Chapter 390 - 390: 1st Goal Accomplished
With Eric's speed, and orientation it was easy to reach his target, despite being in the outskirts of the city, and not actually in the city.
It was a small two-floor villa on the outskirts of Okinawa. It blended greatly with the surroundings, and looked like a small normal villa, with a little garden.
Inside there were 5 rooms, 2 on the first floor and 3 on the second, 2 big bathrooms, and one kitchen and saloon on the first floor.
It was quite a beautiful and special villa for new families, or for people that wanted to live outside the smog and the big city lights.
But clearly, Eric didn't have that intention for this place, as he was thinking of using this place as a small base of transport.
After the business earlier in the day, Eric had sent Hilda and Ice to find such a place, and buy it, as it was vital for the next part of his plan.
He was notified of this being the actual place, only when he was on the way through, not that it mattered.
The moment that Eric came in front of the door, he didn't even need to knock as Juna opened the door for him as if she had been expecting him there at the door.
Juna was the name of the ex-arrogant bi*tch, the daughter of the mother-daughter pair that he had taken from his previous place of work.
Opening the door, she was just about to throw herself in Eric's arms, but before she could even think of doing something like that, she was startled by the view in front of her.
After all, it wasn't only Eric at the door, but also 7 dirty and poorly fed kids by his side. She didn't know what to say for a moment, as she finally blurted,
"Ma-Master where did you kidnap these kids?"
Not only Eric, but even the kids their selves seemed to be extremely startled and surprised by her words. As a terrible thought crossed their heads, could it be that Eric was one of those traffickers?
That would make sense actually, as he had the strength to kill all those people and did so cold-bloodedly. And then he had lied to them to take them away.
Everything clicked in their heads, as they couldn't help but fear their current predicament. This wasn't the first and wouldn't be the last time it happened.
As they were thrown in those thoughts, they saw Tianlong Yun lightly knock on Juna's head while saying,
"Stop talking gibberish Juna, these are my new disciples!"
"Huh!? New disciples? Master since when did we start recruiting new disciples, and how come it isn't another beauty, but kids?"
The kids were clearly startled and surprised by what they were hearing, as they were only looking weirdly at Eric, and the beautiful big sister at the door.
Juna was already only 22 years old and coupled with the fact that she had started training, and leveling up her beauty had accentuated even more and she looked much younger.
Before she might not have had the standards, but now she was clearly in the same league as Takeshiba Aika, Hilda, or Ice.
Even her mother Meriko was the same, all the signs of middle age had started to disappear from her body, and image, as she looked only half of her age, with her deadly curves.
The truth was that neither of the women that Eric had, could say anything about his life, or his additions to the sorority.
Because one way or another none of those relationships had started in a romantic way. Until now, each and every one of those relationships was either forced or because they owed to him.
What they didn't have expected though, was most probably that in a short amount of time, they would change so much, as a totally wider and bigger world opened in front of them.
In this new world, they understood that they would proceed further for as long as they followed Eric, and from anger or hate, their feelings had turned into dependence, need, and excitement.
Furthermore, with the way he was going, they could tell that Eric was planning to form quite the crowd around him.
So despite saying that with a bit of a chiding tone, Juna didn't actually mean what she said. In fact, the moment that she opened her mouth she understood her mistake.
Eric understood that as well, as he pretended to not hear that as he said,
"You little devil, are you going to let us in, or will you just stay there all the time!"
"Ah!? Yes, yes, come in! Sorry for my impudence Master!"
At first, this Master thing had been a bit unsavory for her, but slowly not only did she get used to it, but she even started liking it, like a beautiful play.
Hilda, Meriko, and Ice were staying in their own rooms at the moment cultivating, but the moment that they sensed him in the house, they immediately got down.
Their expressions and reactions to the 7 kids were almost the same as that of Juna, and Eric had to explain them quite a bit before they understood.
When he finally felt that things had been clear enough, he turned towards Ice and said in a natural voice,
"Ice you will be in charge of their training! I want them to go the same training that you went through. Don't show mercy, or compassion to them, I will check their progress in a week.
I will also give you some instructions about their food, training, and the human body."
"Yes, Master!"
Ice was a bit surprised that she was the chosen one to deal with the kids, but she didn't say anything, and just acknowledged her duty without much emotion.
All the seven kids had quite the troubled, and complex looks on their faces, as from the four ladies around them, Ice looked like the coldest, and most insensitive among them.
Most probably they were even worried about their future. Still, it should be better than the life they were living off in the streets.
With that said Eric left the kids with the four ladies downstairs, as he picked one of the rooms on the first floor, and then went on with what he had to do.
It was time for him to finally set his plan in motion, which was the creation of the spatial channel between this house, and the entrance of the Nightless Stone City.
Just for safety precautions, he had set up the other side at the entrance of the tunnel of the Nightless Stone City.
So, even if someone managed to find about this place, they would still have to pay a price to enter.
There was nothing fully certain in this world, everything was continuously changing, and so were people.
While he couldn't fully block the 'loyal' people by his side to betray him, at least he could place a few more checks on the path.
He had already set up the first node of the spatial formation, now he was going to do the same for the second one, which would be placed precisely in this room.
This channel would cost him 150.000 SP points, which was clearly not some kind of simple amount, but at least it didn't require any extra fee to work.
As long as he used his Qi, or whoever he gave permission to use this spatial channel, then he would be able to use this spatial channel easily.
The amount of Qi required was dependent on the number of people, and materials that were being transported.
Since Eric had a few space rings he didn't need to care about equipment, as he could just stuff them inside the space ring, but the matter changed completely when it came to people.
It was impossible to find a spatial artifact capable of 'storing' people, so if Eric wanted to bring the people he rescued from Africa here, he would have to do so slowly and orderly.
Still, this was a great step ahead in his plans to start training his own elite force in the dark, and he couldn't help but get a bit excited.
Furthermore, this was without looking at the loot he had had today after the great commotion he caused. Things were certainly walking on the right path.
With those thoughts in mind, he quickly made the purchase from his Legacy System, and the formation appeared as a small rock inside his inventory.
Taking the rock outside, Eric quickly crushed it into pieces, as quickly symbols started appearing in a circular shape around him with a radius of 1 meter.
Even Eric had to accept that it was quite amazing to look at how the formation was set up that quickly around him, but the cost of it still pained in his heart.
With this taken care of, his job here in Okinawa was over, and it was time for him to slowly start acting for his next line of actions.
With those thoughts in his mind, Eric quickly took out a prepaid phone and sent a message to Master Ito, and one to Kuro, like this they could start the preparations as well.
He wanted to send a message to Takeshiba Aika as well, but unfortunately, she was being kept under strict surveillance, due to his possible appearance.
Still, no matter how much he thought about this situation, the biggest problem at the moment for him was still the matter of SP points.
Since he had already been once to Africa and seen the state there, it was time for another journey, and he decided on the place with the highest potential for SP points harvest, East…
