"Wha-What is this?"
One of the kids couldn't hold his amazement as he blurted these words unconsciously, but everyone seemed to be wanting to know the same thing.
Looking at the city in front of him, Eric said in a matter of fact tone,
"This is my dominion and your new home! From now on, you will be living and training here. You will be able to leave this place only when you are strong and loyal enough!"
These words were said to the kids, but also to Ice. Eric was clearly telling her that if she wanted to leave this place from now on, she could do so only when Eric trusted her enough.
Ice had a weird face when she heard those words, but she didn't say anything. No one knew what she was thinking at that moment, but it surely was something that had to do with Eric.
As for the other three ladies, they were already aware of this place, as they knew that this was the reason why they had arrived here.
While they were all amazed by the view in front of them and had yet to recollect their selves, the Realm 2 Puppet appeared in front of them.
"Welcome Master! Enemies or Residents?"
In one moment the Realm 2 puppet seemed harmless and friendly, while the next she looked like some kind of terrifying killer.
The pressure it descended only by one word, was enough to shock and scare the kids, while Ice and the other ladies seemed to be in a much better situation.
"Residents!"
"Acknowledged!"
The moment that this place had become Eric's the Realm 2 Puppet belonged to him as well, and only his voice carried weight with the Realm 2 Puppet.
Furthermore, he had also set a soul imprint on the Realm 2 puppet in order to have a better control over it, if he needed to.
Just one word was enough for the Realm 2 puppet to immediately stop whatever pressure it was giving and step down on the side, surprising the people beside Eric even more.
They couldn't feel any kind of living aura from the puppet, but still, it acted just like a normal person. If it weren't for the fact that it looked metallic, and had a strange color, they would think it was a human corpse.
Eric just accompanied everyone towards the City Lord Mansion, or that was what he liked to call the best and biggest Mansion in the Nightless Stone City.
Besides that one, he had already decided to keep the first line of houses from his Mansion for himself, and his ladies, as the filling would happen in three borders.
The first border from the second line of the houses to 1/5 of the city, which would make the core district of the city.
The second border from the 1/5 border to the 1/3 border which would be the inner district of the city, where the inner citizens would be placed.
And the third and last border from the 1/3 border to the end, containing 2/3 of the full Nightless Stone City become the Outer district.
The moment that he opened the door of the Mansion though, he was immediately attacked by the beauty inside, who clearly seemed to have missed him a lot.
Ren Jia had clearly been extremely bored inside this place, as the whole Mansion seemed to be sparkling inside and outside.
It was the only clean building in the City, and one couldn't understand the amount of work needed to keep this place clean.
Eric didn't reject her advances as he started kissing her back with fervor until Hilda finally couldn't take it anymore and coughed lightly,
"Master, I don't dare to disrupt your moment here, but the kids are here as well!"
"Oh, right, right! Well then let me introduce you! This is Ren Jia one of your sisters! While these are Hilda, Meriko, Juna, and Ice! As for the kids, their names are in numbers, from one to seven!"
Ren Jia wasn't surprised at the introduction of the ladies, as she didn't feel like she had any right of opinion on Eric's life.
She was happy as long as Eric didn't forget about her. She had been able to understand this, these days that she had been completely alone.
To her, Eric was just like some shiny spark that had suddenly illuminated her world and given her a direction to strive for.
As for the other ladies, they had long thought of their selves as Eric's property, as they had sold their selves to him. For different reasons, and prices but they had done the same thing.
The only one who had a weird expression at the moment was Ice. Normally she was a woman of high pride and wouldn't accept even wealthy and handsome Young Masters to court her.
She had only accepted the marriage with the snake guy due to her Master, and she had thought that her man would only have her.
But now, not only didn't Eric have only her, but she had started to feel a weird sense of wanting to keep him for herself. Which she knew was impossible since she was only a slave at the moment.
Eric noticed her expressions, but he didn't care much about it. Ice was only his slave at the moment, and while she had shown some progressive steps, it was still too early for her to level up in his list.
After quickly introducing the place, and their routine from now on, Eric told the kids to train hard, as he left this place under Ren Jia's order.
Ice was to stay here to train and cultivate herself while being the master of the 7 kids, while the rest of his ladies would start the 'Big Transportation Project'!
The Big Transportation Project was nothing else but the transportation of all the people that he had put under his banner in Africa, and all the other purchased.
Since this Nightless Stone City had a capacity of a few million, Eric was planning to fill it up at least at 70-80% of the capacity.
With these things taken care of, Eric quickly gave a few new orders to the Realm 2 Puppet, and then left the dimensional space through the space formation.
Reappearing once again in the small villa in the outskirts of Okinawa, Eric quickly sat in the lotus position over the bed and started cultivating and meditating.
These two trips he had taken through the Space Formation had truly tired him up, so he needed to recuperate and recover his energy.
When he opened his eyes once again, the sun had started shining on the horizon and he could even hear some dogs barking outside, so he quickly stood up, and took a quick shower.
When he was finally over, he started going through the spoils of war that he had received the other day.
There was quite a bit of cash, weapons, files, and even 2 new space rings, with a much smaller space than his.
These two space rings belonged to the 2 Realm Two experts that he had managed to kill through the explosives.
Since the Masters of the two rings had died then their soul imprints had clearly been erased, so he would be able to possess them easily.
Without losing even a second of time, he quickly dropped two blood drops over the rings and felt the connection establish.
The two rings clearly had quite a bit more cash than the other guys combined, as just one of them had more than 300.000 dollars in cash.
There were two cultivation manuals, and also two skill books, some pills, some potions, and some weird information.
Still, just these two space rings were enough for him to feel that the whole fight was worth it, but he wasn't satisfied with just that.
The next items managed to satisfy him though, as he found a pair of beautiful red gloves, and the gun of that late-appearing master.
One look at the gun was enough to understand that this wasn't a common one, and most probably it was custom made.
What surprised Eric the most though, were the bullets of this gun, as their heads were either clear silver or clear gold.
He didn't know what difference they made, or why this guy would use them, but they clearly weren't normal. Well, he guessed that he would find out when he used them anyway.
His benefits were nothing small, but unfortunately were nothing big either. The manuals were too low level for him, and the skills looked full of mistakes.
It was clear that these big organizations wouldn't hand their full and complete manuals and techniques to suspicious people.
They would rather prefer impeding the potential of a few genius fighters and preserve the status quo than trying to improve with these geniuses.
Well, it wasn't a wrong choice, as there were no right or wrong choices in this world. There were only benefits and interests.
While it might look like an injustice to these fighters' potential, it was clearly a mode of self-preservation for the organizations these guys were part of.
Well, it wasn't like Eric was placing all his hopes in these skills, and their use anyway. He had his Legacy System to help him with that.
The skills in his Legacy System were amazing skills coming from the Origin World, skills that would make even those guys of the Origin World crazy with desire, and envy.
With those happy thoughts in his mind, Eric quickly placed everything to the back of his head, and made his way towards the coast…
