"Some people are shameless beyond boundaries, don't you think so old man!? Hhahahah~!"

It was only at this moment that the truth was finally revealed to the poor old man, whose face was a mix of green, red, and purple.

What he had just hit a moment ago had been nothing more than a mirror, that God knows how it had appeared inside the small dark place, while Eric and his Young Master Cui Xie were behind him.

In simpler words, Eric had played a magic trick upon the old man, using the mirror and a bit of fast speed light direction and calculation, he had created an illusory image in the mirror.

Still, one had to admit to his speed, and quick thinking, as most probably he had planed of this the moment that the bombs had exploded, or shortly after.

It was clear that Eric was some kind of genius and a terrifying one at that. Despite hating him to the bone, the old man couldn't help but praise him inside his heart at the same time.

On the other hand, Eric seemed to have been dissatisfied by the old man's attitude, as without even as much as a notice, he made a cut on the poor Young Master Cui Xie's throat.

The cut wasn't big, but it was done precisely on Young Master Cui Xie's carotid artery, which was then immediately pressed upon by Eric.

If Young Master Cui Xie didn't take some clot-buster medicine or quickly close on that wound, then he would surely die in 5-15 seconds.

If anything happened to Eric at that point, and he lost the control of the pressure, then Young Master Cui Xie was as good as dead.

Meaning that even if he wanted to drink Eric's blood at that moment, the old man couldn't make a move against him, lest he wanted his Young Master to die.

After doing what he needed to do, Eric quickly turned his attention towards the old man in front of him, and said with a creepy grin on his face,

"Old man, I am sure that you already know what I did, so I don't need to explain it! Now, just as you can see, you only have two options.

Either do as I say and your Young Master lives, or you try to kill me and he dies!

So, what is going to be?"

No matter how angry and how unwilling he was with this whole situation, the old man couldn't bring himself to make a move.

Leaving aside whether his Young Master lived or died, he didn't even have the confidence in killing or dealing a blow to Eric.

Thinking like that, he understood just how dark their situation was, and just how trapped he actually was.

Still, he didn't want to give up, as he used the last straw that he thought that it could help them.

"Do you know who he is? Do you know who are you messing with?"

Eric had to say that he felt quite respectful towards the old man, and this Young Master Cui Xie for not using their background earlier, but at the same time he thought it was foolish to think that it could work now.

"I don't! I have no idea who I am messing with! But if those guys are true as you are making them be, then will they leave me to go if I let you go now?

Do you think it's possible? Or are you just trying to take me for a fool old man?"

Both, the old man and Young Master Cui Xie were extremely startled and shocked hearing him accept that he had no idea who they were.

But even more so when they heard the second part of his words. After all, it was just as Eric said, there was no way that whoever was behind them would ever let him go with what happened.

Despite the fact that Cui Xie was sort of expelled from his family. Those guys would still not allow him to throw their family's face away.

Not to mention that there were still people who thought highly of him and backed him in his family. This old man was enough evidence of that!

"Sigh~!"

The old man couldn't help but release a long and emotional sigh as he approached Eric's location while relaxing himself and opening his Conscience Sea for him.

More than words, he showed his decision with his actions, even though it was clear that he wasn't convinced with this.

In fact, he had thought that the moment that Eric entered his Conscience Sea and tried to set his slave seal in there, he would just trap him in there, and kill him.

Even though that would endanger his Young Master's life, he couldn't help but do it. After all, a servant of the Cui family belongs to the Cui family only.

Too bad that Eric had no intention of exposing himself to dangers, and on top of it was backed by his Dragon Empress, and his Legacy System.

Without losing time, the moment that the old man was enough of a distance from him, he quickly bit on his thumb to draw blood and drew the symbol on the old man's forehead.

Before the old man could even react to what happened and the changes, some blood-red chains appeared out of nowhere, completely chaining his Soul Avatar.

When he finally thought of reacting, a head-splitting headache hit him without mercy, as if trying to punish him for thinking wrongly.

The more he thought of doing something to Eric, the more intense was the pain in his head, and the more heart-wrenching was his teeth cracking, and the quiet scream.

It didn't take him long to understand what was going on, and the cause of his headache, so even if he didn't want to, he had no choice but to forget the idea of harming Eric.

Once he did so, then his headache was completely gone, with no sign of ever existing. Well despite his momentary trauma.

On the other hand, Eric was extremely pleased with the quick result, but his job wasn't over yet. In fact, it had just started.

Without losing much time, he quickly released the lock on Young Master Cui Xie's carotid artery, quickly applied a bit of medium quality Health Potion in there, and then drew the symbol on his forehead.

In no time Eric had already gained another healthy and necessary slave for himself. Since he couldn't take the stage himself, then he would need someone to do so.

Cui Xie was the perfect person to do so, not only did he have strength, and potential to grow stronger, but he also had a deeper background that could become bendy to him.

Once he was done with the two of them, it was the turn of Cui Xie's four trusted generals. If he wanted a consolidated, and united front, he could afford to leave any loose ends.

But while Eric's mood seemed to get better and better, the poor old man's mood was getting worse and worse.

The moment that he saw Eric release his Young Master like that, he thought that he had lost his mind and was trying to kill him.

Even though he knew the consequences of his possible actions, he couldn't help but have negative thoughts towards Eric, and his headache started once again.

Despite having his fair share of torturous, and suffering moments, the old man still thought that this suffering could easily enter his top 10.

Imagine his surprise and shock when he saw that not only was his Young Master in perfect condition but even the cut and his injuries had been healed completely.

If before this happened they thought that Eric was just a fighting genius, and an extremely cunny one at that, right now they felt that he was becoming mysterious, and unpredictable.

Both of them couldn't help but think about just what had they been dragged into, and whether they would be able to survive all this.

Too bad that neither of them had any choice, as they were now just slaves serving the same Master, being Eric.

On the other hand, Eric quickly took care of the remaining four, as he left the short fatty out of this whole mess, as he still had a bit of resentment towards him.

It didn't matter much though, with Cui Xie and the others under him, the Underworld of Longgang City belonged completely to him.

Now he just needed to take control of the white as well, before he stabilized his position and started thinking of expansion.

First things first though, as the most urgent matter at the moment was to leave this place and find a comfortable hidden place.

As matter had it, the place where he was staying right now was one of the dungeons that the Corruption Policy Division would use to interrogate their targets.

The good thing was that it was far away from the normal police division, and the prison, but the bad news was that it had already passed 2 days.

He had been awake all this time, as he had only pretended to be sleeping, but he still had been unable to notify Ren Jia.

He just hoped that she hadn't done any stupid mistake that could complicate things in the future. Clearly with no bad intentions, but the simplest mistake might cause him dearly.

After all, from today forth he would be the new Master of the Longgang City, and slowly into the whole Wenzhou Prefecture…
