Chapter 47 - 47: Takeshiba Aika
There was nothing he could do at the moment since he didn't want to become big news at the moment.
With that thought in mind, he left the auditorium and started to think about what he should do now. Since he decided to bunk class, then he had a lot of time.
The best thing to do at the moment was going to the bank and break the check, also open a bank account since he was going to need that.
Like that, Eric went towards the closest bank. Arriving there though he was greeted by a big commotion at the door.
Who would have thought, the reason for that big commotion was Takeshiba Aika, the little miss of the Takeshiba family.
These guys really treated everything as if it was their property or their father's property. With each passing moment, he was getting more and more decided to teach them all a lesson.
First things first though, he had to learn what the big ruckus was about, since there were two guys on the ground, and her guards were kicking them.
Learning the reason though, he didn't know if he should laugh or cry. These guys had just touched her unwillingly while getting out, and that was a big offense to her.
He couldn't stop thinking though if this was a big offense then what about when he would have her under him. He couldn't wait to see her reaction.
Well while he would like to help the two guys, they had touched his women, so they kind of deserved it, so he just decided to enjoy the show.
Too bad that it didn't continue for long though, since pretty soon, the bank's manager got out and convinced Takeshiba Aika to calm down and enter inside.
Eric was a bit let down by this, but anyway, his reason for coming here was different so he just entered the bank calmly, and went for the counter.
The lady at the counter looked at him as usual, with a fake smile and finesse. Which Eric didn't care in the least to be fair.
He just handed her the check, and said,
Eric:" Hello I would like to cash this check, and at the same time open an account with half of that money, while the rest will be in cash."
Taking the piece of paper the lady thought that it would be one of those donation checks or something that wouldn't be worth her time, but anyway she had to go on with it.
But then seeing the sum written she couldn't believe it for a moment, this was a 100.000$ check. To this branch, he would be a fairly big client.
And the guy's who could take out this much money were clearly not normal or regular people. This kid's background must be something special.
She was awakened from her reverie, by Eric's cough though, and immediately said,
Lady:" Young Master, this amount can be authorized only by our bank manager, but he is a bit busy at the moment.
Please wait for a moment as I notify him, you can sit in our client area in the meantime, and we will bring you something to drink."
Eric kind of expected this treatment, it wasn't the first time he had a deal with the banks. In here money was the ruler, as long as you had significant money, even the treatment was different.
With a calm and carefree face, Eric said,
Eric:" Ok, I will do just that. If possible I would like to do this as fast as possible, since I have other things to take care of."
The lady receptionist this time had a genuinely warm smile while saying,
Lady:" Of course, of course, Young Master, we will try to help you as soon as possible."
The client area was really close to the manager's office, and since this was the case Eric thought of doing some snooping since he was here anyway.
Sitting close to the office, he spread his spirit sense to the limit and was finally able to hear the conversation inside the office.
Takeshiba Aika seemed to be really angry for some reason, while the bank manager was in a panic and anxious.
It was at this time that he heard Takeshiba Aika say,
Takeshiba Aika:" How dares your bank to reject my cards, and humiliate me in front of other people. I want you to open all my cards immediately."
The bank manager didn't want to get sacked from his job and was afraid of this cold, heartless star, so he said with a low voice,
Bank manager:" Miss Takeshiba, please try to understand your cards have surpassed the limit, and this is something I can't do.
You have to pay the debts if you want your cards to be opened again, there is nothing I can do about it."
Takeshiba Aika seemed to get more furious by the second, but it seemed like this guy would be useless to talk to, she had to talk to her father or brothers.
But they would either not care about it, or just reproach at her with anger for being such a spendthrift. Her allowance was more than 50.000$ per month, and yet she ended like this.
At this moment, after checking that the check was real, the receptionist lady that took Eric's check knocked on the office's door.
She knew that it was going to be a nuisance with Takeshiba Aika being in there, but their bank couldn't lose this client. Especially since they didn't know his background.
The bank manager seemed a bit frightened by Takeshiba Aika's presence but he had to answer, it could be an emergency.
Entering inside, the receptionist, went close to him and explained the situation, while showing him the check, the bank manager was clearly elated.
Firstly he had to get rid of this devil first. And talk about the devil and he will appear. Takeshiba Aika just like an elementary school kid said in an angry voice,
Takeshiba Aika:" What are you whispering about there? Are you trying to badmouth me?"
The bank manager was already cursing at her inside him, so hearing that he just blurted out,
Bank manager:" No, not at all, Miss Takeshiba you are our esteemed client, we can never do that. It's just that there a client who is cashing a big check, and they need my presence."
Hearing his words, Takeshiba Aika's curiosity was piqued, and asked,
Takeshiba Aika:" Oh!? How much!?"
The bank manager didn't want to give details but since he opened his mouth already, there was nothing he could do,
Bank manager:" 100.000$ Miss Takeshiba, he also wants 50.000$ in cash, so the staff can't proceed without my presence."
At first Takeshiba Aika felt that this was just a pathetic sum, but hearing the part about the cash money, her interest got even more piqued.
She looked beyond the window tent, and saw Eric seating there calmly and drinking a coffee while waiting for his money.
She could only see the back of him, but then a crazy thought passed through her mind. She had found a scapegoat.
If she played her cards right, this guy would be her ATM for some time. It wasn't the first time she did something like this anyway.
Thinking like this she said with a cold voice,
Takeshiba Aika:" You can go on, in the meantime, I will go and have a talk with my friend."
With that said, she got out of the office and came directly for Eric's table, and sat in front of him. Now that she had a better look at him, she was stunned for a moment.
This guy was so handsome, especially with foreign characteristics and yellow hair. How come this was the first she had seen or heard of him.
On the other hand, Eric had known from the start that she was coming for him. He didn't expect luck to strike him like this today, but this just made things easier for him.
He was a bit flattered inside seeing her lost look on him when she sat, but that didn't make him lose concentration, so he just said calmly,
Eric:" What a pleasure to have the Young Princess of the Takeshiba family seat in front of me. Tell me how can I help you Miss Takeshiba?"
Takeshiba Aika was a bit startled by his words, and flatter. Normally people wouldn't dare to speak to her, but this guy seemed so calm about it.
Looking at his calm and carefree expression Takeshiba Aika didn't know what to think. Who was this guy? Why had she never seen him before?
But she was once again awakened by her reverie when Eric coughed and said again,
Eric:" Ahem. Is there something I can help you with Miss Takeshiba?"
Awakening again startled, Takeshiba Aika didn't know what to say, she had lost the upper hand of the conversation.
She wanted to play with him and keep him around her finger, and yet he was the one playing with her. But she was in a big need of money right now.
The previous week while she was driving, she had bumped someone and sent him to the hospital. It was the first time it happened, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
But the person who she had bumped, told her that if she was able to pay him 20.000$ then he was not going to raise a case against her.
He would totally forget that this thing happened. Otherwise, this might become a serious case. And something like this would totally destroy her figure.
Not to mention the situation that would be created at home. She was already having a bad image for being a spendthrift.
Such a case was the last thing she needed in her life. So she needed money urgently, today was the last day of the time he gave her.
Eric was looking her right through her eyes, like wanting to discover her darkness. She didn't know what to do or say at this point.
Seeing that she had no intention of talking Eric said in a carefree voice,
Eric:" Well let me rephrase my question Miss Takeshiba! How much, and what for???
