Kirigaya Endo that he was looking at seemed like a person who had reached the climax of his life. At the moment he didn't seem to aspire to anything behind what he was achieving.
The newfound easy power that he had cultivated until now most probably had corrupted him, and he couldn't bother himself anymore to reach new heights, as he had reached his peak. ??
At least in the opinion of someone at the level of Eric's ambition and greed. These two were the drivel behind the great desire for strength and power.
No matter how many people tried to beautify these two and claim that they weren't doing this for themselves, it was just crap in his opinion.
While at first these reasons were truly pure and clean, somewhere down the line it got spoiled, and the only true drivel left were ambition and greed.
Greed for strength, power, and longevity. Of course, the desire to protect what they had was a motive but only strength and power could achieve that.
Down the line strength and power became so needed that they couldn't stop in their place anymore and had to move forward, that was if they didn't want to end up as a stepping stone for someone else.
All this was clearly lacking in the eyes of Kirigaya's Clan new Patriarch. Probably all he could think at the moment was to spoil himself using his power and authority and enjoy his life.
Probably only when he found some new target, or when death would come looking at him he would he think of moving forward once again.
This evaluation truly made Eric despise him, but also made him more assured about the success of his plan, and of Kirigaya Kaito's win.
With these thoughts on his mind, and knowing they didn't have much of enmity with him, it was easier for Eric to deal with him, and not work much of an attitude.
He looked calm and carefree as he looked at his guest, who was clearly a bit agitated that Eric didn't seem to be afraid of him.
While Eric didn't care much about him, and his attitude, Kirigaya Kaito's little girl was clearly a bit worked up and worried.
She knew what kind of animal the person she was probably going to marry was, and she was afraid that he would attack indiscriminatingly Eric and kill him.
No matter how thick his killing intent was, or how sharp and capable he looked like, in her eyes Eric was clearly weak, and could not afford to receive even a small hit from her Patriarch and future husband.
Trying to defuse this dangerous situation she looked at the person that had followed her here and said in an angry voice,
"What are you doing here? Why have you been following me?"
Kirigaya Endo was clearly a bit dissatisfied with this girls behavior, or to be more precise with his future wife's behavior, as he said with a defeated voice,
"Don't be like that little girl, even though he is a traitor of our Clan, he is still my brother, and your father, so I will have to receive his blessings.
I came here to try and talk to him, and perhaps we can find a way to bring him back to the Clan!"
His words seemed to surprise even the girl in front of him, as probably she had never expected these words, but what was more important was her father's opinion and attitude.
She wanted the best for her father, he was still her hero even at a moment like this. But the fact remained that he never opposed her uncle's accusations of betraying the clan.
He had just left the Clan, his wife, his daughters behind, and started this restaurant in here seeming as if he wanted to disappear.
And then made friends with someone like Eric, who clearly had no relation to the Kirigaya Clan. Just what was going on? She couldn't understand anything!
But while she was a bit startled at his words, Eric just looked towards Kirigaya Endo with a mocking look, and said in a low voice,
"Flowery words do indeed capture a maiden's heart and mind. I truly admire you big brother, you are really good with your words!"
Eric's words were like a clap of thunder in the clear sky, as once again he had the full attention of the intruders inside the restaurant.
The girl in front of him was thinking that Eric's words made sense and knowing her uncle's personality, those were probably empty words.
It was just that she was really weak, confused, and complicated at that moment, and she was dying to find a little hope in her and her family's situation.
And even more, now that her father was missing, she didn't know what to think or do anymore. But then a new alarm sounded inside her mind, Eric had provoked her uncle.
This wasn't something that could be taken lightly, as he was a really narcissistic and egotistical person. Eric's words had clearly infuriated him, so she didn't know how he would react after this.
Kirigaya Endo had truly been infuriated with Eric's words, and he seemed like he wanted to kill this person for his rudeness, and spoiling his attempt, while Eric didn't seem to care in the least.
He was looking Kirigaya Endo directly in his eyes like he was trying to say that he wasn't afraid in the least by the threat he was emitting from his eyes.
This clearly surprised the young Kirigaya Patriarch, as he asked in a confused voice,
"Kid you seem to be really confident in yourself when you have the strength of a weak little ant in front of my eyes!
Tell me do you wish that much to die?"
It was a clear threat, and it was a true possibility. If he wanted he just needed to exert the power of his small finger, and Eric would fall to the ground lifeless.
Eric on the other hand didn't seem to care about the threats of Kirigaya Endo, as he looked him directly in the eyes and said in a clear voice,
"Big brother is surely jesting, I am still young and there are still a lot of things I want to do, and taste. There is no way I will die so young, but I think that you might not share the same thought as I do!"
Kirigaya Endo was getting more and more surprised by Eric's actions and words, he seemed to not mind him, his strength, and his power in the least.
But there was one thing that especially took his attention, Eric not only wasn't worried about him but was also returning his threat at the same time.
This clearly attracted his curiosity, as he looked towards Eric with killing intent leaking out of his body, and pressure building up in Eric's surroundings, as he said in a confused and threatening voice,
"What do you mean by that kid!? Are you threatening to kill me!?"
Eric didn't pay any intention to the killing intent coming from him, and as for the pressure that was being applied he used his newly learned death law to make it more bearable, as he said,
"Big brother is jesting again, this little brother clearly doesn't have the necessary strength or reason to do such a thing.
Unfortunately, big brother has been poking at a sleeping beast all this time, and the beast has finally awakened, and it seems that your death is more important than its own life.
I am afraid that big brother's time is ticking right now, and most probably your wedding day will turn into your death day!"
Kirigaya Endo felt a shiver through his whole being when he heard those words, he had thought that after being poisoned his brother had lost all hope and was just a dead man walking.
But now hearing Eric's words he was once again reminded of his deepest fear, his elder brother. He had always been a horn on his mind.
Now Eric was confirming his doubts, that his brother couldn't hold back anymore and would jump the gun, but even though this was what he wanted to achieve he felt fear when he confirmed it.
Of course, his brother's wife, and daughters were to satisfy his lust and desires, but he wasn't able to relax with his brother still alive.
What if one day the poison stopped working? It was time for his brother to die, so he decided to deal with both issues at the same time.
He had wanted this to happen, but he didn't understand why he had a bad premonition about this. His brother was poisoned, and couldn't use that terrifying strength of his.
Finding a cure to his poison was almost impossible, this was his systems analysis, and he had spent a lot of SP points to buy that poison.
Thinking like that he was able to calm down a bit, but he didn't like the look on Eric's face. He looked at him like his fate was sealed.
He didn't like that at all, he didn't understand why but Eric was agitating him more than his elder brother. Eric also had some veil of mystery around him.
He didn't know why but he had the feeling that he should kill Eric while he had the chance. With that thought in mind, he disappeared from his place, aiming at Eric.
Even in this situation, Eric didn't seem to be worried in the least, he was staying there calm as a lake. Kirigaya Kaito's daughter was still thinking about his previous words and wasn't able to react in time.
But even when his life seemed to come close to the end, Eric didn't seem worried in the least, as he said in a weak but calm voice…
