The Legacy System - Chapter 661 661: Cao Family’s Subordination
t seemed to be a case of having himself and his dreams against his closest people!
People said that even a tiger wouldn’t eat his own cub or try anything that might harm them. Unfortunately, a human was a much more ferocious and dangerous beast than a tiger.
Right at that moment Patriarch Cao was leaning more towards his own interests than the people outside, even though they were his family.
This was finally his chance and his shot to do something that even his Ancestors hadn’t believed it would be possible, it was his moment of shine, something that would never come twice.
Still, despite this, he wasn’t someone who would give up that easily. There was no way he was going to fall prey to the threats and attempts of the expert behind him.
With these thoughts in mind, he immediately arrived at a decision as he said,
“Fine you win bastard, don’t hurt my family and my people! I am ready to do whatever you tell me to do!
The Cao Family is yours to command from now on!”
The moment he said so though, he immediately turned around with his hand forming a fierce and bloody-looking claw that seemed to have the intention of taking the life of the expert behind him.
He didn’t care who it was, he only knew that this guy couldn’t run away alive. He only had this one shot, so he made sure to put everything he could into this attack.
“Hmph~! Overestimating yourself!”
Unfortunately, before he could even feel that he had won even for a brief second, he heard a cold and harrumphing sound from the person behind him.
That voice and those words were just like a fountain of water falling over a small spark of fire even before the fire had started properly.
Still, the worst had yet to come, as the next moment Patriarch Cao was introduced for the first time in quite some time with the feeling of fear and powerlessness.
He felt just like a lonely ant trying to overcome a tall mountain in front of him, as his attack didn’t land on anything and it didn’t even cause any ripples.
Even if he hadn’t been able to land an attack on his target, his attack should have still created quite a disturbance in the surroundings.
Yet there wasn’t anything. Just like a droplet of water falling into a deep and scary ocean, unable to create any worth mentioning ripples.
As for the person behind him, he seemed to enjoy this whole situation. To him, it looked just like a beautiful but empty play.
It was always fun to watch and enjoy the last hopeless and fruitless attempts of a little animal trying to escape her bleak fate.
“Your excellency don’t you think that is beneath someone of your seniority and level to deal with little people like us!?
What would happen if the whole world knew that you are molesting and bullying people way beneath your level!?”
Despite the current situation, and his hopeless attempt, the old fox Patriarch Cao still managed to collect his thoughts and think of a way out.
Seeing that it was impossible for him to even be able to put a resistance against the aggressor he decided to play the weak and low person card.
If someone heard Patriarch Cao say those words at the moment, they would think that he was most probably some kind of scammer acting as the real one.
It should be impossible for the real and original Patriarch Cao to say such words. It should be the lowest point for himself and his family the moment that he spouted such nonsense from his mouth.
Unfortunately, even though he had taken that tough and heavy step of lowering himself to touch on the opponent’s honor, he was bound to fail and lose.
“Heheheheh~! Do you really think that I can’t see through your little tricks!? Little Cao, you are still a greenhorn in front of me!
Even if that were the case, who would even hear of what is currently going on in here!? I only need to make sure to tie any loose ends, so no word comes out.
In fact, if that were to happen you would still be the one to suffer the most, as you would have to face my wrath for letting this out!
As for the matter of bullying you and your family, while I am superior, I indeed am!
I am bullying and stepping on you!
But what can you do about it!? I am much stronger than you, and I have your lives in my hands, you have no escape!
You are doomed to become my slaves!
The question is whether you want this to happen smoothly and without pain, or suffer hell and still end as my slave, choice is yours!”
“Youuuu~!”
Patriarch Cao was really close to vomiting blood due to anger at this point because he understood this situation perfectly.
Most probably this was what people called karma, from the moment he was born into the Cao Family up to now, it had been him who would always spout these words with a face of justice and confidence.
Yet for the first time that he was hearing these words being said to him, not only his own fate but the fate of his whole family was being decided.
It was one of those moments where he would give everything he had just to suddenly wake up and realize it was a dream.
He didn’t care whether he would wake up before or after he had gotten rid of Ling Family, all he wanted was for this to be a bad dream.
Unfortunately no matter how much he wished about it was totally impossible. His fate and the whole Cao Family’s fate seemed to have been decided at that moment.
“I give up, this time for real, the Cao Family is yours to command senior!”
Unable to find any escape from the current situation, especially since he didn’t have enough strength, Patriarch Cao could only lower his head and accept his new fate.
Furthermore, even if the person who was thinking of making himself and the Cao Family his slaves used them to do errands for him, he still wouldn’t be able to fully control them.
It was impossible for someone to possess something similar to a slave seal! Well perhaps these new sprouts could have something like that, but they would never be able to enslave a Realm 6 powerhouse like him.
At least that was what Patriarch Cao thought, and that was also the reason why he dared to take that gamble.
As long as his Cao Family was alive, as long as his family members were alive, and as long as he himself was alive, there was still hope for him and the Cao Family.
With these thoughts in mind, he finally decided to make a half-sincere promise, one that he would never think that it would change the fate and history of his Cao Family for as long as they lived.
On the other hand, the great senior, the great powerhouse that seemed to be running this whole show only demonstrated a shining smile, as he said….
