His fist hit one of the street thugs and he fell. What Brian did surprised them. One by one they started to attack but Brian had the upper hand, he kicked, threw punches, and even slammed the big bodies of the thugs and they fell in an instant.
Brian trains in self-defense and takes advantage when the men are off guard. But that only knocked them out, it didn't make them faint at all. There was no time left, Brian grabbed the girl's hand and ran from there and two thugs got up to chase him.
Brian took advantage of that little time. He realized that thugs like them wouldn't be easily defeated, that's why he just knocked them out and then took the girl to escape.
“That way. Chase them!” One of the thugs shouted in a loud voice.
Brian continued to run while pulling the girl's hand who kept looking behind her in fear. Brian then changed his running direction, turned, and continued to pull the girl. There was a small alley, Brian brought the girl closer to him. They caught their breath, but the girl's voice was still scared, so Brian had to cover her mouth while his eyes watched.
The alley was small, two bodies were pressed against the wall, and there was no distance between them, tightly pressed against each other.
“Shut up. They're coming," Brian whispered to the girl who was shifting uncomfortably.
Hearing the commanding tone of voice, the girl obeyed Brian who was still watching her surroundings.
“Damn! Where do they go? Come on, hurry up and find that girl again!” The thugs who were chasing them gathered near the alley and then scattered to search.
After a few moments, Brian checked his surroundings and took a deep breath.
"Congratulations," he breathed then his eyes moved down to where she was looking at his face.
Realizing his , Brian removed his hand from the girl's mouth and immediately left the alley. He glanced right and left to make sure there was no one. That street is often quiet whether morning, afternoon- or even night, it's always the same because there are a bunch of thugs hanging out there, that's why people are reluctant to go down that street, only stupid people walk there, like Brian earlier.
"Thank you, sir," said the girl. Brian turned her head and found him hunched over.
“Oh No problem," replied Brian.
“I thought you wouldn't save you Earlier I had given up, but it turns out that you still has a heart too," her said clearly sarcastically.
"I saved you, you're still sarcastic," replied Brian, looking away.
Brian walked to his left to get the items he had saved so he could come back and beat up the thugs to save the girl from danger. In the end, it was his body that acted.
Putting his backpack back on, Brian saw the girl following him. He frowned in confusion.
"Why are you following me?" he asked.
“I didn't have a goal, so I followed you. But you don't seem to have a goal either, sir?” The girl glanced at the suitcase with the box on it and the backpack and packages.
Brian doesn't care. He pulled up his suitcase and left there but the girl still followed him.
"Go. It's not safe here," he said gently.
"No. "Going far from you is more dangerous," her answered.
“You said I don't have a goal either. Would you mind if slept on the street?" Brian asked.
The girl was silent for a moment then looked back at him.
"Of course not," his smile widened artificially and Brian chuckled.
Brian looked at the girl, her clothes were dirty and worn, as was the bag that the girl had been holding. The long black hair tied in a ponytail was also dirty, who knows how many days the girl hadn't showered. Brian looked at her even more, the girl's face was beautiful even though it was the same as her clothes, she had a dimple on her right cheek, a pair of thin black eyebrows, and curly eyelashes. Brian was fixated on the girl's pair of light brown irises and her sharp nose. Brian's attention was now focused on her thin, pale lips curled into a smile.
Realizing what he was doing, Brian exhaled and turned back to pull his suitcase with difficulty and the girl was still following him.
“Sir, need help?” offered the girl.
"No need," Brian answered as he walked away but the girl continued to follow.
When they finally reached a fairly busy street, Brian turned around again. He thought the girl would be safe now secured in a crowded place.
"Go. Why are you following me?” Brian asked, a little irritated. “Here you are safe,” he said.
The girl answered Brian who frowned.
“I told you that I have no purpose, sir I'll just follow you," said the girl.
"Follow me?"
"Yes. Who knew you might need a friend.”
"No-" Brian answered firmly and returned to continue somewhere.
Brian's mind is still busy looking for his destination, where will he stop? Finding the house took quite a long time. Brian looked left and right, looking for something. Some kind of real estate or something that markets houses. However, he felt uncomfortable when he felt that the attention of people passing by was on him.
Brian finally glanced behind him where the girl was still following. the impression of people who think the girl is like a stalker, beggar, or something no better than that.
Once again Brian stopped in his tracks- and turned back to face the girl who also stopped and raised her face. Brian exhaled.
“Did you bring a change of clothes or something?” he asked.
However, the girl looked at Brian confused until the man sighed again and said to change his clothes or wash himself so he wouldn't be the center of many people's attention.
"You can come with me if you're better than you look," said Brian finally.
The girl was happy to hear that and asked where the toilet was to change into better clothes. Seeing the girl leave made Brian a little regretful for allowing her to follow him wherever he went now.
“I don't have a choice. Can I just run away?” Brian thought but he couldn't leave the girl because he had promised to let her come with him.
While waiting, Brian's attention was diverted in various directions, who knows what he was looking for. That place is the economic center of Neophi city. People will usually gather there to enjoy themselves by shopping, or just hanging out in cafes, restaurants, and bars. On either side of the main road, there are shops with various merchandise displayed in window cases ranging from clothes, goods, food, accessories, and much more.
People were busy with their business, some didn't care, and some were interested in Brian who was staying where he was with suitcases, boxes, and packages in hand. How could he not notice with his disheveled face that was slightly pale due to a cold?
“Sorry to keep you waiting, sir You kept your promise," said the girl who had just returned.
Brian turned his head and watched him for a moment then coughed softly.
"Good grief. You have to rest," the girl said as if she was worried but Brian brushed it off.
"Let's go," he said and pulled the buyer back.
The girl offered to carry one of the items but Brian refused and continued along the ledge but was stopped again when a strange sound caught his attention again. The girl grinned as Brian watched sharply, her voice sounded very loud.
“Sorry, I'm hungry,” he admitted sheepishly as he stroked the flat layer.
Hearing the word hungry, Brian suddenly became hungry too. He glanced at the clock, apparently, it was time for lunch. Brian just realized that he hadn't had breakfast and last night he only ate bread.
"Come on." Brian looked away after inviting the girl to follow him.
Entering a restaurant that was not too quiet, Brian sat at one of the tables. Very busy with things. The girl followed and sat in front of Brian.
Brian raised his hand to order but the waiter took so long to approach him that he raised his hand several times. Brian realized that the waiters were also scolding him for just his ordinary appearance, in contrast to the other visitors who looked luxurious, glamorous, or even branded.
A waiter approached them reluctantly and took down the order that Brian had mentioned. For a moment the waiter stopped taking notes just to insult Brian's appearance and his order which was considered expensive.
“You have that much money, sir?” whispered the girl when the servant had left.
Brian looked at him. "You don't need to worry and eat as soon as the order comes," he said.
It seemed that the girl doubted this. Brian didn't care and chose to look around the restaurant to assess and remember it. He recorded the name of the restaurant in his brain memory, he had a feeling he would return to this restaurant.
As soon as Brian turned his gaze back to the girl, it turned out that he was looking at the package that Brian had put on the table. What's wrong with that? Compared to Brian, the girl was more curious. What do you think it contains?

