Chapter 82- Naoko’s situation

Chapter 82- Naoko’s situation

My relationship with Naoko's mother has always been good. I have visited his house on several occasions and even spent some nights here as well. And all those times, Naoko's mother, Miyuri has always been kind and very gentle to me.

She is the type of woman who can help a stranger even though she herself is going through a crisis. Even after I stopped coming over after I had that fight with Naoko, whenever Miyuri-san saw me in the market she talked to me politely.

Such a warm and kind person...was tainted by this asshole who also was her husband.

Naoko's family situation was complicated, that much I knew. However, I never realized that the roots of this problem arose from this single man, who was now glaring at me with tears in his eyes.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

"Y-You punk!!" Raising the bottle of what seemed like alcohol, he charged at me.

"No!" Miyuri, despite being half-unconscious, shouted at the top of her lungs and tried to stop the man from advancing toward me. However, she failed to move her frail body and the man neared me in no time.

I perceived his movements easily without even using my strengthening technique before tilting my body and evading that attack. Following the evasion, I strengthened my left arm, and after holding my left fist with my right hand, I delivered a solid elbow spear on the man's back.

"Ghhh!! You asshole! Stop right there and take this!" A foolish and egoistic drunkard was frustrated to be bashed by a young boy.

Nice. I like the frustration he had. I craved more, as such, I dodged his next assault and with my palm outstretched, I delivered a hot and burning slap on his face, nice and tight.

*SLAP*

"Ahhhh!!" The man staggered on his feet by the sensation. His left cheek has turned flaming red...but not like I was done here.

Stepping forward, I raised my hand and inflicted another slap—faster than he could dodge.

*Slap*

"Ahhh....why you!"

I see. Another one.

*Slap*

"Stop! Just-"

*Slap*

"Please don't..no-"

*Slap*

"Uuu....please...don-"

Her face was flushed with those eyes turning hazy.

Miyuri was a woman in her early forties with shoulder-length black hair and hazelnut shade eyes. Her face was small and had two long legs as an attractive feature of her body. Although she didn't have a buxom figure, she had more of a mature and refined structure.

I was fascinated by her for a moment before reminding myself, that this wasn't the time to think about such stuff.

"Miyuri-san, can you tell me what happened? And where is Naoko?"

Although I hated Naoko, I knew he wasn't the kind of timid person who would allow anyone to abuse his mother; including his father...which meant,

"Naoko isn't at home." I frowned at that as Miyuri sat on the couch with a downcast look as she narrated her story,

"My husband's habit of gambling had us in debt of ten million...and the person from whom we took a loan to pay off all the debt has formed a contract with Naoko. "

"With Naoko? Isn't he a minor?" I remember Naoko's birthday was in January...as such, it was still seven months before he became an adult.

For someone who was still a minor to sign a loan contract...

"The organization we took a loan from...isn't an official firm or bank...they...they are an underworld organization..."

The horrified expression on her face explicitly told how petrified she was. The people they took loans from must be those shady people whom everyone wants to stay away from.

I contemplated what I should do.

On one side, I could just leave this place after informing the police about the drunkard. In that way, the situation with Miyuri might improve...or maybe not.

'Ah, forget it. To whom I am trying to argue with?'

Turning toward Miyuri I asked, "Can you give me the address where Naoko went?"

Miyuri looked surprised as she asked instinctively, "Why are you trying to help him, Minoru...didn't you fight with Nao?"

Hearing her question, I also wondered, 'Why am I trying to help that asshole, who turned my school life into hell?'

But then again, if there was no Naoko at the school, who would I scorn?

"Don't worry about that. And trust me, Miyuri, I will save your son from this mess."
