From that point on everything was easy for him, as he only needed to understand where he was, and find the shortest way to enter the 50 km radius around Master Miura's house, and teleport them there.

In here these two ladies would have company, and someone to talk to, and at the same time would be totally sealed off from any outside contact.

In order to be completely safe about it, he took their clothes off and checked them in and out to make sure that they didn't have any form of contact with the outside.

He placed their clothes in the inventory and told the other two ladies to give them something to wear later.

He would come back in the shortest time possible and bring them clothes, and other necessities they had.

As for the mother and daughter duo, they had a lot of unanswered questions and didn't know what was going on, but they didn't dare to ask.

Right now, Eric wasn't the most approachable guy, as he was really solemn, and thoughtful. They could only eat up their curiosity, and wait for when he was ready to share information with them.

Taking care of all these things, Eric turned around and said in a serious tone to the duo,

"Look over them, and don't disclose too much information. Tell them that I will come back as soon as I can to talk to them.

In the meantime, they can think of what they are going to say!"

With that said he disappeared from where he stood like some kind of black hole absorbed him inside suddenly, and there was no trace of him.

After seeing this happen for more than once, the two ladies seemed to have gotten used to it, as they could finally take a breath of relief.

They didn't truly know what to expect, or what to say to Eric, so they were just managing right now, trying to adapt to him.

One thing was for sure though, after a week alone, and in a closed space, the duo mother and daughter had become closer to each other and were now close as friends.

Humans do miracles when they are left with no other choice, and the same thing happened even to the two of them.

All their differences and problems were created due to their lack of communication were now patched up, and the two were closer than they would have ever thought.

Eric had been able to notice this, but it didn't matter right now as he was tired by all that what had happened today.

Not only was it a truly busy day at the Company as he had to deal with that interview marathon but also his plan to release some pent-up stress went out of the window, as his stress just piled up.

Those damn people not only had disrupted his party but had also taken away the opportunity he had to pile up some SP points.

To Eric, those guys were already dead and were already added to his SP points gains for today, but those damned retards had to interrupt him and take those points away from him.

Anyway, there was nothing he could do about it right now, the best he could hope for is that what he had done today was truly worth it.

But man, things were truly messy, not only had he found the real Yoshida Gina, that was supposed to have been by his side all this time but there was also that Young Miss whose identity wasn't known.

Fortunately, he would be able to find her identity, and what faction she belonged to, when she woke up, but until then he would have to think more about his plans.

Things were progressing too fast, and too complicated, and he still hadn't started laying his foundations.

Until now he had used the Yakuza's network as if was his own, but there were bound to be some slip-ups in the way, and he might have to forsake one of his pawns.

He wasn't worried about their loyalty as they were his slaves bound by their souls, so if tried to act against him, or betrayed him, then they would die, but he was worried about their slip-ups.

Human beings aren't perfect, and no matter how carefully, and how wisely people act, sometimes it's just not good enough, and they would make a small mistake.

Perhaps, someone they had talked to, something that had escaped their attention, there was bound to be something, and that seemingly unimportant something would turn in the weapon of their enemy.

That little thing would turn into the Reapers weapon for them, and they might lose everything just because of that simple mistake they did.

What happened tonight was truly important, and risky, so he couldn't allow others to know of his involvement in it.

It was still too early for him to show himself to the world outside, so he had to try his best to wrap things up a little bit.

With these thoughts in mind, Eric immediately started making his way towards Daisuke. This matter was much too important to be done through a text, so it had to be a mental order.

He didn't even send the guy a message to meet him, but directly walked to his office, in his old neighborhood.

He knew that Daisuke was in his office working on some matters he had told him to, so he immediately made way there.

Daisuke's office nowadays was on the second floor of a pub in the neighborhood, he had changed to this place because it had a side entrance from which Eric could enter, and leave easily.

At the moment Daisuke was having a small break with his secretary on his lap, as this was one of those rare moments when he could find some relaxation.

Lately, Akira seemed to have lost the harshest part of her anger towards him and wasn't torturing him as he did in the beginning, still, this didn't mean he enjoyed his life now.

His life was shitty at the moment, he was tiring himself like a horse for his new Master, and at the end of the day, the reward he got was inhuman torture.

He really hated this, but there was nothing he could do to escape from it. He could only clench his teeth, lower his head, and hope that someday he would be free.

The secretary wasn't bad, as she had an amazing body, and great curves, but Eric wasn't in the mood to care about her at the moment, as he had come here for a different reason.

On the other hand, just as Daisuke thought that he finally could have a break and have some fun with this secretary of his, he heard a voice in his head that made him wake up from the chair startled.

The contents were simple but ruthless!

'Shut down any wire used in the investigation of tonight's matter yourself, tie any loose ends, and lay low yourself. If you are caught, kill yourself before you say a word!'

Things had gone from bad to worse! Not only was he asked to kill a few of his trusted aides, and informers, but also ordered to kill himself if caught.

Still, this showed that the matter was really important, and he couldn't tarry it. Then he was reminded of something else.

The secretary in front of him was the one who had filed the information for him, and she was one of the people he had to take care of.

He felt really reluctant to do it, so he tried to converse with that voice inside his head.

"Master, the lady that is now here with me, is part of that list but I totally believe her, and don't think she will sell me out! Can you please let her live!?"

Eric was about to scream at him that he said any loose ends, but then he thought about something new, and said with a heavy voice,

"Deal with her as you wish, but remember your head is on the line!"

In fact, this lady had been Daisuke's secretary for some time now and had also been the one to help him face the difficult times he had experienced until now.

To Daisuke she had been like his healing angel, that would help him, and give him strength any time he needed it. For that reason, she had become a necessity for him, and he couldn't afford to lose her.

It wasn't that he didn't understand what Eric, his Master, meant with those words, it was just that he felt like he would go crazy if he didn't have her, so he could only risk it.

With those thoughts in mind, he said with gratitude,

"Thank you, Master, I understand!"

But there was no answer back to those words, and he understood that his Master had left the place, as he turned back to the woman that was now looking at him with surprise and startle on her eyes.

When he had suddenly stood up, he had unconsciously thrown her to the floor, as she had bumped with her butt, which was hurting a bit now.

She didn't understand what had just happened, as she thought that perhaps someone important had come for a moment, but there was no sign of it at the door.

There was no one else in the room besides the two of them. Perhaps this fuc*ker had finally gone truly crazy, and her time might have come to take advantage of that.

But the next moment she understood that probably it was just a false alarm, as he picker her up and sat her on his lap once again while apologizing for his sudden action.

She looked at him hurt, but if she only knew that she had just escaped death, what would she think about it?