“By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet My name is Alessia Antheari, you can call me Alessia," said the girl as she reached out her hand to Brian.For a few moments, Brian just stared at the girl's outstretched hand in front of him, hesitant to be with her because once they touched, it was like lifelong contact with Brian."Are you sure?" Instead of answering, Brian asked a question that confused the girl."What?"“Are you sure you want to shake hands with me?”"Why not? So what?"Brian didn't answer, looking at the girl's hands which turned out to have long and beautiful fingers, as if he took good care of them."That means, you have to be with me for the rest of your life," said Brian, directing his eyes at the girl."I don't care. You were the one who saved me, sir. So, okay.” Alessia raised her hand again to shake Brian.Seeing the girl's confidence, Brian raised his hand and shook it."Brian Dhariftan, you can call me Brian, no sir," he said.Alessia smiled broadly as soon a
The Mission of the Lost Heir 9. Hint Box
Brian went to one of the houses, whether it was a beautiful mansion in an elite area,- or one of the units on the top floor called the penthouse. Throughout the journey, his mind was busy guessing who would be willing to spend money on poor people like himself."So, where are you going now?" Alessia asked. The girl sat next to Brian on the bus that would take them to one of the houses."I don't know. I'll check first which one I feel comfortable with," Brian answered without looking at the girl.Their introductory handshake was like shaking hands for a servant and master contract. Brian had explained it and Alessia didn't mind because she would only follow whoever had saved the girl from disaster. If Brian didn't come, maybe his honor would be tarnished. Brian was surprised to hear Alessia's words. This tells Brian that there are still people who protect his honor, just like Brian.Both houses can be reached by bus or taxi, the distance is only about twenty minutes. The distance from

