed calls.

In response to all that he just sent her one short message. 'Prepare 100.000$ by the end of the week, if you don't want it to become public."

This would be a good blow for her at the moment. Now he just had to wait for her to appear before him and block his way.

Why was he so sure about this? Two important reasons, firstly he was the one she had trusted this secret too, and only they and the perpetrators knew about this.

Secondly, she was in urgent need of money, and even if she didn't think he was the one who did it, she would most probably be left with no other choice but to ask for his help.

So all he had to do for now was to wait for her appearance. With these thoughts in mind, he quickly changed the SIM cards once again and got ready to go out.

It was time to start his training and at the same time head for the restaurant. He had to check the condition of Kirigaya's body and also guide him in training.

Thinking about this, he understood that there was one thing he had overlooked all this time. He needed cultivation manuals for his subordinates.

While looking at the shop for cultivation manuals, he didn't find any of them at the moment. This didn't make sense, but there was nothing he could do.

Racking his brains he thought that this was probably due to having 'Chaos Creation Manual', or because he was too weak, and the system didn't expect him to have subordinates so soon.

Not to mention that even if they were there, then most probably their price would probably be unaffordable at the moment.

This made sense too, perhaps the system was hiding those manuals because he was dirt poor, and had no way of affording them, and would just discourage him.

Left with no other choice, he thought that he could give these two first subordinates of his, his own cultivation manual.

After all, these two would be part of his most trusted pillars, and he couldn't afford to lose time, especially known that there were other people with systems in them.

While training and thinking like this, he soon arrived at Kirigaya's restaurant. Entering from the back due to his condition, he went to his box, while he mentally called Kirigaya there.

He didn't have to wait long, because Kirigaya came running towards him, clearly really happy since he felt good after such a long time.

As soon as he entered, he immediately kneeled in front of Eric and said,

Kirigaya:" Subordinate greets Master."

He was part of the Kirigaya family, where traditions and respect was a must. So he had been taught the proper etiquette.

On the other hand, Eric had served as an Emperor for hundreds of years, and willingly or unwillingly he had to learn the proper etiquette.

That's why he just said calmly,

Eric:" Relax! From what I see the potions seem to have done their job. Pretty good, you may have fallen 5 levels, but don't worry you will soon regain them back.

I will also impart to you my cultivation manual from now on so that you can also cultivate. While you have your clan's secret arts, that's just too crude, and useless.

In the shortest time possible I will find a better manual for your clan."

Hearing Eric's words Kirigaya was stunned, he expected Eric to disdain his clan's arts, but he didn't expect him to give his own Cultivation Manual to him too.

Or his promise to get better Manuals and Arts for his clan. But he understood one thing, once he became the Patriarch of his Clan, the Clan belonged to Eric.

He was just his subordinate after all. But even then, this was a big boon to his Clan, because Eric was certainly someone who would become a powerful figure in the future.

On the other hand, Eric didn't care much about Kirigaya's thoughts as he said in a serious and solemn voice,

Eric:" What level do you think your little brother is at the moment?"

Kirigaya also got serious hearing that question, and said,

Kirigaya:" When I left the Clan, he was only around half as strong as I was, as for how strong he is now, I don't know. But I have sent words to my connections at the Clan, I will have an answer soon."

Hearing that Eric thought deeply for a moment, and then continued with his solemn voice,

Eric:" While I was surprised to see that you are a level 78 fighter, even after the body tempering. You shouldn't be too complacent.

After seeing the poison in your body, I suspect your brother has a lower version of my system in his body, so you can expect him to have a rapid and major increase in strength.

I don't think your connections will be able to tell how strong he is, so you should prepare for the worst. For that reason I want you to start training as soon as possible."

One extra thing that Eric was able to discover about the subsystems was that they generated their own missions, in order to help the main.

In other words, they generated missions that would be able to help Eric. This was truly a big help, and also a good opportunity to farm some points.

What he didn't expect though was the fact that he got 7 skill points bonus due to Kirigaya. He used one to upgrade his slave-seal skill but left the rest for later.

While they were really useful to him, he had to think about his subordinates too. At the moment, Kirigaya seemed to have some skills, but they were all level 1.

While their grade was really low, and Eric wanted to get him better skills, nonetheless he would need some extra cards during the battle with his little brother.

So Eric was still in a dilemma about how to use those skill points. But he still had some time before deciding what to do with them.

Opposite him, Kirigaya was also in deep thoughts. His life and the lives of his loved ones depended on the fight he was going to have with his little brother, if he didn't win, he would certainly die.

He was totally in agreement with Eric's words, he needed to train as hard as possible in the following months.

Looking as if he had already made up his mind, he said in a solemn look,

Eric:" For the next two months, you will go and train in the Africa Continent. Your goal there will be to fight and destroy at least two small rebel camps in that period of time.

Every soldier in there must be killed by you, how you do it is in your hands. Since you will be there, try to plunger them a bit, we will need all the financial help we can get.

I will take care of setting up the chain of restaurants in here, you can take them back under your Clan's control once you win the fight."

Once again Kirigaya was left dumbfounded by Eric's words. What he was asking wasn't an easy thing, while Kirigaya was a strong guy, and had a lot of blood in his hands, that seemed crazy.

A medium military camp of rebels in Africa's warring countries had at least 200-300 armed fighters. While they were mostly kids with guns that was a considerable amount.

His Clan's techniques were mostly specialized in stealth and assassination, but assassinating 400-600 people in this short amount of time seemed impossible.

At that time, he also got a notification from his sub-system where the mission Eric just issued him became an official mission.

If he succeeded in this mission, he would win 2000 Exp, and 2000 SP points, and a silver package. It was truly a crazy award, to a crazy mission.

Even though he knew that it was a crazy mission, Kirigaya just kneeled on the ground once again, as he said with a solemn and determined look on his face,

Kirigaya:" Subordinate obeys."

He had to go there and train, his life, and his family's lives depended on him, and this seemed like the best way to get an upgrade in strength.

Satisfied with his answer, Eric said,

Eric:" Very well now go and prepare your stuff, your mission starts from tomorrow."

Kirigaya acknowledged his mission and immediately left the place, while Eric sent a message to the cheating siblings.

All this time they had been staying close to the restaurant and were also employed as staff here. He wanted to keep them under his eyes.

In no time he sensed them coming, and just as they were about to knock on the door, he said with a calm tone,

Eric:" Come in!"

This totally surprised the two siblings, because they had just arrived there, but they guessed it was some kind of system, or from the cameras that he knew their presence.

So recomposing themselves they opened the door and entered inside, where Eric was lying on the couch, looking something through his phone.

Seeing them enter, Eric started looking at them once again from head to toe, and he had to accept that the girl in front of him, looked better than he thought in normal clothes.

He couldn't help but have a thought of how she would look without clothes. He was kind of expectant for that.

On the other hand, Inuhara Hina didn't seem to mind his look. While she seemed a bit embarrassed about it, it was more of a bashful embarrassment.

Like she knew she would become his in the future. This kind of startled Eric a bit, but recollecting himself, he said…
