A Poor Youth's Journey to Success
Chapter 31

Eric really never imagined if there was no Bella figure in his life, somehow eric could survive in the High School. Therefore, eric really felt the affection of the brothers when meeting with bella.

After doing that brief farewell with Bella and her family, eric quickly leaves Bella's house.

After that, Eric quickly made a flight to Japan to catch up with Lyra. Eric couldn't lie to him, his heart was completely riveted by Lyra's name.

-----

Two days later, Eric arrived in Japan in Yokohama. Upon Eric's arrival in the city of Yokohama, Eric first plans to find the boarding house where Eric lives. After looking for boarding all day but in the city of Yokohama there is no boarding house, which there is only an apartment.

While Eric was walking in a small alley next to a large building he accidentally saw three men surrounding one woman and kept asking for help.

Seeing that, eric slightly grimaced, but in the end he decided to approach them.

Eric could see a woman being bullied and armed by some men

"What are you going to do to that woman?" greet eric.

They all looked back to find the source of the sound. They found an eric figure standing there.

Suddenly, the woman with the gun quickly approached Eric while hiding behind him.

He said while holding eric's hand. " All of you don't fuck around. My boyfriend is here." said the woman.

Hearing the woman's statement Eric was surprised and immediately avoided the woman up close.

Eric hurriedly waved his hand as he said to the few people who surrounded this woman earlier." Don't believe it, he's lying. I don't know him at all." Eric said as he moved away from the woman.

After saying that, eric was about to turn away, but the woman held his hand while saying sadly." Sir, please help me to be free of these people. They're gonna hurt me, I really don't know who they are. But obviously, they're gonna take me away."

Hearing that, eric felt a little sympathetic. In the end, eric sighed then decided to help this woman.

"What's your problem with them? ask eric. The woman shook her head while still holding eric's hand. " I don't know who they are, I've never had a problem with anyone."

Eric nodded lightly hearing that.

"Beyond you, don't stop us from bringing the woman in. "said a man who wanted to torture the woman behind Eric.

"What is your problem with this woman?" eric asked curiously.

Quickly, one of them took a gun to the woman. "We are from a London family. We were told to take the boy by the London family to make him a ransom. The boy's parents have a debt to the London family, and his family has not been able to pay off that debt until now."

Hearing that, eric turned to look at the woman's response. "Is what they say true? "

The woman quickly nodded." It's true that my family owed a long time to the London family." The woman suddenly seemed to be crying in fear." I beg you for help, please save me this time. I don't know what my fate would be if they took me away. They're definitely gonna do something to me. Please save me from them."

"Fuck, let him go for us. If not, we'll take you and kill you!" they said angrily while staring at eric.

Eric slightly grimaced hearing that, then eric retorted coldly." What if I refuse? Can you do as you say?"

"Dumb, dare you act so arrogantly in front of us. Let's get the kid!" after saying that, some of them came to Eric with wood.

Eric smiled wryly at their arrival, quickly eric retaliating their attack. With the little skill he learned, eric would definitely be by defeating them.

These hoodlums don't look strong in eric's eyes. They all looked thin and had no combat effectiveness.

When eric retaliates for their attacks, he quickly defeats them with just a few strikes. All of them had been subverted by eric so easily.

The woman who saw Eric who could defeat some people by himself made her feel shocked to death.

Eric just smiled as he replied to the woman." I'm fine, no one's hurt."

The woman lowered her body while saying to eric." Thank you so much, thank you for saving me."

Eric waved his hand." No need to thank you, it's just a coincidence!" reply eric.

The woman continued to bow respectfully. " We don't know each other yet, introduce my name is Haruka Kobayashi, I come from the Kobayashi family!"

Eric heard it also extended his hand shaking with haruka." Good name, introduce my name Eric brown." said eric with a smile.

Thank you again, Mr. Eric Brown. "Haruka sighed and continued." How can I redeem your kindness, eric sir?"

Eric waved his hand and said indifferently." Not necessary. You don't have to do that."

Haruka and Eric rested sitting there while getting to know each other. They chatted leisurely until nightfall was coming.

"So your goal came to Japan looking for someone huh?" ask Haruka.

Eric smiled at me." Right, I'm looking for someone,"

Haruka hurriedly stood up while saying." You said you just arrived in Japan, right? How about this, let's come with me home and eat together at my house. Let's just say this is how I redeem your kindness."

When Haruka offers this, Eric feels there is no harm in accepting Haruka's offer. Quickly, eric nodded lightly." Okay fine! Doesn't matter!

the two of them then walked together towards Haruka's room.

Haruka is a beautiful girl who has a beautiful body like a model. She has long white legs visible because she wears a short skirt. However, even though Haruka is very beautiful, eric has absolutely no interest in her. Eric just assumed Haruka would be a friend later. The first person she knew in Japan was Haruka. They met unintentionally.

Eric accepted Haruka's invitation because he also just arrived in Japan and does not know the condition here. So Eric for now can only rely on the figure of Haruka to help him get to know more about Japan,

The two of them walked together while continuing to chat in the street. Haruka is so friendly that eric also easily invites haruka to talk.

Before long walking together, eric finally arrived at haruka's house.

Haruka quickly pulled eric's hand with her into the house.

"Let's come with me in!" take haruka.

Eric just kept quiet and nodded lightly.

Haruka's house looks like a large and luxurious villa. Eric really didn't expect Haruka's house to be like this.

Haruka quickly pulls Eric into the house. And at that very instant, the Haruka family happened to be gathering in the guest room.

Suddenly his father calls Haruka because he is seen carrying a man into the house.

"Haruka, why did you bring a man into our house?" ask her father to stop Haruka from entering.

Haruka smilingly looked at Eric and looked at his father back while saying." Daddy's! He just saved me from the London family's men. They almost took me away, but she was lucky she was there."

Her father who heard Haruka say it just nodded lightly." Then, next time you're more careful when you're out of the house." Haruka's father looked at eric while saying." Thank you for saving my daughter."

Eric who heard Haruka's father thanking her made Eric smile and immediately replied." Both uncle, it was just a coincidence I met haruka."

Haruka's father just nodded lightly in response to eric." Haruka, you can bring eric in!"

Haruka immediately pulled eric in to hear her father say that." Thanks dad.. Let's go in eric."