Brian opened the lid of the unlocked box. He sat on one of the sofas facing the entrance. The expression on his face was so serious as if he was hoping for a clue that would lead directly to the person giving the money. There were so many questions in his mind about the mysterious figure who gave Brian life. Is it a god or God or something that might have crazy magical powers that transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars overnight, then now two houses with a clue?Brian turned his head when Alessia returned. The girl now looked fresh and even radiant. Alessia put a glass of cold water on the table for Brian who didn't feel thirsty at all and the girl took a sitting position on the sofa not far from the man."Who knows, you might be thirsty. This is very refreshing. The refrigerator in the kitchen is full of various foods, fruits, and vegetables. It looks like someone has just prepared it or something," Alessia said to Brian.

They moved to the living room, just like before, Brian looked displeased. The living room is quite spacious with sofas and so on. Then Brian moved to the next room. The dining room is integrated with the living room and kitchen. As Alessia said, the two-door refrigerator was full of ingredients. Two refrigerators, but that are similar have different contents. Not only the refrigerator, but the shelf above the stove table also has various contents, be it coffee beans, various types of tea, or so on when Brian opens the shelves one by one.Brian took a bottle of juice and brought it to the dining table that could seat about six people. Two on either side, one in the middle. Brian sat in the middle facing the glass door, with a view of the swimming pool

After seeing the whole house, Brian fell asleep in his room. It was starting to get dark out there, tiredness finally made Brian fall asleep soundly. His body felt uncomfortable, Brian should have caught a cold because yesterday afternoon he got caught in the rain and didn't clean himself immediately. However, because there were lots of events in the morning and walking around all day, Brian forgot that he was sick.His eyes blinked slowly. Brian woke up from his sleep in a random position in his bed. His eyes moved to glance around, thinking maybe he was just dreaming of getting all the things Brian had dreamed of all this time. Who would have thought that Brian would wake up in his rented room and find the landlord collecting his arrears?However, it turns out that what Brian experienced that day with Alessia was reality. Brian's surroundings are now a comfortable and clean place. Brian tried to sit up but his head felt heavy and his vision became blurry for a moment, and he felt li

Morning has replaced night. Brian woke up from his deep sleep with the help of medicine. Even though he has not fully recovered, his body condition is getting better. Brian got up and sat on the sofa. His gaze wandered around the quiet living room.The lights had been turned off, only the bright morning light was visible through the clear glass walls."Good morning."Brian turned to where the voice came from. Alessia smiled at him, for some reason seeing that smile made Brian uncomfortable. I don't know where the girl came from. Alessia suddenly appeared out of nowhere, or maybe Brian didn't hear the footsteps."Morning," Brian answered a little lazily.Seeing a girl's smile somehow made him a little nauseous. Maybe Clarissa used to smile warmly at him, even a little if she wanted to, and that was proven.Brian turned his face away from Alessia who was still standing where she was."What time is it," Brian muttered as he looked for the clock."Five minutes past seven," said Alessia wi

