Just as the two ladies were about to start getting better, and recollecting themselves, they saw the face of the man behind the mask, and the shock was just too big for them.
Of all the possibilities they could think of, including their wildest imaginations, they would have never thought this was the identity of the person behind the mask.
This was the one possibility that they would always erase from their brains instinctively, in fact, it wouldn't appear as a possibility at all.
And yet this impossible possibility was the one they needed, as the man behind the mask was this guy, Eric Jade.
The fact that they had been tired out the whole night didn't help either, as it acted as a catalyst to their shock, and they fell unconscious in his arms.
Eric expected sothing like that, and he kind of did it intentionally. If he didn't do it, they would bombard him with questions and explanations, and he had no intention of hearing a show he wouldn't participate in.
So, he just took them to his bedroom in this place, covered them under the sheets, and then left a letter behind for them to read.
The letter was simple, he assured the two ladies that what they had seen was the truth, he was Eric Jade, the one and only.
Then he continued by telling them their duties, and what they had to do inside this place, also clearly stating that for the mont they wouldn't be able to co out.
The two of them could take this ti to deeply think and reflect about themselves, and what they wanted from their future, but one thing was certain, that future was beside him.
He intentionally hadn't explained to them anything about how all this ca about, and he beca such a person, with such abilities, simply because he didn't need to.
These two ladies were nothing more than his slaves at the mont, and they would do anything that he wished them to do, without any objection, if they wanted to live a good life that is.
And he didn't have any doubts that they would co along whatever he said, knowing them, and their mindset.
With that out of the way, he used his escape talismans once again to reappear where he had been a few monts ago, as he started to go towards his new ho.
He knew that there would be so people that would be angry at him for disappearing as he did, but he didn't care, as he thought it was ti to make so things clear as well.
Just as he expected as soon as he reached his new ho, Tatsuya Minami practically jumped over him in rage as she scread,
"Eric Jade, how dare you to disappear from your security like that, without leaving any clue behind!?"
If it wasn't for the fact that he noticed even traces of worry in the tone of her voice, then Eric would have exploded on her as well, clearly showing her the position she held.
But those traces of worry made him be a bit more considerate of her, but still, this didn't change his line of thought, just his tone as he said with a calm, and serious voice,
"Miss Tatsuya you should consider your standing and position. While I do respect you, and your feelings, you should understand that we play for the sa purpose, but not the sa team.
You should know that I am not stupid enough to think that the security details that you guys placed upon are just for my security.
Furthermore, with my strength, those security details are just decorations to fool the human eyes. So, you better consider the situation before you jump into a rage don't you think!?"
Tatsuya Minami got even more enraged as she once again scread at him,
"How can you say that, after all that we have done for you!?"
Hearing that Eric was startled, and surprised by what he heard, as he asked,
"What have you exactly done for !?"
Still, in her rightful tone of rage, Tatsuya Minami was screaming at him,
"We helped you deal with the Kirigaya Clan, and also allowed you to save your people!
We helped you clean your na with the foreign agencies, and gave you a special status in front of them.
We are providing you with protection, and even staking our na in front of the big families, don't tell you are going to take all this for granted!"
Contrary to her expectations though, Eric started laughing out loud, at her reproaching screams, making her feel really wronged, and angered.
She felt like she was about to give this guy the beating of his life if he didn't start talking, and explaining why he was laughing at her like that.
Eric had it a bit difficult to control himself from laughing, as he couldn't believe just how naïve, and innocent had soone of her age to be, to truly believe that bullshit.
For that reason, he was laughing out of his anger, because those old things that had forgotten to die, truly knew how to twist things, and make the black look white.
He was so angry right now, that he couldn't even stop himself from speaking out loud in her face,
"Your call that help!?
They dealt with the Kirigaya plan because it was in their best interests if they still wanted to have a life that is.
While I agree that the Old Ghost tried to save my life with clear intentions, that is a favor that I owe to him, and not your people.
You allowed to save only a 10th of the Kirigaya Clan, which included only their direct families, all the others were either slaughtered or taken Heavens knows where.
You helped clean the na that you sared yourself! Not to ntion that you also set up, and wanted to kill after that.
You are protecting ? Giving just decorations from your forces, only to snoop around, and try to block my acting freely.
Is that what you have done for ? Is this what you fuc*king call helping ? Should I be grateful for this help?"
Tatsuya Minami was left speechless at this mont, she hadn't thought about these things until now as she was worried about him.
And at the sa ti, she still thought that she held that professor role in front of him, that he was unable to object or reject.
It was only now that she finally understood that she had been confusing her feelings, and her personal life with her job, and position.
She could also finally understand why those guys had given her the mission to get as close as possible with Eric, try to build so kind of relationship with him.
At that mont it was like everything she had failed to understand until now, had finally dawned on her, and she could perfectly understand her position.
She had thought that Eric and the higher-ups had a really solid relationship, and everything they did was just to show their goodwill towards each other, or at least that was what she wanted to believe.
All this ti she had been trying to make herself believe that she was sent in her mission only to deepen the relationship between the two parts and that everything would go oily for her.
But the truth was far from what she wanted to believe, the truth was much darker than she wanted to think.
At this mont she couldn't control herself, as she fell on her knees, crying, as she said with a weak voice,
"No, no, this can't be true! You are lying to ! You are just being an to ! It can't be true!"
Seeing her on the ground, crying like that, Eric sobered up from his anger, and easily understood that he had gone a bit too far.
In fact, the biggest problem was that he had given such a show in front of his ho, and the other people had heard him as well.
He had arrived here in a really good mood, he was extrely happy and satisfied that a part of his revenge had started to take shape, but he didn't expect this woman to rile him up so quickly.
Most probably it was because he cared too much about her, and didn't want her to keep having those stupid thoughts inside her mind, or perhaps it was just a mont of ntal instability.
Either way, the damage was already done, and he couldn't take back a single word of what he said.
Surely as soon as those old fogies took a report on this, they would raise their guard against him, but he couldn't care less about that.
The truth was clear for everyone to see, as he didn't think that those guys thought he was so stupid as to not understand their moves and motives.
It was just like he said, they were working towards the sa goal, but they didn't belong to the sa team.
At the mont the situation was in a kind of status quo where each side was trying to use the other side to grow while being aware of each other's growth at the sa ti.
It was so kind of symbiotic relationship until one side grew big enough to eat the other side whole without suffering much damage.
Eric was more than aware of this, and those fogies were too, but they had gone a bit too far by trying to ss with his people.
If he wanted Tatsuya Minami to wake up from her stupid dream he had to give her a powerful waking shock, and this was valid for Inuhara Hina as well.
They had to perfectly know the consequences if they decided to take that step ahead. With that done, and with these thoughts on his mind, he just walked forward, and disappeared inside the house…
