The Legacy System

Even though a large number of people had received their antidote pills already and were being cured of the poison there were still quite a number of them who had yet to take the antidote pill.

Especially the people of the Cao and Ling Families, the oldies were still good, as they were able to restrain the poison for the moment, and weren't in danger of their lives, but their younglings were another matter.

Even though Young Master Ling and Young Master Cao were thought of as great geniuses of the country, they were still only at Realm 3 and unable to restrain the poison.

It didn't matter how much of a genius either of them was, because this poison was beyond their capabilities. After all, this was a poison coming from Eric's Legacy System, not something simple.

Eric had spent more than 200.000 SP points in order to buy the Grade 5 poison, dilute it into a Grade 4 poison, and also buy the batch of 30 antidote pills in diluted form.

Since he didn't really care whether the antidote truly cured people or not, he didn't bother to buy a true antidote pill.

But that didn't matter anymore, as the atmosphere at the venue was extremely heavy and tense. Just like a barrel of gunpowder right beside a blazing fire.

Just another centimeter of flames and fire would make the gunpowder barrel explode into little pieces spreading all over the place and destroying everything on their path.

The ones that were in the worst position were the Ling and Cao Family people, who were looking at the last antidote pill just like starving vultures at a fresh corpse.

"Patriarch Li the Ling Family would truly appreciate it if you can give that 'Antidote Pill' to 'your' son-in-law as part of your dowry!"

"Brother Ling should already understand that even our Young Master Cao is the son-in-law of the Li Family, and furthermore he is getting together with the oldest daughter, he should be the one to receive that gift!"

Even though these two giants were complimenting and tailoring each other's tails earlier, now that their own interests were involved they were just like two tigers glaring at each other.

"Brother Gui should understand that this is the intention of that little bastard that disappeared all of a sudden and that by making a commotion will only make this situation evolve according to his plans."

"Haiz~! How could I not understand this Brother Ling, but unfortunately I can't let my Young Master die here, can I!?"

"Brother Gui is right, but instead of trying to create trouble between us, why don't you ask for an antidote pill from the people of the Cui Family!

After all, that little bastard was from their Family, and they might have one or two extra pills!"

It was at this moment that the Cui Family Elders were brought to the center of attention once again, as everyone turned their gazes towards them like starving wolves.

"Bullshit~! You all saw that bastard change face before he disappeared and turn into a completely unrelated person to my Cui Family!"

"Hehe~! Does your Cui Family takes us for so simple-minded and easily fooled people, this could certainly be a trick of your Cui Family to throw dust on our eyes!"

It didn't matter whether this matter was related to the Cui Family or not anymore, all that mattered was how it was used against them.

Cao Family people understood this as well and they kept their composure at this moment, but quite a few people that were desperate and hoping to curry favor with the Ling Family jumped to the opportunity,

"Elders of the Cui Family please stop this madness, we are ready to pay the price for the antidote!"

"What price, they should give it to us for free after causing such a scene and trying to play with us!"

"They are truly shameless trying to make a benefit out of people's lives!"

The Ling and Cao Family Elders were happy with the current situation's development, but as long as there was only one pill remaining everything would be in danger.

A part of them truly hoped this was a trap from the Cui Family, and that there were more antidote pills on their hands, but all that seemed impossible.

The Cui Family Elders were incensed, angered, infuriated, and enraged with the current situation, as they couldn't help but scream in rage,

"What the fu*ck do you think you are doing!? Who the fu*ck do you think you are!? Why would my Cui Family need to act like this towards insects like you!?"

The whole crowd was overwhelmed for a moment, and they didn't dare to make an excessive move, while the people from the Ling and Cao Families didn't like this in the least.

How could they allow such an opportunity to disappear right in front of their eyes, they had to make the most out of this.

"Your Cui Family is truly shameless, and hopeless, you…"

'Bang…, banggg…, bannnggg…, booooooommmmmmmm~!'

As the Ling Family Elder was trying to actually antagonize the crowd towards the Cui Family, even more, there were a few banging sounds heard all of a sound, followed by a loud boom, glasses and plates going down in pieces.

The table of the Ling Family people was actually destroyed to pieces, while a tied-up Cui Xie appeared from beneath, red from anger and rage.

His hands, legs, and mouth were fully tied, he seemed just like some sort of dumpling-tied person. The whole crowd was shocked, just how the hell had this kid come out of there.

No matter how good one could be, he surely shouldn't have been able to escape the senses of the Ling Family Elders and even more so be tied like that underneath the table.

'Ughh…, mhhh…, mgghh…'

It was clear that Young Master Cui Xie wanted to say something, but due to his mouth being tied up no one could make sense of his words.

The Cui Family Elders were shocked by this scene as well, as they had no idea why Cui Xie was there at this moment.

At this moment, one of the Ling Family Elders acted in a rage,

"You damn little bastard, how dare you appear in front of us now!"

That Elder was no joke, he was a Realm 5 expert, and that palm was empowered by more than 50% of his full strength, and everyone in there could sense that.

If Young Master Cui Xie would be able to survive such an attack it would be a great miracle, even the geniuses like Young Master Ling or Young Master Cao felt unable to block that attack.

'Boooooommmmmmm~!'

Before the palm could reach its target though, someone appeared in front of Cui Xie and blocked the attack for him, and it was none other than one of the Cui Family elders.

"Don't you think you are jumping to conclusions Elder Ling!?"

"Youuu… Hahahah~! What are you going to defend this little bastard now that your ploy has been revealed!?"

"Hehehe~! Our ploy has been revealed!? I wonder what does Elder Ling mean by those words, after all my family Young Master appeared from under your table!

Don't tell me that a junior on the 2nd Realm was able to escape the senses of all the Elders of the honorable Cui Family in order to set up this plot!

Then wouldn't he be a great genius that even Heavens would be jealous of!? Has my Cui Family truly been blessed like this!? Wouldn't that make it extremely easy for us to assassinate all of you then!?"

Even though the words of this Cui Family Elder were like praise and thanks to the Heaven, his tone was full of irony and scorn!

The more he talked the more did the crowd start to realize that things didn't add up, and the darker did the Ling Family Elders' faces get.

Perhaps if that Elder hadn't made a move then this situation could still be saved, but now it made him look like he was trying to silence the witness.

Even those people that had been backing the Ling Family against the Cui Family until now couldn't help but take a step back now.

After all, why would the Ling Family need to apprehend Young Master Cui Xie and all of a sudden another fake one had appeared.

Even idiots would be able to put 2 and 2 together in this situation. Things became even more obvious as the Cao Family Elder looked towards the Ling Family people and said in a scoff,

"Brother Ling, this little brother is truly convinced today that he will never be a match for you.

But now that things have come up to here, my Cao Family would truly appreciate it if you didn't stop us from taking the antidote pill from the hands of Patriarch Li to save the life of our Young Master!"

"Brother Gui are you implying that this is a plan of my Ling Family!?"

"When did I ever mention something like that Brother Ling, those are your words! This old man is only concerned about the life of my Young Master!"

"Cao Gui don't try to act smart with this old man, my Ling Family has nothing to do with this!"

"Hahahah~! Are you trying to say you are innocent when the proof clearly shows you as a bandit!?

Elder Ling Ling, you have truly opened this one's eyes to the new limit of shamelessness, and hypocrisy!"

Now that there was a crack between the Cao and Ling Families, the 17th Elder of the Cui Family found the time to strike and worsen the cracks…
