A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 24

Everyone outside had already arrived, the Lyra family had also arrived, and Etha and the 5 thugs had also arrived.

When Eric and Lyra were done walking out of the Salon, Lyra held Eric's hand very tightly and they walked out.

When I got outside I was surprised Eric and Lyra saw that everyone was outside the salon.

"Dad, mom, what the hell is this?" Lyra asked in a slightly embarrassed tone.

Without further ado Lyra's father immediately pulled Lyra's hand. It made Lyra surprised, and very uncomfortable.

"Hurry home, and who's the man in front of this, whether he's your girlfriend, what a scene you're so humiliating to Jones's extended family" Lyra's father said. A sharp look full of threats.

"He's just my friend's father" Lyra said in a slightly sad tone.

While Eric can only blush embarrassed to see the incident. Because it knew that Lyra was defending herself.

"Hey young man, what kind of treasure do you have that dares to approach my daughter, and which family are you from?" ask Lyra's upset father.

"I-i'm... I don't have any uncle, I was wrong, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to be friends with Lyra" Erick said nervously.

Hearing that Lyra's father immediately landed a slap hard on Eric's face. A loud and painful voice. Accepted by Erick just like that.

Everyone who was there also witnessed the scene but no one dared to interfere, Bella herself was still speechless gawking at the sight of Eric who was so greatly changed, the originally geeky and shabbily dressed man was now the most handsome man he had ever met.

Lyra is pulled by her father into the car, while Lynda also wants to teach Eric a lesson before he gets in the car.

Lynda approached Erick, she threw out her right hand and placed it on Erick's right cheek. A giant slap landed just like that. Feel this because you're swallowing hurt my sister's feelings" Linda said. With a pair of sharp and firm eyes.

Perhaps it was the most embarrassing day for Eric in his life, after the Lyra family left the scene, Etha came and unceremoniously ran quickly towards Eric's chest.

But Eric soon realized it, then casually Eric countered with one deadly kick.

Erick used his leg to point at Etha's body. A merciless attack.

Etha bounces and falls, the scene instantly becomes a laughing stock for all who witness the incident there, this makes Etha very angry and want to tear Eric apart.

Then Etha immediately stood up and swung her hand to the natural Eric but Eric casually brushed it off so that made Etha fall down in front of Eric.

And again Etha was laughed at by everyone, with an angry and red face, Etha immediately called 5 thugs to beat up Eric.

The five thugs immediately ran forward to hit Eric, but with the speed Eric was able to dodge, immediately broke one thug's hand, so that made the other 4 thugs a bit hesitant forward.

After that Bella really did not expect that Eric was that strong, because previously all she knew was Eric who was cupid and did not want to defend himself.Bella only realized that it was Eric, Eric, while everyone present there did not know that Eric who stood as a handsome man.

Then Eric ran quickly out of the crowd because he did not want to increase the problem. Etha was very upset and embarrassed by the incident.

After running long enough finally Eric until his banishment. Then lie down and rest until nightfall.

As for Lyra who was very sad about the incident that happened this afternoon, Lyra did not want to go out and lock her room and knew she wanted to talk to anyone. An old suit later Lyra decides to call Eric that night, while sleeping Eric is awakened by his ringing phone, and it's a call from Lyra.

"Miss Lyra, what's the matter tonight calling me?" ask Erick. The man looked curious.

"You know I was so worried about you, and how you are now, does anyone dare touch or hurt you?" reply Lyra. The girl looked very worried.

Hearing that Eric was very excited because there was someone who showed his safety.

"Hais, calm down Miss Lyra I'm fine." Erick casually gave a reply. The man was lying on a red bed.

The two of them chatted through the phone line all night, and kept venting and discussing things that were not important, until without them realizing that the night had passed.

Right, they call until morning.

"Miss Lyra, look at the clock, isn't it morning?" erick spoke out firmly. He wanted to tell Lyra. They may have been together for a long time.

Then after looking at the wall clock inside his room. Lyra was shocked because it was already light.

"Huh? Yes, it was already morning, but the feeling of us calling just an hour, haha," he said with a crisp laugh. As if feeling stupid.

That's how people who are struck by romance, chatting 1 day feels chatting 1 hour.

After a long chat, Lyra and Eric ended the call.

After hanging up his phone Eric was about to leave for the bathroom, but suddenly Eric was completely taken aback after seeing the notification that had just come from his phone.

"What, am I dreaming?" erick said he was monologuing. Touching his face a few times.
