If they participated, not only would they have to pay a lot of money to Eric's Master, but they were also bolstering his strength.
2 years was a short ti, but also a long ti. the disciples they were going to send might change their mind and decide to stay with him, and they would be just adding soldiers against themselves.
At the sa ti, the temptation of having another 5 High Heaven strong powerhouses in their lineup was just too big.
Their best choice would be to either make sure that the disciples wouldn't betray them or negotiate with Eric's Master to not keep them after.
Certainly, the cheapest and wisest choice for them was the first one, they had to make sure that the disciples they would send to him wouldn't turn sides.
The best way to do that was clearly making them slaves, or death soldiers of the family. They either stayed sane and beco powerhouses of the family, or perished without a trace.
Perhaps this might seem like a too crazy solution, but one should know that on Earth the strong people were divided into five Realms.
Water, Earth, Air, Heaven, and High Heaven, each Realm would then be separated into 4 levels, beginner, mid, high, and peak.
Even if it was a beginner High Heaven Realm strong guy, he would have at least a strength around level 80-85, clearly a powerhouse on Earth.
Kirigaya Kaito, or even his brother Kirigaya Endo the patriarch of the Kirigaya Clan wasn't that strong, this should give you a clear understanding of what the deal entailed.
How did Eric plan to do sothing like that!? Really easy actually, while that was impossible for so weak Earthlings, he had the Legacy System and all the resources in there.
High Heaven Realm was a powerhouse for a place like Earth, but the truth was that for the Immortal World it was just the beginning of the cultivation.
Level 100 was just the first cap, as after that lied a bigger and wider world that not many people could think about, but Eric knew about it.
For that reason, he was sure that as long as those guys weren't trash, with the resources from the Legacy System they should at least achieve the first cap.
What the world didn't know was that these guys would be just those he would show to the world, the real numbers only he would know.
In fact, he had already started the planning. In this week that the whole world was searching, and making decisions about him, and his Master, he had already started moving.
First things first, he had ordered Kirigaya Kaito, and Fujiwara Hatake to create him a 1000 n rcenary group, ready to be deployed as soon as possible to Africa or Arabia.
He was actually aiming for war-stricken countries, where he could kill as many as he wanted without many consequences.
Even though the rest of the world negated it, these places were just a stumble of rcenaries trying to kill each other daily.
As long as there was money, and connections involved these wars would never stop happening, and he didn't want them to end either.
At the sa ti, he had asked for 100 sothing people from Shiro too, and even so death soldiers among them in order to keep those guys under control.
While Kirigaya Kaito and Fujiwara Hatake could give their words, in Eric's eyes it was aningless. No one knows how people will react out of the eyes of the masses, and their bosses.
So, while he was taking them with him to kill, and die there, he didn't believe them a single bit. Only ti and their actions would test their skills, loyalty, and allegiance.
Of course, Akira, Mina, and the mother and daughter duo would be accompanying him, while Hilda would stay to take care of the two ladies.
He wanted to take her too, but he felt that it might bring so unwanted complications, and problems so he let her there.
In there at least nothing worked without his permission, and he had already connected the security with his System.
It was crazy when he had done it, but it was a feature of the System so he didn't lose ti and imdiately did it.
With this feature, he didn't even need to have wi-fi or connection to control his safe house, and it was practically impossible to breakthrough.
Another big news during the week was that the Yakuza had decided to pledge their allegiance and loyalty to Eric, and he had given them the green light to take care of his business until he got better.
Fujiwara Amane had all the rights to discuss conditions even with the big families, but certainly, the last word belonged to him.
That brought a great dissatisfaction with the big families but after what happened, none of them dared to say a thing.
Certainly, they tried to plant their moles and recruit from those who were dissatisfied with the situation, but the Yakuza didn't seem to care about them, and the big families couldn't go too far either.
In fact, the people who did sothing like that were only the Young Masters of the families without much support, and intelligence, as they jumped to the pool for new and easy strength.
The true big guys, would either recruit so powerful Masters after an extra check-up or just gave up on them.
No one knew if they were taking in a loyal dog, or a poisonous snake!
This week had been truly eventful and loaded with surprises, but the fact was that the upcoming weeks would be just the sa.
In order to ensure the justice, and righteousness of the bet, the big families and the participants decided to wait for Eric's recovery, so the start had been postponed by a month.
Even the big families, and Council of Five decisions, and possible disciple entries would be announced on that day.
During this one month, all the families had enough ti to secure the money, or resources of the sa value, for their eligibility to send disciples.
This would also be a good ti to lay low and escape the world's attention on Eric and his Master.
…
In the anti, Eric and his ladies were on a Cargo Ship traveling towards Port of Suez Canal. Their entry was illegal and they were going there as staff of the ship under fake identities.
He hadn't taken the Ship from Japan though as he had flown by plane to Europe first and then taken a Cargo Ship from France.
Call him a coward, a worrywart, or an overthinker, but he had a bad feeling about this. While this was supposed to be a safe way, and he had paid a lot of money for it, he still didn't feel safe at all.
So of the people in the staff, and around the ship were giving him so bad looks, and premonitions, so he had decided to alter the plan.
When they were at around 70% of their way towards the destination, he took the 4 ladies with him and jumped to the ocean.
Even with his strength, it would be impossible to cross 30% of the way towards Africa swimming, and that was just swimming without considering the dangers on the way.
But he didn't have to, as he had his space ring and his Legacy System. He had already prepared himself in case of ergency and already had taken the equipnt he needed to reach his goal.
He had bought a space ring for each of the Ladies, which was filled with diving equipnt, a few underwater motors, and food for a month.
Certainly, he didn't consider staying one month underwater, as he would have to return for the bet competition, and the disciple matters, but it was good to have back-ups.
In order to not attract attention, he pulled the ladies towards the bottom of the ocean, as he let the Cargo Ship trail away.
Apparently, his decision had been correct because not even 20 to 30 minutes later he heard the sounds and saw two motorboats following the Cargo Ship.
These boats were fast, and had no flags over them, as he could sense killing intent coming from those two boats.
They were clearly the ones behind those guys at the Cargo Ship, cold-blooded pirates. So, he didn't need to consider them much.
With these thoughts in mind, he started attracting their attention and pretending to be soone who was left there.
The pirates spotted him easily, and imdiately approached him with scary looks, after all, none of them was a good guy.
As soon as they approached, one of them asked him with a weird hoarse voice,
"Money, you have money!?"
It was clear that they wouldn't save him for free. If Eric was nothing more than dead weight then they didn't need him, it was as easy as that.
Unfortunately for them, they weren't facing the usual idiots stranded in the sea, as Eric quickly threw two C4 package explosives at them.
All this ti, Eric had learned one thing from the Legacy System, he would get the points for killing soone as long as he was the main cause they died.
As soon as he threw the two C4 packages, he imdiately activated them and entered underwater to escape the following impact.
In 3 seconds the two packages exploded, and he imdiately won a big sum of SP points, even though there were still alive pirates in there.
Facing Eric, even though underwater they were nothing more than easy targets, and really soon they were all dead, without exception.
Eric left the two boats on fire to attract the attention of the guards, as he left towards his goal…
