Chapter 66: Fight & Fright

When all of them were stunned at what happened in front of them, after all, it was a teenager against an ex-soldier, they heard Eric's cool voice saying,

Eric:" Why the hell are you gawking there for? If you don't come and at least fight me, your missy is going to be really disappointed with you."

Hearing that ridicule from Eric all the 7 of them were enraged, and not caring about their face anymore, they all jumped towards him at the same time.

Four of them blocked his directions with two kick and punches towards his chest, one of them slid down aiming at his legs, and the remaining two jumped in the air to block any escape route.

Their positions, targets, and attacks seemed to be really synchronized, their team-work was really good, and probably they had been in the same team for some time.

But Eric wasn't bothered by that at all, while it seemed like it was impossible for him to escape that attack, he wasn't bothered in the least.

What he was paying attention to right now, was Takeshiba Aika and her heartbeat. He thought that if she felt bad he might give her an extra chance.

Unfortunately, she didn't seem to be feeling bad, quite on the contrary she seemed to feel excited seeing him trapped like that, she was taking satisfaction at his situation.

It seemed that it was useless to have a ray of hope for her to change, she was raised in the midst of the jackals, so of course, she would have the character of one, despite her appearance.

Without losing any extra second, Eric jumped down, placing his hand on the floor, while his legs were at knee height, and made a revolution at that height.

With his revolution he hit all the four people coming towards him in their legs, as they fell towards him, as he disconnected from the ground when the guy sliding on the ground passed under him.

At that moment, the four people that were already falling towards him, and his weight, fell over the guy under him, while the two guys on the air couldn't retreat their attack, and hit their teammates.

At that moment 8 people were like a pile of rocks over each other, but the guards' team had lost 3 members, two guys that were knocked by their friends and the guy on the ground.

Due to receiving the weight of all 7 other people, he was out of breath and knocked out as a result. The remaining 4 were in a difficult position.

The two guys above were okay, but the 2 in the middle, suffered a part of their teammates' attacks, as, for Eric, he was facing them with a devilish grin.

Without delay, he gave one of them a powerful punch in the face, and due to inertia, that guy's head clashed with his friend's jaw, breaking a few of his teeth.

The head and jaw clash left the first guard knocked out, while the third was screaming, for the two above him to get off.

It was only after hearing their teammate's miserable cry that they could see the situation below them, and see that the ones suffering were their teammates and not Eric.

Hoping to help and save their friends, they jumped off the pile of bodies on the ground, only to see their friends sent flying in different directions, while Eric jumped on his feet.

None of their friends seemed to be able to move anymore, they were the only ones left, and this stunned them once again.

Just what kind of iron plate had their little miss bumped into? Who was this dark star in front of them?

On the other hand, Eric started to fix his clothes, as he approached them slowly. But they were even more stunned, seeing that their body seemed unable to move.

It was not possible! They had been able to roam fearlessly through the battlefield, and now they were frightened by this greenhorn?

Truly unbelievable!

Seeing their state Eric felt that it was useless to deal with them, but still, he had to do it for his points. So with one quick backhand attack, they were both knocked out on the ground.

Now the only people left were Eric and Takeshiba Aika, who was looking at him trembling and frightened as if she was looking at a monster.

After knocking out the last two guards, Eric started walking slowly towards the frightened and trembling Takeshiba Aika.

Every step he took, he could feel her heart thumping faster, and harder. He kind of enjoyed feeling that, putting this little spoiled brat under pressure and fear.

Tina was different, even though he was humiliating her and using her as a pet, she still had an unwavering heart.

While she seemed to be suffering on the outside, inside she was just accumulating anger and hatred, she still had hopes that one day he would be under her feet.

It was like throwing mud to a pillar, and the pillar just used it to become darker. Waiting that one day it would be able to place his aggressor on the ground.

Takeshiba Aika was different from her, the reason why she was behaving like this all this time was just that she was used to be like that.

