The Legacy System

'cough…, cough…, cough…'

All of a sudden the enraged Li Pimp couldn't do anything else but cough a few times, before he actually even vomited blood, and lost his balance.

The whole venue was shocked by the sudden happenings as they couldn't understand what was going on.

It wasn't only the Li Pimp though as really soon all the other guests started acting and doing the same, including even a few of the Cui Family Elders.

'cough…, cough…, cough…'

In but a few instants everyone started coughing out blood, as they lost their balance and had to support their bodies to their tables, or chairs.

'HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!'

The whole venue was thrown into chaos, and fear, when suddenly a burst of maniac laughter resounded through the whole place.

"All of you bastards are going to take what you deserve for actually not helping me and my Gao Family, you will all die a dog's death!"

Weren't you acting all high and mighty until now!? Just a little poison and you all have to bow in front of this Master! Hahahahah~!

Turbid Dog Li I was still having doubts before, but now I feel that this is a little bit too less for someone like you! Hahahahah~! Want to gift away my wife!? You are courting death!"

The whole venue turned their gaze towards the direction of the sound, only to see Master Gao slowly walk towards the center of the venue, with a mocking smile on his face.

"Gao Jixie, how dare you do something like this!?"

"Are you tired of living!?"

"Do you think that we don't dare to pulverize your Gao Family!?"

"What a shitty Gao Jixie!"

Young Master Ling wasn't much different, his face was pale, and his breathing was heavy, as he looked toward Gao Jixie full of anger, and said,

"Gao Jixie, I order you in name of my Ling Family, to immediately distribute the antidote to the poison, and then kill yourself, if you don't want me to dismember your body in pieces."

He felt that this was a great stage and moment for him to show his great strength and background. This would be a great place for him to earn his name and fame.

"Huh!? What kind of shit are you!? Do you think that you are too great, or do you think that your Ling Family controls heaven!?

Even if that was true and your Ling Family controlled heaven, then what does it matter to this Master!? Your life is in my hands, if I don't give you the antidote you are going to die!

Even if the Ling Family killed me after, so what!? Won't you already be dead!?"

Young Master Ling's bravado had been totally crushed at that moment. Just like a powerful wave destroying the sand castles on the shore.

His Ling Family would surely avenge him painfully if something happened to him, but if he died then what was the meaning of that revenge?

No, he couldn't allow something like that to happen, no matter what! He had to make sure that he escaped this dreaded situation alive.

"Gao Jixie tell us what do you want!? Why are you doing this!?"

Since the stick didn't work, Young Master Ling could only use the carrot, and try to negotiate. But at the same time, he had to save his face, so he talked in a harsh tone.

"Heh~!? What happened to your threats kid!? Well, anyway, let's say that you are afraid of death, but did your fear make you stupid or deaf!?"

"Yoouuu…"

Young Master Ling felt like he had lost a great deal of face just now, as not only hadn't Gao Jixie taken a step back and negotiated, but even insulted him.

"Me what!? What do you expect me to say!? Didn't you hear just now that the old bastard was trying to gift my wife away!?

Why the fu*ck do you think I am doing this, huh!?"

It was at that point that the whole venue understood the reason, but how could they accept it so easily!? Especially, Young Master Ling!

"Your purpose is truly noble Master Gao, but you can't involve all the respected people participating in this banquet just due to that!

After all the one responsible for this mess is the Li Family only, the rest haven't done anything to you!"

Right now Young Master Ling seemed to have regained a bit of his courage and righteousness as he said these words to Master Gao.

"Brat do you just pretend of being an idiot or are you truly an idiot!? I am truly having trouble determining this!"

"Master Gao what do you mean by this!? Are you trying to humiliate my Ling Family!?"

"When did I ever mention your Ling Family, I only talked to you specifically! Don't tell me that you can be the representative of the whole Ling Family!

Then wouldn't that mean that you are the Ling Family Head or their Ancestor! You truly have opened this one's eyes today, I never thought that you were so great!"

Each and every one of the people in the venue could understand that this was nothing but irony, as Master Gao was actually mocking this Young Master Ling.

"Master Gao while I don't represent the whole Ling Family now, I will do so in the future, as I am the next in line as the Ling Family Head, you better give me an explanation today!"

"Hah~! It seems like you are a truly stubborn brat, well let me put it this way! If I only poisoned that bastard, wouldn't your vultures jump in my head to curry his favor!?

Do you think I am a fool like you!?

Today I am going to kill that old bastard thing, and you will most probably follow behind him with these attitudes of yours.

Don't blame me though, because it was that old thing that actually forced my hand!"

"Gao Jixie your anger is with me, give the antidote to the guests and let them go!"

Li Pimp seemed to have taken some sort of medicinal antidote and regain his body and strength, a bit, as he thought of using this place to increase his fame and name in society.

He was acting selflessly to save all the guests to his party, this was something extremely commendable, everyone would think like that.

"Hahahah~! Of course, I can let them go old thing, but you have to kowtow 3 times in front of me, apologize to me, and then take your own life!

As soon as you do that, I promise to let everyone else go!"

The whole crowd was surprised and conflicted at hearing those requests, as they couldn't help but look towards Li Pimp.

The old man didn't expect such words and could only look at Gao Jixie in anger, but he didn't give himself away. After all, differently from Young Master Ling, he had quite the experience as he said,

"Hmph~! You expect me to believe your lying foul mouth!?"

"Of course not, the 'Patriarch Li' is a sage of times who has a degree in backstabbing, not keeping his word, and doing evil, so this Master will make things easier for you.

As long as you kowtow three times in front of this Master, I will give everyone the antidote to the poison!

If I don't do it, then it wouldn't be too late to kill me, right!?"

The whole crowd couldn't help but turn around and have a look at Li Saint once again, whose face clearly expressed his feelings.

He didn't like this situation in the least. How could he accept to kneel in front of a lowlife trash like Gao Jixie!?

He was left at a crossroads, if he kneeled it would be a fierce slap on his face and he would never dare to show his face in public, if he didn't he would be taken as the villain by the crowd.

The crowd didn't care who was right or wrong, as long as their survival was in question, the one that could help them survive was a saint, while the one who didn't was the devil.

'Clanggg~!'

Fortunately, he was saved by the bell, or to be more precise he was saved by the bell sound of the opening doors, as Madam Li entered the venue in a hurry.

Not many people could notice it, but she was walking a bit funnily, and there were even traces of her makeup being messed up with.

Of course, many people would think it was from the fact that she had run towards this place in a hurry, and no one thought of it to be weird.

"Husband, what are you doing!? What is this!? Are you trying to kill me and your son!? Are you trying to destroy our family!?"

"Wife, what are you doing here!? Why did you come here!? Quickly run away, I will take care of this place and follow behind you. We are leaving the country tonight, no one will ever be able to find us."

Master Gao seemed clearly surprised by the appearance of his wife, as he couldn't help but even 'spill' a few of his secrets.

"Hmph~! Do you think that there will be any place on Earth that will accept you after this happens!? Gao Jixie give up, and we will let you die in one piece!"

It was the Young Master of the Cao Family, he was thinking that he hadn't shown himself, and felt that this was the right moment to attack.

"Courting death! Even if that happens you will be dead, won't you!?"

"Husband please stop this madness, this is too much! You can't do this, this is a suicide, please!"

At this moment Madam Li took a few steps forward and approached Master Gao while hugging him in fright and emotion…