“Of course, I will,” Brian said.Alessia didn't understand.“I'm just going to make the most of this opportunity. Repaying them as late as possible while doing all the things that are my dreams and proving to them that poor people like me also have the opportunity and luck to enjoy life like them," he explained in a confident and firm tone.Brian's eyes flashed with enthusiasm. He was confident that he could hit back at the despicable and humble words people had thrown at him previously. He will walk confidently from now on and continue walking for his dreams.“And I will prove to Clarissa that a pathetic man like me will be much better after being dumped in such a humiliating way. I will repay her slowly until the girl regrets throwing me away."What Brian said looked very serious, especially with his sharp eyes as if he was ready to fight. But Brian will

"See you later. I'll contact you soon," said Alessia before Brian opened the car door."Okay. I'll wait. See you later," answered Brian.People started crowding around the car. Some are closer, some admire from a distance, and there are even quite a few who focus on just showing off.Brian knows the campus residents very well, half of whom live in luxury. One in four is common, and one in each place is fine. Those who saw Brian's car were rich people.The door slowly opened. Brian tried to ignore the sound of people screaming. He had to leave and go to class or be late again and not be able to attend class.Dare yourself. Brian took a deep breath and lowered one leg, followed by the other. Finally, Brian was able to show them that the person in the car was himself, someone they often underestimated.“Isn't that Brian? That poor Business Administration k

The girl's smile always seduced him.Brian turned around,- and nodded.Kiara welcomed Brian, hugged the man's arm affectionately, and even laughed happily as she walked down the stairs in a long-sleeved, knee-length navy dress, just like Brian. Manda didn't want her daughter to show off her curves so she designed a dress that was closed but elegant. Kiara looked like a princess with her black hair neatly styled and decorated with beautiful hairpins.Everyone was waiting for him in the living room.

163. The Effect of Sorry
Is everything finished now? I don't think so. There were still disturbing feelings in Brian's heart.“Even so, I remained by his side. Because honestly, I liked Miles the first time I saw him. But, he was cold,- and didn't care about the meeting at all. I know that he has someone he loves. Jealousy got the best of me, making me think of crazy things to separate them."Brian's heart ached when he heard Miles' confession. How bad is jealousy if it gets out of control? Is it that difficult to endure, and get rid of that feeling of jealousy? Brian didn't know, but it was something everyone had.“Miles didn't know anything, neither did Chintia, and I was the one who separated them. For some reason, I wanted to meet you,- and say this. To be honest, the feeling of guilt after Miles died in an accident because of my uncle made me unable to calm down. Then, I heard a rumor that Miles had a child. Of course, the child wasn't with me, because Miles never touched me.”A feeling of relief envelop

Seeing that the girl was busy, Brian's thoughts began to wander, and his heartbeat increased even more. For the first time, Brian felt such a strong urge within himself."Is that okay?" Brian asked in his heart.Occasionally the man glanced at Alessia's smiling face. He still seemed happy because Sean already had a girlfriend, which meant Alessia would have a sister-in-law. Brian doesn't understand, but Brian seems to have to admit that Sean is great,- and unexpected. Even though they had often been together, they had never seen a man with a woman."They're not dressed." Brian blinked his eyelids even more.What is the meaning of that thought?"I am done. Would you like a snack tonight?” Alessia offered while drying her hands and looking at Brian who remained silent.For some reason, the lighting behind the girl became dazzling, making Alessia even more charming. Are the hormones in Brian's body active? Oh, wherever Brian is, he doesn't seem to feel any hormonal fluctuations.“Bryan?”

