Chapter 118: Takeshiba Family Head

Later Eric was fed from Akira and Mina for dinner, amidst their innocent and clear laughter of him cracking his teeth too strongly to chew the food in his mouth.

It was truly an interesting and funny sight to watch, but not many people had the luck to witness it, as even Tina wasn't allowed to enter inside the bedroom.

That night he was also forced to sleep alone, in fear that during the night he might unwillingly turn his women into squishy past.

He had to found a way to get used to his strength as fast as possible, but he needed a good training ground and worthy opponents.

He was unable to procure those two things himself, and he couldn't stay like that for long. So he had to find a solution before long.

Recalling Kirigaya Kaito back was also impossible since he needed to get as strong as he could for the fight with his younger brother.

While Kirigaya Endo seemed to have lost his driving force to get stronger and probably wasn't much stronger than before he poisoned his brother, and still thought that Kirigaya Kaito was still poisoned.

Nonetheless, he was really strong, he could still remember that chilling feeling at the end of his back when he saw his attack earlier in the day.

If it weren't for his strong will, and knowing that Uncle Satoru and Old Five were right there, he probably wouldn't have been able to keep his composure, and might have used one of his 'Escape Talismans'.

Those were one of his biggest secret cards, together with the death laws, and he wouldn't use them in front of everyone, but still, his life was more important.

At the end of the day, Kirigaya Endo was a powerful expert in his own right, that could crush him with his little finger.

Even after this big power-up that he got now, he was afraid that he was still not worth even two full fingers fight from him.

Kirigaya Kaito gave him the same feeling, but his edge seemed to have been a bit rotten due to the fact that he was sidelined for a long time.

For that reason, he needed Kirigaya Kaito to recollect himself, and that lost the clean edge in killing and strength.

As for Shiro and Daisuke, they were out of the question due to the fact that they belonged to the Yakuza and were already in target attention from the other members of their organization.

Furthermore, they still had to continue dealing with the recruitment issue he had left them deal with, so he had to think of someone else.

Uncle Satoru and the Council were out of the question since his quickly increasing strength might make them be more aware and attentive of him, and think of him as a threat.

So they were out of the question too, but then he was reminded of the best opportunity, who would be able to better help him than his future father and clown-in-law.

With this occasion, he would also show him his strength and potential so he could seal his place in the Takeshiba family.

With these thoughts in mind, he immediately sent Takeshiba Aika a mental message with his situation and his requirements as he promised to pay the Takeshiba family handsomely.

In his message, he also included the fact that in case of further cooperation he was able to provide the Takeshiba's with something that even the Council of Five was satisfied with.

There was no way that the Takeshiba Family Head would be able to let these conditions and possibility run away from him, especially when he was really curious about Eric, and his background.

With that taken care of, Eric just started to meditate more on the lines from his cultivation manual, and what he still could remember from the experience during the enlightenment.

It was only around 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning that he was able to eventually fall asleep, and totally relax.

But since he had already leveled up so much he was able to easily rest and recover that small amount of stamina and HP he had lost during the recent days, as he only slept for 3 to 4 hours.

When he woke up, he was still on his bed, while the first thing he did was at his phone for a possible message from Takeshiba Aika and he wasn't disappointed.

Her father had clearly agreed to his request and was eagerly waiting for him at the family's closed training grounds at the mansion, with the experts of the family.

Of course, taking into consideration Eric's strange request that sly fox had also sent him a car to pick him up at his place.

Eric walked out weirdly out of the apartment and his building as he looked like a bad drunkard. The most tiring thing was that all the time he was only thinking of using the tiniest amount of strength possible.

Anyway, he was able to get down the building without causing much of a ruckus and grabbing much attention and made for the car.

He had said nothing to the guards' duo, who were clearly a bit surprised with the fact that a Takeshiba family car was waiting downstairs for him.

They were also surprised by the way that Eric was walking or his posture, but he didn't seem to be forced to go with them, he seemed more like he was constipated.

Not understanding what was going on they just decided to follow behind Eric and protect him from the distance.

The only problem was that when the car where Eric was on entered the Takeshiba family's premises, they were stopped and disallowed to proceed further.

No matter how much they insisted, or even tried to enter from some weak spot they weren't able to and were forced to enter inside.

In the meantime, the driver took Eric directly to the underground training grounds, as he was ordered to. To him Eric was some kind of a poor weirdo, especially looking at his quiet and weird behavior.

Eric didn't mind much what the driver thought of him, but as he was more focused on the control of his power, and not doing something that could cause a big problem and gossip.

He waited for the driver to open the door for him, and slowly got out of the car, but one could clearly see the car shaking a bit when he got out.

The Takeshiba Family's closed training grounds seemed like a big closed arena, with a radius of more than 100 meters.

There were a lot of dummies, or training equipment inside, as there were even some special sparring platforms placed inside it.

The place was completely isolated with soundproof materials, as not even sonic sounds would be heard outside.

While the equipment was clearly of his quality steel and other strong materials that wouldn't be easily broken or damaged.

It truly gave the feeling of an arena where one could train and fight to his heart's content. Eric couldn't wait to try it out, especially since he had been holding back all this time.

Entering the Takeshiba Family's closed training grounds, he was able to see a group of people waiting for him.

All of them looked like experts of different levels, as each and any one of them was reeking of blood and killing intent.

Each and every one of them was clearly ex-military personnel or an ex-mercenary that had pledged their loyalty to the Takeshiba Family.

At the hem of the group stood a middle-aged man with black hair, and olive color sly eyes. He still looked handsome with his manly characteristics and that sly strict-looking face.

While Eric was observing him, he was doing the same thing to Eric. None of them seemed to be taking an offense in this direction, as they continued to do this for a few moments.

It seemed like they were able to comprehend each other only with those few observing moments they had a general idea for the person in front of them.

Of course, none of them knew how exact or precise their estimations were, but they both liked to believe they were pretty good at it.

After those moments of weird silence, Eric seemed to be a bit relieved, as he screamed in what he believed to be a normal voice,

"I want to fight you!"

His voice was reverberating inside the closed training grounds, as what seemed normal to him was like 50 or 60 times more powerful than the shout of a normal person.

Each person of the group in front of him had a clearly discomforted face, as they didn't expect something like this as they had taken Takeshiba family's head's words like a joke earlier.

But now hearing Eric's voice, and also seeing his difficulties in walking earlier they knew that they weren't fake! Eric really couldn't control his strength.

The person Eric had selected to fight was a clearly powerful guy, he was a level 47 fighter according to Eric's clairvoyance sight, and he looked like one too.

His muscles were clearly big and powerful, as his head was almost totally cleanly shaved, beside a bit tail at the top of his head.

Hearing Eric's voice and his declaration that guy seemed to be a bit displeased to have been singled out, as he thought that Eric was taking him for a weak vermin or something.

But he still walked forward, even though anger was clearly written all over his face, as he looked threateningly at Eric and said,

"Kid you should have selected some other guy, I am not the weakest of the bunch, and you clearly don't look strong enough to take me up.

Eric looked at him calmly, as this time he was able to adjust his voice a bit as he said, in a less toned shout,

"I know, but the others won't be able to receive my punch unscathed!"

Hearing Eric's words the big guy was startled for a moment, but then he started laughing out loud as he also said in loud voice,

"Then come one brat let me take one of your punches!"
