THE ZILLIONAIRE HEIR

Chapter 2: The Death

Eren signed the papers and returned the documents to Malcolm.

 “Let's get the hell out of here Audrey, our work here is done.,” Malcolm said as he held Audrey and they both walked out.

“Eren has tried, we should give him a gift, don't you think, Audrey?” Malcolm asked Audrey as they descended the slope in their Macbeth car.

“Of course, we should give him a present, what present will suit Eren more, let me think, oh ah death, we can kill him.

To be honest, death will be best, Eren is a threat as long as he's alive, let's kill him now that we have milked out his value”. Audrey said as she tapped her fingers on her jaw 

        

“Wow, you always know what I am thinking. Okay, let's kill him.”

 Chris alerted Hanks to take him out, don't make it too painful, he is still my brother, Malcolm told the driver as if he were talking about the weather and not someone's life.

 “Taken sir”....... Hanks, cold red confirmed, kills the hostage. He said to an accomplice on the phone.

  In the psychiatric hospital, Footsteps could be heard as a burly man dressed in a black suit walked briskly to Eren's room, in his hands was an injection containing cyanide, a deadly poison that kills in minutes. 

He slowly walked towards Eren who was currently grieving the loss of a dear friend, and slashed the needle at Eren's arm.

Eren struggled against Hanks in an attempt to safeguard his life. As he crawled on the floor, he managed to grab the iron table and smashed it on Hanks's head. 

“Ahhh!”  Hanks screams as he collapses on the floor, using that breather Eren runs out of the already opened door, as he runs, he can slowly feel his body weakening, his feet stiffening and his blood turning cold.

Eren's entire being screamed for him to stop, but as he saw the speck of light coming from the far end of the corridor, he felt a surging strength arise within him.

“I can't die here, l need to live, just five more steps, run, please run, Eren run” Eren urges himself as he sees the lights closer than ever. 

     

Finally, he runs out of the building, “No..... This can't be, how can this be” Eren exclaims in disbelief as he looks around the cliff he is on, and beneath the cliff is a raging sea.

 “What should l”..... Thump, thump. The sounds of gunshots cut Eren's imagination short as its force threw him unbalanced into the embrace of the sea.

Splash! Sounds of water echo as Eren's body falls headfirst in. As Eren hit the water, all he could feel was heart-wrenching pain that threatened to rip his whole body to pieces, coupled with the cyanide poison and the gunshots.

 Eren could feel death approaching as he slowly closed his eyes, just as he was about to take his last breath, a flash of light that tore through the Earth's atmosphere blasted right into his brain, forcing him into a coma. 

“Host detected, Host detected, system initializing 5? 15...... 79..... 99… 100. System bounded, detected hosts are facing a life and death situation, offering emergency help, instant rejuvenation

         

In that instant, the torn tissues and damaged body of Eren began to rapidly fix itself as a white liquid circulated Eren's body. His physical injuries also began fading rapidly, but Eren was too unconscious to notice all this.

Splash! The waves hit the shore as it brought Eren's body along with it Eren's body…. 

 Wow! What beautiful scenery, this must be heaven, right, Eren muttered as he stared at the pure white expanse that stretched to infinity.

“Welcome Master Eren" A voice interrupted thought. “What! Who are you and where is this?” Eren asked as he looked around the vast space that looked too virtual, it didn't look like heaven, it was just white, too white to be exact.

 “I am the Al of the SUPER BUYER SYSTEM of which you are the host,  You are currently in the system's space which is located in your consciousness.” 

    

“Wow, l have a system, doesn't that only happen in novels, how could i get one, especially one with such a high-sounding name?” Eren asked puzzled

     

“The system is only one of a kind and is given to whoever is deemed worthy of it, someone who has high mental fortitude and reasonableness, and you were chosen to be the host of the system.

 You did not lose your mind or collapse mentally despite the series of consecutive mental blows you suffered, and you showed reasonableness in choosing to give up wealth to save the lives of your friend's family 

 This made you a worthy host of the SUPER BUYER SYSTEM.”  The system's Al answered Eren's second question while ignoring Eren's first question about the system existing only in novels.

“Are those only the things the system checks out for while selecting its host and why are they necessary, also what are you addressed by, surely l can't keep calling your system's Al, what's the function and purpose of the system? 

What's happening to my body as l I am talking to you now? Who are the people who gave me the system, do you have a physical body, are there other system users like me?”

 Eren unleashed a barrage of questions on the system's Al, “These are the only things checked, the host needs to have strong mental fortitude because the system contains numerous secrets and information that would blow the brain of an ordinary man with low mental fortitude or render him brain-dead.

 The host is responsible for giving me a name, whether the name you decide is what I will bear. Your authority is not enough to know the creators of the system, when you reach the highest level possible, which is quite far, the information will be made known to you.

 I have a physical body, but you have to reach level 15 before you can see me. There are other system users but not in the world you currently reside, so there's no way you will run into someone with a system on planet Earth aside from you.” the system calmly replied to him.
