Takeshiba Aika:" I don't think that my brother will contribute much in this collaboration with Master Miura, as a big part of his forces were sent to help me in this operation."
Hearing her words, Eric looked at her with a satisfied and curious look, as he said, ??
Eric:" Oh, please collaborate on what you said!"
Taking her cue Takeshiba Aika started collaborating on her words,
Takeshiba Aika:" My third brother has 4 teams of trained soldiers under him, with one extra team provided from father for his security.
This time he gave me 2 teams of trained soldiers under him with the deal that he will get 50% of the haul.
This means that he has left only two teams of soldiers, and the team of guards given to him by our father.
While I don't know how much he wants you dead, I am sure he won't risk himself for it."
Eric seemed really interested in her words, after all, Takeshiba Yuto was someone he would have to face sooner or later.
So he had to know how much power he had, besides his family's background.
The best thing would be to know even the level of his soldiers, but Takeshiba Aika wouldn't know much about it.
Actually, Eric had already seen all this in her memories, but he was letting her say it, just to compare with her memories, and see if she was being honest or not, and she didn't disappoint him until now.
Looking at her pretty face, he said with a light smile,
Eric:" I know about all this beautiful, from the moment you became my slave, all your memories became mine, and there is nothing I don't know about you!"
Letting Takeshiba Aika process his words for a moment, he then continued,
Eric:" In fact, it's just like you said, as long as you are here and not return his men to him, he would never dare to risk much in this.
But the thing is, this time he won't need to do much. Only his reputation and background would be enough to create a hole in my defense.
After that Master Miura can take care of the rest using his own soldiers, which are not few. Though like I said, the biggest problem would be your brother's participation in this using your family's name."
All the time he spoke his voice was calm and carefree like all this was a little game for him, and there was no way he was losing this game.
Takeshiba Aika wasn't a lightheaded idiot, she was really intelligent and quick-witted, the only reason she hadn't shown much of that was because of her fear of her brothers' reaction.
Also due to her snobbish attitude, and arrogance no one stayed close enough to her to understand her intelligence and wits.
Seeing that Eric was calm, and carefree about this, she looked at him with a wondering look as she said,
Takeshiba Aika:" Since you are so calm about it, then you definitely have a plan to deal with that, don't you?"
Eric seemed to be expecting this answer from her, as he looked at her with an amused look, and said,
Eric:" Just like I thought you are a beauty with brain aren't you? It seems like I have stroke gold this time!
Go on tell me what do you think my plan is?"
Takeshiba Aika started pondering for a moment all the possible situations, and she could think of a few feasible opportunities, but none of them guaranteed success. She could only insinuate as she said,
Takeshiba Aika:" While I can't think of anything possible right now, I know that you are involving me in this.
But I don't think you intend to use me as a chip, I am not that valuable. My family doesn't value me that much, and even less my brother. So I can't think of many options right now."
Even though she didn't provide him with an exact answer, it still showed he was right, she was a beauty with brains.
He had been lucky that she hadn't thought of the possibility of him being the same as the guy blackmailing her, or for the fact that he had played well the role that day.
Now that she was on his side, she would be a great asset and help in building his foundation and his Empire. Of course, she needed a bit of training, but the base seemed pretty good and stable.
With that thought in mind, Eric looked at her with an appreciative look, and said with a slight smile,
Eric:" Even though you just made some insinuations, it still stands to prove what I said, you are a beauty with brains.
As for the plan, it's really easy actually, while I can't strike a deal with your family, I can make the outside world impede with your brother."
Takeshiba Aika seemed a bit confused hearing his words and she needed more information she wasn't able to understand what he meant by that,
Takeshiba Aika:" What do you mean!?"
Eric had expected such a thing, after all, what he was thinking to do wasn't something that people could believe easily or even think of it.
Truth to be told what he was planning to do was a crazy option that few people would think about, but he believed that it would work.
Thinking like that he said in a mysterious voice,
Eric:" Well you will have to wait and see, but I can promise you that it will be a great shock and surprise to you as well."
With that said he turned towards Daisuke and asked,
Eric:" What about the other assignments I left to you?"
Daisuke was just as curious as Takeshiba Aika about the matter they were talking about, but he knew that he could only wait for tomorrow to come, and learn about Eric's plan.
Then hearing his question he quickly recomposed himself, and said,
Daisuke:" The matter of the apartment, the girl's father, and the girl herself have been taken care of, and we just need further instructions on how to proceed Master.
The matter of that family restaurant has also been completed, and we are just waiting for the Master to come there and sign the agreement.
I have to add that the guy was just like Master said too stingy, but we managed to arrive at a good price for both sides, mostly due to our deterring force.
We also looked out for his daughter and the waiter that you told us. According to our investigations, it turns out that they have been having a relationship for a few years now.
And it seems like they are made for each other, as they have almost the same personality. The only difference is that he uses her to do his dirty work.
He also has a second life as he already has a fiancé and a kid, to which the girl is totally unaware. Judging by her character, if she knew they would be dead.
As for the last matter, we have already found a target for Master, and are currently gathering information over the gang, and the deal at hand.
According to your instructions, we are still selecting small gangs, with not much strength and power."
When he finally finished saying all this, Daisuke took a few deep breaths as he recomposed himself. He had said all this without stop, but he was satisfied with his own work.
All this time Eric had been listening to him carefully, and with a lot of attention. All these were really important to him, for his revenge, but also for his future plans.
He had to make sure that everything went according to his plans. And take his revenge as he should, by slowly torturing and destroying his targets.
He was really pleased with Daisuke's work, and he felt that it was a loss for him to kill this guy at the end because he made a really good henchman.
But even then he had no intention of breaking his oath, and promise with Akira as her importance far surpassed Daisuke's in his life and ambition.
Right now though, his eyes were looking towards someone else, he was looking at Takeshiba Aika, and try to understand how she would perceive all this.
She seemed really calm, and collected, thinking and processing what she had just heard, but she didn't seem to show any particular expression on her face.
This made Eric evaluate her even higher, and also the expectations he had on her started rising too. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that she would be able to reach all his expectations.
Returning to reality though, he took his eyes off her, as he said to Daisuke,
Eric:" Really well-done job Daise, keep at it. Now I will give you another one, but be careful, this one is really important, and I don't want any excuses if you fail it!"
Daisuke felt a shiver pass down his spine, but he knew that he had no other way around it, as he kneeled on the ground and said,
Daisuke:" Tell me, Master, what should I do?"
Eric looked at him with a serious look, as he said in a solemn voice,
Eric:" While this one is more important, is kind of easier than all of them. From tomorrow you need to find, capable kids of the ages 15 and above, that have a good attitude, and are loyal.
You should find at least, 40 of them in the next week, I don't care if they have a family or not, as long as they behave like they should, and are loyal."
Daisuke was a bit startled by the request, but he immediately acknowledged it and left the office room. Leaving behind Takeshiba Aika and Eric.
Takeshiba Aika was clearly curious about Eric's plans, but as long as he didn't tell her anything, she had no plan to ask…