Most probably this was the first time she ever felt being really under pressure, especially with her title as the Young Princess of the Takeshiba family.

Even when the siblings were blackmailing her, she wasn't under pressure, she knew that at worst her father would learn about that, and settle the matter for her.

But now, after seeing all this happen in front of her eyes, she was shocked and frightened. The expression Eric had on his face, made her tremble in fear.

He seemed like he was about to devour her, and not in a nice way either. She felt like she was at the edge of a cliff and he would give her the last push.

In that fit of fear she could only try to enter deeper in the car's backseat and ask with a shivering voice,

Takeshiba Aika:" Wha-what ar-are yo-you doi-doing? D-don-don't c-co-come cl-clo-closer!"

She seemed to be so close to crying but was holding her tears back because of her stubbornness, not to cry in front of him.

Seeing this Eric placed a devilish grin on his face, as he said,

Eric:" What am I doing? I am going to teach you a lesson in your parent's stead, spoiled brat."

Hearing those words Takeshiba Aika seemed to forget her fear for a moment, as she said angrily,

Takeshiba Aika:" Who are you calling a spoiled brat, who do you think you are?"

Eric:" Hahah… I am the one who has your life at hand right now, who could do whatever he wants with you, or your body.

Seems like a pretty big position no?" said Eric as he looked at her as if looking at a stupid kid.

Takeshiba Aika was completely stupefied, once again she was reminded of the current situation and the position she was in. She could only mutter,

Takeshiba Aika:" You…, you…"

But she wasn't able to say much because she was interrupted by Eric's angry voice,

Eric:" Me, what? You think you can come here and beat me up with your bodyguards, and I should just accept everything with a smile on my face?

Of course not, I need to take back some kind of compensation!"

These words frightened Takeshiba Aika even more, it looked like her fate was sealed, but then Eric seemed to be reminded of something and said,

Eric:" By the way, why did you do all this?"

At that moment, Takeshiba Aika was remembered for her hatred and the reason why she had come here in the first place.

And with newfound courage she said,

Takeshiba Aika:" Isn't because of you, you cheap bastard. Aren't you trying to blackmail me?"

Hearing those words Eric had a confused look on his face like he was watching her talk in her sleep. That was when he said with an even more confused voice,

Eric:" Huh? The fook you are talking about? How am I blackmailing you?"

Takeshiba Aika was taken aback by his confused expression and the look on his face as she got confused too. He seemed like he was really confused at that moment.

Was it really not him? That was why she said with a lower voice,

Takeshiba Aika:" Are you really not the one who is blackmailing me?"

Eric seemed to lose his patience at her words, and said with a louder angry voice,

Eric:" As I said, what the fook are you talking about?"

It seemed like he really wasn't the one who was blackmailing her, thinking for a moment, she started telling him, about the messages and the photos.

The previous guy who blackmailed her had disappeared from the city, and now she was being blackmailed once again for the accident.

Hearing her story Eric seemed to finally be able to make sense of her words, and thoughts as he said,

Eric:" So you thought that the new guy blackmailing you was me, and you came here to beat me up?"

Seeing that Eric had understood her thoughts, Takeshiba Aika just nodded her head, but right after she regretted that because Eric started cursing in rage,

Eric:" What kind of crap is this. How come you immediately think of beating someone up? Especially someone who helped you?

Didn't I tell you that day to let me handle it?"

He seemed really pissed at that moment, and she could only look at his curse and shout. In the end, though, Eric took a deep breath and said,

Eric:" Anyway, this has nothing to do with me. I just lost my mood to do anything further, just disappear from my sight."

When she heard his shout earlier, she thought that Eric still felt something for her and might help her out, but now hearing his calm and cold tone she lost all her hope.

She had no one who could help her right now, everything seemed bleak, not to mention she had to gather 100.000$ by the end of the week.

Thinking of all this, she swallowed her pride, and then looking towards the leaving back of Eric, she said…
