Now that was another important piece of news, as it seemed like his dear father-in-law was distancing himself from him.
Just what was that snake thinking at this moment, trying to make a break from him? Did he think that he had truly died or something?
No that couldn't be it, there must be something else that he knew so he was trying to cut of ties with him. But what?
One thing was for sure though, he would have to pay more attention to his 'dear' father-in-law from now on, and also be a bit more careful around him.
Things were truly getting more and more complicated and interesting, not only for him but for everyone else as well.
Everyone had started to move alongside him, just like the small mechanical parts of a clock, he was the small piece that started the whole thing and made everything move once again.
From now on the game would have more players, and would certainly be more fun to play. But at the same time, he couldn't let his fun spoil his preparations and plans, otherwise, he was doomed.
Seeing him think like that, Takeshiba Aika felt like he might misunderstand her, as she immediately said almost screamingly,
"But don't worry Master, I have no intention of listening to anyone else but you! I will do whatever you tell me to!"
"Hah!?"
Eric was still lost in his thoughts when he heard her say something unexpected like that, but she didn't seem to have finished as she continued, but this time with a timid and low voice,
"So, please don't throw me away Master! If I were to burden you, you can throw me away certainly, but I don't want you to throw me away!
I wouldn't want to lose you, as my life, body, heart, and soul belong to you Master, but at the same time, I wouldn't want to block your path! Mhmmm~!"
She was about to continue speaking more when suddenly Eric blocked her mouth with a deep and juicy French kiss, and only when he had his fun he stopped and said to her,
"I have no plan on throwing you away, you are my woman for the rest of your existence!"
Hearing that Takeshiba Aika couldn't help but let a teardrop of happiness fall from her eye to her cheek, and then her nape.
From the moment she had heard about the bet and the stakes she wasn't angry at her Master Eric, she was afraid that he might have decided to throw her away.
She didn't want to be thrown away, she had decided to commit everything she had to him, and only him! Everyone else that came trying to earn her attention was nothing more than a pesky fly to her.
So, hearing that hit her soft corner, and she couldn't help but cry with happiness. As she attacked for another deep and French kiss from her Master.
With her doubts finally cleared, she started speaking even more enthusiastically to him,
"By the way Master I have already fixed everything with the women on the list that you gave me, now all that is left is for you to select the time, and give them the finishing blow yourself!
Even though I am sure that more than half of them would fall with your first thrust!"
"Oh, just like you did?"
"Well you can't blame me, Master is just that good after all!"
Eric was trying to tease her, but who would expect that this shy and timid beauty in his arms would say something like that. She had truly changed, from the bossy, and arrogant woman of before.
Still, he managed to recollect himself rather quickly, so he asked,
"What about your mother, and your sister?"
"They have been asking me about you a lot, but more than romantically they seem to have personal interests in doing so Master, so you better be careful around them.
Don't believe them easily!"
"You know that they are your mother and your sister, right? Are you sure exposing them like that in front of me?"
"Well, Master has priority! Furthermore, Master doesn't plan on harming them too much, and they will soon join me into serving Master, so it's all right, I think!"
Her words made sense, but it was still a bit too objective considering her position. Just what had happened to turn this beauty into such an obsessed servant for him?
He had no idea what it was, and the truth to be told he was still a bit reluctant to accept it, as he still had his doubts, but there was no reason for rejecting something like this at this point in time.
At the moment he could only think that he was lucky to have such a servant by his side, that would think of his interests, and words over anything else.
After talking a bit more, and having another bout of love before leaving, this time it was gentle lovemaking, the two of them left the motel without getting noticed.
Just what kind of scandal would explode if someone saw Takeshiba Aika, and Eric get out of a motel! No one would be able to imagine the scale and its effect on the country.
Right now, Eric had become that important, that just the scandal of his affair could have a great deal of damage not only to the Takeshiba Group of Companies but Japan as a whole.
To him it was normal though, he was used to that kind of pressure upon his shoulders, and what was most important was that he didn't give a shit what happened to the others as long as he was happy himself.
He had never thought of himself as a hero, in fact, if someone from the normal world would describe him, they would say he was a villain.
A psycho, someone that would kill whoever blocked his path, and whoever endangered his existence and his happy future.
If one asked his family, or the people that he would make sure to be happy with, then he would be a hero.
And if someone asked him about what he was, he would say that he was just someone who did whatever worked to get what he wanted.
He didn't see evil, or justice in front of him he just saw what was useful, and necessary. Not to mention that there was no such a thing as pure evil or pure justice in this world.
Even less someone who was purely evil, or purely just. Even if something like that existed, then surely it wasn't pathetic, and a hypocrite like humans.
Getting out of the red district, Eric was faced with the crowds of people moving endlessly through their path.
People going to work, students going to university, children going to school, all kinds of people, with all kinds of professions, and passions were passing by, without even caring about the existence of those around them.
In a way, all these people were doing exactly the same thing that Eric was doing, they were going their path without caring about the others.
The only difference between the two was the scale, and reason for doing so. They wanted to just survive the daily life, while Eric wanted to survive the time, space, history, and others like him.
Not even for a single moment, had Eric thought that he was the only one who was thinking to reach the top of the food chain.
There were so many more people out there wishing, and fighting to do the same, with only one of them being able to reach the apex.
All others would either stop along the way, or would become stepping stones for the others, like Eric.
It was messed up, surely, but this was the real world out there, where people were driven by their ambitions, desires, greed, and power.
Eric wasn't different from them, after all, what was fuelling him at the moment was the desire for revenge, and to reach the top.
He truly wanted to go out there, and have a look at that World of Immortals out there. He wanted to have a look at what was hidden in the horizon.
Thinking like that, he just let out a deep sigh, as he turned to walk towards his next destination. Now that the sun was up as usual, it was time for him to return to his working position.
After all, he didn't have received any notification from the Takeshiba Group of Companies that he had been dismissed of his position as the Vice-President of the Group.
Furthermore, it was time for him to have another meeting face to face with his 'dear' father-in-law, in order to better understand his position with respect to him.
Thinking like that, he took out his phone, and made a call. In less than 15 minutes, a limo was standing in front of him, as the driver came out to open the door for him.
Inside the limo there was a new secretary waiting for him, after he made Hilda disappear with him in that bomb assassination.
Needless to say, that even this one had been granted to him by his father-in-law, who seemed to have acknowledged his mistake with Hilda, and this time he had sent a dangerous carnivorous flower.
Forgetting the fact that she wasn't pure, and untouched, this woman had an aura around her that made her feel like she was some kind of woman that lived by sucking man dry.
For a moment there, Eric actually was reluctant to enter inside the limo, but it was just a fleeting moment, as he immediately entered inside freely.
The secretary was a bit startled by his confidence, and naturality, but she still recollected herself and started to introduce herself,
"Hello Master Eric, my name is Kela, I will be your personal assistant and secretary from now on, as per orders of Master Takeshiba!"