After Azil conveyed this to Brian, Brian's doubts about his father shook his heart, but he couldn't change his decision. For several days, Brian decided to stay in the house that Miles gave him. Arnold didn't mind it either because Brian needed to calm down.That question filled Brian's mind and heart again. What was his father's reason for sleeping with another woman? Is it still appropriate for Brian to call Miles his father? I don't know, Brian doubts it.The house is still the same because someone always comes to clean. Brian also comes occasionally. Brian won't be able to leave that house, maybe one day he will decide there, rather than Arnold's big house.“I will prepare for tonight. Do you want something?" Alessia asked as usual. The girl also accompanied Brian."Whatever you cook," Brian answered.Alessia just nodded and went to the kitchen to make dinner.For several days together at home, Brian was just silent, occasionally reviewing material for his campus trial which would

"I don't believe it. Brother Miles can't do something embarrassing like that. He must have been framed. That's right, he must have been framed," said Manda hysterically, not believing what she saw.Brian couldn't say anything, neither did Azil, even Liam who tried to calm Manda."Who's he?" Brian finally asked.But Azil was silent and shook his head."Jenifer, you may have heard of it," Liam said in response to Brian's question.Brian's eyes moved, the woman who had an arranged marriage with Miles but was rejected,- was close to Brian's father,- and was involved in Miles' accident.Brian didn't say anything now,- and cupped his face with his palms. Closed his eyes, let the clear and salty liquid fall from his eyelids, and cried silently. Brian's heart ached, why could this happen? His poor mother.Manda is still crying regretting her ignorance in the past. What happened, whether true or otherwise?

“You can continue, don't mind Manda. We will still listen even if it hurts,” Liam said to Azil.Even though he was a little hesitant, seeing Brian waiting made Azil nod his head.“I insisted not to ask what the reason was. But, I secretly went back to town to find out,- and also told Miles. However, what do I get? Just hate and hurt when I see Miles with a woman, even though he looks so happy," said Azil.Azil's facial expression changed to anger, but that was only for a moment. After taking a deep breath, we continued the story.“I came back,- but didn't say anything to Sis Chintia. However, I understand the reason for making a sudden decision, and not even explaining anything. The heartache of being betrayed by a woman is like the end of everything. I understood Sis Chintia's decision,- and decided to leave, even hide. Sis Chintia probably thought that by disappearing, Miles would be happy.""That's not true," muttered Manda. “We have never been happier since then,” he continued, so

"So, I think it's time for you to find out what happened to your mother," said Azil.Brian automatically straightened up when he heard Azil involve his mother in the story he was going to tell."Mother?" Brian assured Azil that he had heard correctly."Yes, your mother, Chintia," repeated Azil, looking at Brian. "I came to tell you the reason why Sis Chintia chose to leave your father and hide herself," continued the man.Brian's eyelids moved slowly. When Brian started to no longer want to know about the past, and the reasons why his mother chose to give up after maintaining the relationship with all her might. But when Brian tried not to care, and decided not to know, someone came, claiming to know the reason."What has happened?"

Even though the distance between them has now widened, attention and affection have never diminished, on the contrary.That afternoon Brian had just come out of Arnold's study which he usually used for studying. A text message came to Brian's cell phone.[I came to visit, are you free?]Ask for a text message from Azil.Brian immediately responded with a telephone call,- and asked if Uncle Azil would come.“Yes, I came to visit,” answered Azil.“Where is Uncle now?

Brian threw himself on the living room sofa, there was no one there. Brian was tired even though he didn't do much work."Being the center of attention is tiring," Brian muttered with a sigh."Why?"Brian turned to where the voice came from. Manda appeared out of nowhere with a jar of snacks in her hand,- and a cup of drink that was still steaming. The afternoon is perfect for spending time with a cup of warm drink.Straightened his body and sat down. Brian watched his aunt put cups and jars on the table and then looked at Brian.“What are you mumbling about, Brian?” Manda asked curiously.However, Brian was silent and Manda did not demand that Brian say it."You have to be able to handle it," said Manda after taking the television remote and changing the channel. "When it's finished, you'll get used to it, and after that maybe you won't care," continued Manda as if he knew what Brian was muttering.If Manda knows, why ask? Brian thought his aunt's attitude was a little strange.“I'm
